WEEK 16

The recent play of Kerry Collins has given Raiders fans hope for next season.
Raiders 42-38

The Bills need to keep their focus and not look too far ahead to the Steelers in Week 17.

Giants should get killed in Cinn...

And Mark, I want my Raiders to lose this week...its for the high draft pick...

NE wins also...

SD vs Indy should be the game of the week...

Redskins 16-13

The Redskins haven't won in Dallas since '95. That's just way too long. Not even the refs will be able to save them this time. This will be LaVar's second game back. I'm almost going to feel sorry for Vinny... almost. HTTR!

Redskins 27-13

The Pats weaknesses in WR/OL/DB are finally catching up to them. Their LB corps is starting to show it's age and the coverage/return teams have been awful. They'd better hope Indy beats SD on Sunday or else they'll be playing in the 1st round.

Raiders 42-38
Kerry's the kind of guy that will have a great game, like he did last week, and then have a crap game. He's playing an awful KC defense but I don't see him having the kind of game they will need to pull out the victory. I've got the Chiefs here.

I think the Steelers will win, but I don't think it'll be that much of a blowout. 20-17.

If it was in SD, I'd pick the Chargers too. But, I just don't think the Chargers can go into that dome and come out with a victory, especially now that the Indy defense is playing better.

Jets 34-17
Wow, I can't believe you picked the Jets. Seriously, I'm stunned. Personally, I don't see the Jets beating the Patriots that badly. I'm curious whether Hackett will pull out some more tricks and open up the offense like he did against Seattle or will he become a wimp again like he usually does - and admits to doing against elite teams. I really hate that guy. Anyways, I see the Jets pulling out a victory but it will be close. 20-13.

I agree with all the other picks.

I try to be objective but I'd like to take a mulligan on picking Houston over the Jets. I must have had too much caffeine that day. :O

As for my score of 34-17, I've observed that when you play bad, you lose bad. If Ty Law doesn't come back, the Pats are done.

You KNEW things were in the gutter when we actually lost to these guys once in '02. NOT happening twice in 3 seasons! The Cowboys WILL find a way to win, and I can 99% guarantee it WON'T be pretty! I'll reverse your prediction and say Cowboys 16-13.

I think the Pats lose to the Jets, but I think it's alot closer than that.
Do you really think they are in that bad shape?

JWF...I hope you are right....I have a good feeling about this game....BUT with that said I must keep 2 things in mind:

1) this is the JETS
2) Paul Hackett is still our offensive coordinator

Until I see it happen....Im not picking the Jets to win a "big" game....and Im certainly not gonna be overconfident in a Paul Hackett-led offense in a "big" game....Hackett's past results speak for themselves....here's to hoping things change on Sunday...but until then

20-17 Patriots

I hear ya. I just keep tellng myself that Seattle was the start of a turnaround for Hackett, because maybe he finally is realizing his job is on the line.

The other thing is that in this game, Hackett has to know that the Jets HAVE to be aggressive and have to throw the ball down the field because of the Patriots injuries in the secondary. I'm so pumped for this game!

Thanks! The atmosphere here went a little like this:

Accompanied by triumphant jumping up and down, clapping, and screaming:
WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON!!!!!!!!!!

...JB on TV: "The Cowboys have been eliminated from playoff contention"...

AT LEAST WE BEAT THE REDSKINS AT LEAST WE BEAT THE REDSKINS! NOT GONNA BE 5-11 AGAIN!!! AT LEAST WE BEAT THE REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!!!

And high fives were exchanged by all. :D

We'll get 'em again next year, and the rest of the league, too. :gulp: :gulp: :gulp:
