Week 16 Prediction Games

by Fooch on Dec 20, 2008 11:36 AM PST Comment 54 comments

While howtheyscored's Week 15 result isn't quite up yet, I wanted to post the games for Week 16 so people can start getting their picks in. If you want to wait for the results, that's certainly fine as well. At the very least you can start researching these games. With two weeks remaining, we're officially coming down the home stretch.

We've got some great matchups this week as many teams are in absolutely must-win mode. Atlanta? Must win. New England? Must win. Chicago? Must win. And even in non-must win games, teams like Carolina, New York, Pittsburgh and Tennessee are looking to position themselves for the #1 seed and the homefield advantage that comes with it. Should make for another great weekend of football.

49ers @ St. Louis - Sunday 12/21 10:00am

Green Bay @ Chicago - MNF 12/22 5:30pm

Carolina @ NY Giants - SNF 12/21 8:15pm

Pittsburgh @ Tennessee - Sunday 12/21 10:00am

Arizona @ New England - Sunday 12/21 10:00am

Atlanta @ Minnesota - Sunday 12/21 1:15pm

I don't think I did well

I think I have a good chance at second, maybe 1st in one game, and a chance to score in the niner game

Most other weeks, that Atlanta score would be good enough for at least 2 points. ro and marcello have better scores there for sure, though, so I’m not even sure if you’ll get one, this week. Brutal.

I think you should get a special reward for that. We can now call this particular achievement a groug. Or would you prefer that it go by “a grouging”?

Frankly, a grouging doesn’t sound particularly SFW to me. But it’s your call.

Well, let’s wait until Chicago crushes the Packers before we name that after me.

But it would definitely have to be a grouging. Looking NSFW just makes it better.

Mission almost accomplished… I just noticed that you did pick the Niners… even though you mentioned it above…

So it’s not a clean sheet. Oh well, I’m sure there’s something else you do that you can call a grouging.

Pittsburgh @ Tennessee: 14 – 20
