NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular - Week 16

Because we here at Brainfarts love us some football, we decided that we would not only be doing college football picks each week, but we would also be doing some NFL picks, too. So, here is where I make my NAPS (NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular):

Picks are in red

Oakland Raiders (+8.5) at Carolina Panthers

Sunday 1:05

- I know the Raiders are bad but how good are the Panthers?  I feel like they shouldn't be a 8.5 point favorite over anyone.  The Raiders do have McFadden back so hopefully that will help them avoid a crazy shootout.

Buffalo Bills (+4.5) at Miami Dolphins

Sunday 1:05

- The Dolphins are another team that shouldn't be this big of a favorite against anyone, much less the Bills who are far from good but do have some weapons on their offense.  This game will still be low scoring - the Dolphins haven't scored over 24 in almost 2 months, making it even harder for the Fins to win by much if any.

New England Patriots (-14.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars

Sunday 1:05

- The Jags are horrible on top of horrible.  This may be a sucker bet but I am walking right into that trap.  If the Jags were 14 point underdogs every game this year they would be 6-7-1 against the spread - and they don't play the Pats every week.  Lately they have lost to the Bills by 16, lost to the Jets by 7, and lost to Miami by 21.  Yikes.  The Patriots defense will be out for some redemption after last week's 49ers game and Brady could sleepwalk into 35 points.

New Orleans Saints (+2.5) at Dallas Cowboys

Sunday 1:05

- It appears no one is going to stop the Saints offense.  Dallas has played much better lately and are clinging to playoff hopes.  I think Romo choking at the end plus Dez dropping lots of passes will let the Saints escape with a win.  Winner gets Sean Payton.

Last Week's Results: 0-3
