Desperation Sunday - Only two games remaining heading into NFL Week 16 - Wildcard spots are up for grabs and P4P has free winners!!!!!

Here are PICKS4PLAYERS BEST BETS for NFL week 16.

Seattle @ Green Bay (-14)

On paper this game seems like a mismatch but the weather will play a huge factor in keeping this game close.  We have also noticed a positive trend lately with teams that are double digit underdogs. Seattle won’t win but they will keep it to single digits.   

OUR PICK: SEATTLE +14

 

Houston @ Miami (-3)

This is essentially a playoff game for both teams.  The loser is out of the playoff chase.  This game is easy to pick if you look at it from the view that it’s a playoff game.  Miami has the better defense and the better ground game.  They will keep Houston’s offense off the field and chew up clock running the ball.

OUR PICK: MIAMI -3

 

Denver @ Philadelphia (-7)

The Eagles offense is rolling and the return of Brian Westbrook will only make it better.  The Eagles defense will make it tough on Kyle Orton all day.  Look for a double digit victory for the Eagles.  Philly is preparing to make a deep run into the playoffs and if an injury to Michael Vick is one of your main concerns, you are fine!  Look for Asante Samuel to pick off as many as three Kyle Orton passes today and at least one will be a T.A.I.N.T (Touchdown After INT).  Brian Dawkins returns to Philly and after one possible nice round of applause…….never mind, a huge chorus of boos raining down from the loyal Philly fans, he’ll have his hands full trying to coral this Eagles offense.

OUR PICK: PHILADELPHIA -7   

 

Dallas @ Washington (+6 ½)

We have been on board with the home underdogs for the past few weeks and this looks like another good spot.  The Redskins will be in spoiler mode and fired up to put a damper on Dallas’ playoff hopes.  This will be a hard fought low scoring game.  If you’re worried about Albert Haynesworth and his getting sent home from practice by lame duck head man Jim Zorn, do not worry.  If I may quote the great philosopher AI, as in, Allen Iverson, ‘Practice! Practice!  What are we really talking about here?  Practice?  Not a game, but practice!’  So Zorn the Thorn basically pissed off the best D-lineman in the game, and then gave him a day off so he can feel better on Sunday.  Look for ‘Phat Albert’ to require constant double teams while still shutting down many of the Cowboys rushing attempts, while DEs Carter and Arakpo hammer and harass Tony Romo all game.

OUR PICK: Washington +6 ½ 

Monday Night Football in the Nation’s Capital

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins - FedEx Field - Washington, DC                                8:35 PM EST    ESPN 

The Philadelphia Eagles, coming off of their self-granted BYE week against the Raiders last Sunday, look to bury everything about their trip to Oakland.  Donovan McNabb has historically lit up the Redskins and we expect more of the same tonight.

The Redskins are a complete and total mess.  Jim Zorn is still recuperating from Dan Snyder’s first attempt at a vasectomy in the form of new offensive play caller Sherm Lewis.  Zorn has been demoted to team manager but he refuses to quit and forfeit the huge sums of money promised to him by the aforementioned amateur Dr. Snyder.  One thing about this move though, it will result in a more effective Washington offense.  They will score some tonight.

We do like the Eagles in this one although the spread has shifted from 7 up to 9 points in the last 12 hours and that makes us pause for a moment.  We usually subscribe with the theory that if all the money is going one way, then we’ll go the other.  I won’t go that far here.  We like the Eagles a lot at -7 and they will probably cover the 9, but the strong play that your consulting team at P4P  like tonight is: OVER 37 1/2.
