NFL Week 16 picks
Happy holidays, football fans …
Five-star upset special o’ the week: Seahawks over 49ers. I also have the Eagles over the Cowboys, but thinking that the Seahawks beating the NFC West champion 49ers would be a slightly bigger upset. The Seahawks have won five of six and are a good bet to finish with a better record than they did last season, when they won the NFC West basically by default.
Lock of the week: Steelers over Rams. Who will play at QB for Pittsburgh? Ben Roethlisberger? Charlie Batch? Dennis Dixon? Who cares? The Steelers could beat the Rams if they brought back Bubby Brister for a game.
