NFL PICKS: Week 16

Would the real football expert please stand up, please stand up, please stand up. I broke half the crap in my house after reading Bill Simmons article this week on ESPN. He is so bitter about the Steeler's Ryan Clark demolishing Wes Welker that he is actively rooting against the Steelers (to his own admission) and refuses, and I mean absolutely refuses, to admit the Steelers are the best team in football right now. Well Mr. Simmons let me tell you this. You are a whiney little (this portion is edited for your approval) and you suck more (just use your imagination here) than a gay man in San Francisco. After 15 weeks of picks you sit behind me with your record. That's right .... you sit behind a random blogger from Pittsburgh. Now would the real football expert please stand up? (psss .... Bill ..... sit your ass down)

This week I'm a little more hung over than usual. So I've decided to bring you the picks without the usual banter. Let's hope my cocky little paragraph above doesn't bring bad karma to my picks this week. Now ... On to the Picks!
