Week 16 Algorithm Picks

There are some big games this week.  Here are the algorithm’s picks.  I hope it does better than last week but there were some surprising results.  It correclty predicted Indianapolis would cover the 6.5 points they were giving so here are the rest of the predictions.

Game	Algorithm Predictions	Personal Comments
Ravens +4 @ Cowboys Total: 39.5	Take the Ravens and the Over	I personally think the Cowboys will win this game and cover, but these are not my predictions.  Everyone is talking about how Romo will be affected by the Ravens defense.  Baltimore has a rookie QB.  Think of how much he will be affected by the Dallas D.
Bengals +3 @ Browns total: 32.5	Take the Bengals and the Over.	The Bengals are playing better football.
Steelers –2 @ Titans Total: 34.5	Take the Titans and the Over	The algorithm predicts a Tennessee win.
49ers –5.5 @ Rams Total: 43.5	Take the 49ers and the under.	The 49ers are the NFC’s submarine team.
Chargers +3.5 @ Buccaneers Total: 42.5	Take the Chargers and the over.	You know everyone wants to see Denver lose and San Diego win.
Dolphins –3.5 @ Chiefs Total: 39.5	Take the Dolphins and the over.
Saints –7 @ Lions Total: 50.5	Take the Saints and the over	Come on Detroit.  Don’t go 0-16.  Nothing against the Saints, but no one should want to see a team go 0-16.
Cardinals +7.5 @ Patriots total: 45.5	Take the Cardinals and the over.	The algorithm predicts Patriots 31, Cardinals 24.
Texans –7 @ Raiders total: 43.5	Take the Texans and the under.	The Texans are the AFC submarine team.
Bills +6.5 @ Broncos Total: 45	Take the Bills to cover the points.  The algorithm predicts 45 points will be scored so it cannot pick the over/under.	Go Bills.  I want to see the Denver, San Diego showdown for the AFC West next week.
Jets –4.5 @ Seahawks total: 43.5	Take the Jets and the Under	I personally say take the Seahawks.  It’s the last home game for the coach who is pretty popular.  This is a dangerous game for the Jets.
Falcons #3 @ vikings Total: 43	Algorithm says take the over.  It also predicts the Vikings by 3 so cannot pick against the line.	This should be a great game.  The Vikings are starting to scare me a little.  Will Jackson revert?  This is the question.
Eagles –5 @ Redskins total: 38.5	Take the Eagles and the Over	I hate the say this, but Go Redskins Go!
Panthers +3 @ Giants Total: 37.5	Take Carolina and the Over	I have the feeling the Giants will bounce back.  Even though the Panthers are 2-0 against the Cowboys in the playoffs, I would rather play them in Carolina for the NFC championship.
Packers +4 @ Bears Total: 41	Take the Bears and the Over.	The Packers have given up.  This should be a Bears cakewalk.  The only thing I can think of for GB is Rogers may feel he has something to prove.
