NFL Week 16

Steelers 27, Panthers 3

Here’s hoping you followed Yours Truly’s advice and bet on Pittsburgh in this game despite the big spread. The Panthers just didn’t have a hope in hell with Jimmy Clausen under center in a night game at Pittsburgh in December.

Cardinals 27, Cowboys 26

Strangely enough, the Cowboys almost seemed to get caught “looking past” the Cardinals in this one. I know Dallas is long out of it but, under Jason Garrett, America’s Team has enjoyed playing spoiler against good teams. The Cowboys just couldn’t get up for Arizona.

Chiefs 34, Titans 14

They did it. The Chiefs are AFC West Champions. Pretty cool to see an old-school franchise with such a jacked up fan base back in the playoffs. Make that 27 touchdown passes and just five interceptions in 14 games for Matt Cassel. Wow.

Ravens 20, Browns 10

The Ravens didn’t have too much trouble after the first quarter in this one: they have Cleveland’s number. Concerning subplot: Peyton Hillis coming back to Earth. Juggernaut has only 65.8 rushing yards per game and no touchdowns in his last four.

Patriots 34, Bills 3

You have to love a powerhouse that doesn’t discriminate. The Patriots have just as much fun blowing out the lowly Bills as they do contenders like the Bears.

Rams 25, 49ers 17

Finally, the Rams answer the bell. I know 7-8 is a pitiful record for a team on the cusp of winning a division but the Rams deserve a playoff berth more than the Seahawks, don’t they?

Lions 34, Dolphins 27

Are the Lions the 2009 Chiefs? The bottom feeder that keeps beating the spread, losing close, pulling off the odd upset? It’ll be interesting to see if they can make similar strides next year.

Redskins 20, Jaguars 17

Talk about a choke job by the Jaguars. Given how well their line had been playing of late, I figured they’d run through Washington at home even without MoJo. It wasn’t to be. Jack Del Rio’s job is officially in jeopardy again.

Bears 38, Jets 34

Didn’t see this score coming. With 11 wins, the Bears are forcing us to take them seriously. Why, though, do I still see a Jay Cutler playoff meltdown coming?

Broncos 24, Texans 23

The Texans continue to show that they’re Bungles 2.0. Outscored 24-0 by Denver in the second half. And how about Tim Tebow? It was against the league’s worst secondary but 308 passing yards from the rookie opened some eyes.

Colts 31, Raiders 26

Peyton Manning is making better decisions with the ball now and the Colts are winning because of it. Case in point: downing the ball short of the goal line late in the game after his naked bootleg. Fantasy football players will hate him for that but he clinched the win by doing it.

Bengals 34, Chargers 20

At first glance, this final score is eye-popping. What? The Chargers blew their season by losing to the Bengals? When you look closer, though, this was a warm-weather, west-coast team making a cross-country trip to play a cold-weather, east-coast team. Tough conditions to endure.

Buccaneers 38, Seahawks 15

As much as the Packers appear to control their own destiny…isn’t it still possible for the 9-6 Buccaneers to qualify? Someone do the math. And post it in the comments section, please.

Packers 45, Giants 17

I actually called a Packers blowout win over the Giants. The Patriots were blowing everyone out and the Pack only lost by four points at New England with Matt Flynn at quarterback. Back at home and with Aaron Rodgers under center, it’s no wonder they dominated.
