Flea Flicker Week 16 Predictions

Two weeks remain in the 2019 NFL season. Week 16 brings some playoff-like games and today's triple-header. Here are some guesses at this week's games.

Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Vikings
All I want for Christmas is a demolition of the Packers. And a Vikings win and Packers loss in Week 17. And a Vikings run through the playoffs. And a Vikings Super Bowl.

Houston Texans @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Pick: Texans
The Texans are wildly inconsistent. The Buccaneers have won four straight. I guess that I'm siding with the inconsistent team against the hot home team.

Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots
Pick: Patriots
The Patriots find a way to win big, late-season games.

Los Angeles Rams @ San Francisco 49ers
Pick: 49ers
The 49ers put an end to the Rams season in tonight's nightcap.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Atlanta Falcons
Pick: Falcons
The Falcons are soaring into the offseason. The Jaguars are stumbling into it.

Baltimore Ravens @ Cleveland Browns
Pick: Ravens
The Ravens get an opportunity to avenge the one blemish to their terrific season.

New Orleans Saints @ Tennessee Titans
Pick: Saints
This could be a real fun game between two of the most entertaining teams in the league.

Carolina Panthers @ Indianapolis Colts
Pick: Colts
At one point this season, these teams were two of the most interesting teams in the league. Injuries took the fun out of the season for both teams.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Miami Dolphins
Pick: Bengals
One team wanted the first pick in the draft. The other earned it.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ New York Jets
Pick: Steelers
One team is fighting for the playoffs. The other is the Jets.

New York Giants @ Washington Redskins
Pick: Redskins
Dwayne Haskins looked like a first round quarterback last week.

Detroit Lions @ Denver Broncos
Pick: Broncos
Both teams can be feisty. The Broncos aren't quite as depleted as the Lions.

Oakland Raiders @ Los Angeles Chargers
Pick: Chargers
The Chargers can be a pretty good team when they don't turn the ball over seven times. If the Raiders can't win their last game in Oakland, they can't win this game.

Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Cowboys
If the Cowboys can play like they did last week they're in the playoffs. I'm not sure that they can do that in consecutive weeks but they're still better than the Eagles.

Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks
Pick: Seahawks
The Cardinals are often a tough out but the Seahawks should win this must-win game.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Chicago Bears
Pick: Chiefs
The Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes are hitting their stride at the right time.
