RotB Pick'em: The Mandatory Pick Week 16

by Hawkwind on Dec 22, 2009 5:23 AM MST Comment 29 comments

You will find your username in the tables below if you have at least seven weeks picked with the remaining two weeks of mandatory picks upcoming. If you do not submit your picks before the Titans/Chargers kick-off at 7:30 PM ET on Christmas Day, you will not find your username in the table the following week as this is now RotB Pick'em crunch time; snooze you lose, literally. This year's overall winner will be getting some Cardinals playoff swag and the best of the "Every Week Picked Gang" as well!

This was a week where Andrew602's reverse psychology produced the same results (50%) as most of our normal predictions. Never the less, robloosli and Tim V managed six correct predictions to take the Week 15 Week Won Point (robloosli is at the top of the charts for the "Every Week Picked Gang").

Cleveland makes the schedule of picks for a third week in a row; will it be three victories in a row for the Browns? Our prime time choices have lost their off-season allure and San Francisco is still dead to me (as is Seattle).

Before I forget

San Diego (CJ and VY could be the Chargers’ Grinch but going with the hot hand.)
Josh Cribbs (Raiders should start JP Losman, why not?)
Pittsburgh (Spirited game against the Packers helps this week too)
Miami (Texans fans must have ulcers galore)
Arizona (Trap game! I cannot even type that with a straight face.)
Philadelphia (Raiders to the Broncos what the Niners are to the Cardinals)
Dallas (Zorn impeached during the game.)
Minnesota (Cutler regretting his temper tantrum in Denver now? Orton happy as ’ell!)

Don't waste time or Time will waste you.

so I won't forget this week

SD – SD is on a roll
OAK – Quietly OAK is having a decent season
PIT - give me the home team in this division rivalry
MIA - tough game between two teams looking to stay in the playoff hunt
ARI - should be a blowout
PHI – Denver is circling the bowl faster than bad chinese food
DAL – should be another blowout
MIN – how many picks can Cutler manage this week?

Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Still going for that basement

OAK – Not that it matters but Quinn is now out.
BAL – In the race for the wildcard spot. They will fight for this one.
HOU – They always beat the Dolphins.
ARI – Will be a bad week for Keith Null if he plays.
DEN – Philly will be looking to beat Dallas next week.
DAL – Redskins will try harder but still lose.
CHI – Cutler needs a game to prove his worth.
