WEEK 16 PICK ME UP
It's Week 16 in the National...Football League!
Week 15 wasn't too bad for me, as I went 10-6. But boy, did I miss on a few. Way to blow that one, New England. Same goes for you, Tampa Bay.
But hey, it's a new week. And it's a special edition of the Pick Me Up, since I'm posting this on Thursday instead of Friday. Packers-Vikings is on Christmas Eve, which is tomorrow. Hooray for an awesome football game on Christmas Eve!
WEEK 16
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24 (CHRISTMAS EVE)
Green Bay at Minnesota (FOX, 12 p.m. Pacific)
(The winner of this game takes the NFC North. Seahawks fans, this is one game you should watch with much anticipation.)
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25 (CHRISTMAS DAY)
Oakland at Kansas City (CBS, 2 p.m. Pacific)
(Take the Chiefs at Arrowhead)
Denver at Tennessee (ESPN, 5:30 p.m. Pacific)
(UPSET OF THE WEEK. The Broncos are done)
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 26
EARLY GAMES
New York Giants at Cincinnati
(Carson Palmer may not play, but I'll still take the Bengals)
Chicago at Detroit
(Somehow I don't think the Lions will botch another snap this week)
San Diego at Indianapolis (CBS, televised in Arkansas)
(The winner of this game will earn the 3rd seed in the AFC)
Houston at Jacksonville
(What do Michael Vick and Byron Leftwich have in common? They are the only two quarterbacks to beat Brett Favre at Lambeau Field when the temperatures are below freezing.)
Atlanta at New Orleans (FOX, televised in Arkansas)
(Vick may not play in New Orleans, but it won't matter this week)
Baltimore at Pittsburgh
(Win, and the Steelers clinch homefield advantage in the AFC)
LATE GAMES
Arizona at Seattle
(I want the Seahawks to finish 9-7. None of this 8-8 or, gasp, 7-9 garbage.)
New England at New York Jets
(Chad, it's a privilege to get your ass kicked by the Patriots)
Buffalo at San Francisco
(The Bills could bring back Alex Van Pelt to play quarterback and they would still beat the 49ers. This game is also known as the Chris Berman Classic.)
Carolina at Tampa Bay
(The Panthers deserve to finish 8-8)
Washington at Dallas (FOX, televised in Arkansas)
(Gibbs vs Parcells for the final time? We'll see in a few weeks.)
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Cleveland at Miami (ESPN)
(This is a game I don't plan on watching. I'll probably watch a movie or play a video game during the 7:30-10:30 period)
MONDAY, DECEMBER 27
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Philadelphia at St. Louis (ABC)
(LOCK OF THE WEEK. The Eagles minus Terrell Owens should be able to win this game in the Edward Jones Dome.)
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
It is a four-day slate in the NFL this week, with the Packers-Vikings on Christmas Eve and the last Monday Night Football game of the season, Eagles-Rams.
You'll get to watch 8 NFL games this week. That's half of the 16 games that are scheduled. It's too bad for my sake that the Cardinals-Seahawks won't be one of the televised games here. But at least I have the internet so I can follow the game to the best of my abilities.
Check that, there's 7 games that I'll watch this weekend, since I said that I wouldn't watch the Browns-Dolphins. This is another reason why I'd be in favor of the NFL changing the TV schedule late in the season.
Anyways, enjoy the games and the presents that you'll receive.
