NFL PREVIEW-WEEK 16

Only two more weeks in the NFL regular season before the playoffs begin. Here are the key games..

Redskins at Titans-

Tennessee should win at home as they try to hang with Houston. Washington, at 7-7 still has wild card hopes.

Ravens at Chargers-

Los Angeles needs to win to stay tied with Kansas City, while Baltimore still has division and wild cards hopes. I like the Chargers at home.

Buccaneers at Cowboys-

Will Dallas choke? They need this game or else they will need to beat the Giants on the road next week.

Vikings at Lions-

Eagle fans hope the Lions play spoilers against their hated rival in Detroit. Minnesota, with a win, would need to also defeat the Bears next week at home to assure a playoff spot.

Giants at Colts-

Indianapolis has faint playoff hopes. Indy has come on this season and need this game badly against an inconsistent Giant team.

Bills at Patriots-

Except New England, losers of their last two games ( rare in December) to take it out at home on Buffalo. I like the Pats - 13 points.

Bears at 49ers-

Chicago needs to keep winning to get a bye in the upcoming NFC playoffs.

Steelers at Saints-

Pittsburgh, after finally defeating new England last week, can't suffer a let-down in new Orleans. The Saints need to stay with the Rams for the overall top seed in the NFC.

Chiefs at Seahawks-

Surprising loss by Seattle to the 49ers last week. Eagle fans root for Andy Reid and his Chiefs this week in Seattle. If Philly sneaks into the playoffs and can jump Seattle for the no. 5 seed, they would probably play Dallas in the post-season rather than Los Angeles or Chicago.

I went 2-0 against the spread last week in the NFL. I move to 19-12 for the season.  This week I'm taking..

Patriots - 13
Seahawks - 2 1/2
