Week 16 Picks 

Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Redskins 

Jacks pick: Eagles 

The Eagles are coming off a probably season ending loss to the Cowboys where the much maligned Bradley Fletcher singlehandedly blew their season by being burnt by Dez Bryant for 3 TD's. Fun stuff. I still think they will beat the Skins because it is a do or die game for them as they have to win out to make the playoffs and the skins have no reason to win. Also the Eagles are a much better team in all facets of the game so I don't think this game should be trouble for the Eagles. 

Josh's pick: Eagles 


Even with RG3 starting again there is way too much turnover at the quarterback position for Washington to put together a fluid offensive game against an Eagles defense that usually holds it's own. The eagles have been spiraling lately, losing there last two home games. I look for them to bounce back by praying on a redskins team that has been internally problematic all season long. 



San Diego Chargers at San Francisco 49ers 

Jack's pick: Chargers 

The Niners offense has been an absolute train wreck the last few weeks. They haven't had much of a run game and Kaepernick has been abysmal. They couldn't even put up points against a horrible Raiders team. Although the Niners do still have a solid defense, Phillip Rivers and his receiving core will be a tough test for the Niners. I don't think Kaep will be able to match Phillip Rivers production and the Chargers will win. 

Josh's pick:  Chargers 

Both of these teams have wavered their play down the back half of this season and I like the Chargers taking this one because of how Phillip Rivers performs in December compared to how Colin Kaepernick always performs. The Chargers lost Keenan Allen for the season which is a major blow to any offense as he was their number one wide receiver. I would look for Antonio Gates to get more looks or Eddie Royal/Malcolm Floyd to step up. The 49ers defense has performed admirably this season despite being without two of the games best players Navarro Bowman and Patrick Willis, however I am giving San Diego the slight edge because the 49ers offense won't be that efficient against the Chargers solid pass defense.
