NFL 2011 - Betting Lines - Picks To Win, Versus the Spread and the Over/Under: Week 16

Welcome to Week 16!  It's coming down to crunch time for the playoffs for most teams.  22 teams either have clinched a playoff spot or are still eligible to play in the post-season.  Managing a crisp 12-4 record last week was very solid with all of the upsets in week 15.  Most experts were 8-8 or 9-7 so I did very well comparatively.  I managed to already land my 150th win of the season bringing my win percentage closer to the 68% I am trying to finish the year with(I'm at 67% now).  The busy holidays have left me unable to bring you analysis of the games for week 16, but as always, my picks are on the board.  Good luck!
