11 Picks for NFL Week 16, Steelers at Titans
Published Friday, December 19, 2008 at 10:00:00 AM - Single-page view
There are only two weeks left in the NFL regular season. We're going to do our picks all through the playoffs, which should reinvigorate me, because, frankly, I've had little to no desire to watch pro football lately. The Browns sucked. My fantasy team was a disaster. I lost my survivor pool in heartbreaking fashion a few weeks back. I need to have the fire re-lit.
This week, we're picking a great matchup, Pittsburgh Steelers at Tennessee Titans. The line is Pittsburgh -1.5, but we're all just picking straight up. I have NO IDEA how these picks are going to play out...

This week, we're picking a great matchup, Pittsburgh Steelers at Tennessee Titans. The line is Pittsburgh -1.5, but we're all just picking straight up. I have NO IDEA how these picks are going to play out...
Accuscore. (6-9 on the season) Accuscore is very close on this one... it's going with the Steelers but just slightly, 52 percent to 48 percent. Usually it just has one percent missing. This week it has two percent. I feel like Accuscore is getting lazy toward NFL picks just like I am.
Accuscore just slightly favors the Steelers.- Former NFL star Eric Allen. (7-8) Last week, Allen broke his Ripken-like streak of picking the team that was favored... he went with the Vikings over the Cardinals. And it worked for him. But that little adventure down Unpredictable Lane is now over, as Allen is going with the favored team, the Steelers.
- Random number generator. (4-11) The random number generator I use is at Random.org. I flip one coin there. Heads is home team, tails is away. It flipped tails, so the random pick goes to the Steelers.
- Homeless guy outside my office. (5-10) I got his picks for the next two weeks, just in case he decides to relocate for the holiday season. You never know. This week, he's going with the Titans.
Battle of the mascots. (10-5) Yet another domination in this battle. As much as steel workers might be able to craft some tools to temporarily fend off titans... titans are gods. You put a welding iron to their calf they just laugh and ask if there's a breeze blowing across their leg. Easy pick is the Titans.
Titans are gods. Steelers are men. It is no battle.- Adam, the early '90s fan. (10-5) Adam loves Warren Moon... but he has a real jones for the Steelers. He sees this one being close, but Rod Woodson picking off Moon late and Barry Foster icing the game on the ground.
- Fatter offensive line. (9-6) Pittsburgh clocks in just under 1,600 total pounds on the O-line, at 1,597. Tennessee's line adds up to a meager 1,527 total pounds. It's the Steelers in a landslide.

11 Points is a collection of exhaustively-researched, meticulously-written, theoretically-humorous 11-item lists, covering topics ranging from TV and movies to the Internet and video games to food and dating to politics and race relations.
It's all written by Sam Greenspan, a Midwest-born, classically-trained journalist who now tries to make a dollar out of 15 cents in Los Angeles. (It's hard to be legit and still pay the rent.)
