Alright, let’s talk about them football picks, ya know, the NFL. This week’s games, who’s gonna win, who’s gonna lose. It’s all a big guessing game, ain’t it? But I’ve been watchin’ these fellas run around, and I got some thoughts.

Now, I ain’t no fancy expert, no sir. Don’t know all them big words them fellas on TV use. But I know a winner when I see one. And I know a loser too. This week, there’s some games that are clear as day, and some that are trickier than a greased pig.
First off, them Ravens. They’re playin’ the Steelers again. Them Steelers, they ain’t what they used to be. I reckon the Ravens gonna take ’em down. Yeah, Ravens all the way. That’s my NFL pick for that game.
- Ravens win
Then there’s them other teams, the ones that ain’t doin’ so good. They call ’em “under .500” or somethin’. Means they lose more than they win. But even them teams can surprise ya. There’s this fella, Mike Spector, he picks upsets. Says some of them losin’ teams gonna win. Maybe he’s right, maybe he’s wrong. But it’s somethin’ to think about when you’re makin’ your NFL picks this week.
Now, some folks use computers to pick winners. Said they got “algorithms” and “AI.” Sounds like a whole lotta hogwash to me. But they say it works. They got somethin’ called “ATS,” means “against the spread.” I don’t rightly know what that means, but it’s about how many points a team wins by, or somethin’ like that. Anyways, them computer fellas, they give you their NFL predictions, and you can bet money on it if you’re a gamblin’ type.
Me? I just watch the games. I see who’s runnin’ fast, who’s catchin’ the ball, who’s knockin’ heads. That’s how I pick my winners. And I’ve been doin’ pretty good this year, if I do say so myself. Been on a “hot streak,” they call it. Means I’ve been winnin’ more than I’ve been losin’.

So, for this week, besides the Ravens, who else I like? Well, there’s this team, they got a good quarterback. Throws the ball real purty. I think they gonna win. And there’s another team, they got a tough defense. Don’t let nobody score. I think they gonna win too. I ain’t gonna name names, ya know, keep it a secret. But you watch them games, and you’ll see who I’m talkin’ about.
It ain’t easy pickin’ winners in the NFL. These fellas, they’re all good. They’re all professionals. They all want to win. But somebody’s gotta lose, that’s just the way it is. And that’s why we watch, ain’t it? To see who comes out on top, who’s the best of the best. It is exciting to make NFL picks ATS and see if you got it right.
And remember, it’s just a game. Don’t get too worked up about it. Don’t go bettin’ your house and your farm on it. Just have some fun, enjoy the show, and maybe make a few bucks if you’re lucky. And if you ain’t lucky, well, there’s always next week. Plenty more football to watch, plenty more picks to make.
So there you have it, my NFL picks for this week. Not a whole lot of details, I know. But that’s how I do things. Keep it simple, keep it real. And hopefully, keep it winnin’. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. Got a pot of beans on the stove, and they ain’t gonna cook themselves.
Oh, and one more thing. Them computer fellas, they update their picks all the time. They got all that fancy data and stuff. So if you wanna get the latest and greatest NFL computer picks, you gotta go find them online. Me? I’m stickin’ with my gut. It’s gotten me this far, ain’t it?

Good luck with your NFL betting this week, folks. And remember, it’s all just for fun. Don’t let those NFL odds get you too stressed out. Unless you’re bettin’ against me, then you better be stressed! Just kiddin’, of course. Mostly.
One last tip for your NFL week 16 picks. Keep an eye on the weather. Sometimes, the cold or the rain can make a big difference in how a team plays. And always remember, anything can happen on game day. That’s why they call it “any given Sunday,” even if some games are on Monday or Thursday now, you get the idea. Alright, that’s all I got for my NFL picks and predictions this week. Go out there and enjoy the games!
