What are the best bets for Week 16 of the 2014 NFL season?

Happy Sunday!Ā We have only two full Sundays remaining in the 2014 NFL season, and while that brings a certain level of sadness, we must take solace in the action in front of us. Unfortunately, that solace does not extend to last week’s performance in this space, as we suffered what seems like our 37th week of the season (all numbers approximate) that ended in a 2-3 record. Still, we are undeterred, and Week 16 brings additional optimism.

As always, ā€œfade the publicā€ is theĀ general principle of this column, and if there is anything to indicate that the ā€œsharperā€ investment leads toward one direction, we will often be the first to pounce on it, even if it requires some ignorance to reality and public perception. Before we get to the picks, let’s look at where we stand for the season, includingĀ last week’s uptick:

  • Last week: 2-3
  • Season: 35-39-1

With that out of the way, let’s take a look atĀ this week’s selections!
