Week 16 Picks

Completing a comeback of Frank Reich proportions, Gabe took the lead with just a couple weeks left to play thanks to a stellar Week 15(or a dismal Week 15 by Dave, whomever you want to point the finger at). Gabe still has two weeks to blow his standing atop the mountain, much like his Giants and Mets and Dave also has two weeks worth of games to embarrass himself like his Packers did last Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.

We kick off the Week 16 with our take on tonight's battle between the surging Indianapolis Colts and division champion Houston Texans.


LAST WEEK

Gabe: 10-4-2
Dave: 5-9-2


SEASON

Gabe: 111-105-11
Dave: 108-108-11

Texans (-6.5) at Colts

Dave: Texans - I wonder who got more raw of a deal in terms of primetime scheduling: ESPN with Monday Night Football or the NFL Network with their Thursday/Saturday slate. Either way, these games have been as unwatchable as an Oprah Winfrey-Danny Glover sex tape. The Colts are coming off their first win of the season, so you wonder if coach Jim Caldwell is going to give them the Lou Brown speech from "Major League II": "If we win one more, that's what they call a 'winning streak.". It makes the most sense for Indy to continue licking the stamp on the season they've mailed in so far and just take a dive against the Texans and hang on to that #1 pick. After getting humiliated by Carolina(a game your boys at BoomRoasted forgot to pick), Houston isn't going to let themselves get beat by their second lowly team in five days. Heavy dose of Arian Foster here, mixed with some Ben Tate. Texans by 10.

Gabe: Texans
