Week 16 Computer Picks

The computer was mediocre last week and was just 1-3 on the outside-the-margin picks, making it now 17-9 on the year. Here's our line on all the games (actual line in parens):

Vikings by 4 of over Packers (+3)

Chiefs by 11.5 over Raiders (+7.5, more than three points difference so our first computer pick)

Broncos by 3 over Titans (+4)

Atlanta by 4 over Saints (-3, but this line is screwy because Altanta has clinched the No. 2 seed and Vick is out, so we're sidelining this game.)

Steelers by 9 over Ravens (+6)

Lions by 5.5 over Bears (+6)

Jaguars by 4 over Texans (+7)

Bengals by 6.5 over Giants (+6)

Colts by 3 over Chargers (+7, another computer pick)

Bills by 5 over Niners (+11, sigh, the computer just can't fathom laying this kind of number)

Jets by 4 over Patriots (-3, the computer best bet of the week)

Bucs by 4.5 over Panthers (+3, the Bucs are viewed as playoff worthy by the index)

Seahawks by 8.5 over Cardinals (+7)

Cowboys by 0.5 over Redskins (-2)

Dolphins by 5 over Browns (NL over QB issues, forget you saw this if McCown starts again)

Eagles by 7 over Rams (NL because the Eagles are going to be fielding the Junior Varsity)
