UTTQ Predictions: Week 16

MINNESOTA 14, WASHINGTON 24
In one of the more shocking upsets of the season, the Redskins not only beat - but embarrassed the Giants. With the struggling Vikings coming into town as a follow up, Washington's confidence should be high against a Minnesota team that suddenly has a realistic shot at the top overall pick for the 2012 Draft. Hail to the Redskins.

TAMPA BAY 21, CAROLINA 30
The Panthers finally held a lead last week in their surprising victory over the Texans. With a disappointing Bucs team on tap, things look good for Cam Newton and company to continue the win streak.

CLEVELAND 13, BALTIMORE 27
This game poses a serious threat to a Ravens team that took one on the chin against the Chargers. On multiple occasions this season, Baltimore has struggled mightily against lesser opponents and the Browns certainly qualify as one. However, Cleveland is a fairly poor team that doesn't seem to have the firepower to score big against the Ravens D like San Diego did.

SAN DIEGO 33, DETROIT 3o
If you want lots of offense and subpar defense, this is the game for you. A win here coupled with a Denver loss make the AFC West incredibly interesting going into Week 17.

PHILADELPHIA 27 , DALLAS 24
In a similar fashion, this game means everything to the Eagles who somehow still have an outside shot of the postseason. Earlier in the season, Philly absolutely carved up Dallas. I see this happening again though with much more resistance from the explosive Cowboys offense.

SAN FRANCISCO 35, SEATTLE 14
With a late season resurgence, the Seahawks sit at .500 and have grown fairly explosive. With the No. 2 seed in the NFC still very much up in the air, don't expect the 49ers to falter in this game.

CHICAGO 14, GREEN BAY 35
With the Josh McCown era beginning on the North Side of Chicago, things look great for a Packers team that suffered it's first loss of the season last week. The Bears just don't have the weapons to keep up with Green Bay.

ATLANTA 28, NEW ORLEANS 30
The last time these two teams met, Mike Smith made a very controversial decision to have his team go for it on fourth down on their own side of the 50. This game should be just as entertaining as that one and could very well come down to a crucial coaching decision to decide the outcome.
