Carolina at St. Louis - I see the Panthers' defense keeping it close, the underrated Steve Smith giving the Panthers a chance to score but nevertheless falling short of the Rams who have just too many weapons.

Re: [GoBills] Week 16 NFL Picks
John D. Giorgis wrote: Thank goodness my horrible season of picking the NFL games is almost over. Here is one of my last gasp attempts to try and pick a perfect slate for a single week in the year: You deserve kudos for putting your thoughts on record week in and week out in such a public manner. The fact that you have had a bad season this year can be put down to a lot of reasons, a major one being luck. I have taken part in that Two Bills Drive contest all year and have had a reasonable season though I'm still mired in about 70th place. Anyone who tells you picking winners in the NFL is easy must be nuts. Take today for example. By the end of the afternoon, I'll be 10-1 for the day. (I won't tell you who the one is.) But to get to that point, the Bears had to win on a last second field goal, the Saints had to miss an extra point after a truly bizarre final play, and the Titans had to drive the field scoring on a 4th and (basically) 30 play with seconds remaining. The parity in this league is unbelievable with a few exceptions. We here in Arizona and players around the nation can almost always count on the Cardinals to keep them from an 0-for the week.

Still, I just can't help but feel that the Niners are a very good team, and the Giants are merely above average. Plus the Niners are at home, and are completely overdue to put together a complete football game. Pick: NINERS This is the one I will strongly disagree with. The Niners are just an average team who played six games in a weak division--Rams, Cards and Seahawks. They also were life and death to beat the Cowboys. While they have the best receiver in the game, they'll need more than that today. If the Giants keep Garcia penned in, this should be no contest. Besides which they're at the top of their game right now. NY 24-10. Bill ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
