Staff picks Week 16 of the NFL

December 20, 2019

 

Two week remain in the 2019-20 NFL season, and Marc Calnan has almost wrapped up his first title as Eastern Maine Sports pick champion. Calnan went 11-5 last week and leads the next closest competitor Chris Lessner (8-8) by 10 games. The final standings two through five may be the only thing left to fight for as Lessner stands second, but only one game up on two time champ Jeff Hoak (11-5). Anthony DelMonaco (11-5) is only one game behind Hoak, and Cassidy Lessner still has time to move up to at least second as she is three behind DelMonaco. This weeks matchups feature some big playoff type games as Dallas is in Philadelphia to visit the Eagles with the winner most likely winning the division, in Foxboro where New England hosts Buffalo as the Bills are only one game behind the Patriots for the division lead there. Also Monday night in another big game for division like implications Green Bay visits Minnesota to rangle with the Vikings. Here are last weeks results/season standings and then the Week 16 projections:

Marc 11-5/145-78/-

Chris 8-8/135-88/-10

Jeff 11-5/134-89/-11

Anthony 11-5/133-90/-12
