Week 16 2012 Regular Season Picks and football game final score results

With the season winding down there were a number of very important games this week with quite a few teams in the NFC that were in must win situations if they want to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot.

It’s been a very exciting season and there were a number of teams that turned around a bad start to the season and there have been a few teams that have made.

If you came here looking for the results and final scores for the week 16 2012 games, after the football games take place, I will update the page with the final scores so you can see the results of the game to compare against my picks and what the odds were at the time for that game.

#1
Atlanta Falcons against the Detroit Lions

The books had this game with the Falcons winning by 3.5 points on Monday afternoon. I picked the Falcons to win by 7 points. By Friday night the line had moved to 4 points. The Atlanta Falcons win this game over the Detroit Lions 31 to 18.

#2
Indianapolis Colts against the Kansas City Chiefs

Oddsmakers had the Colts winning this game by 6 points. I picked them as having no problem on making that spread and extended it to allowing 8 points. The Indianapolis Colts win this game 20 to 13.

#3
Washington Redskins against the Philadelphia Eagles

The bookies have this game with the Redskins winning by 4.5 points. I picked Washington as clear winners and stated that they could win by 6 points even without Griffin.

The Washington Redskins win this game with a final score of Washington 27 to Philadelphia 20.

#4
San Francisco 49ers against the Seattle Seahawks

This week’s installment of our Offsides series of opposing views up an upcoming game is an NFC West matchup. The books had the line moving sometimes between even to favoring the 49ers to win the game by 1 point. I picked San Francisco to win by 3 points. A very impressive game by the Seahawks. They pretty much dominated the entire game and won against the 49ers with a final score of 42 to 13.

#5
Pittsburgh Steelers against the Cincinnati Bengals

This is really a great AFC matchup and both teams are in must win positions. Oddsmakers have picked the Steelers to win this game over the Bengals by 3.5 points. I went against the bookies on this and picked Cincinnati to win this game by 3 points.

The Bengals do in fact win this game with a final score of 13 to 10. This was very important to Cincinnati as it allows them to hold on to the 6th seed playoff spot.

#6
New Orleans Saints against the Dallas Cowboys

As of Friday evening the sportbooks had the line on this game at 1 point with Dallas winning. I wanted to take the Saints in this game but just can’t the way they have played the last few weeks. I suggested Dallas would be the side to bet even if the points were slightly higher.

The New Orleans Saints win this game in overtime 34 to 31 against the Dallas Cowboys.

#7
Cleveland Browns against the Denver Broncos

On Friday night the odds on this game at the bookies was Denver winning the game by 13.5 points. I think that the Broncos had a clear advantage to win and picked Denver to cover the spread. Peyton Manning does it again and the broncos win 34 to 12.

#8
New York Giants against the Baltimore Ravens

The Giants are favorites in the game by 1 point over the Ravens by some books and by up to 2.5 points on others. I picked the Giants to win by 4 points. The Giants just could not get it together and the Ravens won this game 33 to 14.

#9
Tennessee Titans against the Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers are the clear favorites in this game. The books have them winning by 12.5 to 14 points. Saturday afternoon Bet Online had them winning by 13 points. I think Green Bay has a clear win and covers the points fine.

Coming as no surprise to me the Packers win this game with a clear edge, like I stated. They win with a final score of 55 Green Bay to 7 Tennessee.
