Sorrow for Dungy, Week #16 NFL Predictions & Football One on One Music - Make It Funky!

Our Heartfelt Sorrow for Tony Dungy, the Dungy Family and the Colts organization for the loss of his son.

Week #16 Predictions

Buffalo Bills vs Cincinnati Bengals - Bengals win by 17 points because the Bills have given up and the Bengals are preparing for the playoffs!! Yes, Marvin Lewis has his team elevating at the right time and everyone is doing their part now!! It's not just a couple of players elevating their game, it is now everyone is elevating their game. From Carson Palmer to Rudi Johnson and even to Tory James, the Bengals are in the upper-tier of the AFC. As for the Bills, their problems revolve inside the organization. In fact, they IMPLODED in the middle of the season and now it looks like MAJOR changes will happen to this team in the offseason!! Watch for Eric Moulds to leave the team as well as other named players!! In addition, the coaching will have to go through drastic changes and yes -- Sam Wyche -- Ex-Bengals coach -- will leave the organization and headed to a Headcoaching job in the NFL next year! If Sam doesn't get a Headcoaching job next year - watch for him to be take the Headcoaching job here in Buffalo!! As for this game, it's all in the Bengals Jungle!!

Tennessee Titans vs Miami Dolphins - Dolphins win by 14 points because they are believing in themselves and now have a strategy -- offensively and defensively!! Whichever quarterback starts or plays the longest (either Gus Ferrotte and Sage Rosenfeld), the Dolphins have weapons on offense that have stepped up and their defense continues to bring the pain with Zach Thomas, Jason Taylor and Keven Carter!! The Dolphins will rolll in this game. As for the Titans, these are the last few days for STEVE MCNAIR in a Titans uniform!! Believe me, Steve is ready for a move to a new team so do not be surprised to see him Arizona Cardinals, New Orleans Saints or the St. Louis Rams!! Yes, my boy McNair will find a good young team to make his final run to the Superbowl!!

New England Patriots vs New York Jets - Patriots win by 10 points because the Jets are finishing out the season! Now that the Patriots are getting healthier and several players have returned, the Patriots look poised to make a solid run to finish out the season. This game is particularly special because it will be the last MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME ON ABC! THE 25 YEAR TRADITION IS COMING TO AN END SO WATCH FOR ALL THE BIG PUBLICITY AND THE CEREMONIAL FINALE OF MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!! Yes, Tom Brady is officially back in the groove! By the way, Brady made the AFC All-Pro team again -- need I say more!

Minnesota Vikings vs Baltimore Ravens - Ravens win by 1 point because the Ravens defense will make another statement. Last Monday night, the Ravens defense shut down Brett Favre so they will most likely be feeling pretty good about themselves. Yet these are the Vikings and the Vikings are far superior than the Packers. The Vikings will be ready for this game yet it will be the Ravens defense and my boy DEION SANDERS who will continue to elevate the defense in his last 2 games before he retires! As for Brad Johnson of the Vikings, he will still execute but it will far more difficult against this Ravens' defense. Finally, there is Kyle Boller. Yes, he had a great game against the Packers but this week will be a different story! He is under the microscope so let's see how he performs!

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns - Browns win by 3 points because of their defense. Yes the Browns and not the Steelers. This is one of my UPSET SPECIALS!!. It's a classic matchup between these two teams and there is no love lost in this game. The Steelers will be physical and run the ball again and again because of the elements. The Browns will be physical and run the ball again and again because of the elements also. Yet the Steelers willl somehow get the edge with their defense causing a turnover on the young Cleveland Browns quarterback. Big Ben Roethlisberger better be careful and not injury his thumb anymore because it may get seriously damaged in this game. All in all, the Browns and the Dogpound of the Cleveland stadium will be in good form!!! Watch out for the dogs in this potential upset on lake Erie!

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Houston Texans - Jaguars win by 7 points because they are more talented. The Jaguars still have a very slim chance to make the playoffs so they will play like its a major playoff game. As for the Texans, they are playing hard yet there is not much to play for! Indeed, this is probably one of least watched games on the schedule. Not much excitement here otherthan watching how Headcoach Jack DelRio will get his players jacked up for this game on the sideline and the fact that Headcoach Don Capers is looking over his shoulders at the new Headcoach for the Texans next year -- Dan Reeves -- who happens to live in Houston and now the consultant. Hummmmm..... this seems interesting for Dan Reeves!

Indianapolis Colts vs Seattle Seahawks - Seahawks win by 10 points because they are more focused than the Colts. Wow, what a week for the Colts. Not only do they lose their first game last week, but now the tragedy that happened to Tony Dungy's family, definitely puts everything into perspective!! The entire league is sadden for Dungy's loss and he will not be around at all for this game. Yet the Colts will definitely be playing with alot of emotion for Tony. Yet with all the time committed to this story and the adjustments that the rest of the team will have to endure, will give the Seahawks the edge in this game. Some say this maybe the matchup for the upcoming Superbowl -- it just maybe! Again, our heartfelt sorrow goes to the Tony Dungy, the Dungy family and the entire Colts organization!!

Oakland Raiders vs Denver Broncos - Broncos win by 17 points because the Broncos are more than ready for the playoffs! Talk about two team going in the opposite direction! The Raiders are going absolutely nowhere and the team is imploding!! Headcoach Norv Turner has completely lost control of this team and now their star running back LaMont Jordan is out!! As for the Broncos, Headcoach Shanahan has this team fine tuned and are making a serious run for the AFC Championship game. Oh yeah, watch for my boy CHAMP BAILEY -- I mean -- ALL-PRO CHAMP BAILEY -- to get another interception and plenty of TV time!! Do it CHAMP!!
San Diego Chargers vs Kansas City Chiefs - Chargers win by 14 points because they will make the playoffs as a wild-card team!! The Chargers need this game more than the Chiefs and they will make a statement in this game with LaDanian and Antonio Gates and the Chargers defense. As for Trent Green, Larry Johnson and Gonzalez of the Chiefs, they will definitely play their A game. Yet it will be the Chiefs defense that will disappoint them again with poor, poor tackling and execution. I hate to say this, but this looks like the end for Headcoach Dick Vermeil. His emotions are fried and I don't think he can take another season not making the playoffs!! Thanks coach Vermeil for the excitement and professional attitude as a Headcoach. You are definitely a classy coach!

Dallas Cowboys vs Carolina Panthers - Cowboys win by 3 points because of Headcoach Parcells! This is a very big game for both teams but I think it will be the Cowboys who will come out the winner. Because of the Cowboys loss last week, they are desperate to get into the playoffs and they have to face a very good Panthers team. However the Panthers still play very conservative and Jake Delhomme still hasn't proven to me that he is an elite quarterback. Watch for turnovers and execution by the special teams to win this one for the Cowboys!
New York Giants vs Washington Redskins - Giants win by 7 points because they are the better team. Yes, the Redskins are still feelin' good about their win last week against the Cowboys, but here are the GGGGGGGGG-Men! Eli, Shockey and of course -- Tiki Barber -- will be more than ready for this game and be more than prepared for the blitzing defense of the Redskins!! Oh yeah, don't forget about the tenacious defense of the Giants going against Brunnel who is somehow still getting away with poor playing. Will someone put a decent hit on this guy! Brunnel will execute for the most part yet the Giants defense will shut down Portis and cause at least two turnovers with Brunnel. In the end, the GGGGGGGG-Men will find a way to win at FedEx field in Washington!

Phildadelphia Eagles vs Arizona Cardinals - Cardinals win by 3 points because they will make a statement in this game. These are the last days for backup quarterback Jake McCowen and it looks like he will be better prepared to perform in this game. The Cardinals simply have too many weapons in this game and they have nothing to lose. This is one of my upset specials and my boy Anquain Boldin will show the Eagles defense -- why he is a Superstar in this league -- AND ALL-PRO!!

Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers - Bears win by 10 points because they are going to the playoffs!! Talk about a crazy week for the Packers and Brett Favre. Is this the end for Brett -- ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Yes Brett needs to improve his play and not throw as many interceptions, yet this is a team wide problem!! Brett will come out and play his best in this game and make this a very competitive game. Yet it will be Lovie Smith's Bear team that will simply outperform this Packer team. DDDDDDDDAAAAAA Bears are just too talented not to win this game! As for the speculation on Brett -- BRETT DESERVES TO DO WHATEVER BRETT WANTS TO DO -- HE IS STILL A CHAMPION!!

Detroit Lions vs New Orleans Saints - Saints win by 7 points because they are playing somewhere close to home. Talk about a lousy game -- yet both teams are going through drastic changes now and particularly doing the offseason. Headcoach Haslett will be with a new team next year -- GUARRRRANTEEEE!! He doesn't deserve this type of treatment even though I'm not the biggest fan of Haslett. Aaron Brooks will be out of here. As for the Lions -- they are a complete disappointment and McMillan will be fired as well!!

Atlanta Falcons vs Tampa Bay Bucs - Bucs win by 14 points because they are the better team. The Bucs are still playing great football and Headcoach Jon Gruden has not allowed them to think any less of themselves after the big time loss from the Patriots last week! Cadillac will run very effectively in this game and get at least 2 touchdowns!! Quarterback Sims will settle back down and execute to Joey Galloway. As for Michael Vick, teams have figured him out. He doesn't play well outside the dome (particularly in cold weather!) In this game, the Bucs defense particularly Derrick Brooks, will put a hurtin' on Vick as well as Ronde Barber (All - Pro!!) will do some damage -- another interception. In the end, Vick will faulter again and the Bucs and Chucky Gruden will have his Chucky smile on AGAIN!!

San Francisco 49ers vs St. Louis Rams - Rams win by 20 points because the 49ers stink!! These are the last days for my boy MARSHALL FAULK AND THE MARSHALL PLAN so watch for Marshall to score a couple of touchdowns and show his still loyal fans that he still has alot of ability left! Marshall is a classy guy who and outstanding running back who will be in the HALL OF FAME after five years of his retirement. Marshall brought alot of excitement to the Rams, a Championship and put the Indianapolis Colts on the map when he played for them. Yes, THE MARSHALL PLAN IS STILL IN EFFECT -- THANKS MARSHALL!!
