Who do you got in Week 16?
This is a tough one.
The Las Vegas Raiders are 2-12, they have lost 10 straight games and they are awful.
Their opponent Sunday (kickoff is set for 1:25 p.m. PT) at Allegiant Stadium, the Jacksonville Jaguars, are 3-11 and they too are an awful football team.
But someone has to win (or they tie) this battle of top pick contenders.
In Week 15, I broke a streak of picking against (and winning) in eight straight weeks when I had a feeling the Silver and Black would beat the visiting Atlanta Falcons, who were on a four-game losing streak, on Monday night. Of course, it didn’t happen.
Still, I’m sticking with Las Vegas this week. The Raiders are due for a win and Jacksonville has no business winning on the road. It likely won’t be pretty, though.
Raiders 17, Jaguars 16.
Now, it’s your turn.
