Week 16 and with games today and Saturday I've decided to give a few picks on the Friday and Saturday games. Once again I see no weather problems especially for the Friday and Saturday games as they are all being played inside. So below are my picks for Friday and Saturday.

My first pick is the Minnesota Vikings/New Orleans Saints game going over 50 on Friday.  Both these teams have something to play for but the Vikes need a lot of help and the Saints want a bye the first week of playoffs. Both these qbs have thrown for a combined 5 tds last weeks and I can see that number going up this week. Give me the over in this game. If the  lines stays below a td I also lean towards the Saints.

My next pick is the Tampa Bay Bucs/Detroit Lions game going over 53 on Saturday.   If there is one thing I can say about the Lions they play hard every game and will give the Bucs a good game. I like this game to go over the total. I also am leaning towards taking the 9 1/2 points with Detroit to keep it close.

My last pick until Sunday is the San Francisco 49ers/Arizona Cardinals game going over 48.  I like the fact that the George Kittles is coming back for the 49ers which should increase their team total. I don't see the 49ers doing much more than slowing down the Cardinals but this game should go over the total into the mid 50s.

I will be back Saturday night with the rest of my picks in the NFL.

And as always  - Remember to bet with your head and not over it.
