Week Sixteen Picks
Christmas week has arrived, and with it, plenty of match-ups that have big playoff implications. My observations on the picks:Unanimity

Solo Acts of Bravery
Kevin Stilley, who at one time was the overall leader but who went 8-8 last week and may be showing signs of desparation, picked the Carolina Panthers to win in the Georgia Dome. In the other SAoB, Les Puryear picks the Detroit Lions (I wasn't aware that they had actually fielded a team in Detroit this year; apparently they have) to defeat the Chicago Bears. Good luck, men!
