With three weeks left, we remain deadlocked.
Straight up, Simms and I were an equally mediocre 9-7 in Week 15. For the year, we’re 138-86.
This week, we disagree on SIX games. One of us, in theory, could open up an insurmountable lead.
For all Week 16, scroll along and read along.
Saints at Rams (-4)
The Rams are the one team that the best teams in the NFC won’t want to see in the playoffs.
Florio: Rams, 28-20.
Simms: Rams, 28-20.

Packers (-5) at Panthers
Green Bay desperately needs to turn things around.
Florio: Packers, 27-13.

Good luck convincing anyone to show up on Christmas Eve for this one.

I believe in the Bucs. Simms doesn’t, yet.
