Boomer and Gio both went 4-1 in Week 15, which means that Jerry Recco is getting coal in his stocking…for, even with a 3-2 run last week, he is now 11 games behind Gio with 10 picks to go, he’s out of the race in the regular season at least.
C-Lo is in for Jerry this week, and instead of making his own disastrous picks again, he’s just a proxy for Jerry (like it matters!). But, Booms still needs seven to catch Gio, and with three games split between the two, it’s make or break for the Boom-pa as he tries to shut down Greggy’s ugly Vikings Christmas sweater.
First, the current standings (last week in parenthesis):
Gio: 41-34 (4-1)
Boomer: 34-41 (4-1)
Jerry: 30-45 (3-2)
Al: 19-55-1 (1-3-1) (0-15)
And now, Week 16 picks from B&G (and J, by proxy), brought to you by Oddstrader.com, Solo Stove, and Prop Swap:
GAME 1: Indianapolis at Pittsburgh (+1.5)
Gio: Indianapolis
Boomer: Indianapolis
Jerry: Indianapolis
Former ‘Burgher Gio’s take: “The Steelers are broken. They’re done! They can’t do anything offensively, and the defense isn’t the same. This isn’t really about the Colts, it’s about Pittsburgh being broken.”
GAME 2: Chicago at Jacksonville (+7.5)
Gio: Jacksonville
Boomer: Chicago
Jerry: Jacksonville
Bears hater Gio’s take: “I know how it’s going to go: Jacksonville will keep this game close and have a lead late, but then they’ll blow it, making it the worst-case scenario for Jets fans who want Trevor Lawrence. Torture times 10!”
GAME 3: Tennessee at Green Bay (-3.5)
Gio: Green Bay
Boomer: Tennessee
Jerry: Tennessee
Man of few words Boomer’s take: “I think it’s a tight game man, so gimme Tennessee with the points.”
GAME 4: Cleveland at NY Jets (-9.5)
Gio: Cleveland
Boomer: Cleveland
Jerry: NY Jets
Ex-Jet Boomer’s take: “The Browns are going to try to run the football, and they still have a chance at winning the AFC North. They’re not coming in here flat or taking the Jets for granted. They don’t have a let-down game or a look-ahead game here.”
GAME 5: NY Giants at Baltimore (-10)
Gio: Baltimore
Boomer: NY Giants
Jerry: NY Giants
Giants hater Jerry’s take: “I’m off today, go screw.”
