Week 16 Matchup: New York Giants (5-9) vs. St. Louis Rams (6-8)
TV Schedule: Sunday, Dec. 21, 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX
Stadium: Edward Jones Dome
Line: St. Louis (-5)
The St. Louis Rams and New York Giants don’t have much to play for when it comes to the playoffs, but they still can play for pride. Once upon a time, that meant something, right?
The Giants struggled quite a bit for a good portion of the season, but they are now on a two-game winning streak. Although winning the next two would certainly give the Giants some momentum heading into the offseason, I just don’t see that one happening. Sure, New York is capable of knocking off the Rams, but then it will have to play the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.
As for the Rams, they are coming off a loss. Before that loss, though, they managed to outscore their last two opponents by a combined score of 76-0. I don’t care who a team plays, that is downright impressive. Of course, St. Louis came back down to earth in Week 15 by only scoring six points.
Although this game could go either way, give me the home team. The Rams may have had an up-and-down season, but they have still beaten teams like the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos. Both teams are just a little more talented than the Giants, and will also be in the playoffs with Super Bowl on their minds.
PREDICTION: Giants 27, Rams 28
