What's your top upset pick for Week 16?
Matt Bowen, NFL analyst: Raiders (+6.5) over Chargers. I go back to Oakland's Week 10 win over L.A. Just follow the same script. The Raiders took away the in-breaking routes that Philip Rivers wants to throw, and Jon Gruden's offense paired an efficient passing attack with Josh Jacobs on the ground.
Mike Clay, NFL writer: Buccaneers (+3) over Texans. The Texans pulled off an impressive win in Tennessee on Sunday, but the Buccaneers have somewhat quietly won four consecutive games, as well as five of their past six. Tampa Bay has built an offensive juggernaut, scoring at least 28 points in four consecutive games and in six of its past seven outings. This has the makings of a potential shootout, and the Buccaneers have the ammunition to come out on top at home.
Dan Graziano, national NFL writer: Titans (+2.5) over Saints. I was surprised the Titans didn't hold off the Texans on Sunday, but I still think they're on a nice roll. I saw them beat Kansas City at home, and the past couple of Saints games I've covered haven't convinced me they're the bully I thought they'd be at this point in the year. Tennessee needs this game worse than New Orleans does, and I think the Titans rise to the occasion and maybe force an AFC South title game in Week 17.
