Week 16 NFL Picks: Obituary Notice for Teams Sure to Be Buried

Week 16 of the 2011 NFL season is loaded with games that should go down to the wire. 

A few games simply won't. 

These are the teams that get annihilated over the holiday weekend. 

St. Louis Rams 

Although they're facing the Charlie Batch-led Steelers, the Rams are no match for Pittsburgh's defense. It's that simple. 

St. Louis is averaging less than 12 points per game this season. 

Coming off a rather humiliating loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the Steelers will be looking to bounce back in a major way at home.

Oh, and James Harrison is back. 

This could get ugly. 

Chicago Bears 

As if things weren't bad enough for the Bears with Jay Cutler and Matt Forte injured, now there is a chance they'll have to deal with the Packers without a few more of their stars. 

Not good. 

Josh McCown can't be as bad as Caleb Hanie, right?

Expect the Packers to rebound from their Week 15 loss by utilizing quick passes across the middle that will mask their offensive line injuries. 

The pursuit of 16-0 is done, but Green Bay still wants to lock up home-field advantage. 

Cleveland Browns 

The Browns were beaten by the Ravens 24-10 in early December and Ray Rice ran for 204 yards on 29 carries. 

Nothing against Joe Flacco, but Baltimore is the most successful when they provide Rice with 20 or more carries. 

He'll be given his fair share of rushing attempts this week en route to a Ravens win that allows them to keep pace with the Steelers in the AFC North.
