NFL Week 16 Free Pick:
Call it a hunch, but we think this game will be closer than many expect. The Bucs played down to their competition last week in a loss to the Lions when their playoff hopes were on the line. With their postseason lives still up in the air and another team with a losing record coming in, what’s to say the young Bucs won’t overlook the Seahawks, too? Seattle is 4-0 against the spread in the last four meetings between these two teams in Tampa Bay and 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings overall. The road team is also 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and while Matt Hasselbeck is coming off a couple of ugly games, we think he’ll somewhat rebound and keep this game close. This is a matchup second-year quarterback Josh Freeman should exploit but again, we like Seattle. Our pick is the Seahawks +6.
