2019 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 16

New Orleans Saints (11-3) at Tennessee Titans (8-6)

Sunday, December 22, 1PM ET

The New Orleans Saints are rolling right now — especially over AFC South teams. After dismantling the Colts on Monday night, the Saints head to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans in a game that means plenty for both franchises.

For the Titans, this is essentially a must-win game. After dropping the ball against the Texans last weekend, they have to keep winning if they have any hope of going to the postseason. As for the Saints, they’ll want the wins to continue rolling in with the hopes of securing a first-round bye in a crowded NFC race.

Unfortunately for the Titans, I don’t think they’ll get the boost they want in Week 16. The Saints have been unstoppable as of late, and Drew Brees is still playing like he’s in his prime. To top it off, the New Orleans defense has been downright disruptive, making me wonder if the Titans will be able to get Ryan Tannehill or Derrick Henry going against them.

More than likely, the Titans will keep things interesting in the first half. Both teams will score a couple of touchdowns, and fans will be entertained. By the fourth quarter, though, the Saints will already own a commanding lead that never wavers as they secure their fifth win in their last six outings.

Prediction: Saints win 34-23
