For the first time in a long time (and definitely longer than I’m capable of remembering), Simms and I are in complete agreement on a full slate of 16 games.
With our straight-up competition knotted up with only two weeks left in the regular season, we have a grand total of zero disagreements this week.
Zero. In 16 games. We disagree on some of the picks against the spread, but he’s already beating me by seven there. Straight up, we’re both 148-92.
For all 16 picks, scroll away.
Jets at Browns (-7.5)

Florio: Ravens, 28-24.
Simms: Ravens, 24-20.

Titans at Texans (-4.5)
The Texans need this one, badly. The Titans aren’t about to surrender, to anyone.
Florio: Texans, 24-21.
Simms: Texans, 20-17.
