DLT's Deadlocks - NFL Picks Week 16 2015

Hi there folks. It's our Christmas version of DLT's Deadlocks. While my picks of late have been lumps of coal, we're hopeful this week we'll have more whoseit's and whatchamacallits. Of course, Christmas isn't about the presents for Christians. It's a time to celebrate the birth of the savior Jesus Christ.

For non-Christians, its a time of peace, renewal and to be with family. As the song goes, its the most wonderful time of the year.

We at Bucs Nation wish you a very happy holiday and for our Christian readers, a very Merry Christmas.

Now, let's see what we can give to our NFL teams.
