Each week on ESPN.com, the braintrust of Bristol University convene and offer their predictions for the upcoming slate of NFL games. Week 15 tighted the gap as Ron Jaworski cut his lead to just two games over Merril Hoge and Mark Schlereth (who's now one game ahead of Chris Mortensen) in the overall expert standings.

Here are the ESPN experts' picks for Week 16 (Editor's note: ESPN Sunday Night Football analyst Joe Theismann will not predict the Sunday night matchup):
