NFL Gambling – Week 16 Favorites

Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 16 NFL Spread: Jaguars -3

While this may be a meeting of two bottom dwellers, the Jaguars have actually put up some fight lately, while the Titans seem to have given up the season.

[dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Jacksonville has quietly played well defensively of late, and that’s going to be the difference in what figures to be an ugly affair.

Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears
Week 16 NFL Spread: Lions -4

The Lions outclass the Bears in just about every facet of the game right now. The Bears just don’t have any answers on either side of the ball, and that’s going to mean big trouble against a Lions squad that has really come on strong over the last three weeks.

New England Patriots at New York Jets
Week 16 NFL Spread: Patriots -10

The Jets seem to find a way to put up a fight against the Patriots more often than not, but this just isn’t a game they seem to stand a chance in. New England is firing on all cylinders at the moment. This one could get ugly.

New York Giants at St. Louis Rams
Week 16 NFL Spread: Rams -4.5

The Giants have looked better of late, but that’s just because they went through an easy portion of their schedule. The Rams have quietly been one of the better teams in football, but have been done in by a difficult schedule. They get back into the win column here.

Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals
Week 16 NFL Spread: Seahawks -7.5

The Cardinals will be trotting out Ryan Lindley, who has seven career interceptions without a touchdown.

Now he gets to face Seattle’s top-ranked pass defense, and things figure to only get ugly in this one. The Cardinal’s defense is strong, but the Seahawks will run the ball down their throats en route to a low-scoring victory.

NFL Gambling – Week 16 Underdogs

San Diego Chargers at San Francisco 49ers
Week 16 NFL Spread: Chargers +2.5

Neither side has looked terrific over the last month, but there’s a lot more wrong with the 49ers than the Chargers. San Diego has also been the beneficiary of far better quarterback play in recent weeks, and that should be the difference.

Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints
Week 16 NFL Spread: Falcons +6.5

The Falcons put up their best performance of the season in the opening week of the regular year in a win over these very Saints. With the division lead on the line, the Falcons figure to put together another spirited performance. The luster has also come off the Superdome, where the Saints can’t seem to win anymore.

Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 16 NFL Spread: Chiefs +3.5

The loser of this game takes a serious hit to their playoff chances, while the winner will be in pretty good shape moving forward.

[dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Kansas City needs this one more, and they’re pass rush is the kind of thing that can throw a wrench in Pittsburgh’s dynamic offense.

Indianapolis Colts at Dallas Cowboys
Week 16 NFL Spread: Colts +3

The loss of DeMarco Murray hurts the Cowboys in more than one way. Not only was he the motor that kept the offense moving – he was effectively the team’s best defender, moving the chains and killing clock to keep the team’s woeful defense on the sideline. A shootout between Andrew Luck and an injured Tony Romo won’t end well for the Cowboys.

Buffalo Bills at Oakland Raiders
Week 16 NFL Spread: Raiders +5.5

The Bills are flying high coming off a big win over the Green Bay Packers, but now they are in for a major letdown, with a cross-country flight to play the cellar-dwelling Raiders on hand. The Raiders have shown a bit of life on offense of late, and that will at least keep the back door cover potential open.
