NFL Football Picks

The Colts enter in scorching form as they have now won seven of their last eight games. Very simply, Indianapolis is one of the hottest teams in the league at the moment as their eyes are fixed on earning their way into the playoffs. Most sportsbooks have the Colts -9. Can they bury the Giants in week 16?

The Jaguars are currently in the midst of one of the most underwhelming offensive stretches in franchise history. In the last 3 games, the team has averaged just 219 total yards and 9.3 points per game. Things have been so bad that Head Coach Doug Marrone benched long time starter Blake Bortles to give Cody Kessler a chance. What kind of offense can we expect with Kessler in the driiver’s seat? Jay has you NFL prediction.

Making it to .500 might have never been a bigger achievement. The Browns continue to show the world that they are not a shade of the outfit that won just one game over the previous two seasons. After earning a victory in the Mile High City on Saturday night by a score of 17-16, the Browns now have an opportunity to be .500 for the first time in over a decade. And that leaves the Browns with a hefty 7 point spread in week 16!

Last time these team met was November 4th and the Vikings took a 24-9 home win We aren’t sure Detroit is in a better position now. In that game, they scored no touchdowns, with their scoring coming on three field goals. This was back when the Lions were running the ball well. With Detroit getting 5.5, is there any reason to bet them? LL has your Vikings-Lions prediction!

These two teams are very familiar with each other. Being that they both compete in the NFC South and they see each other two times a year they have become heated rivals. This series began back in 1995 and since that time, the Falcons have jumped out to a 29-18 series lead including winning the last two and five of the last six. Bob Clark takes a look at the recent matchups and gives his NFL prediction for this week 16 game.

Man, man, man…the takeaways from week fifteen. Is this a replay of last season? The Eagles lose Carson Wentz…Nick Foles takes over and in his first game leads the Eagles to a huge win on the road…are the Philadelphia Eagles about to go on a run again? Probably not, but this game against the Texans on Sunday will be very interesting. Sportsbooks have the Philly at -2. Do they follow the script and get the win against the spread?

The Bills weapons are in short supply now with Kelvin Benjamin off to Kansas City, Zay Jones leads the team in receptions and yards and rookie Robert Foster continues to impress after posting over 100 yards in a touchdown in their win last week. On the season he is now second on the team in yards and posts a 24.6 yards per catch average. After that there isn’t much else as tight end Charles Clay has been a big disappointment and without Benjamin it remains to be seen who might step up next in his absence. Do the Bills have enough to stay inside of 13 points?

They like to say that because there are only 16 regular season games in the NFL, each one matters. I guess each is important in some regard but we are at the point in the season when some appear to be rather meaningless. The Green Bay Packers head east to take on the New York Jets in a battle of teams that are firmly looking ahead to next season. The Jets have been in this spot before and knew this year was going to be Sam Darnold’s on-the-job training session more than anything else but the Packers are not accustomed to being in this position. Pride is on the line here in week 16. Sportsbooks opened Packers -1.

The Chargers are already in the playoffs. That doesn’t mean they want to settle for a wild card spot after working so hard to even divisional matters with the Chiefs. Finishing the season on a winning note would lock up a top-seeding whereas a slip-up now could result in having to play on wild card weekend. It would just be a strange time for the Bolts to start slacking off mentally. They had the long week, are at home, and have a lot on the line. Does that make them a good bet at -4.5? LL has your NFL pick!

Washington started the season with a 6-3 record and was on top of the NFC East after week 10. Their season took a nasty turn in week 11 when Alex Smith’s leg broke, then an even nastier turn in week 13 when back-up Colt McCoy suffered the same fate. Mark Sanchez was left to man the QB position for Jay Gruden’s squad. That was didn’t go well. Josh Johnson was signed off the street to back up Sanchez, and took over as the starter last week in Jacksonville and led the Skins to a 16-13 victory. Most betting sites had them as 7 point dogs. Sportsbook have the Skins as 10 point dogs this week. Allen has your NFL prediction.
