PLACE YOUR BETS!!! With the NFL regular season
dwindling down into the final stages, we again had even success last week calling
50% winners. Still unable to reach the highest of levels, we continue to pick
enough winners to stack the bank account with funds.
Heading into week 16 and having a trio of contests on Saturday, we
should get off on the right foot to begin the week in hopes to run the table.
Many games hold sound playoff implications, while others will play spoiler.
This is the time of the year where betting becomes more difficult, but it
should come to our benefit. The time is now, let’s get those funds!

NFL WEEK 16 – Predictions (Projected odds makers @ Dec.19.2019

Houston (Favorite) @ Tampa Bay

SportSelect -3.5
While we completely understand what’s transpired these
past few weeks in Tampa Bay and the on slot in pass production. Hosting the
Texans in week 16, the Bucs will get their chance to play spoiler and help the
Tennessee Titans. This game will come with its challenges as missing in action
will now be Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Losing both their star receivers in
consecutive weeks will be mammoth to overcome.
Houston on the other hand will have to improve nearly
every aspect of their game to pull this one out on the road. We haven’t been
overly impressed with how the Texans have carried themselves this season as
it’s been filled with ups and downs. Nevertheless, with the division title on
the menu, we fully expect a great game plan verse a weaker opponent.

SugarHouse -6.5

Highlighting the second contest on Saturday, the hard
charging Buffalo Bills take their own fabulous defense to face off against the
Patriots. The AFC East divisional crown is literally still up for grabs and the
Bills with solid play and help could overtake New England. While the Bills have
been playing fairly sound football, we are surprised to see a touchdown spread
for the Pats given their offensive issues.
While both clubs play great defense, we should be able
to give the edge to the Bills here in terms of how their offense has been playing.
Tom Brady hasn’t been able to get on the same page with his receiving core
outside of Julian Edelman, but he too is facing injuries. This will be a low
scoring game and one big play should provide a winner. The Bills are hungry and
will come to play.

LA Rams @ San Francisco
(Favorite)
Caesars -6.5
SugarHouse -6.5
Unibet -6.5
SportSelect -6.5
This is perhaps the most difficult game to predict on
the Saturday slate as the 49ers have seen stumble verse weaker opponents.
Dropping a sure win contest to the Falcons at home last week, Kyle Shanahan
should have his troops ready to go. Stopping the run attack on this San
Francisco club is the formula to make them look pedestrian. Have to believe that
will be the plan after the Rams gave up over 200 on the ground last week to
Dallas.
The Rams funny enough are still holding hope for a
playoff spot and will need to win out and get help to find their way into the
show. They completely went to sleep last week at Dallas and couldn’t muster
anything tangible that could be viewed as positive. We truly struggle for this
match as we just don’t know which Rams team will come to play. We’ll side with
the 49ers in a massive seed game.

The Atlanta Falcons are doing their best impression to
save Coach Dan Quinn’s job, but the writing is likely on the wall. Seeing
Atlanta pull the stunner late to overthrow the powerful 49ers, Vegas is hoping
to get all the betting public on their side for this one. Seeing the Falcons
cover a touchdown spread is rather ambitious, and we wonder if it can be done.
The Jaguars are coming off a comeback victory to
Oakland and will be auditioning for jobs for next season. This game will have
absolutely no relevance to anything in the standings with only pride on the
line. Last week was Atlanta’s super bowl and we should see a major letdown.
They may win but they won’t cover.

With one of only two clubs to have beaten the
Baltimore Ravens this season, the Cleveland Browns have that positive on their
resume. While that contest came way back in week four, these teams are
completely different at this point. The Browns have been a complete disaster
this season and will literally have nothing verse this powerhouse and the
league MVP - Lamar Jackson.
The Ravens on the other hand continue to play for home
field throughout the playoffs which will keep their starters in for majority of
this contest. At this point, no one has been able to stop this offensive
attack, and the Browns will be severally outclassed. Get ready for another on
slot of points from the Ravens here.

Carolina @ Indianapolis
(Favorite)
Caesars -7
SugarHouse -6.5
Unibet -7
SportSelect -6.5
With news that the Carolina Panthers will bench Kyle
Allen amidst his recent struggles, the promotion will go to their rookie (Will
Grier) to try and lift this offense. Carolina has nothing more to play for
other than pride and evaluation.
The same can be said for the Colts who are coming off
a terrible showing on Monday Night to the Saints. Knowing how Coach Frank Reich
operates, he will have his team ready as pride is very important to finish the
season. Playing at home with a more rounded roster, we should see Indy take
charge. There is fear that Christian McCaffrey could bust this spread late, but
we’ll bite.

Caesars -1
SugarHouse EVEN
Unibet -1
SportSelect -0.5
A mere few weeks prior, this contest had the makings of being a fight
for the first overall pick in the draft, but it appears the Bengals have that
locked up. Cincinnati has been much better on the ground and have fed Joe Mixon
with all that he can handle, which should again be the case here. Having played
admirably last week, it’s tough to say how much effort they plan to bring.
The Dolphins on the other hand have opened the playbook and have
allowed Ryan Fitzpatrick to sling the ball all over the field which has secured
a few wins. In a game where both clubs have grave inadequacy, we should see a
great deal of points scored. This is a true pick’em contest and we’ll ride with
Joe Mixon leading the charge.

Pittsburgh (Favorite) @ NY Jets

SportSelect -3.5
When we review the prospects of this contest, the
headlines will read “LeVeon Bell revenge game”. Facing his former club for the
first time since leaving Pittsburgh, could this be the game he leaves
everything on the field? While that thought is nice, the Steelers current
defense is far too sound to let that happen.
While the Pittsburgh defense has been lights out, the
offense will continue to find struggle with Davlin Hodges as their quarterback.
Being a game manager with the potential of a few deep shots, the Steelers
should have this game in control for the most part. Jamal Adams is poised to return
which will give a lift to the Jets defense. Nevertheless, it’s hard to see Sam
Darnold finding much room here.

Even as we have been great supporters of what the
Titans have done with Ryan Tannehill behind center, this is a contest that will
bring them back down to earth. In a true must win game, Tennessee will bring
everything they have, but it won’t be near enough to get them over the top.
With Derrick Henry playing at less than 100% again, New Orleans will have a
savvy game plan to defend.
While the Saints are coming off another great showing
with Drew Brees breaking yet another record, we truly find it odd that they’re
favored by a mere three points. I totally understand taking travel could be an
issue, but the Titans aren’t even close to the same level as the Saints just
yet. Easy money here.

SugarHouse -2
Unibet -2.5
SportSelect -2.5
Here we find yet another contest with nothing to play
for other than getting the season concluded. Reports have shown that Daniel
Jones is practicing and should suit up for this matchup. While we would’ve
liked to have seen Eli Manning finish the year as the team starter, we can view
this as a downgrade for the offense.
Washington on the other hand has shown great levels of
improvement on the offense and will again open the playbook to get Dwayne
Haskins more reps. The chemistry is working with his receivers and we will see
a good level of pass in this one. Adrian Peterson will set the tone, and the
Skins should have another victory in their hands.

The thanksgiving lift of David Blough seems like a
year ago by now as nothing else has materialized in the stat column from this
quarterback. Opposing defenses have simply forced the issue with heavy pressure
and that will again be the case in Denver. With no run game to speak of, the
Lions are sitting ducks.
Denver on the other hand has shown good levels of
optimism with Drew Lock as the starter. Having shown good levels of poise and
early polish, this contest should act as a beauty for experience purposes. The
Broncos defense will provide many more chances for this offense to score
points, and could get one themselves. This one shouldn’t be very close.

When it comes to week 16 of the NFL, the slate will be filled with
a number of games that have no meaning, and this falls into that category. In
terms of team evaluation, the Chargers are the best team that will miss the
post season in 2019, and should take their frustration out on the Raiders.
While at first glance this spread appeared to be a little heavy
toward Los Angeles, but with news that Josh Jacobs will again miss action,
Oakland will be in for a difficult ride with limited amounts of playmakers.
Philip Rivers likes to end seasons on a high note, and LA will triumph here.

In one the most important games on the weekend slate,
the Dallas Cowboys take travel to Philly in hopes to put a strangle hold on the
division title. With how the Eagles have played this season and teamed with a
number of injuries to key players, this would’ve been a no brainer pick.
However, Dak Prescott is now on the injury report with an AC-joint sprain which
will cloud the prospects of Dallas running away to victory.
Prescott will likely suit up for this contest, but if
anyone knows AC-joint injuries, it makes it difficult to just lift your arm let
alone throw the ball. Based on the information we have today, the Cowboys could
still pull it out, but we’ll error on the side of caution for this one.

Here we find a game that has great significance to what will
happen in the NFC in terms of playoff seeding. The Seahawks jumped the 49ers
for first place in the NFC West last week and could place themselves in the
most advantageous situation with a win here verse the Cardinals.
As the Hawks continue to roll with Russell Wilson and his fabulous
play, the Cards showed good fight last week in front of their home crowd to
provide something to cheer about. Arizona is a club that can be tough to
analyze simply because they have been very inconsistent. For the Hawks to cover
10-points is quite large for us to get on board with, but could envision it
happening. Seattle beat up on Zona back in week four and we’ll bet it happens
again.

The Kansas City Chiefs showed extremely well last week in the snow,
showing that great skill verse a weaker opponent. This week taking travel to
Chicago for Sunday Night Football, Vegas has provided a very interesting line. The
Chiefs still have a good deal to play for as they could steal the first round
bye from the Patriots if they falter in one of the last two games.
Chicago on the other hand will have nothing to play for outside of
pride, we truly wonder if they’ll have enough motive with good effort. The
Chiefs are an attacking defense that will make it hard on Mitchell Trubisky,
while the Bears defense will have their hands full of Patrick Mahomes. This one
appears to be an easy pick and we’ll take it and run.

Concluding the week 16 slate with a dandy on Monday Night
Football, the Packers take travel to Minnesota in a massive showdown. With
everything on the line in the NFC North, this game could decide who will be the
division winner. Minnesota will have the greatest issue with star Dalvin Cook
nursing an injured shoulder and may miss this contest. Kirk Cousins will have
to be at his best and find that clutch attribute that has never been part of
his game.
When speaking of the Packers, we truly have an issue evaluating
them as they appear to still be an enigma of sorts. Being more balanced than
we’ve ever seen in the Aaron Rodgers tenure, we haven’t seen the pass game
explode as in past seasons. Rodgers should have his A-game ready for this one
to prove to the league they are indeed a league leader and contender. This one
will be very close and we question Vegas’ though on this one.
