Kickoff from Mercedes-Benz Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET and will be televised on FOX. As of Saturday at 9:06 p.m. ET, BetMGM Sportsbook has the O/U line at 43 (Over: -110 | Under: -110).

Rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. will make his first start for the Falcons, who are 5-9 O/U on the season. The Giants, who will have QB Drew Lock under center, are also 5-9 O/U.

Buccaneers 31, Cowboys 21

Moneyline

The Cowboys have been awful at home this season, going 1-6 and allowing 33.4 points per game.

The Buccaneers have averaged 31.0 points during their current 4-game winning streak.

They should pick up the road win, but you don’t want to bet them on the moneyline at -210.

Look to the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Buccaneers’ average margin of victory over their last 4 games is 16.0 points.

Seven of the Cowboys’ 8 losses have been by 6 or more points. They have not covered the spread in a loss this season.

BET BUCCANEERS -4 (-110).

Over/Under

Only 1 of the Cowboys’ last 7 games has surpassed 48 total points.

Five of the Buccaneers’ 8 wins have had 49 or more total points scored.

BET OVER 48.5 (-110).

49ers at Dolphins picks and predictions

Prediction

Dolphins 24, 49ers 17

Moneyline

The Niners are down to their fourth-string RB in Patrick Taylor Jr., as Guerendo is out and Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason are on injured reserve. They also are without their starting left tackle.

They have scored 10 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games.

The Dolphins have averaged 25.8 points in their last 8 games since QB Tua Tagovailoa returned from injured reserve.

BET DOLPHINS (-105).

Against the spread

Taking the point and having to pay an extra 5 cents on the dollar isn’t worth the safety net of pushing on a 1-point straight-up loss.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Niners have allowed a combined 25 points in their last 2 games despite giving up 24 or more in 6 of the previous 8.

The Dolphins have held opponents to 20 or fewer points in 4 of their last 6 games.

BET UNDER 44.5 (-110).

Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Detroit Lions (12-2) visit the Chicago Bears (4-10) Sunday during NFL Week 16 action. Kickoff from Soldier Field is slated for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Lions vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Detroit saw its 11-game win streak snapped Sunday when the Buffalo Bills won a 48-42 shootout. The Lions still hold the king’s spot in the NFC Playoffs picture, though.

Chicago is on its own ridiculous run, though unfortunately, it’s the other end of the spectrum with an 8-game losing streak. They most recently went into hibernation during a 30-12 loss in Week 15 to the Minnesota Vikings.

The Bears almost upset the Lions in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day but lost 23-20 on inexcusable clock mismanagement that led to the firing of then-coach Matt Eberflus.

All 4 of the Bears’ wins this year came at Soldier Field, but will they prove able to keep it close with their intradivision rivals again?

Early weather prognoses for this game typically call for temperatures below 30 degrees but cloudy, with no precipitation. Stay tuned for any changes and adjust your betting accordingly based on new information.

Lions at Bears picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 34, Bears 17

Moneyline

The price on Lions ML (-350) has gone up 50 cents since Monday in our first look.

The narrative of Lions QB Jared Goff struggling on the road (and more specifically in outdoor stadiums) hasn’t affected the market’s confidence in Detroit to win straight up.

The Lions have become so heavily favored on the ML that bettors should look elsewhere for more optimal value.

PASS.

Against the spread

On the other hand, the lack of movement on the spread works well for Lions bettors. The Bears are a deeply flawed team, and while division games often bring out odd results in favor of underdogs, the Lions are simply better built on both sides of the ball.

Take advantage of the early optimism that the Bears shouldn’t be getting more than 6.5 points, and bet the other side.

All things equal, I would recommend waiting to see if any action moves in Chicago’s direction, then pounce on any Detroit discount. However, if you must act, the TD-with-a-hook points are worth giving to the favorites.

BET LIONS -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Bears QB Caleb Williams doesn’t have to do much to carry Chicago’s likely end of this point total. Though Detroit’s injury-riddled defense looks ripe for the picking, Chicago’s own defense will struggle to keep up with the Lions’ high-octane offense.

With the weather not looking like an issue as of publish time, I would even look to squeeze more value out of this with an alternate line on FanDuel Sportsbook: Over 50.5 (+120).

BET OVER 48 (-110) at BetMGM or BET OVER 50.5 (+120) at FanDuel.

The Las Vegas Raiders (2-12) welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-11) to Allegiant Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Jaguars vs. Raiders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Raiders dropped their 10th straight game in a 15-9 loss as 6-point underdogs to the visiting Atlanta Falcons Monday. Las Vegas is 1-4-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last 6 games and has struggled offensively, scoring 20 or fewer points in 5 straight. The Raiders are 5-8-1 ATS on the season.

The Jaguars lost 32-25 as 3-point home underdogs vs. the New York Jets Dec. 15. They’re 4-2-1 ATS over their last 7 games despite going 1-6 straight up. Jacksonville is 7-6-1 ATS on the season.

Jaguars at Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Raiders 24, Jaguars 20

Moneyline

BET RAIDERS (-130).

The Raiders will be getting starting QB Aidan O’Connell back and at full strength. He should help ignite a struggling offense. Las Vegas’ defense has allowed 19 or fewer points in 2 of its last 3 games, so it has found success on that side of the ball.

The Jaguars are just 1-6 on the road this season and have given up at least 28 points in 4 of the 7 away games. They will be without their starting QB in Lawrence, and scoring may continue to be an issue for them.

Considering the availability, back RAIDERS (-130).

Against the spread

PASS.

While the spread may be enticing, there’s no real edge in laying the 2 points at a slightly cheaper price. The Raiders should come out on top, but the moneyline is the better play to reduce some stress in a potentially close battle.

Over/Under

BET OVER 40.5 (-110).

The Raiders and Jaguars are both 8-6 O/U, and the former has gone Over in 4 of its last 7 games, allowing at least 27 points in 5 of the 7.

Jacksonville is 7-3 O/U in its last 10 games and has been able to score at least 20 points in 2 of its last 3 with former first-round pick QB Mac Jones under center. Expect both defenses to fold, and take OVER 40.5 (-110).

Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Minnesota Vikings (12-2) and Seattle Seahawks (8-6) meet Sunday. Kickoff from Lumen Field is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Vikings vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Minnesota demolished the Chicago Bears 30-12 on Monday Night Football while covering as a 7-point home favorite. The Vikings were able to overcome some sloppiness — they had 10 penalties for 56 yards — thanks to 24 first downs and 329 total yards from their offense, compared to 16 and 284, respectively, for Chicago. The Vikings have won 7 straight games.

Seattle was embarrassed 30-13 by the visiting Green Bay Packers Dec. 15 as a 2.5-point underdog. Seattle’s offense was abysmal in the loss, mustering 208 total yards and only 14 first downs while committing 2 turnovers. Part of its offensive struggles could be attributed to losing QB Geno Smith (leg) after he took a low hit in the third quarter — he plans to play Sunday, though.

Vikings at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahakws 21, Vikings 17

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Seahawks (+130) to pick up the win here, as they are still fighting to make the postseason, while the Vikings have already clinched a playoff berth.

The Seahawks are also 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between these teams, but I recommend passing here because a Seattle cover is more likely than a straight-up (SU) win.

If you are okay with doubling down, then you can place a wager on both the ML and the spread.

Against the spread

BET SEAHAWKS +3 (-110).

Seattle has covered the spread in 4 of its last 5 games overall. The Seahawks are also 5-3 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

The Seahawks have played well against the Vikings lately, winning 7 of the last 8 meetings, so backing them to cover here — even though they’re underdogs — is worth the slight risk.

Be aware that the Vikings have been the better team both SU and ATS this season, so this bet does come with some risk.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 42.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in 2 of Minnesota’s last 3 games and is 9-5 for the Vikings this season. For Seattle, the Under is 6-2 in its last 8 games.

The Under has also hit in back-to-back meetings and is 4-1 in the last 5.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Philadelphia Eagles (12-2) and Washington Commanders (9-5) meet Sunday. Kickoff from Northwest Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Eagles vs. Commanders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Eagles earned their franchise-record 10th straight win, beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-13 as 5.5-point home favorites Dec. 15 while the Under (43) hit. Philadelphia’s defense dominated, holding Pittsburgh to just 163 total yards (107 passing, 56 rushing). QB Jalen Hurts was 25-of-32 passing for 290 yards with 2 TDs and rushed for another while WR A.J. Brown had 8 catches for 110 yards and a score.

Washington notched its second straight win, edging the New Orleans Saints 20-19 in Week 15. The Commanders didn’t cover as 7.5-point road favorites, and the Under (44) hit. Rookie QB Jayden Daniels continued to impress, completing 25 of 31 passes for 226 yards with 2 TDs while leading the team in rushing with 66 yards on the ground.

Eagles at Commanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 31, Commanders 24

Moneyline

PASS.

The Eagles (-190) will win their 11th straight game Sunday and will take it by a touchdown or more. I’ll take my wager to the spread.

Against the spread

BET EAGLES -3.5 (-110).

Philadelphia is on a roll, winning 10 straight games and covering the spread in 5 of their last 6. On the flip side, Washington has failed to cover 4 of its last 5.

The Nov. 14 meeting — a 26-18 Philadelphia win as a 4.5-point home favorite — started close, but the Eagles took over in the second half. Philadelphia’s defense is built to slow down a mobile QB like Daniels, while Washington’s defense hasn’t had any answers for RB Saquon Barkley.

Barkley has owned this matchup, averaging 5.5 yards per carry and over 100 total yards per game (YPG) against Washington. The Eagles lead the league in rushing, piling up 186.2 YPG, and Washington’s 25th-ranked run defense allows 132.1 YPG.

With the NFC East on the line, Philly looks set to handle business again Sunday.

Over/Under

BET OVER 45.5 (-110).

The Over has cashed in 3 of the last 4 meetings between these teams and in 4 of Washington’s last 6 games overall.

Both offenses rank in the top 8 for scoring, with the Commanders averaging 28.3 points per game (6th) and the Eagles at 26.4 (8th). The Nov. 14 meeting saw a quiet 10-point first half before the teams erupted for 34 in the second.

This game has all the makings of another high-scoring shootout.

The Colts lost to the Denver Broncos 31-13 Sunday, closing as a 4.5-point road underdog.

Tennessee lost at home to the Cincinnati Bengals 37-27 Sunday, closing as a 6-point underdog. The Titans have dropped 3 straight games and 5 of their last 6.

Titans at Colts picks and predictions

Prediction

Colts 27, Titans 17

Moneyline

PASS.

The Titans have not impressed as of late and have dropped 3 straight games, 2 of which were at home. Tennessee isn’t fighting for a playoff spot like Indianapolis either. Expect the Colts to win but avoid playing them at this value.

Against the spread

BET COLTS -3.5 (-110).

The Titans have been a mess this season and have been inconsistent for bettors. They are 1-9 ATS over their last 10 games and have allowed at least 37 in 2 of their last 3, suggesting the Colts could ignite on the Titans.

Tennessee also has both Pollard and Levis nursing injuries which isn’t ideal for its already-struggling offense. The Colts are 4-2 ATS at home this season and have scored at least 25 points in 2 of their last 4 games.

Bet COLTS -3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 42.5 (-110).

The Colts have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games and have allowed at least 24 in all 5. They have scored 20 or more in 4 of 6 home games on the season as well.

The Titans are 3-1 O/U in their last 4 games and have gone Over in 6 of 7 on the road. Their defense has been to blame, and there’s no reason to think they’ll effectively stop Indianapolis’ offense Sunday.

Take OVER 42.5 (-110).

The Falcons snapped a 4-game losing streak with a 15-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. They pushed on the 6-point spread, and the Under 44.5 hit. QB Kirk Cousins broke his 4-game touchdown drought, throwing a TD to WR Drake London, who finished with 53 yards. RB Bijan Robinson topped 100 rushing yards for the third time in the last 5 games.

Giants at Falcons picks and predictions

Prediction

Falcons 27, Giants 10

Moneyline

PASS.

The Falcons (-450) will take care of business at home in Week 16, but instead of betting 4.5 units to win 1, I’ll take my wager to the spread.

Against the spread

BET FALCONS -8.5 (-110).

While backing a rookie to cover an 8.5-point spread may seem risky, it’s hard to overlook how badly the Giants are struggling.

New York has no clear direction, seemingly focused on securing a Top 3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Giants have failed to cover the spread in 8 of their last 9 games and are essentially playing out the season.

On the other hand, the Falcons are still in the hunt for the NFC South title or a Wild Card playoff spot. After playing 4 of their last 5 games on the road, Atlanta will be glad to return home. This game should provide a great opportunity for Penix to shine in front of the home crowd against a much weaker opponent.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 43 (-110).

The Giants have struggled offensively, scoring 20 or fewer points in their last 5 games and going Under in 3 of those. They’re the lowest-scoring team in the league at 14.9 PPG.

The Falcons have also been inconsistent, scoring 21 or fewer points in their last 5 games, which led to Penix getting the start. Atlanta has hit the Under in 5 of their last 6 games and averages 20.9 PPG.

With both teams lacking offensive firepower, expect a low-scoring game. The last 6 matchups between these teams have gone Under.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Pittsburgh Steelers (10-4) visit the Baltimore Ravens (9-5) for a Week 16 Saturday afternoon tilt in Charm City. Kickoff from M&T Bank Stadium is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Steelers vs. Ravens odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Steelers dropped their Week 15 matchup against the Eagles, 27-13, failing to cover as 5.5-point road underdogs. The Under 43 hit as Pittsburgh’s offense sputtered, totaling just 163 yards while allowing Philadelphia to rack up 401. RB Najee Harris had a rough outing, posting a season-low 14 rushing yards.

The Ravens rebounded from a Week 14 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles with a dominant 35-14 victory over the New York Giants in Week 15. They covered as 17-point road favorites, with the Over 43.5 hitting. QB Lamar Jackson bolstered his MVP case, tying a career-high with 5 touchdown passes, including 2 to WR Rashod Bateman, who finished with 80 receiving yards.

Steelers at Ravens picks and predictions

Prediction

Ravens 24, Steelers 13

Moneyline

The Steelers have taken 8 of the last 9 matchups, but every single one was decided by 7 points or less. This time, I think it’ll break the mold, so I’m rolling with the spread and I’ll PASS on the moneyline.

Against the spread

It’s always a gritty matchup when these teams meet, but this one has a fresh twist: Lamar Jackson will play the Steelers in front of a packed house in Baltimore for the first time.

In 2018, he was Joe Flacco’s backup. In 2019 and 2023, he was rested. COVID kept fans away in 2020, and injuries sidelined him in 2021 and 2022. Now, he finally gets his shot.

The Ravens have won 3 of their last 4 at home, with their only loss coming to the Eagles, who just beat the Steelers. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh’s offense has been stuck in neutral without Pickens. Without their deep-ball threat, they’ve managed just 163 total yards in Week 15 and 158 passing yards in Week 14.

On top of that, LB T.J. Watt is dealing with an ankle injury from last week. He’s playing but won’t be at full strength, which takes a big piece out of Pittsburgh’s defense.

With Jackson ready to shine and the Steelers struggling, the Ravens are in a great spot to handle business and grab a much-needed divisional win.

BET RAVENS -6.5 (-115)

Over/Under

It’s tough to back the Over here. The Under has hit in 8 straight matchups, including an 18-16 game Nov. 17. Over their last 9 meetings, neither team has topped 20 points, which is wild. With that trend in mind, I’ll stick with the UNDER 44.5 (-105).
