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.

Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[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.

Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Indianapolis Colts (6-8) welcome the Tennessee Titans (3-11) to Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday for NFL Week 16 action. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Colts vs. Titans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Colts lost to the Denver Broncos 31-13 Sunday, closing as a 4.5-point road underdog. Indianapolis has traded off winning and losing over its last 5 games yet is 1-4 against the spread (ATS) in those. The Colts are 8-6 ATS on the season. They have struggled immensely on defense, allowing 24 or more in 5 straight.

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. They are just 2-12 ATS on the season with both of those covers coming on the road. Tennessee has largely had issues on offense, scoring 19 or fewer in 4 of its 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).

New York Giants at Atlanta Falcons odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Giants at Atlanta Falcons odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New York Giants (2-12) and Atlanta Falcons (7-7) meet Sunday. Kickoff from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Giants vs. Falcons odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Giants lost their 9th straight game, falling 35-14 to the Baltimore Ravens. They failed to cover as 17-point home underdogs, with the Over 43.5 hitting. New York struggled offensively, rushing for just 55 yards. The only positive was rookie WR Malik Nabers, who caught 10 passes for 82 yards and a touchdown.

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. Cousins was benched, and rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. will make his first NFL start.

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).

Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Houston Texans (9-5) visit the Kansas City Chiefs (13-1) on Saturday afternoon in Week 16. Kickoff from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET (NBC/Peacock). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Texans vs. Chiefs odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Houston beat the Miami Dolphins 20-12 Sunday while covering as a 2.5-point favorite. Houston’s offense struggled, gaining just 181 yards and 12 first downs, but Houston’s defense forced 4 turnovers that proved pivotal in the win. CB Derek Stingley Jr. had 2 interceptions and held star WR Tyreek Hill to just 2 receptions for 36 yards.

Kansas City picked up a 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns Sunday while covering as a 4.5-point favorite. The Chiefs’ defense was dominant against Cleveland, forcing 6 turnovers while also holding the Browns to just 266 total yards and just 4-of-12 on third down.

QB Patrick Mahomes went down with an ankle injury against the Browns, but is expected to start this contest. How long he plays is uncertain.

Texans at Chiefs picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 21, Texans 19

Moneyline

PASS.

Kansas City (-200) is the better team and is also much hotter, being 9-1 in its last 10 games and having won 4 straight while Houston is only 6-4 in its last 10 outings. The Chiefs have also beaten Houston in each of their last 3 meetings. But you can’t risk this much, especially because the health of Mahomes is still in question.

Against the spread

BET TEXANS +3.5 (-110).

Houston is 3-1-1 ATS in its last 5 games and 6-3-1 ATS in its last 10 while KC is just 3-7 against the spread in its last 10 games.

The Chiefs have also allowed lesser opponents to keep games very competitive. Recently the Las Vegas Raiders and Carolina Panthers kept games within 3 points.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 42 (-110).

The Under has hit in each of KC’s last 3 games and is 8-6 for the Chiefs this season. For Houston, the Under has hit in back-to-back games and is 9-4-1 this year.

Kansas City and Houston both have very good defenses that allow under 310 opponent yards per game and under 22 opponent points per game, with the Chiefs allowing just 18.5 ppg to opponents.

Be aware that the Over is 4-0-1 in the last 5 matchups between these squads.

Denver Broncos at LA Chargers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Denver Broncos at LA Chargers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Denver Broncos (9-5) visit the LA Chargers (8-6) during the Week 16 edition of Thursday Night Football. Kickoff from SoFi Stadium is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Broncos vs. Chargers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Denver sits sixth in the AFC playoff picture, while the Chargers occupy the seventh and final spot. This crucial showdown could all but punch a postseason ticket for the winner.

The Chargers would hold the tiebreaker over Denver if they win this one; they defeated the Broncos 23-16 in Week 6, holding off a 16-points-unanswered comeback while riding RB J.K. Dobbins‘ 102-yard day from scrimmage that also included a TD.

The Bolts have lost 3 of their last 4 games, though, including a demoralizing 40-17 loss in Week 15 on Sunday to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Denver heads into this weekend with a much better feeling, having won its last 4 games, a streak punctuated by a 31-13 steamrolling of the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw 3 INTs, but also accounted for 3 TD passes, including a fourth-quarter pair that helped seal the victory.

We’ve seen a bit of money movement toward Denver since our First Look on Monday, so let’s see where the Broncos-Chargers lines stand now.

Broncos at Chargers picks and predictions

Prediction

Chargers 23, Broncos 21

Moneyline

This game is basically a coin flip; the spread nails the uncertainty.

There’s value in going against the prediction grain and taking the plus-money with the Broncos, but bettors should prefer taking the points.

PASS.

Against the spread

Both teams have dominated along the line this year (DEN 11-3, LAC 9-5), making this a tough call.

The Broncos +3 we got earlier in the week is now inefficiently taxed, leaving Broncos backers with a less helpful hook to +2.5. Still, that’s probably enough to click this pick, given how Denver remains undervalued in this betting lot.

BET DENVER +2.5 (-105) but look for better alt lines closer to kickoff.

Over/Under

Back the Over as the strongest recommendation of the typical betting categories for this game.

The Chargers should be able to put up enough points by avoiding CB Patrick Surtain Jr. with the likes of WRs Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston lining up all over the field.

Nix and the Broncos’ offensive upside continue to be undervalued, especially resurgent WR Courtland Sutton.

BET OVER 42 (-110).

First look: Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Detroit Lions (12-2) visit the NFC North rival Chicago Bears (4-10) Sunday in Week 16. Kickoff from Soldier Field is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Lions vs. Bears odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

Detroit suffered just its second loss of the season Sunday, falling 48-42 as a 2.5-point home favorite in a potential Super Bowl preview against the Buffalo Bills. Lions QB Jared Goff did not slouch in his duel with possible NFL MVP Josh Allen, piling up 5 TD tosses on an absurd 494 passing yards — Allen had 2 TD passes and 362 passing yards for the Bills.

However, Lions defensive injuries continue to pile up and force the offense to furiously keep pace with top teams — which, in turn, might grow more difficult now that Detroit has also lost RB David Montgomery (knee) for the remainder of the season.

The Bears, meanwhile, suffered their eighth straight loss on Monday Night Football, wilting as 7-point underdogs during a 30-12 loss at the Minnesota Vikings.

The Week 16 matchup will mark the second meeting this season for the Bears and Lions. In the first clash, the Lions hung on to win 23-20 on Thanksgiving Day after a comical game-closing, clock-management sequence by the Bears that eventually led to coach Matt Eberflus’ firing. Chicago did cover as a 10-point road underdog as the Under (47.5) cashed, however.

Given Detroit’s struggles on defense, Chicago isn’t being written off by most sportsbook markets. However, those odds could easily shift as the week goes on, so bettors who back Detroit should act early to lock in a more favorable price.

Lions vs. Bears head-to-head

The Bears lead the all-time series 105-79-5.

In the coach Dan Campbell era, which traces back to the start of the 2021 season, the Lions are 4-3 against the Bears, including this Thanksgiving’s survival win. Detroit is 3-4 ATS in that window.

Despite a 1-2 straight-up showing, oddly enough, Chicago has covered the spread in each of the past 3 meetings, punctuated by QB Caleb Williams‘ first Bears start in this rivalry. The Bears have bucked pessimism along the spread for much of the season, too.
