First look: LA Rams at New York Jets odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s Los Angeles Rams at New York Jets Week 16 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Los Angeles Rams (8-6) and New York Jets (4-10) will square off at MetLife Stadium Sunday afternoon in what could be a chilly game in East Rutherford. Kickoff in this Week 16 matchup is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at Rams vs. Jets odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

The Rams are one of the hottest teams in the league, having won 3 games in a row and 7 of their last 9 after starting the season 1-4. They’re coming off a Week 14 Thursday night 12-6 win as 2.5-point road underdogs at the San Francisco 49ers — with the Under (48.5) easily cashing. There were no touchdowns scored in the game, which happened less than a week after the Rams and Bills combined for 12 TDs in a 44-42 LA home win in Week 14.

The Jets also won in Week 15, beating the Jacksonville Jaguars 32-25 as 3-point road favorites with the Over (41) hitting. New York finished with 400 total yards — it was the second week in a row that the Jets totaled 400 or more yards and just the third time all season. New York is out of playoff contention but QB Aaron Rodgers will try to play spoiler the rest of the way.

First look: Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Cleveland Browns (3-11) and the Cincinnati Bengals (6-8) meet Sunday for a Week 16 battle at Paycor Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Browns vs. Bengals odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

The Browns were topped 21-7 by the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15, failing to cover as 4.5-point home underdogs with the Under (41.5) connecting. Coach Kevin Stefanski benched QB Jameis Winston in the fourth quarter after a third interception, turning to QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who also threw a pick.

In addition to the loss, RB Nick Chubb suffered a broken foot, ending his season with 3 games to go. RB Jerome Ford will likely get the starting nod going forward.

As for the Bengals, they posted a 37-27 road win at the Tennessee Titans Sunday to cover as 6-point favorites and the Over (46) easily cashed. QB Joe Burrow threw for 271 yards with 3 TDs and 2 INTs, while he broke his own franchise record with his 36th TD pass of the season — he threw 35 in the 2022-23.

Cincy has won and covered 2 in a row, both on the road. The Bengals are 6-3 against the spread (ATS) in the past 9 games, while the Over is 6-1 in the past 7 outings.

First look: Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens odds and lines

Looking at Saturday’s Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Pittsburgh Steelers (10-4) and the Baltimore Ravens (9-5) meet Saturday for a Week 16 battle at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Steelers vs. Ravens odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

The Steelers suffered a 27-13 road loss against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15, failing to cover as 5.5-point underdogs as the Under (43) cashed. Pittsburgh hasn’t won in Philadelphia since 1965.

Despite the loss, Pittsburgh was able to clinch a playoff berth. Pittsburgh not only lost to the Eagles, but it was costly since LB T.J. Watt rolled his ankle, although X-rays were negative.

The Ravens spanked the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium Sunday, winning 35-14 to cover as 17-point favorites, the largest line in the NFL this season. The Over (43.5) also cashed as QB Lamar Jackson threw 5 TDs.

Despite the win, Baltimore is still just 2-2 straight up (SU) in the previous 4 outings, and 2-3 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 games.

Pittsburgh leads Baltimore in the AFC North by 1 game and would clinch the division with a win Saturday.

The New England Patriots (3-11) will visit the Buffalo Bills (11-3) Sunday for a Week 16 AFC East showdown. Opening kickoff at Highmark Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS).

Patriots vs. Bills head-to-head

New England leads the all-time series 78-50-1. The series began in 1960 and includes a 1-1 split in playoff games.

Buffalo took the most recent meeting 27-21 in Week 17 of last season, but didn’t cover as a 14.5-point home favorite. The Bills have won 5 of the last 6 games with the loss a 29-25 stunner as 8.5-point road favorites in Week 7 last year.

The Patriots are 38-26-1 across 65 series meetings held in Buffalo.

As mentioned, New England covered the spread in both games last season, following a Buffalo 4-0 ATS run. The last 10 meetings have netted a 5-5 split ATS.

The Over has cashed in 3 straight New England-Buffalo games and is 7-2-1 across the last 10 meetings.

The last 3 matchups at Highmark Stadium have resulted in the Bills covering twice and the Over hitting each time.

First look: Denver Broncos at LA Chargers odds and lines

Looking at Thursday’s Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Chargers Week 16 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Denver Broncos (9-5) visit the LA Chargers (8-6), bringing the AFC playoff race to Thursday Night Football in Week 16. Kickoff from SoFi Stadium is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Below, we look at Broncos vs. Chargers odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

Los Angeles won at Denver 23-16 in Week 6 in their first meeting of the 2024-25 season. The Chargers covered as 3-point favorites and the Over (37) came in. Chapter 2 sees both clubs with seasoned coaches jostling for positioning in the NFL playoffs: The Broncos sit sixth and the Bolts occupy the seventh and final seed in the AFC playoffs. Neither can win the division after the Kansas City Chiefs clinched the AFC West.

Coach Sean Payton’s Broncos ride a 4-game win streak into TNF, most recently stampeding past the Indianapolis Colts 31-13 Sunday in Week 15. Denver covered as a 4.5-point home favorite and the Over (43.5) cashed. The Broncos recorded 5 takeaways, and rookie QB Bo Nix’s 3 TD passes helped lead the home team on a 24-point unanswered run to close it out.

Meanwhile, coach Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers suffered a demoralizing 40-17 loss Sunday as 3-point home favorites to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — the Over (46) hit. This game saw its own wild second-half run, this time by the Bucs rattling off 27 consecutive points to run away with the victory.

The early look at these Chargers vs. Broncos lines paints a picture that might be an underestimation of how many points will be scored — and whether the correct team is favored in this game. Check back later this week for the Thursday Night game preview for this Week 16 matchup.

Broncos vs. Chargers head-to-head

The Broncos lead the all-time series 73-56-1, including 1-0 in the postseason. Since the start of the 2019-20 season, Denver owns a 7-4 advantage.

As noted above, Harbaugh toppled Denver in his first meeting at the Chargers helm.

In 2023, the Payton-led Broncos swept the series during what would be Brandon Staley’s final season in LA.

The Chargers have kept their elite personnel and added a better coach. Denver supplemented Payton with an uneven but talented QB in Nix.

Ergo, plenty has changed even since last season’s pair of games, so tread carefully when using data from 2023.

The San Francisco 49ers (6-8) and Miami Dolphins (6-8) tussle in a Week 16 battle Sunday. The opening kickoff at Hard Rock Stadium will be at 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at 49ers vs. Dolphins odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

San Francisco heads into this contest off a Week 15 Thursday home loss to the LA Rams. The 49ers, who were 2.5-point favorites, went 3-for-12 on third downs and were held to just 191 yards in losing for the fourth time in their last 5 games.

The Dolphins lost 20-12 as 2.5-point underdogs at the Houston Texans Sunday. Miami outgained Houston 224 yards to 181 but was undone by a trio of QB Tua Tagovailoa interceptions. Miami should be happy to get back home where it has won three in a row.

49ers vs. Dolphins head-to-head

San Francisco and Miami are meeting for the 16th time, including one postseason contest — a 38-16 San Francisco win in Super Bowl XIX in 1985. The Dolphins lead the series, which dates back to 1973, 8-7.

The last ‘Niners-‘Phins meeting was in Week 13 of the 2022-23 season. San Francisco covered as a 3.5-point home favorite in that game, winning 33-17. Only 2 meetings have been held in South Florida since 2000 with the host Dolphins triumphing in both — 31-24 in 2016 and 14-9 in 2008. (The 49ers lead 3-2 in the 5 games played in San Francisco since 2000.)

The 49ers are 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 games (since 1986). As for totals, the Over has cashed in 4 straight and is 6-4 across the last 10.

Miami is 0-3-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings at home.

Atlanta Falcons at Las Vegas Raiders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Atlanta Falcons at Las Vegas Raiders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Atlanta Falcons (6-7) meet the Las Vegas Raiders (2-11) Monday at Allegiant Stadium in Week 15. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Falcons vs. Raiders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Falcons were trounced 42-21 as 6-point underdogs at Minnesota in Week 14, dropping a fourth consecutive game. Atlanta is 0-4 against the spread (ATS) in that skid, while a 4-game Under streak was snapped with the Over (46.5) hitting in the Vikings game.

Against the AFC, the Falcons are 0-4 straight up (SU) and ATS. The Under is also 4-0 in those 4 games with Atlanta averaging 11.5 points per game (PPG) and allowing 23.8 PPG.

The Raiders are in a 9-game nosedive and 1-4 ATS in the past 5 outings. They lost 28-13 as 7-point underdogs at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14. The Under has cashed in the past 2 games, while the offense hasn’t scored more than 19 points in the last 4 outings and hasn’t scored more than 20 in 9 of the past 10.

Las Vegas is 0-3 SU and 1-2 ATS in 3 tries against NFC foes this season, while the Under has cashed in 2 of those 3 outings.

The news got worse for the Raiders Saturday, as it was announced star DE Maxx Crosby will miss the rest of the season following surgery for an ankle injury.

QB Aidan O’Connell is questionable for Monday’s game with a bone bruise involving his knee, and he didn’t practice all week. If he sits, QB Desmond Ridder, a third-round pick of the Falcons in 2022, could get his first Raiders start against his former team.

Falcons at Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Raiders 23, Falcons 18

Moneyline

The RAIDERS (+195) are the better value in this Monday night game as a Las Vegas win outright nearly pays 2-to-1.

The Falcons (-250) have been a disaster against AFC teams this season, and they’ve lost their last 4 overall. QB Kirk Cousins has been mistake-prone. He has 0 TDs and 8 INTs in the past 4 outings, leading some to call for rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. to start the final 4 games of the season.

Against the spread

The Raiders +5.5 (-110) aren’t a bad play if you’d rather take the points and not bet the moneyline, needing for Las Vegas to win outright.

Ridder comes in with the revenge factor, and he has a huge target in rookie TE Brock Bowers, one of the best tight ends in the NFL already. He should be a nice safety valve and security blanket on short to intermediate routes.

As mentioned, the Falcons are 0-4 ATS against AFC teams. That winless mark doesn’t appear likely to change Monday.

Whichever way you decide to go — betting the moneyline or spread — don’t wager more than 1½ UNITS betwen the 2 options.

Over/Under

UNDER 44.5 (-110) is the way to go.

The Under has hit in all 4 games for Atlanta against AFC foes this season, while going 4-1 in the past 5 outings.

The Las Vegas offense isn’t going to put up huge numbers on this Atlanta defense like Minnesota did last week. The Raiders have cashed low in the past 2 games, and the Under is 2-1 in their 3 tries against NFC teams this season.

Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Chicago Bears (4-9) meet the Minnesota Vikings (11-2) for Monday Night Football at U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 15. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Bears vs. Vikings odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bears lost 38-13 last Sunday at the San Francicso 49ers as a 3-point underdog as the Over (43.5) cashed. It was the first game under interim head coach Thomas Brown after Matt Eberflus was relieved of his duties after a Thanksgiving Day disaster in Detroit.

Chicago has lost 7 games in a row, although it is 2-1-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 outings, including a 30-27 overtime loss at home to the Vikings in the first meeting in Week 12 as the Over (39.5) cashed. The line pushed at most shops with the Bears as a 3-point underdog.

Minnesota doubled up the Atlanta Falcons 42-21 last week in a battle with old friend QB Kirk Cousins, covering as a 6-point favorite as the Over (46.5) cashed. Minnesota has won 6 in a row, but it is just 3-4-1 ATS in the past 8 games, while failing to cover in its only previous game as a favorite of 7 or more points. The Under is on a 4-2 run in the past 6 games, too.

Bears at Vikings picks and predictions

Prediction

Vikings 26, Bears 20

Moneyline

The Vikings (-350) will cost you 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too expensive, even at home in a prime-time game against an inferior opponent.

The Bears (+260) are banged up, and it’s a bit concerning that Swift carries a questionable tag into Monday’s game.

PASS.

Against the spread

The BEARS +7 (-110) are the play catching the points, and this would be even nicer if we could get 7 and a hook.

While it is concerning that Swift carries a questionable tag, if he were to sit, we might see rookie QB Caleb Williams and the pass offense go to a mostly aerial-based attack. That’s not an entirely bad thing, as the Vikings -7 (-110) rank 29th in NFL against the pass, allowing 250.6 yards per game through the air.

Over/Under

OVER 43.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

Again, we might see Chicago go to the air early and often, and that’s great news for Over bettors. And, when these teams met in Chitown in Week 12, we had a combined 57 points, halting a 3-0 Under run in the series.

The Bears have cashed high in 2 of the past 3 games, including the most recent road game last Sunday in San Francisco.

For the Vikings, the Over has hit in 2 of the past 3 games, while going 3-0 inside the division so far this season.

Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Dallas Cowboys (5-8) meet the Carolina Panthers (3-10) for a Week 15 matchup Sunday at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Cowboys vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Cowboys were tripped up 27-20 against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football last week. Dallas was tied 20-20, with a chance to get the ball back. However, on a blocked punt, a returner misplayed the ball, touching it, and giving the Bengals the ball back. QB Joe Burrow connected with WR Ja’Marr Chase to make them pay with 61 seconds left in regulation for the winning score.

The Panthers lost 22-16 at Philadelphia last week, but they gave the Eagles all they could handle. It was their fifth consecutive game decided by a single score, with 2 victories in the span. Carolina has covered each of the past 5 games, too. The Over is on a 4-2 run in the past 6 games.

Cowboys at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 26, Panthers 22

Moneyline

The COWBOYS (+125) are an underdog, which is a bit shocking. Yes, they have some injuries on the defensive side of the ball, and they’re coming off a very disappointing loss to Cincinnati.

However, Dallas also has explosive WR CeeDee Lamb and RB Rico Dowdle, who is coming off back-to-back 100-yard games, including a career-high 131 yards against the Bengals. Dowdle also played his college ball at nearby South Carolina, and he is an Asheville, N.C., native. He should have an extra gear in his first start back in his home state against a Carolina rush defense which is the worst in the NFL, allowing 170.1 yards per game.

Against the spread

PASS.

Cowboys +3 (-115) doesn’t make sense if you like Dallas, unless you’re convinced the Panthers -3 (-105) are going to win, but only by 1 or 2 points.

If you like Dallas, just bet it straight up.

Over/Under

OVER 42.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

While the Under cashed on MNF against the Bengals, the total has gone high in 3 of the past 4 games for the Cowboys. The Over is 2-1 in the past 3 games on the road, too.

For the Panthers, they’ve cashed high in 2 of the past 3, and 8 of the previous 11 outings. The offense has been much better lately, going for 20 or more points in 4 of the past 5 outings, while allowing 22 or more points in all but one game this season.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Kansas City Chiefs (12-1) meet the Cleveland Browns (3-10) for a Week 15 matchup Sunday at Huntington Bank Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Chiefs vs. Browns odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Kansas City has cashed the Under in back-to-back games, while going 7-4 in the past 11 outings.

The Browns lost 27-14 loss to the Steelers in Pittsburgh last Sunday as a 6.5-point underdog. Cleveland is just 1-4 SU/ATS in the past 5 games. The Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 outings, although the total went low last time out Sunday against the Steelers.

Chiefs at Browns picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 25, Browns 19

Moneyline

The Chiefs (-225) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk.

Kansas City just locked up the AFC West Division last week, so might there be a bit of a hangover this week? Might the hunger not be there? The Chiefs are still vying for the No. 1 overall seed, so that talk might be a bit overrated.

PASS.

Against the spread

It’s tough to back the CHIEFS -4 (-110), as they’re 0-7 ATS in the previous 7 outings. Kansas City is on the road, and playing a Browns +4 (-110) team which has sprung a couple of upsets at Huntington Bank Field against the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The fact Njoku carries a questionable tag for Cleveland is what makes the Browns so risky. He has been a security blanket for QB Jameis Winston, who will already be without emerging WR Cedric Tillman. The Chiefs have the talent to make up for certain losses, but the Browns do not.

Over/Under

OVER 41.5 (-115) is worth a look, but don’t get carried away.

The Over is 3-1 in the past 4 games, with the Browns offense going for 23.3 PPG in the past 3 games, while allowing 24 or more points in 5 of the past 6 outings.

The Over has cashed in 3 in a row on the road for the Chiefs, averaging 26.5 PPG in the past 4 away games. The Chiefs have allowed 28.5 PPG in the past 2 road outings, too.
