NFL parlay Week 16 – Syndication Server

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

After a decent Thursday night game and a couple of Saturday contests, there isn’t a full slate Sunday in Week 16 of the NFL season. It’s similar to bye weeks in the past, but there are some very intriguing games.

Our parlay went 2-0 on the Sunday portion of the schedule in Week 15. The Cincinnati Bengals (-6) picked up a high-scoring road win and cover at the Tennessee Titans, 37-27. It looks like a narrow cover, but the Bengals were up 16 with 1:09 left in regulation before a Titans TD with zeroes on the clock.

The second leg of last week’s parlay had the Denver Broncos (-4.5) picking up an easier cover with a 31-13 home win against the Indianapolis Colts. It was an unforced error by the Colts that seemed to turn the tide. With Indy ahead 13-7 lead early in the third quarter, Colts RB Jonathan Taylor appeared to score a 41-yard rushing touchdown that would have crushed our Broncos (-4.5) play. However, Taylor dropped the ball at the 1-yard line before crossing the goal. After that miscue, it was all Denver.

In the Monday nighter, we put trust in the Chicago Bears (+7) and rookie QB Caleb Williams. That was a huge miscalculation as Chicago was pounded 30-12 in Minneapolis. The Bears lost to the Minnesota Vikings 30-27 in overtime in their first head-to-head meeting of the season, but this one was never close.

As we head into Week 16, let’s get back on track and build that bankroll for the upcoming holidays.

WEEK 16

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of NFL odds. Lines last updated Saturday at 11:38 p.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET.

Leg 1: EAGELS -3.5 (-110) at Commanders – 1 p.m. (FOX)

The Philadelphia Eagles (12-2) visit the Washington Commanders (9-5) in an early-window game near the nation’s capital in Week 16.

While the Eagles have clinched a playoff berth, they’re jockeying for home-field advantage and that bonus first-round bye in the NFC playoffs. The Detroit Lions and Vikings are also 12-2, so the Eagles need to keep their foot on the gas.

Philly can also lock up the NFC East Division title with the victory Sunday. The Eagles took care of the Commanders 26-18 as 4.5-point favorites in the Week 11 Thursday Night Football game. It was a rare Philadelphia cover in this series, as it is just 2-5-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 9 meetings since Sept. 13, 2020. So, there is some risk here.

The Eagles have been passing test after test against playoff-bound teams lately. They beat the Commanders in Week 11, won at the LA Rams 37-20 in Week 12, edged the Baltimore Ravens on the road, 24-19 in Week 13 and roughed up the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-13 last week in Philly. The only team the Eagles had trouble with in their last 6 games came against the already-eliminated Carolina Panthers in Week 14 with a narrow 22-16 home win.

The Eagles seem to play to the level of the competition, so feel good about laying the points in this road contest.

Leg 2: RAMS -3 (-110) at Jets – 1 p.m. (CBS)

The LA Rams (8-6) visit the New York Jets (4-10) in a another cross-country battle.

After going 0-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in the first two trips east of the Mississippi River — losses at the Lions and Bears — the Rams have won the past two trips.

In Week 11, the Rams went to chilly Foxborough and won 28-22 as 4-point favorites at the New England Patriots. Two weeks later, the Rams won 21-14 as 2.5-point favorites at the New Orleans Saints.

The Jets showed a little spunk at the Jacksonville Jaguars last week in a 32-25 win as 3-point favorites, covering their second game in a row — both on the road. However, at home, Gang Green has lost the past 2 games — to the Seattle Seahawks (26-21 in Week 13) and Colts (28-27 in Week 11), 2 teams with playoff aspirations.

The Rams are a good football team with 2 dangerous receivers and a top-tier running back. The Jets are a team with a still dangerous offense, but also a team which is just playing out the string. New York is just 3-8 ATS in the past 11 games.

Feel confident backing the Rams on the road.

Leg 3: CARDINALS -5 (-110) at Panthers – 1 p.m. (FOX)

The Arizona Cardinals (7-7) meet the Carolina Panthers (3-11) at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.

The Cardinals are still very much in the mix in the NFC West Division despite a .500 record. Arizona topped the visiting Patriots 30-17 last week to cover as a 6-point favorite. The Cards are 6-2 ATS in the past 8 outings.

The Panthers have been a thorn in the side of teams lately, going 5-1 ATS in their past 6 contests. However, Carolina withered 30-14 as a 2.5-point home favorite against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15.

Arizona has a dual-threat QB in Kyler Murray, a strong run game with RB James Conner and a solid TE in Trey McBride, who is still looking for his first receiving score of the season. The Cardinals offense is primed and ready for a huge week against a Panthers defense which struggles in areas Arizona is strongest.
