Christmas NFL
15 in the NFL was another unpredictable roller-coaster with a full slate of games. Much like all the playoff contending teams, the last few weeks in the final month of the season are about surviving and advancing to better picks.
There are some tougher marquee matchups between good teams. There are some tossup tilts between bad teams. There are huge spreads for favorites and then essential pick ’ems.
Week 16 Christmas Picks:
Patriots vs Broncos
Our Picks: Broncos ML @5/18
Will this be the last Bill Belichick vs. Sean Payton matchup? Denver has won its last four home games – and despite a blowout loss last week – remains in the AFC playoff hunt. The Patriots are reduced to a spoiler role here. New England is 2-4 S/U and averages 16 points per game on the road.
Chiefs vs Raiders
Our Picks: Over 40.5 @10/11
The Chiefs have won the last six meetings with the Raiders by an average of 17.2 points per game. If Antonio Pierce wants to be the full-time coach for Las Vegas, then breaking that streak could be a tipping point. Kansas City breaks a two-game losing streak, but the Raiders keep it interesting if Aidan O’Connell can avoid turnovers.
Eagles vs Giants
Our Pick: Eagles -13.5 @10/11
The Tommy DeVito phenomenon will either hit its expiration date or take off exponentially in the next three weeks with two matchups against the Eagles. Philadelphia beat NFC East rivals Dallas and Washington by a combined total of eight points. If the Giants cannot generate a running game behind DeVito, then this will be much worse.
Week 16 Finale – MNF
49ers vs Ravens
Our Pick: 49ers -6.0 @10/11
How does Jackson fare, and improvise against the 49ers’ pass rush? In turn, can the Ravens produce a pass rush that gets to Purdy? San Francisco is 4-1 ATS when favored by six points or less, with the only loss coming to Cincinnati. San Francisco allowed 234 rushing yards to a Kyler Murray-led offense in Week 15. Can Jackson make that kind of impression?
