What a week it was in the NFL. The Packers lost, the Bears imploded and two teams clinched their respective divisions. Some bad teams were afforded the opportunity to hang around – heck even the Jaguars covered the spread last week!<\/p>\n

So what can we expect this week? Here is a look at all of the games on the slate, the odds that accompany those games and what could play out in another typically crazy week of NFL football.<\/p>\n
Thursday, December 18<\/h3>\n
Titans at Jaguars<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Jaguars -3<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Titans bring an eight game losing streak into Thursday night – ugly every week out. At least the Jags have been somewhat competitive recently. Who knows who is going to start for the Titans at QB – it shouldn’t matter anyway!<\/p>\n

Saturday, December 20<\/h3>\n
Chargers at 49ers<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Chargers +2 1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\nIt’s pretty hard to like the 49ers right now – they looked totally disinterested in Week 15 and may be forced to play without Frank Gore and Carlos Hyde on Saturday. Three straight losses and zero to play for have me steering away from San Francisco the rest of the way!<\/p>\n
Eagles at Redskins<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Eagles -8 1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Skins have lost six straight games and haven\u2019t looked good at all in any. They got largely schooled by the Giants in Week 15 \u2013 the Eagles are a much better team than New York. Expect a motivated Eagles team to click on all cylinders against Washington\u2019s brutal defense in what could be the blowout of the weekend.<\/p>\n
Sunday, December 21<\/h3>\n
Vikings at Dolphins<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Vikings +7<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Vikings are quietly playing some good ball \u2013 last week\u2019s loss may have been a tad unlucky against Detroit \u2013 they easily covered in that game. The Fins on the other hand seem as though they have gotten worse as the season has rolled on. Minnesota\u2019s Teddy Bridgewater has looked very good and is likely the better QB in this match! Take the Vikes to keep this one close as well \u2013 an outright win wouldn\u2019t be shocking in the least.<\/p>\n
Packers at Bucs<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Packers -10 1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\nYou have to think that the Packers will bring their absolute best Sunday \u2013 that they won\u2019t take another team lightly again the rest of the season! Aaron Rodgers had one of his worst games as a pro \u2013 he won\u2019t do that twice in a row! Also \u2013 the Bucs are definitely no Buffalo Bill on defense. Expect a huge bounce back at Tampa Bay\u2019s expense!<\/p>\n
Lions at Bears<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Lines Not Available Yet<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Bears have mailed it in \u2013 their body language says it all. No pride \u2013 no win no matter what the line is on Sunday afternoon. Gotta take the Lions here!<\/p>\n
Falcons at Saints<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Line Not Available Yet<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Saints will likely be favored in this one but I still don\u2019t trust them. Monday night\u2019s win was more about how pathetic Chicago was \u2013 not how good New Orleans was.<\/p>\n
[dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n
The Saints have lost four straight games on home turf \u2013 my money is on them losing a fifth to Julio Jones, Matt Ryan and the boys.<\/p>\n
Patriots at Jets<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Patriots -10<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Pats eeked out a 27-25 win in the first meeting of the season but they have been blowing teams out of the water since. There is no way the Jets generate the 35 points it will take to hang with New England in this one. New England is just too good and the Jets are too\u2026 bad!<\/p>\n
Chiefs at Steelers<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Steelers -3<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Chiefs have had their issues against strong running teams this season \u2013 Enter Le\u2019Veon Bell and the Steelers. KC\u2019s second best pass defense in the NFL will also have its hands full with Big Ben who is coming off his eighth 300+ yard passing game this season. Simply put, the Chiefs offense is nowhere near Pittsburgh\u2019s in terms of offense right now. The name of the game is outscoring your opponent \u2013 I don\u2019t see the Chiefs doing that Sunday.<\/p>\n
Browns at Panthers<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Lines Not Available Yet<\/strong><\/p>\nCam Newton should return this week to bolster a Carolina offense that is waking up as the season wears on. Derek Anderson isn\u2019t a bad fill-in however. Cleveland will trot out Johnny Manzeil once again \u2013 nothing gets a defense up like a cocky rookie QB. Expect the Browns to be terrorized again and for Carolina to stay in the thick of the NFC South race with an easy win Sunday.<\/p>\n
Ravens at Texans<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Ravens -4<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Texans could be down to their third, maybe fourth string QB for this game \u2013 injuries have ravaged this team. Baltimore\u2019s defense has really come on the last month and will be salivating at the opportunity to get after a sure-to-be inexperienced QB. Baltimore looks to be on a playoff path \u2013 the Texans not so much.<\/p>\n
Giants at Rams<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Giants +5<\/strong><\/p>\nIn Odell we trust! The G-Men are tasked with facing a Rams team that has given up a total of 12 points the last three weeks – 12! Take the combination of Manning\/Beckham to make some more noise Sunday and for the G-Men to pull the upset.<\/p>\n
Bills at Raiders<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Bills -6<\/strong><\/p>\nBuffalo\u2019s defense has established itself as one of the elite teams in the game \u2013 they held Aaron Rodgers in check last week and they made Peyton Manning\u2019s life miserable the week before that. Now the Bills have the honor of facing Derek Carr! Despite the Raiders looking OK at home this year, the Bills\u2019 playoff chase is still in full effect. It is hard to imagine the woeful Raiders scoring enough on the Bills defense to keep this game close!<\/p>\n
Colts at Cowboys\u00a0<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Colts +3<\/strong><\/p>\nPossibly the best game on the schedule for Week 16, the Colts are coming off a rather disappointing effort in Week 15 while the Cowboys looked virtually unstoppable. That said the Colts have a better defense than the Boys have faced in a while and Andrew Luck and company are due for an offensive explosion.<\/p>\n
[dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n
Indy has won their last four games by an average of 12 1\/2 points \u2013 all they have to do is slow down Romo and the boys, not stop them. I think they get it done.<\/p>\n
Seahawks at Cardinals<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Seahawks -7 1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Hawks are on a roll and now get the chance to face a Cardinals team that will go with their third string QB and second\/third string running back. It will be low scoring as defenses dominate \u2013 Seattle has allowed an average of 7.8 points against the last four games and should be able to put up 17-20 against the Cards in this one.<\/p>\n
Monday, December 22<\/h3>\n
Broncos at Bengals<\/strong>
\n Week 16 Point Spread: Broncos -3 1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\nCall me crazy but I have zero faith in the Bengals on the Big Stage \u2013 Monday night happens to be one of those stages. The Broncos have been skating by but own one of the most balanced, well-rounded teams in the game. Denver has won an incredible 12 straight games on the road \u2013 make it 13 on Monday.<\/p>\n
