The Bears just don\u2019t have any answers on either side of the ball, and that\u2019s going to mean big trouble against a Lions squad that has really come on strong over the last three weeks.<\/p>\n<p><b>New England Patriots at New York Jets<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Week 16 NFL Spread: Patriots -10<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Jets seem to find a way to put up a fight against the Patriots more often than not, but this just isn\u2019t a game they seem to stand a chance in. New England is firing on all cylinders at the moment. This one could get ugly.<\/p>\n<p><b>New York Giants at St. Louis Rams<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Week 16 NFL Spread: Rams -4.5<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Giants have looked better of late, but that\u2019s just because they went through an easy portion of their schedule. The Rams have quietly been one of the better teams in football, but have been done in by a difficult schedule. They get back into the win column here.<\/p>\n<p><b>Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Week 16 NFL Spread: Seahawks -7.5<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals will be trotting out Ryan Lindley, who has seven career interceptions without a touchdown. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Now he gets to face Seattle\u2019s top-ranked pass defense, and things figure to only get ugly in this one. The Cardinal\u2019s defense is strong, but the Seahawks will run the ball down their throats en route to a low-scoring victory.<\/p>\n<h3>NFL Gambling \u2013 Week 16 Underdogs<\/h3>\n<p><b>San Diego Chargers at San Francisco 49ers<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Week 16 NFL Spread: Chargers +2.5<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Neither side has looked terrific over the last month, but there\u2019s a lot more wrong with the 49ers than the Chargers. San Diego has also been the beneficiary of far better quarterback play in recent weeks, and that should be the difference.<\/p>\n<p><b>Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Week 16 NFL Spread: Falcons +6.5<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Falcons put up their best performance of the season in the opening week of the regular year in a win over these very Saints. With the division lead on the line, the Falcons figure to put together another spirited performance. The luster has also come off the Superdome, where the Saints can\u2019t seem to win anymore.<\/p>\n<p><b>Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Week 16 NFL Spread: Chiefs +3.5<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The loser of this game takes a serious hit to their playoff chances, while the winner will be in pretty good shape moving forward. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63752&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City needs this one more, and they\u2019re pass rush is the kind of thing that can throw a wrench in Pittsburgh\u2019s dynamic offense.<\/p>\n<p><b>Indianapolis Colts at Dallas Cowboys<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Week 16 NFL Spread: Colts +3<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The loss of DeMarco Murray hurts the Cowboys in more than one way. Not only was he the motor that kept the offense moving \u2013 he was effectively the team\u2019s best defender, moving the chains and killing clock to keep the team\u2019s woeful defense on the sideline. A shootout between Andrew Luck and an injured Tony Romo won\u2019t end well for the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p><b>Buffalo Bills at Oakland Raiders <\/b><br \/>\n<b>Week 16 NFL Spread: Raiders +5.5<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Bills are flying high coming off a big win over the Green Bay Packers, but now they are in for a major letdown, with a cross-country flight to play the cellar-dwelling Raiders on hand. The Raiders have shown a bit of life on offense of late, and that will at least keep the back door cover potential open.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our <a title=\"NFL Week 16 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/nfl.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated NFL Week 16\u00a0Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expert NFL Cappers \u2013 Week 16 Projections Week 15 of the NFL schedule was littered with unders, which is always a good sign for the books.
