NFL Week 16 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals
Injuries are a part of the game and nothing impacts a betting line more. A good example is the Kansas City Chiefs, who saw Patrick Mahomes exit Sunday’s game with what was diagnosed as a high ankle sprain. The Chiefs beat Cleveland, 21-7, improving to 13-1 taking over the best record in the NFL from Detroit, which had its 11-game winning streak stopped by Buffalo. The Bills also handed KC its lone loss of the season with a 30-21 victory in Week 11. As a result of Mahomes’ injury and playing on a short week entertaining Houston on Saturday, the Texans hit the board as a 2-point favorite. The Chiefs haven’t ruled Mahomes out but in case you’re wondering his backup is Carson Wentz, who has thrown two passes all season, both coming on Sunday in relief of Mahomes.
Week 16 of the NFL season is a busy one with the Thursday night matchup between AFC West rivals Denver and the Chargers getting things started. The Broncos moved ahead of LA in the division standings by winning their fourth straight game. since starting the season 0-2 the Broncos have won nine of 12 games. The Bolts entered Sunday’s game with Tampa boasting the league’s best scoring defense but gave up a season-high 40 in losing for the third time in four games. The Chargers beat Denver 23-16 in Week 6 covering the 3-point spread. They opened as a field goal favorite in the TNF matchup.
A couple of impactful games in the AFC are featured on Saturday, filling the void left by the conclusion of the college football season. Division leaders Houston and Kansas City square off in the early game with first place in the AFC North on the line in the late game. The Steelers have a one-game lead over Baltimore in the division making the race tighter with a loss to Philadelphia on Sunday. The Ravens rebounded from a loss to the Eagles by smacking the Giants 35-14 behind five TD passes from Lamar Jackson. Pittsburgh has won four straight in the series and eight of the last nine by putting the clamps on Jackson. The Ravens have failed to score 20 points in each of the last eight meetings. Despite that Baltimore opened as a 6-point favorite.
Several divisions are still up for grabs, including the NFC North where the Lions and Vikings have identical 12-2 records with the Packers two games back. A rash of injuries may have hurt Detroit’s chances with David Montgomery among those done for the season. They Lions also lost three defensive starters in the same game. Still, Detroit opened as a 7-point road favorite against Chicago. Minnesota hits the road for Seattle in a game that will also impact the NFC West. The Seahawks and Rams enter Week 16 tied for first at 8-6. Seattle is a 3-point home dog while the Rams are a 3-point road favorite against the Jets.
