NFL Week 16 Betting Lines and which games to bet NOW

What’s on the table today?: NFL Week 16 Betting Lines and which games to bet NOW
Week 16 is about to kick off on Thursday Night with the 49ers in Tennessee against the Titans. The 49ers are currently (-3.5) favorites. The Titans lead their division, but the 49ers are the better team right now and are rightfully favored. Tennessee still leads the Colts by a game in the AFC South and they can’t afford to keep losing.
This is one of the games I’m still having a hard time gauging, but if I were making a play for the fun of it, I’d take a flier on the 49ers to cover this spread even though the Titans NEED this game in a big way. Something about the way San Francisco has been playing lately has made me a believer once again that they could really make noise in the NFC Playoffs.
For the rest of the Week 16 action take a look below and note which games I’m going to play NOW before we see line movement from the sharps and the public.
Cleveland Browns at Green Bay Packers (-7.5) – the Packers have been cover machines this year going 11-2 in their last 13 games. Take the Packers (-7.5) NOW
The first of two Christmas games. The Browns will be on a very short week after playing Monday, in a game rescheduled due to their COVID-19 outbreak.
Indianapolis Colts at Arizona Cardinals (-1.5)
Detroit Lions at Atlanta Falcons (-4.5) – the Lions are hoping to ruin everybody’s weekend with another win. I’m playing Detroit (+4/.5) NOW
Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals (-2.5)
Los Angeles Rams (-3) at Minnesota Vikings
Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots (-1.5)
Jacksonville Jaguars at New York Jets (-2.5)
New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles (-10)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-11.5) at Carolina Panthers
Los Angeles Chargers (-10.5) at Houston Texans
Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks (-7)
Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs (-10.5)
Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders (-1.5)
Washington Football Team at Dallas Cowboys (-10.5)
Miami Dolphins at New Orleans Saints (-3) – play the Dolphins (+3) NOW
Here are a couple teams that are hanging around the wild-card races. The Dolphins have somehow won six in a row after a 1-7 start. The Saints kept their hopes alive with a huge 9-0 win at Tampa Bay on Sunday night.
