Buffalo Bills (8-6) at New England Patriots (9-5) These two teams met in Buffalo a few weeks ago, with the Patriots pulling the small upset on the road. Now that these two teams are meeting in New England, many expect the Patriots to be able to win easier than they…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers: 2021 Week 16 NFL Pick
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-4) at Carolina Panthers (5-9) The Buccaneers shockingly lost to the Saints as 11-point home favorites last week, but they won both the first down rate and yards per play battle in a game that likely would have gone the other way had the Buccaneers not lost…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions at Atlanta Falcons: 2021 Week 16 NFL Pick
Detroit Lions (2-11-1) at Atlanta Falcons (6-8) The Falcons are 6-8 and technically still in the mix for a playoff spot in the NFC, but they don’t have any impressive wins, as all six of their wins have come by one-score against teams with a .500 record or worse. Meanwhile,…

Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6-1) at Kansas City Chiefs (10-4) I am not locking in a lot of bets this week until gameday morning because of COVID uncertainty, but this is one I want to lock in right now. The Chiefs are currently missing two of their most important players, wide receiver…

Denver Broncos (7-7) at Las Vegas Raiders (7-7) The Raiders are 7-7, but they have a 4-2 record in one-score games and a 3-0 overtime record, so they could easily have a couple more losses. On top of that, their point differential of -75 is significantly worse than would be…

Cleveland Browns (7-7) at Green Bay Packers (11-3) The Packers stand alone with the league’s best record at 11-3, but they haven’t been dominant in most of their wins. As a result, they rank just 10th in the NFL in point differential at +57 and, in terms of schedule adjusted…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts at Arizona Cardinals: 2021 Week 16 NFL Pick
Indianapolis Colts (8-6) at Arizona Cardinals (10-4) The Cardinals started the season 7-0 and survived a 3-game stretch without quarterback Kyler Murray in which they went 2-1, but since Murray has returned from injury, I have thought the Cardinals are an overrated team. The Cardinals may have gone 2-1 without…

San Francisco 49ers (8-6) at Tennessee Titans (9-5) The Titans have a better record than the 49ers, but more predictive metrics like yards per play and first down rate show the 49ers to be a significantly better team, especially when you take into account that they have faced a tougher…

Seattle Seahawks (5-8) at Los Angeles Rams (9-4) The Rams were the third team to have a game rescheduled because of COVID this week. They actually had more cases than Washington or Cleveland at one point, knocking out about half of their roster, but it never affected their quarterback room…
