Best spot bets for the NFL Week 16 odds: Home for the holidays could be bad for Broncos
Jason Logan

Denver doesn’t have a great history when laying the lumber in Mile High, going just 2-7-2 ATS in those spots since 2017, and is a 6.5-point favorite hosting Detroit in a tough schedule spot in Week 16.

Checking off that long Christmas list isn’t the only shopping you should do this week. If you’re betting the NFL odds for Week 16, be on the lookout for good deals going against teams walking into tough situational spots this weekend.

Senior Industry Analyst Jason Logan gift wraps his favorite spot bets for Week 16, including his top lookahead, letdown and schedule spots.

LETDOWN SPOT: NEW YORK GIANTS AT WASHINGTON REDSKINS (-2.5, 42)

After an uncomfortable (but necessary) move to replace veteran QB and two-time Super Bowl champ Eli Manning with rookie passer Daniel Jones back in Week 3, the Giants were able to give Eli a proper sendoff last Sunday.

With Jones out with an injury, Manning was thrust back under center and picked up a win over Miami in what could be his final game inside MetLife Stadium. It was a fitting ending to his polarizing career, but the catch is that it isn’t over yet. New York still has two more games to play, starting in Washington this week (then closing versus Philadelphia at home in Week 17).

Jones could return for Sunday but there’s a good chance its Manning again, leaving the rookie to take the reigns the following week in the season finale. It’s strange to find a team ripe for a letdown off a victory against the Dolphins, but with the feel-good finish to last Sunday’s festivities, the G-Men could come into D.C. a little flat. The Redskins are playing their best football of the season with a 3-1 ATS mark over their last four games, including a bad beat for Washington bettors in the dying seconds of Sunday's loss to Philadelphia.

LOOKAHEAD SPOT: ARIZONA CARDINALS AT SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (-9.5, 50.5)

When playoff position is changing with every win and loss, it’s tough to single out a proper lookahead spot in Week 16. The Seahawks are our default selection this week, giving almost 10 points to the visiting Cardinals with a massive matchup against the 49ers set for Week 17.

Seattle took over the top seed in the NFC with its win over Carolina and San Francisco’s folly against Atlanta in Week 15. The Seahawks stuck to their trend of making bettors sweat it out a little more than they’d like, beating the Panthers 30-24 as 6-point home chalk (despite holding a 30-10 lead in the fourth quarter). On the season, all but one of Seattle’s 11 victories have come by one score (eight points or less) and four of those have been by a field goal or fewer.

The only comfortable win for Seahawks bettors was a 27-10 victory over Arizona back in Week 4. But with Seattle looking ahead to the 49ers and perhaps pulling some starters if they get up, this big spread opens the backdoor for Cardinals bettors (Seahawks getting outscored 11.3 to 6.7 in the fourth quarter over their last three games). The underdog is also 7-1-1 ATS in the last nine head-to-head meetings between these NFC West rivals.

SCHEDULE SPOT: DETROIT LIONS AT DENVER BRONCOS (-6.5, 38)

Everyone wants to be home for Christmas. Hell, there’s even a classic Xmas song about it. But when it comes to the Broncos return to the Mile High City to play Detroit in Week 16, a trip home could bring with it extra baggage. And, as dear Vegas wiseguy once told me, not all home games are a good thing.

Denver is gassed after being on the road for four of its last five games, including back-to-back away tilts at Houston and Kansas City heading into Week 16. All that time spent in practice, on planes and in hotels makes prepping for the holidays extra tough. With family coming to town, players are arranging accommodations and tickets, and off-field distractions can compound when you have a losing team already frustrated with the way things are operating. Pile on the bad press and media blitz around the Broncos’ future, and Denver could have a Clark Griswold-sized Xmas melt down on Sunday.

The Broncos have been a solid bet at home, going 4-2 ATS as hosts this season, but are rare home favorites to the Lions this Sunday, giving 6.5 points. Denver doesn’t have a great history when laying the lumber in Mile High, going just 2-7-2 ATS in those spots since 2017.

NFL Week 16 betting cheat sheet: Impact injuries, weather, Pros vs Joes and more
Patrick Everson

A shoulder issue isn't expected to sideline Dak Prescott for Dallas' huge game at Philadelphia.

NFL Week 16 has a quarterback who might not be 100 percent, but he is in no position to sit out. We check in on everything from injury updates to weather to Pros vs. Joes clashes and more, with insights from Eric Osterman, manager at The SuperBook at Westgate in Las Vegas.

Injury Impact

DALLAS COWBOYS: Quarterback Dak Prescott has an injury to his right (throwing) shoulder, but with the Cowboys and Eagles in a battle for the NFC East title, the Dallas QB can ill afford to rest. “Prescott is going to play, but we expect him to be somewhat limited,” Osterman said. “We’re at Cowboys -1.5, and it had been Cowboys -2.5.”

MINNESOTA VIKINGS: Running back Dalvin Cook (chest) seems unlikely to play, in a key NFC North clash against visiting Green Bay on Monday night. But The SuperBook was prepared for that possibility. “We expected Cook to be out. That line has actually moved in the Vikings’ favor.” Indeed, the Vikings opened -4.5 and reached -5.5 midweek.

HOUSTON TEXANS: Running back Carlos Hyde (ankle), who has 1,030 yards on the ground and is averaging 4.6 yards per carry, is questionable at Tampa Bay. However, Osterman said The SuperBook made no move off that information yet. The Texans are 3-point favorites.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: Quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb/knee) is questionable, but oddsmakers believe he’ll play against Houston. “Winston was questionable with the same injury last week and played well, so no move.” The Bucs are 3-point home underdogs.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: Wideout Julian Edelman (knee/shoulder) is questionable, although that seems to be the case every week, so there’s been no adjustment. “We’ve learned to kind of ignore the Pats’ injury report unless there is more tangible evidence of someone being out. They list a lot of guys as questionable every week.” New England is laying 6.5 at home against Buffalo on Saturday.

OAKLAND RAIDERS: Running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder), who has 1,150 rushing yards and averages 4.8 yards per carry, is out for the Raiders’ game at the Los Angeles Chargers. “Jacobs is worth a half-point to the spread and the total. He’s their main source of offense right now.” The Raiders are 7.5-point underdogs, with the total at 45.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: The defense isn’t as banged up as last week, when several players were out or questionable, but end Dee Ford (quad/hamstring) is among those who won’t play. However, there was no adjustment, and the 49ers are 6.5-point home favorites against the Rams on Saturday night.

Weather Watch

BUFFALO AT NEW ENGLAND: The middle layer of Saturday’s three-game NFL sandwich will be a chilly one, with the temperature around 30 for a 4:25 p.m. ET start. “The total has come down 1.5 points. Some of that move has to do with the weather, but both teams are also a little banged up.” The total actually dipped 2 points, from 38.5 to 36.5, but rebounded to 37 Thursday.

CINCINNATI AT MIAMI: A battle among two of the league’s worst teams could be played in the South Florida rain. There’s an 80 percent chance of thunderstorms Sunday. However, Osterman said that hasn’t yet impacted the total, which sits at 46.

OAKLAND AT LOS ANGELES CHARGERS: There’s a 50 percent chance of rain in L.A. on Sunday. “The total has come down 1.5 points. That’s more to do with Josh Jacobs being out than the weather.” The total is at 45.
Pros vs. Joes

DALLAS AT PHILADELPHIA: “The only game that is Pros vs. Joes is this one. The public has been all over the Cowboys, but the line has come down with concern over Dak Prescott’s shoulder. We got some early sharp money on the Eagles at +3 (-120). We are currently at Cowboys -2.”

Reverse Line Moves

DALLAS AT PHILADELPHIA: A repeat of the Pros vs. Joes, with sharp action coming in on the Eagles, but more money flowing toward the Cowboys for Sunday’s NFC East showdown.

The Saints are fighting for home field in the NFC while the Titans might already know if their playoff hopes have been wiped away if the Texans win at Tampa Bay, one of three NFL games played on Saturday.

”They took the Titans at +3 and +3 -120, so I moved it to +2 making us the lowest number in the market,” said CG Technology sportsbook director Tony DiTommaso. “I skipped 2.5 just because I wanted to get to where I thought it was going quicker.”

Jason McCormick of Station Casinos and Chris Andrews at the South Point both said the Titans were one of their most bet games by sharp money.

The attraction with the Titans could simply be a matter of taking the home +3, the most key number in the NFL or it could be the Saints playing on a short week coming off an emotional game with Drew Brees passing Peyton Manning for the all-time record in TD passes.

But the possible emotions of the Titans being eliminated has to mean something to the number. We’ll see where the number goes if the Texans win Saturday, something that large money has already bet will happen.

“They bet the Texans at -2 and -2.5 and we’re at -3 (-120) now,” DiTommaso said. “I don’t get the total move in that game. They’ve been betting the Buccaneers under the past few weeks for some reason. We’re looking to stay ahead of the market at 50.5 and we’ll wait for one more large bet on it to drop it lower.”

The Buccaneers have gone over the total in 11 of their last 12 games and their defense allows 31 ppg at home, but the main driving force for the high scores has been Jameis Winston, who has thrown for over 450 yards in his last two starts. All season long Winston throws a bunch of interceptions allowing opponents several short field opportunities and then he throws three or four TD passes, and lately, he’s been winning. The Bucs have won their last four games as Winston auditions for a new contract.

“They (sharp money) laid -5.5 and -6 with the Chargers (vs. Raiders) and also -6.5 with the Broncos (vs. Lions),” DiTommaso said.

Most books have some variation of -7 with the Chargers while MGM books were holding onto -6.5 (-120) as of Friday afternoon. Both teams come in off lousy performances, and once again for the Chargers, home-field at Carson, CA, we can expect the opponent to have the home-field advantage. Expect Raider Nation to have a sea of black in the stands, for whatever that’s worth. Again, there is no home field value to the number. In fact, you could probably add +1 to the Raiders for the home-field.

The Lions have lost seven straight and are just 1-8 ATS in their last nine. The Broncos have looked good in their last three, winning two of them. The 38-24 win at Houston three weeks ago was their most impressive win of the season with the offense, defense, and special teams all playing key roles.

CG books also saw respected money come in on the Steelers (-3 at the Jets) and Bengals (-1 at Miami). “They took +1 and pick with the Bengals,” DiTommaso said. The South Point has also taken sharp bets on the Bengals.

Westgate Superbook VP Jay Kornegay has seen his most sharp wagers on the Steelers, Titans, and Eagles (+3 vs. Cowboys).

Eagles money has forced every book to move with the lowest number being Cowboys -1.5 at MGM books. If the Cowboys win, they’ll win the NFC East. It’s probably the biggest game of Carson Wentz’s NFL career.

The top four public plays are just about the same everywhere. Books will be sweating all the parlays with the Chiefs (-6 at Chicago), Saints, Ravens (-10 at Cleveland), and 49ers (-6.5 vs. Rams).

The Chiefs have won and covered their last four games, while also staying under in all four. That’s a nice two-team, side-to-total parlay at 13-to-5 odds that could be active again with the Bears solid defense and improved Chiefs' defense. But the public weight on this game is something to consider with taking the points and Bears at home. Because it’s going to be the last NFL game posted Sunday night, the risk is going to be one-sided.

“We’re going to need to beat the Chiefs Sunday night and we’ll need the Packers on Monday as well,” said DiTommaso.

The Vikings are 5.5-point home favorites Monday night against the Packers after opening -4.5.
