NFL Straight Up Picks for Every Team in Week 16 (Back Patriots and Saints as Underdogs)
Welcome to one of the best weekends of 2022!
Not only do we have the holidays to enjoy, but we have a full slate of NFL games to watch and bet on.
In this article, I'll give you my straight up moneyline pick for all 16 games set to take place in Week 16. If you're looking for picks against the spread, this isn't the article for all. All we care about here is what team is going to win the game.
If you want my best bet for each game including spreads and totals, check out this week's episode of the Bacon Bets Podcast.
But for now, here are my straight up picks for all 16 NFL Week 16 games.
NFL Week 16 Moneyline Bets
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New York Jets
- Pick: Jets -113
Buffalo Bills vs. Chicago Bears
- Pick: Bills -385
Detroit Lions vs. Carolina Panthers
- Pick: Panthers +130
I keep trying to fade the Lions and it hasn't worked for me yet, but this could be the week. The Lions can't keep winning with the league's worst defense, especially now that they face a Panthers defense that has one of the best secondary's in the NFL.
New Orleans Saints vs. Cleveland Browns
- Pick: Saint +130
The weather is going to be insane in Cleveland on Saturday, which means anything can happen when these two teams face off. The Browns have struggled to stop the run all season, so if New Orleans pounds the rock against them in less than ideal conditions, then Cleveland could be in trouble.
Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans
- Pick: Texans +185
Seattle Seahawks vs. Kansas City Chiefs
- Pick: Chiefs -425
New York Giants vs. Minnesota Vikings
- Pick: Giants +176
Cincinnati Bengals vs. New England Patriots
- Pick: Patriots +147
It's time to sell high on the Bengals after their latest hot streak and buy low on the Patriots after their embarressing loss to the Raiders. New England still has one of the best defenses in the NFL, and it's time we give them the respect they deserve.
Atlanta Falcons vs. Baltimore Ravens
- Pick: Ravens -320
Washington Commanders vs. San Francisco 49ers
- Pick: 49ers -335
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys
- Pick: Cowboys -210
Las Vegas Raiders vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
- Pick: Raiders +126
Green Bay Packers vs. Miami Dolphins
- Pick: Dolphins -196
Denver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Rams
- Pick: Broncos -135
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Arizona Cardinals
- Pick: Buccaneers -330
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Indianapolis Colts
- Pick: Colts +195
