A record 12 of 16 NFL games last week were decided by one score, suggesting the competition is ramping up in the final stretch of the regular season. We have highlighted the odds, movements, and our NFL best bets for Week 16.
Entering Week 16, six of the 14 playoff spots were claimed, while five teams have been eliminated from playoff contention entirely.
As we finish December and head into early January, will the cold weather significantly impact games? Oddsmakers seem to think so, as seven games have a total Under 40, while the matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns is on pace to have the lowest O/U at kickoff since 2008.
Here are our best NFL bets for Week 16 (odds via PointsBet and FanDuel Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
