NFL Week 16 Picks
Each week Darren Dupont stops by with his betting picks and advice for our partners at ComeOn! Canada. Here they are for week 16 in the National Football League.
IND (-1.5) @ PIT
It’s a game of momentum and it’s all on the side of the Colts. They’ve won three in-a-row while the Steelers have lost three in-a-row. We are all gamblers and a lot of you are thinking… “THIS is the roll that will finally end up on red…” Look, Pittsburgh isn’t as good as their record indicates and Indy is in a tight battle to keep pace with Tennessee for the AFC South lead. I’m taking the Colts in this one.
LAR @ SEA (-1.5)
The Rams are 4-0 coming off a loss this season, including a win over Seattle back in week 10. The biggest difference this week? The Seahawks have got their s*** together since that loss. They’ve cleaned things up defensively, holding opposing offences under 20 points in each of the last four weeks (even if it was the Eagles, Giants, Jets and Washington), and it’s hard to beat the same team twice in a season.
Still, I like Sean McVay and the Rams to bounce back after handing the New York Jets their first win of the season. It’s left the Rams a little embarrassed and they will want to correct that this week. In a game of ‘who wants it more?’ take the Rams.
TEN @ GB (-3)
Aaron Rodgers vs Derrick Henry. This is clearly the game-of-the-week. TAKE THE OVER! Did you hear that in the back? The Packers are soft defensively. They lack physicality and that is a dream matchup for Henry and the Titans run game. On the other side, Tennessee is soft in the secondary and horrid on third down. Who’s one of the best in the game in those areas? Aaron Rodgers. I think Rodgers and Adams pick apart the Titans’ secondary while Derrick Henry chews up game clock, both putting up a ton of points in the process. In the end, I’ll take Green Bay to make one more stop on defense than the Titans.
