NFL Picks: Week 16

Los Angeles Rams versus Tennessee Titans

The Rams enter the game at 10-4 and coming off a blowout win in Seattle, while the Titans are 8-6. Los Angeles is tied for 10th in Team Volatility and are a 9-point road favorite. The hold the advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator, +28 to +18 and also on the Team Strength Oscillator. This one shouldn’t be much of a contest. I see the Rams winning and covering the spread.

Miami Dolphins versus Kansas City Chiefs

The Dolphins enter at 6-8 while the Chiefs are eyeing the AFC West with a record of 8-6. Kansas City won the last meeting between the teams as a road underdog in 2014. They hold a +18 to +14 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator, but are “ice cold up” compared to “average up” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Chiefs are a ten point home favorite with much more to play for than the Dolphins. While the Chiefs might not cover, they will win the game.

Atlanta Falcons versus New Orleans Saints

The Falcons narrowly defeated Tampa Bay on Monday night and are a 5.5-point road underdog in New Orleans. Atlanta won the last meeting as the home favorite on December 7. The Saints hold a slight +24 to +21 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and are “average” versus “average up” on the Team Strength Oscillator. New Orleans is tied for first in Team Volatility, which is the deciding factor in this game. Look for the Saints to edge the Falcons,

Seattle Seahawks versus Dallas Cowboys

This is a must win for both teams to keep their playoff hopes alive. Two teams heading in opposite directions, the Cowboys are “burning hot” and are welcoming the return of Ezekiel Elliott. Seattle is “average down” and coming out a blowout defeat at home against the Rams. Dallas holds a +21 to +19 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and are tied for fourth in Team Volatility. Seattle has a lot of pride and with Russell Wilson no game is out of reach, but Dallas is a five-point home favorite and will likely win this game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers versus Carolina Panthers

The Buccaneers head to Carolina at 4-9 and will hope to ruin the Panthers chances at a division title. There is little to suggest that could happen, however, as the Panthers are a ten-point favorite. Carolina is “burning hot” while Tampa Bay is “ice cold down”. Similarly, the Panthers hold a +26 to +4 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. The Buccaneers are tied for eighth in Team Volatility, but as an underdog is one more reason to pick the Panthers. Carolina will win this one in relatively easy fashion.

Oakland Raiders versus Philadelphia Eagles

The Raiders could be eliminated from playoff contention and the Eagles could have the number one seed by kickoff. No matter the status, the Eagles have a big advantage in this game. Yes the defense has been poor lately, but the Eagles have been dominating at home and are a nine point favorite, despite the absence of Carson Wentz. They hold a +30 to +12 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator and are “burning hot” versus “average down” for the Raiders. Look for the Eagles to figure some things out on defense and win this and cover the spread.
