NFL Week 16 picks: Consider Chiefs, Lions and Eagles this weekend
Lorenzo Reyes shares his best bets ahead of a long weekend of football games.
It’s been a disappointing season for both the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins. Each team came into the year with playoff expectations, but heading into Week 16, both teams have been all but eliminated. Each team’s offense was supposed to be near the top of the league, but they’ve both been middle of the road.
Injuries, regression, and drama have marred each of these team’s seasons, but there’s still something to play for. Both teams are still technically still alive, and until that hope disappears entirely, neither of these teams are going to go down easy.
Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 16 showdown.
The 49ers are favorites to defeat the Dolphins, according to the BetMGM NFL odds. Not interested in this game? Check out expert picks and best bets for every NFL game this week.
Chargers vs. Broncos | Chiefs vs. Texans | Ravens vs. Steelers | Bengals vs. Browns | Falcons vs. Giants | Bills vs. Patriots | Panthers vs. Cardinals | Bears vs. Lions | Colts vs. Titans | Jets vs. Rams | Commanders vs. Eagles | Seahawks vs. Vikings | Raiders vs. Jaguars | Dolphins vs. 49ers | Cowboys vs. Buccaneers | Packers vs. Saints
Mike McDaniel faces his former team. Hopefully Tua Tagovailoa isn’t a turnover machine in this one. There’s still an outside chance for Miami to make the playoffs. The 49ers are waiting for their Super Bowl 58 hangover to be over at this point.
Whoever loses, their season is done for. There’s tons of dysfunction going on with the 49ers, and it’s the mistakes that hurt them and come to the benefit of Miami.
