Keys to Week 16 Picks 🗝️
Plus: Props, memes, and holiday cheer 🎅
Welcome to Week 16 of the NFL! We got games tonight, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the day after Christmas... what more could you ask for?!
Here are the games I'm putting my money on this week...
🐆 Jaguars vs Jets ✈️

I see two teams going in very different directions here.
With Zach Wilson at the helm, the Jets have scored 29 points in 2 weeks
Trevor Lawrence is rolling now, he threw 3 TD passes to Zay Jones alone last week and beat a supposed tough Dallas defense
Just look at these stats:
Jacksonville totaled 38% less rushing yards in L5 games
Jacksonville conceded 20% more rushing yards in L5 games
Jets are a top 5 defense in points given up
I'll put my money on Lawrence against a tough D vs Wilson against an easy D.
➡️ Give me the Jags on the Moneyline
🦬 Bills vs Bears 🐻
If Buffalo can stop what Chicago does best, which is running the ball, this should be a blowout.
Buffalo has a top 6 rushing defense that should neutralize this very one dimensional Bears team
Buffalo has no problem scoring, they're a top 4 scoring team while the Bears are a bottom 3 team in points allowed
There's no chance the Bears play back-to-back good games on defense
Plus there's this:
Chicago totals 54% more rushing yards than the league average
Buffalo scores 25% more points than the league average
Bills are a top 4 scoring offense
Chicago is a bottom 3 team in points allowed
Bills have a 5 game win streak, Bears have a 5 game losing streak
➡️ I got Bills vs Bears Under 40
🐅 Bengals vs Patriots 🏈

Now here's a top 5 offense going against a top 8 defense at the end of December in Foxborough. Points come at a premium for this game.
We got a good passing team against a good pass defense
Both teams are going to look to limit mistakes by leaning on the run game
Bengals have hit the under in 9 games, Pats have hit the under in 8 games
Not to mention:
Bengals are top 5 in scoring; Pats are top 8 team in points allowed
Bengals are top 6 in passing attack; Pats are top 9 passing in yards allowed
Bengals are 9-3 ATS as a favorite; Pats are 1-6 ATS as underdogs
➡️ Bengals vs Patriots Under 41.5
🧀 Packers vs Dolphins 🐬
Packers beat the Rams and Bears the past two weeks for two of the most unimpressive wins of the season. Meanwhile, the Dolphins are on a 3-game losing streak against the 49ers, Chargers and Bills.
This is a get right spot for Miami, especially playing in sunny, warm Florida
Green Bay is a bottom 4 rushing defense, giving up almost 200 yards on the ground in their L3 games
I see Miami running all over this piss poor run defense which will open the pass and make it really easy on Tua
Don't believe me yet? Check this out:
Green Bay scored 30% more points in their last 5 games
Miami is top 9 in scoring; Green Bay is 15th in points allowed
Green Bay can stop the pass, ranked 1st in pass completions against
They can't stop the run, ranked 29th in rushing yards against
Miami is 6-2 ATS as a favorite while Green Bay is 2-3 as an underdog
➡️ I'm going Dolphins -3
