The Christmas holiday used to be dominated by the NBA, but the NFL is trying to take that away. There are games spread out all throughout the weekend and you are going to find some great betting opportunities on both Saturday and Sunday.
Betting on the NFL can get pretty difficult at times, but making teaser bets is one way to make it easier to bet against the spread. Here are six of the best teaser picks to make by looking at two different types of teaser bets.
6-Point NFL Week 16 Teaser Picks
Best Bet: Bills -9.0 to -3.0
The Buffalo Bills visit the Chicago Bears on Sunday and the weather is going to impact how this game is played. It could end up being the coldest game in Soldier Field history and it’s also going to be windy.
Both teams have run the football well this season and it’s going to be a relatively low-scoring game because of that and the weather. Chicago isn’t winning games, but they are playing opponents tough.
Buffalo will win, but you want to take the extra six points to bet on the Bills in this game.
Best Bet: Cowboys -5.0 to +1.0
NFC East rivals meet up in Dallas on Saturday and the 10-4 Cowboys are favored over the 13-1 Eagles. Injury concerns are there for both teams, but this game is usually a battle regardless of the circumstances.
Philadelphia just continues to win games against everyone and that offense will be tough to stop in this game. Dallas should be able to pick up a win at home, but moving the line to +1.0 is the best bet to make in this one.
Bengals vs. Patriots Prediction
Best Bet: Bengals -3.5 to +2.5
The Patriots host the Bengals on Saturday and New England can’t afford to lose another game. Winning this one won’t be easy, though, as the Bengals come into this game having won six straight.
Cincinnati loves to throw the football, but you can expect the Patriots to try and find a way to get pressure on Joe Burrow. This is a must-win game for the Patriots and that needs to be considered as well.
The best bet is to move the line six points and take the Bengals +2.5.
10-Point NFL Week 16 Teaser Picks
Seahawks vs. Chiefs Prediction
Best Bet: Chiefs -9.5 to +0.5
The Kansas City Chiefs continue to be one of the best teams in the NFL, but it really depends on who they are playing. Kansas City continues to play up or down to their opponents and that could create a challenge against a desperate Seahawks team.
Weather is going to play a factor in all outdoor games this weekend and the Chiefs aren’t going to be able to throw the ball a ton. Kansas City should win, but moving the line by 10 points and getting them at +0.5 is the way to go.
Best Bet: Ravens -7.5 to +2.5
The Baltimore Ravens are hoping to get Lamar Jackson back in week 16 as they are a team that is searching for offense. Atlanta will be in Baltimore on Saturday and the Falcons are a team that can put up some points.
The Ravens shouldn’t have a ton of trouble winning this game, but you never know in the NFL. Take the ten additional points and bet on the Ravens at +2.5 to cover at home.
Buccaneers vs. Cardinals Prediction
Best Bet: Buccaneers -6.5 to +3.5
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers come into week 16 with an absolute mess on offense, and it’s shocking to see them as 6.5-point favorites. Tampa Bay is hosting a Cardinals team without quarterback Kyler Murray and they are another team that struggles to score.
This should be a game that doesn’t feature a ton of offense and you simply can’t take the Bucs at -6.5 at this point in time. Move the line by 10 points and Tampa Bay will be able to cover +3.5.
