NFL Picks Week 16: NFC East Team Headline Action

With only three weeks remaining in the NFL season, teams look to secure playoff births and top seeds in the NFC and AFC. Numerous important matchups with the NFC East teams are featured this week.

Seattle Seahawks versus Kansas City Chiefs

Seattle heads to Kansas City having lost four of their last five. They are “ice cold down” while the Chiefs have won five of their last six and are “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Kansas City is a 1.21 to 4.26 favorite with a line of -9.5 and an “over/under” of 48.5. The teams have been trending nearly equally over and under the line, and the Score Predictor likes the Chiefs by a 34-25 margin with 69 percent confidence. The Chiefs are +26 to +17 on the Power Ranks Indicator and are a bit more stable at +7 to 0 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. Look for Kansas City to win, but Seattle could cover in a game “over” the line.

New York Giants versus Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings need to continue to win and hope for the Eagles to lose to have a shot at the top seed in the NFC. They host the Giants as 1.48 to 2.612 favorites with a line of -4.5 and an over/under of 48.5. Minnesota is “average up” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +25 to +19 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in nine of the last 12 and the Score Predictor has by a 36-20 score with 55 percent confidence. The Giants have been particularly unstable at -1 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like Minnesota to cover in a game over the line.

Washington Commanders versus San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers are one of the frontrunners in the NFC, while the Commanders look to claim one of the final playoff spots. San Francisco is “burning hot” versus “average” and +27 to +24 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The odds are clearly in favor of the 49ers at home at 1.3 to 3.46 with a line of -6.5 and an “over/under” of 37.5. The Score Predictor has the 49ers by a 35-19 margin with 76 percent confidence. Washington has covered in four of their last five as an underdog, but have been unstable at 0 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. Go with the 49ers to win and the Commanders to cover but pass on the over/under bet.

Philadelphia Eagles versus Dallas Cowboys

The Eagles head into play likely without Jalen Hurts and needing just a win or one Dallas loss to clinch. Because of the injury, Dallas is a 5.5-point favorite with odds of 1.41 to 2.868 and an over/under of 47.5. Philadelphia is “burning hot” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +30 to +28 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The Eagles have been among the most stable teams in the NFL at +12 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. The Score Predictor has Dallas by a 33-25 score with 71 percent confidence. I think the Eagles will try to control the ball on the ground, and if successful will stay in the game with a shot to pull it out. Go for Philadelphia to cover in a game “under” the line.
