Dave Blezow makes his NFL Week 16 picks for Sunday and Monday’s games. All lines courtesy of BetMGM:
Sunday
MIAMI DOLPHINS (-4) over Green Bay Packers
Finally we can stop talking about the weather, though I was impressed by the Dolphins not-quite-good-enough showing in Orchard Park. After a brutal three-game road trip, I expect the Dolphins to extend against the largely unimpressive Packers.
Denver Broncos (-2.5) over LOS ANGELES RAMS
I can think of better things to do on Christmas Day than watch these two teams try to play football. If I do, it’ll be on the fun Nickelodeon simulcast with all of the animated green slime. Russell Wilson is back after the Broncos gave me a Lock win last week without him.

ARIZONA CARDINALS (+7.5) over Tampa Bay Buccaneers
If I went against the 3-10-1 ATS Chiefs, I have to fade the 3-10-1 Bucs. Even if that leaves me with a free-falling Cardinals team and Trace McSorley vs. Tom Brady in prime time. Hey, stranger things have happened in the NFL. Lots of them. Every week
Monday
Los Angeles Chargers (-4.5) over INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
How do NFL teams bounce back the next week after blowing a 33-0 lead? The Colts are the first team to ever try it. If you think that’s a good betting situation, then have at it, but I’ll take Justin Herbert here.
This week’s picks are dedicated to my father, Norman, a life-long Giants fan who is fighting a tough health battle I know he will win.
