Week 16 NFL Weather

For those who prefer to make their own sports picks rather than get the better-than-gold expert football picks for NFL week 16, here is your NFL weather report for fantasy football betting odds and spread betting.

There is a 100 chance of snow in Foxboro, MA for the desert Arizona Cardinals coming to town. It may turn sloppy into rain late. Two to four inches of the white stuff is expected.

The weather is almost as ugly as the teams on the field when the Bengals travel to Cleveland. Some snow is possible but the big story is heavy wins of 26-28 with gusts approaching 49 mph.

Houston-Oakland has a 50 percent chance of rain at kickoff but wind will not be an issue. The Jets-Seahawks will have snow and freezing rain with winds 22-25 but decreasing. Chance of precipitation is 100 percent.

The Sunday Night game between Carolina and the Giants will be very cold, with temperatures below 20. Wind gusts as high as 48 mph. Snow should end before kickoff, but 1-3 inches are expected earlier in the day.

The Cleveland Browns hosting the Bengals could have some snow, while the Patriots hosting the Cardinals has a very good chance of rain as does the Eagles-Redskins. Snow is also possible for the NBC game between the Panthers and Giants, and Jets-Seahawks.  

The Gridiron Spotlight

Manning and company are stumbling toward the finish line, with consecutive losses versus the Eagles and Cowboys over the past two weeks. However, at 11-3 straight-up (and 10-4 against-the-spread) the Giants can still wrap up home-field advantage in the conference by getting past the Panthers on Sunday night. Carolina is also 11-3 SU this year (8-5-1 ATS), and two games ahead of both the Falcons and Bucs in the NFC South. The Giants are pegged as 3-point favorites.

Over in the AFC a battle for home-field advantage will take place in Tennessee, with the Steelers (11-3 SU, 8-6 ATS) facing off against the Titans (12-2 SU, 11-2-1 ATS). Pittsburgh has already clinched the AFC North title, and Tennessee is the champion of the AFC South. The Steelers are listed as 2-point road favorites.

The three 9-5 AFC East teams are all in action on Sunday as that division race goes down to the wire. Miami is a 3.5-point road favorite versus Kansas City, the Jets are favored by 4 points in Seattle, and the Patriots are giving 7.5 points at home against the Cardinals. The 8-6 Broncos can clinch the AFC West with a win over Buffalo; Denver is listed as a 6.5-point home favorite in that matchup.

Minnesota is a 3-point home favorite against Atlanta, with the Vikings trying to lock down the NFC North and the Falcons trying to stay alive in the NFC Wild Card race. Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, and Washington are still in the NFC playoff race as well; the Bucs are favored by 3.5 points at home against the Chargers, while the Eagles are 5-point favorites against the Redskins down in Washington.

The rest of the Sunday slate: Cincinnati at Cleveland (-3), San Francisco (-5.5) at St. Louis, New Orleans (-7) at Detroit, and Houston (-7) at Oakland. The Texans have won four games in a row, while the Lions are on that 14-game losing skid.
