Breaking Down The AFC South Matchups In NFL Week 16 Picks

No division is usually more ruthless than the AFC betting South, and with the playoffs quickly creeping up behind us, there’s no group of teams that has more on the line.

Two teams are fighting for their playoff lives, while the other two teams are just trying to preserve what has already been a disastrous season for both of them despite high hopes.

Houston Texans -3.0 @ Denver Broncos

This seems like the perfect game for Tim Tebow. The Broncos will let him do whatever he’s capable of on the field, and Houston’s defense has been bleeding all year. The Broncos have found some weird magic whenever they play at home, and despite them being a horrific cover team this season I don’t trust the Texans in NFL Week 16 picks with an 0-3 ATS trailing them. This team is streaky at best, and right now there’s no streak to speak of.

NFL Week 16 Picks – Denver +3.0

Washington Redskins @ Jacksonville Jaguars -7.0

Rex Grossman came alive against Dallas last weekend. Can he do it against Jacksonville? Not likely. Jacksonville suffered its first loss against the betting line in seven tries last weekend thanks to a botched onside kick return touchdown when playing at Indianapolis. They haven’t been that mistake prone all month and will get back on the horse when playing the Redskins. You can’t undersell just how much this Washington team is abandoning Mike Shanahan and a failed comeback against Dallas did nothing to help matters.

NFL Week 16 Picks – Jacksonville -7.0

Tennessee Titans @ Kansas City Chiefs -5.0

I trust the Tennessee Titans as much as I trust myself hopped up on egg nog at a Christmas party. At 1-6 SU and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games, nothing has gone right for them aside from a game against Houston. Kansas is a killer team at home where they’re 5-0 SU and this team is dialed in for a playoff run after seeing Matt Cassel play through a recent surgery to remove his appendix. Take Kansas in your NFL Week 16 picks without a worry. Their defense will make everyone remember why the Titans are not a good play this weekend.

NFL Week 16 Picks – Kansas City -5.0

Indianapolis Colts -2.5 @ Oakland Raiders

The Indianapolis Colts are poised to be the biggest bust team of the year if they can’t make the playoffs. Injuries aside, this is actually a pretty good matchup for them. People have been touting Oakland all week, but don’t bit on the hype. Jacksonville, Miami and Pittsburgh all made the Raiders look like fools in the passing game and with Manning putting everything on the line this weekend, the Raiders are a definitive stay away despite having the home field advantage in NFL Week 16 picks.
