Week 16 Vegas Odds
Las Vegas has released the odds for Week 16 in the NFL, which features a pair of pivotal games in each conference, including the Steelers’ clash with the Ravens.
Oddsmakers from MGM Mirage have made the Pittsburgh Steelers 2.5-point favorites over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. Both teams are still alive in the AFC playoff race, although the Ravens have a more realistic shot of making the postseason at 8-6, compared to the Steelers, who are 7-7. Baltimore has already beaten Pittsburgh once this season.
On Thursday night, the AFC West champion San Diego Chargers are 3-point underdogs against the Tennessee Titans, who are still holding onto their slim playoff hopes. The Titans need to win out, as well as have lots of help if they want to make the postseason. With Vince Young under center and Chris Johnson in the backfield, they have a shot.
The Sunday night matchup this week pits the Dallas Cowboys against their NFC East rivals, the Washington Redskins. Oddsmakers have made the Cowboys 7-point favorites over the Redskins, who were absolutely crushed by the Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 15.
The Week 16 Monday night matchup features NFC North rivals the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears. The Vikings are still hoping to clinch one of the top two spots in the NFC, but will need to rebound after losing last Sunday night in Carolina. Oddsmakers have made the hapless Bears 7-point home underdogs.
