Top Week 16 NFL expert picks from Jason La Canfora
La Canfora has been covering the NFL since 2004 and spent 10 years as CBS’s NFL Insider for “THE NFL TODAY” and across all platforms. He continues to cover the NFL as an analyst and insider for The Washington Post and gather information from a plethora of sources throughout the game. La Canfora is 28-22-1 in his last 51 NFL sides and has already locked in picks for multiple games throughout the weekend.
One team that La Canfora is high on is Cincinnati, which is a 9.5-point favorite against Cleveland in a game with an over/under of 46.5. The Bengals won the first meeting between these teams by a touchdown and all of their wins have come by at least seven points this season. They have covered the spread in seven of their last 10 home games against the Browns, and they are on a 15-6 ATS run overall in the rivalry. La Canfora is also high on a heavy favorite in a game where he expects the line to move even more. See all of La Canfora’s picks here.
Top Week 16 expert NFL picks from Daniel Vithlani
Vithlani is a New York-based analyst who brings a dynamic approach to his handicapping and is specializes in the NFL. He is coming off a 27-15 debut season with SportsLine (plus $1,181 for $100 players, every bet 1 unit). Danny also netted 24.8 units during the 2022 NFL season, posting every pick on Instagram. He is 55-34 in his last 89 NFL prop picks, returning nearly $2,000 for $100 bettors.
Vithlani has released his best bet for Rams (-3, 47) vs. Jets on Sunday. New York snapped a four-game losing streak with a 32-25 win at Jacksonville last week, but it has already been eliminated from the playoff picture. Los Angeles is riding a three-game winning streak as it heads on the road for the second week in a row. Vithlani expects the line to move before kickoff, so he suggests getting ahead of the line movement now. You can see Vithlani’s pick for that game and others here.
