With three weeks remaining in the 2024 NFL season, three of the four divisions in the AFC have already been decided, but all four divisions in the NFC are still up for grabs. The Eagles (12-2) can become the first team to secure a home playoff game on Sunday when they visit the Commanders (9-5) for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Philadelphia is favored by 3.5 on the road in the latest Week 16 NFL odds, up a half-point from the opener, while the over-under is 45.5. The latest Eagles vs. Commanders forecast is calling for sunny skies and temperatures around 30. Who should you back in that game and how should you handle all your NFL money line, NFL over-under and NFL against the spread spread picks? Before you make any Week 16 NFL picks and Week 16 NFL score predictions, you need to see the NFL against the spread, NFL over-under, and NFL money line predictions powered by the self-learning SportsLine AI.
Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine’s Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each game. The AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each team’s historical data and then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponent’s defense by assigning a numeric value out of 100 called a matchup score.
Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see an A-rating on an over bet if a team is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.
In addition, SportsLine AI is the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine. It continuously refreshes on the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines. SportsLine’s AI PickBot has hit a whopping 2,131 4.5- and 5-star prop picks since the start of last season. Anyone who has followed it is way up at their best sports betting app and favorite betting sites.
For Week 16 NFL betting, the AI PickBot has evaluated the NFL odds and provided NFL betting picks for all 16 games. You can only see the AI predictions for the Week 16 NFL schedule here.
Top Week 16 NFL AI picks
After analyzing every game in Week 16, the AI PickBot says the Cowboys cover comfortably as 4-point home underdogs against the Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football in a game with an over-under of 48.5. After starting the season with Super Bowl aspirations, Dallas hit the skids in the middle of the season with a five-game losing streak but the franchise has showed some fight of late.
Cooper Rush has led the team to wins in three of four, including wins as outright underdogs against the Commanders and Panthers. The Dallas running game has come alive with Rico Dowdle emerging from a backfield timeshare as the most productive back on the roster. Dowdle has rushed for at least 100 yards in three straight games, becoming the first undrafted running back to do so since Arian Foster in 2014.
The Buccaneers rank 22nd in the NFL in yards allowed per carry (4.5), so we could see another heavy dosage of Dowdle on Sunday. That’s part of the reason why AI PickBot rates a Cowboys cover as an A+ pick and also predicts a 35-29 outright win on average for Dallas.
