TheLines.com: Pandemic weighs on NFL’s Week 16 schedule
The holiday weekend will bring with it an uncertainty in the NFL schedule that oddsmakers haven’t seen since the 2020 season, according to TheLines.com, which tracks odds in the U.S. regulated sports betting market.
Eight teams have yet to play in Week 15 after COVID-19 outbreaks pushed three games into Monday and Tuesday — Las Vegas Raiders at Cleveland Browns, Seattle Seahawks at the Los Angeles Rams, and Washington Redskins at the Philadelphia Eagles joining the regularly scheduled Monday Night matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears. Those late games put half the NFL Week 16 schedule on relative standby as oddsmakers await Week 15 to play out.
As we stand, five games have double-digit spreads, including two that have significant playoff implications, and six have spreads of 3.5 or lower, according to a consensus of that nation’s largest legal online sportsbooks — including DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, BetRivers, Caesars, and PointsBet. And oddsmakers are expecting the potential of more outbreaks, combined with late-season injuries and winter weather, to affect scoring. Half of the Week 16 schedule has an over/under of 45 points or less and no game features a point total of 50 points or more, which if it holds would mark the first time in two seasons that not a single game would reach the 50-point over/under threshold.
“We were all hoping to put this kind of uncertainty behind us after the 2020 season brought unprecedented challenges,” said Brett Collson, lead analyst for TheLines.com. “The odds could still significantly shift this week as the pandemic rears its ugly head again. Unfortunately, that might be a fact of life for the rest of the season.”
The consensus point spreads for Week 16 games, as of Monday, Dec. 20:
- San Francisco 49ers (-3.5) at Tennessee Titans; over/under 44.5
- Cleveland Browns at Green Bay Packers (-7.5); over/under 45.5
- Indianapolis Colts at Arizona Cardinals (-1.5); over/under 49
- Detroit Lions at Atlanta Falcons (-4.5); over/under 44
- Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals (-2.5); over/under 44.5
- Los Angeles Rams (-3) at Minnesota Vikings; over/under 49
- Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots (-1.5); over/under 44
- Jacksonville Jaguars at New York Jets (-2.5); over/under 41.5
- New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles (-10); over/under 42
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-11.5) at Carolina Panthers; over/under 47.5
- Los Angeles Chargers (-10.5) at Houston Texans; over/under 47.5
- Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks (-7); over/under 43.5
- Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs (-10.5); over/under 46.5
- Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders (1.5); over/under 42.5
- Washington Football Team at Dallas Cowboys (-10); over/under 47.5
- Miami Dolphins at New Orleans Saints (-3); over/under 40

BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, announced that it is teaming up with sports gamification and content provider GTG Network (GTG) to deliver customized content and useful betting insights for sports fans. The multi-year agreement will roll out in phases, beginning with direct-to-consumer content followed by in-app product integrations.
BetMGM will use GTG’s proprietary content engine to launch the partnership, harnessing trillions of data points to share valuable market insights, player statistics and win probabilities for MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, college basketball, and college football.

BetMGM Expands Baseball Playoff Presence with League-wide Bullpen Advertisements
New BetMGM Bullpen Jackpot promotion gives bettors a shot at $50,000 in bonus bets if a player hits a home run into the bullpen
BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, will serve as the official bullpen sponsor and backdrop for some of the most electrifying moments of the 2024 MLB playoffs. Through the partnership, BetMGM signage will be visible in every stadium’s bullpen throughout the postseason.
To celebrate, BetMGM is launching the $50,000 Bullpen Jackpot for the MLB playoffs. When a player hits a home run into the bullpen, all BetMGM customers who placed a qualifying wager on that player to hit a home run that day will win a share of $50,000 in bonus bets (contest not available in Nevada or Puerto Rico; bonus bets are non-withdrawable and expire in seven days).
The new promotion provides another tool for fans to engage with the long ball at BetMGM, succeeding the successful Grand Slam Jackpot promotion which paid out $1.85 million in bonus bets during the 2024 regular season. The integration of Angstrom, Entain’s sports modeling and analytics company, allowed BetMGM to vastly increase the breadth of their home run markets this season, resulting in a 256% increase on home run bets year-over-year.
“Sponsoring the bullpen is an incredible opportunity for BetMGM to expand our brand by being front and center during key playoff action,” said Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer of BetMGM. “We already established ourselves as the home of the regular season home run, and the BetMGM Bullpen Jackpot allows us to build upon that momentum by giving customers a stake in every swing throughout the postseason.”
BetMGM will offer more markets than ever before for the 2024 playoffs, including series home runs for players, series home run leader, head-to-head matchups and more.
