TheLines.com: Pandemic weighs on NFL’s Week 16 schedule

Published

on

 

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

Boldplay™, the casino software supplier, has announced its much-anticipated U.S. debut after teaming up with BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, and providing its first set of games Cyborg City, Toro Bravo™, and Gold Metal Ox™.

The new partnership will see Boldplay’s extensive collection of innovative video slots, table games, virtual scratch and keno titles become available to customers in the U.S. market for the very first time, enabling countless players to experience the brand’s signature range of bonus features and jackpots.

Notable highlights to come out of the studio include Boldplay Spins™ – a unique twist on Free Spins that sees the reels spin both vertically and horizontally to create more winning pay lines – and the brand’s flagship jackpot, the Boldplay Superpot™, which gives players of all bankroll levels a chance to win big.

The exclusive nature of the deal will also see BetMGM gain a significant market advantage in the U.S., where it will initially be the only platform able to offer Boldplay™ games. Given these titles have already garnered plenty of critical acclaim from players and operators across Europe, their presence at BetMGM will be a huge draw and will help the platform further enhance its standing in the industry.

This latest collaboration represents another significant step in Boldplay’s evolution from up-and-coming studio to one of the industry’s most sought-after software providers and will allow the brand to extend its reach into new regulated markets – a move CEO, Valli Fragoso, is clearly optimistic about.

“Boldplay™ is thrilled to announce that we’re teaming up with BetMGM in an exclusive partnership that will see our games be made available in the U.S. for the very first time,” she said. “By joining forces with such a prestigious operator, we’ll be able to raise the profile of our brand in the country as we continue to expand and we’re looking forward to what should be a hugely successful collaboration.”
