BlueBet previews the NFL Week 16<\/strong> action below. Read on for our best bets per game and an overview of the feature games this week.<\/p>\n

\n

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers<\/h3>\n

Date:<\/strong> Sunday 12:30 pm. Venue:<\/strong> Green Bay
\nOdds:<\/strong> Packers $4.30, Vikings $1.24<\/a><\/p>\n

The Packers host the Vikings on Sunday at Green Bay. We’ll provide a betting preview of the game below.<\/p>\n

Form Guide:<\/h3>\n

The Vikings head to Green Bay after thrashing the Bengals last week. They\u2019ve won the NFC North and will be looking to enter the playoffs with winning form.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the Packers can\u2019t make the playoffs and have sent Aaron Rodgers to the injured reserve. They battled hard against the Panthers last week and will try to upset the Vikings playoff prep in their last home game of the season.<\/p>\n

Head to Head Record:<\/h3>\n

The Vikings beat the Packers 23-10 in the first meeting of the season. They\u2019ve won 3 of the last 4 clashes as well.<\/p>\n

Point Spread:<\/h3>\n

In the point spread, the Vikings start as 9 point favourites. We believe the Vikings will be confident of covering this. They\u2019re 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games and beat the Packers by 13 points in the last meeting. The Packers are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 home games and it’s hard to see them scoring against the tough Vikings D.
\nBest bet: Vikings -9 ($1.90)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Total Points:<\/h3>\n

Looking at the weather in Green Bay, there\u2019s a chance of snow and that means low scoring. The under is 5-1 in the last 6 games between the sides and with the weather impact, we\u2019ll be taking it again here.
\nBest bet: Under 40.5 points ($1.92)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/h3>\n

Vikings HT\/FT ($1.50)<\/a><\/strong>
\nIn the end, the Vikings can lock up a bye in the playoffs with a win here and that\u2019ll be enough motivation. The Packers are out of the playoffs and will try for an upset, but it\u2019s hard to back them without Rodgers.<\/p>\n

\n

Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys<\/h3>\n

Date:<\/strong> Monday 8:30 am. Venue:<\/strong> Arlington
\nOdds:<\/strong> Cowboys $1.44, Seahawks $2.89<\/a><\/p>\n

The Cowboys host the Seahawks on Monday at Arlington. We’ll provide a betting preview of the game below.<\/p>\n

Form Guide:<\/h3>\n

Seattle are coming off their worst performance of the season as they lost 42-7 against the Rams. If they can\u2019t beat the Cowboys, it\u2019s season over so this is a crucial game.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys won on the road by 3 points against Raiders and kept their faint playoff hopes alive. They return home against the Seahawks and will be looking to keep their 3 game winning streak alive.<\/p>\n

Head to Head Record:<\/h3>\n

The two sides last met in 2015 and the Seahawks won by a point, 13-12. But in Dallas, the Cowboys are just ahead 3-2 in the head to head.<\/p>\n

Point Spread:<\/h3>\n

After last week, the Cowboys will start as favourites in the spread at home. They have covered this line in 7 of the last 9 games against the Seahawks. Seattle have been poor on the road recently and it\u2019s hard to see an improvement in Dallas.
\nBest bet: Cowboys -4.5 ($1.92)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Total Points:<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re going for a low scoring contest here. The Seahawks are 4-1 against the under on the road and managed just 7 points in their last game. The under is also 4-1 when the Cowboys play at home against them.
\nBest bet: Under Total Points ($TBA)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/h3>\n

Cowboys HT\/FT ($1.90)<\/a><\/strong>
\nWe\u2019ll be sticking with the home side in this matchup. The Cowboys will have enough points in them and their defence is strong.<\/p>\n

\n

Oakland Raiders at Philadelphia Eagles<\/h3>\n

Date:<\/strong> Tuesday 12:30 pm. Venue:<\/strong> Philadelphia
\nOdds:<\/strong> Eagles $1.24, Raiders $4.30<\/a><\/p>\n

The Eagles host the Raiders on Tuesday at Philadelphia. We’ll provide a betting preview of the game below.<\/p>\n

Form Guide:<\/h3>\n

The Raiders season is over at 6-8 but they\u2019ll look for an upset against the Eagles here. They were unlucky last week against the Cowboys in a 20-17 result and face another NFC East team.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia got the job done against the Giants once again and control their playoff destiny. Nick Foles tossed 4 touchdowns in replacement of Carson Wentz and he\u2019ll look to continue the momentum.<\/p>\n

Head to Head Record:<\/h3>\n

The two teams last met in 2013 and the Eagles won 49-20. They haven’t played each other in Philadelphia since 2005 and the Eagles also won 23-20 on that occasion.<\/p>\n

Point Spread:<\/h3>\n

The line is in the Eagles favour again as they have a 6-0 record at home. But as the Raiders showed last week, they can keep games close. They\u2019ve also covered in 4 of the last 5 games against the Eagles.
\nBest bet: Raiders +9 ($1.92)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Total Points:<\/h3>\n

The Raiders aren\u2019t a high scoring team and they\u2019re 5-0 against the under in their last 5 games overall. However, the Eagles have been a great scoring side at home and they\u2019ve scored 30+ in 4 of their last 5 games. On defence, they\u2019ve also allowed 32 average points in their last 2 games.
\nBest bet: Over 46.5 points ($1.82)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/h3>\n

Eagles HT\/FT ($1.50)<\/a><\/strong>
\nThe Eagles are undefeated at home this season and didn\u2019t have trouble scoring with Nick Foles under centre last week.<\/p>\n
