The NFL Week 16 schedule could see the Detroit Lions ending one of the longest droughts in the league. With a Christmas Eve victory at Minnesota over the Vikings, the NFC North-leading Lions would clinch their first division title since 1993.

Among three Christmas Day games is a potential Super Bowl preview on MNF, as the NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers play host to the AFC North-leading Baltimore Ravens.

The Week 16 TNF game features a pair of 7-7 clubs, as the resurgent Los Angeles Rams tangle with the New Orleans Saints, who own a share of the NFC South lead.

The 49ers are favorites in the Super Bowl odds at +230.

Saints vs Rams Early Odds & Predictions

The Rams are looking like a juggernaut of late. They’ve gone 4-0 ATS in their last four games and hit the over in all four games.

When the Saints covered on Sunday against the New York Giants, it was just the second time that’s happened over the club’s past six games. New Orleans is 2-4 ATS through the club’s past six road games.

Pick: Rams -3 (-115)

Opening Ravens vs 49ers Odds & Predictions

What a holiday gift the NFL is giving bettors by pitting the Ravens at the 49ers in a Christmas evening MNF tilt. These two teams already met once in the Super Bowl and it’s not a stretch to suggest it could happen again this season.

The Ravens are a solid 4-1 SU and 3-2 ATS on the road this season entering their Week 15 SNF game at Jacksonville. San Francisco is 5-1 SU at home, but just 3-3 ATS.

Pick: Ravens +4 (-110)

Expected Week 15 Line Movement

It’s going to fascinating watching the NFL public betting splits unfold on the Cowboys at Dolphins game. Miami is a dreadful 0-3 ATS this season when facing opponents with winning records.

However, the Cowboys are an unimpressive 3-4 ATS as a road team. But at least Dallas has shown some success in this scenario. Look for the people be backing the ‘boys.

Pick: Cowboys +1.5 (-110)
