NFL Week 16 Early Best Bets & Analysis by SternBets

This has got to be the season of high-variance outcomes where truly any team can win in any given week. It was shocking that the Chiefs are not going to be in the playoffs and that Patrick Mahomes now has to have surgery on an ACL (& LCL) injury which means that he might not even be back at the start of next season. The other big injury news was Micah Parsons who also is out from an ACL injury, makes the Packers essentially the same team as last year where they should no longer be a favorite in the Super Bowl Bubble. Christian Watson being banged up also puts a huge damper on the Packers outlook as he had become Jordan Loves clean number one and was able to stretch the defenses like no-one else on the team seems to be able to, but the injury wasn’t deemed that serious so hopefully he can come back by playoffs. Looking forward to another great week in the NFL as we start closing down, have an awesome week and check back throughout the week for new picks.
