How many yards will Mike Evans and Tetairoa McMillan combine for in their NFC South clash? Our analysts provide bold predictions for Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season.
For the Week 16 slate, I correctly picked 12 of the 16 games on the moneyline and was 10-5-1 ATS overall. That included a 4-1 ATS mark within my five locks of the week, with my lone loss coming via the Denver Broncos falling to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Sunday slate only includes ten games, but we get some big ones. Seahawks-Panthers, Eagles-Bills, and Bears-49ers are huge, but even Giants-Raiders in the 4 p.m. window is a big one for the draft picture.
The Bears are one of the breakout teams of 2025. They are very likely to win the NFC North after a thrilling Week 16 overtime win against the Packers. The Bears built their record in the first half of the season with a lot of close wins against bad teams, but they have played better over the past month. And they still have a shot at the No. 1 seed.
The Lions need this game to have any playoff chance, but it won't be easy on the road. Minnesota has played outstanding defense. The problem is the Vikings have rookie Max Brosmer playing for the injured J.J. McCarthy. That could be an issue, even against a Lions defense that has struggled.
It’s time to figure out your Survivor picks for the 2025 season. We’ll break down safe, value, and trap picks heading into Week 16.
