NFL Week 16 Preview and Pick: Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals



Free pick and preview of the Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals NFL Week 16 matchup on Sunday.

I had to settle for a PUSH in last week's free pick for OSGA in the New Jets' 19-16 win against Dallas as three-point road favorites. This week I have turned my attention to Sunday's featured showdown between the 10-4 Green Bay Packers and the 12-2 Arizona Cardinals. Both teams have already clinched a spot in the NFC playoffs, but they continue to fight for betting position in the final seedings.

Green Bay Packers betting oddsVietBet has listed the Packers as 4.5-point road underdogs in this matchup with the NFL betting odds for the total set at 49.5. Green Bay has been one of the better NFL teams to wager on lately at 4-1 both straight-up and against the spread in its last five games. The total has stayed UNDER in three of those contests. Following a 37-29 road loss to undefeated Carolina as 2.5-point favorites on Nov. 8, the Packers have now won their last three games on the road both SU and ATS.

They will need to bring their A Game to the desert this Sunday afternoon in an effort to get another road win that would move them a step closer to locking-up the NFC North Division title. Green Bay currently has a one-game lead over 9-5 Minnesota and it will close-out the regular season next Sunday at home against the Vikings.

In the NFL football betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated Vietbet, Arizona is the solid favorite:

Green Bay Packers  (+4.5) -110
Arizona Cardinals     (-4.5) -110

Over 49.5 points -110
Under 49.5 points -110

Arizona Cardinals free pickThe Cardinals have already laid claim to the NFC West title and one more win would earn them a first round bye. Arizona's current SU winning streak stands at eight games and despite the fact that it easily covered as a 3.5-point road favorite in last Sunday night's 40-17 romp over Philadelphia, it is still just an even 4-4 ATS during this run. The total went OVER VietBet's closing 51-point line in that game after staying UNDER in its previous three outings.

Arizona remains one of the most complete teams in the NFL this season behind a high-powered offense that is ranked second in the league in points (31.8) complementing a stingy defense that is allowing an average of only 19.2 points a game. Last Sunday against the Eagles, rookie running back David Johnson went off with 187 yards rushing and three touchdowns on 29 carries to add a whole new dimension to the Cardinals' offensive attack.

This should be a great matchup between two teams that could easily face one another again in the postseason. I think Green Bay will keep things close enough to cover VietBet's 4.5-point spread, but my top pick is the OVER 49.5 on the total line.
