Week 15 might have been the craziest week we’ve seen thus far in 2022. On Saturday, we had the Colts surrender the biggest lead in NFL history as the Vikings stormed back after falling into a 33-0 deficit at halftime. Then, we had the Jags upset the Cowboys in overtime, and the Chiefs survived an upset of their own with an OT win in Houston. Of course, there was also the inexplicable lateral by the Patriots that was caught by Chandler Jones and returned for a touchdown to give the Raiders a win at the buzzer. Needless to say, it was a doozy of a weekend in the NFL.
While we still have one more game to go between the Packers and Rams on Monday night, let’s take our first glimpse of all the Week 16 matchups and get our impression of the opening lines to see if there is anything they can tell us about who the oddsmakers see coming out on top.
Note: All games are on Saturday, Dec. 24 unless stated otherwise.
Week 16 early odds
(All lines from Caesars Sportsbook)
Jaguars (6-9) at Jets (7-7), Thursday
Featured Game | New York Jets vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Opening line: Jets -2.5
After opening as a 2.5-point favorite at home, this line has now drawn even between the Jaguars and Jets. Jacksonville is making a late-season push to snatch the AFC South from the Titans and pulled off an overtime win over the Cowboys on Sunday to pull within a game of first place in the division. A big piece of this surge by the Jags has been the emergence of Trevor Lawrence, who has a 111.2 passer rating and a 70.4 completion percentage in the last six games to go along with 14 touchdowns and one pick. Jacksonville is also 4-1-1 ATS over that stretch. Meanwhile, New York also needs this game to remain in the playoff conversation, especially after falling to the Lions at home.
