Week 16 game-by-game predictions: Consensus favorites rule this week in the NFL

The penultimate week in the 2018 season has some heavy favorites.

NFL: Houston Texans at New York Jets Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

We are closing in on the end of the 2018 NFL regular season. Two weeks left and our annual pick’em contest is being ruled by OCC (150-73). He has a comfortable lead of seven games and will cruise to the title. But there is a heated contest happening for second place between Michael Strawn (143-80), Dave Halprin (142-81) and Tom Ryle (141-82).

Week 16 has a ton of heavy favorites with nine games having consensus picks. The Cowboys aren’t one of them as the panel is going 9 to 1 for Dallas over Tampa Bay. The panel is taking the consensus view that Washington will lose to Tennessee, and the panel likes Houston over Philadelphia by a 7-3 count. If those last two things happened, the Cowboys wouldn’t even have to beat Tampa Bay to clinch the NFC East. Still, things would be much better if the Cowboys just went ahead and took care of their own business.

Here are all the predictions for Week 16:
