Week 16 NFL picks for Patriots vs. Bills
Before tuning into Sunday’s Bills vs. Patriots game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine’s advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 16 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 27-11 betting hot streak on top-rated NFL picks this year. Longer term, it is on a 207-139 roll on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season and a 61-32 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of 2022.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that span. Anyone following at sportsbooks and on betting apps has seen strong returns.
For Bills vs. Patriots, the model is backing Buffalo to cover the spread. The Bills are 9-5-0 against the spread on the season and 7-3-0 ATS as a favorite. They are undefeated at home in 2024 and haven’t lost to the Patriots in Buffalo since 2021. The Bills have also scored 30 or more points in eight straight games, and are about to face the 21st overall defense in the NFL.
The Patriots have held all but four opponents to under 30 points this season, but that could be difficult to do on Sunday against a Bills team with the second-best points per game average (31.8) in the NFL. Even with a big spread, the model is backing the Bills to cover at home. You may be able to stream the game here.
