NFL betting tips: Philadelphia Eagles to make it two in a row, Los Angeles Chargers to continue fine form
The Philadelphia Eagles are finally back to winning ways, with an astonishing 31-0 win over the Los Angeles Raiders as they look to rescue their season after a disastrous few weeks.
They now head to Washington, taking on the Commanders, where a win will see them clinch the NFC East division, becoming the first team to repeat as division champions for more than 20 years.
Elsewhere, the Los Angeles Rams head to Seattle as they look to protect their NFC number one seed, while the Chargers find themselves as surprising underdogs, travelling to take on the Dallas Cowboys.
Here, writing for Sports News Blitz, Travel News Blitz’s Sam Condy reveals his three favourite picks for week 16 of the NFL regular season.
Los Angeles Rams vs Seattle Seahawks
It's a clash between two of the NFL’s best this week, with both teams having excelled both offensively and defensively through the 2025 season.
QB Sam Darnold struggled in their maiden meeting earlier in the season, facing four interceptions at the hands of the Rams.
It only gets worse when you consider his lacklustre form in the games leading up to this week's mammoth meeting, facing five interceptions while throwing for just five touchdowns in his last five games.
While Seattle can usually power through without Darnold at his best, the Rams' defensive prowess means that they are going to need every offensive outlet firing at full.
As a result, I have Seattle failing at the second time of asking, while the Rams will continue to build themselves up as a real playoff threat.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Washington Commanders
The Eagles need a win, and they did so in devastating fashion last week.
A 31-0 demolition job has to have given the Philly side a much-needed confidence boost as they look to salvage an incredibly disappointing season.
Jalen Hurts threw 12 for 15 and three touchdowns last week, gave away no turnovers, and added 39 yards on the ground to his season totals.
While the Raiders are far from an elite outfit, a glittering performance may be just what the QB needed to get his season back on track.
The Birds have been elite defensively all season, but their front-foot woes have left them in a tricky situation.
However, I’m backing the Super Bowl champs to thrive during crunch time and come out on top over the Commanders.

Los Angeles Chargers vs Dallas Cowboys
This is a weird one. The Chargers have won six of their last seven and are sitting pretty in the playoff picture, while the Cowboys are currently on the brink of elimination, having lost their last two.
Yet somehow the Cowboys find themselves favourites heading into gameweek 16.
Cowboys QB, Dak Prescott, leads the league in passing yards and sits third in the touchdown rankings, passing for 26.
Yet he has been off his game of late, and as a result, the Cowboys seem to have hit a massive roadblock.
They'll need him back to his best this week, but with the Los Angeles outfit in such fine form, even if Prescott can pick things back up, I don’t think it will be enough.
As a result, I’m backing Los Angeles to make it four wins in a row.
