2023 NFL Week 16 odds, best bets: Look for Miami to score big, Eagles to cover

Co-Host of THE HERD and FOX Sports Betting Analyst

Only three Sundays are left in the NFL’s regular season, and we’ve got at least one nice gift on this weekend’s holiday betting slate. 

For the Game of the Week, the Dallas Cowboys are featured again for the second week in a row. They’re heading to Miami this time to take on the Dolphins on FOX and the FOX Sports app. 

I made the right choice by fading the Cowboys last week. Do you think I’m fading America’s Team again?

Speaking of last week, I ended up a solid 3-0-1, pushing me to 65 percent this season (50-29-2). 

Let’s keep this going! Here are my best bets for Week 16.

All times ET

Cowboys @ Dolphins (4:25 p.m., FOX and FOX Sports App)

This is a fascinating matchup of two teams that can’t beat anyone good. They are bullies against inferior teams and then get pushed around against contenders. 

Miami’s offensive line is banged up, which could lead to problems in their zone run game. If you watched the 49ers browbeat the Cowboys earlier this season, Miami’s Mike McDaniel runs a very similar offense, having spent five seasons there.

If Dallas DT Jonathan Hankins (knee/ankle) doesn’t play, we saw what happens to this defense against the run (see: Buffalo loss). And Dan Quinn’s man-to-man defense against the speed of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle carries massive risk. 

Back-to-back road games in December aren’t ideal for a Dallas team that hasn’t had a bye since Week 7. 

PICK: Dolphins (-1) to win by more than 1 point
