Writer’s NFL First Half Picks for the Week 16
Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs -2
Saturday, December 21st, 2024
Andy Reid is going to have the sheet working big time in this one.
The Houston Texans’ defense hasn’t been up to the task in recent weeks.
So we should expect KC and Mahomes to go right after DeMeco Ryans’ D.
Also, the Chiefs’ defense will find ways to pressure CJ Stroud and Houston’s offense.
The Chiefs head to halftime with at least a 3 points lead.
NFL Week 16 1st Half Pick: Kansas City Chiefs
Pittsburgh Steelers +2 at Baltimore Ravens
Sunday, December 22nd, 2024
The Ravens are a solid bunch.
But guess who is leading the NFC North? Yep, Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers’ squad.
Not only that, but we should be honest about this game.
As good as Lamar is, Tomlin has always found a way to temper his extreme skills.
Also, Steel Town is playing great ball on both sides, offense and defense.
NFL Week 16 1st Half Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers
Arizona Cardinals at Carolina Panthers +2
Sunday, December 22nd, 2024
The Panthers are playing decent football these days.
Arizona can be up and down.
Not only that but the game happens in Carolina where Bryce Young and his mates should have the edge.
The Panthers’ D will manage to get to Kyler Murray a couple of times.
If Chuba Hubbard gets going, Zona’s possessions will be limited, especially in the first half.
NFL Week 16 1st Half Pick: Carolina Panthers
Philadelphia Eagles -2 at Washington Commanders
Sunday, December 22nd, 2024
It’s tough to go against the Eagles in this game.
Philly has the better offense overall but even if Jayden Daniels gets the Commanders offense going, the Philadelphia defense will do enough to temper Washington’s ability to win the first half.
Jalen Hurts and his mates and his mates should have no trouble moving the ball versus the Commanders’ D.
Eagles win the first 30 minutes.
NFL Week 16 1st Half Pick: Philadelphia Eagles
San Francisco 49ers at Miami Dolphins Even
Sunday, December 22nd, 2024
The ATS line is Miami -1.5, which implies an even first half against the spread. (Check out our NFL ATS Week 16 betting picks)
If the line holds, this is a no brainer.
Tua at home at even in the first half versus a San Francisco team that could be riding out the regular season to regroup for 2025?
Looks like easy money, which has me worried but, sometimes, what’s right in front of our faces is just that, what’s right in front of our faces.
NFL Week 16 1st Half Pick: Miami Dolphins
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys +2
Sunday, December 22nd, 2024
Buccaneers versus Boys is a tough game to handicap until we consider that Cooper Rush and the Dallas offense has played well and Tampa can’t stop the pass.
Baker will do what he can but the Cowboys, like so many dogs at home, step it up on their field.
It’s tough to go against Dallas in this situation.
Mayfield may rally his side for the win but in the first half Cooper leads the Boys to an ATS victory.
NFL Week 16 1st Half Pick: Dallas Cowboys

How does it work?
What type of bets can you do on NFL First Half betting lines?
When betting on NFL first half betting lines, there are several types of wagers you can consider to maximize your chances of success.
The most common options include first half moneyline bets, where you bet on which team will be leading at halftime, and first half point spread bets, which focus on how much one team will be ahead or behind at the break. Another popular option is the first half over/under, where you bet on the total combined points for both teams in the first half, based on predicted offensive output and defensive strengths.
Make sure to keep an eye on NFL odds and betting lines for the first half, as they often differ from full-game lines and can offer unique opportunities depending on how teams typically perform in the opening 30 minutes.
