Bet 49ers at Dolphins in NFL Week 16 Predictions, Lines & Pick

There are now just 3 weeks remaining in the NFL regular season, and with the playoff spots starting to fill up, it is getting to be panic time for the teams on the outside looking on.

While there are a lot of teams still in survival mode, the reality is that for a few of them, another loss will almost certainly mean the end of the road, no matter how creative people want to get with the math.

Bet 49ers at Dolphins in NFL Week 16 Analysis

This matchup features a pair of teams who are in that position, with both San Francisco and Miami on the brink of elimination.

Injuries have hurt them both this season, and you have to wonder just how much gas is left in the tank.

The bookies see this one as close, with the Dolphins in as a 1 point favorite. The total is set at 44 ½.

San Francisco 49ers Odds and Trends

The season would have long since been over for the 49ers were it not for the fact that the West was down overall.

That said, we are seeing the Rams and the Cardinals winning late, which means that the 49ers are now at the bottom of the division.

They need to win out and hope for a lot of help to get into the playoffs, so it looks now as though the end is inevitable.

The 49ers are 6-8 overall and have just 1 win in their last 5 games. They are also just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road trips.

The OVER has hit in 4 of their last 5 conference games. After this weekend, San Francisco has 2 games remaining, and those are:

Vs Lions
At Cardinals

At this stage of the proceedings, it would take nothing short of a miracle for the 49ers to win their way into the playoffs, and I don’t believe in miracles.

Miami Dolphins Odds and Trends

The Miami Dolphins have the same 6-8 record as their opponent this weekend. They are 2 wins back of the final spot in the AFC playoff standings, so just like the 49ers, they need to win out and hope for a collapse from the teams ahead of them.

Since Tua returned from injury, the Dolphins have been better, winning 4 of their last 6 games, but the hole that they had dug for themselves prior to that streak probably condemned their season.

Week 16 has been kind to the Dolphins, as they have won 4 of their last 5 in this portion of the season.

They have not been a very good spread bet, though, covering just 5 times in their last 17 games. In their last 5 games at home, the OVER has hit all 5 times. Here are their remaining games after this one:

At Browns
At Jets

The remaining games for the Dolphins are all the winnable variety, but they will need some help if they are to win their way into the postseason.
