NFL Week 16 Football Bets - Added Plays

Two added plays today:

Chicago Bears -7 +101
Chicago clinches with a win. Green Bay is well… Green Bay and without Gado.

Washington Redskins -3 -117
The Redskins have been put together a nice string of wins. More importantly, they are playing at home with a healthy defense and potent offense. Also the last time the Giants spanked them, their owner had just died, and it turned into one of those “win one for the gipper” type games.

The Giants win the division with a win this week, but they don’t have to win to clinch a playoff spot on Saturday. Washington needs this one to stay in the hunt.

Other Bets this week:
Jacksonville -6 -105 Play of the Week
San Francisco 49ers +10 -115
San Francisco 49ers Money Line +438 (½ unit bet)
