Week 16 NFL picks for Bengals vs. Patriots

Before tuning into Saturday's Patriots vs. Bengals game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up more than $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 157-113 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

For Patriots vs. Bengals, the model is picking New England to cover the spread. The Bengals haven't played as well on the road this season, with three out of their four losses happening away from home. Even in last week's road victory against the Bucs in Tampa Bay, the Bengals largely benefitted from the home team making costly turnovers in the second half.

Meanwhile, the Patriots are desperate to secure a playoff spot and are eager to get the taste of last week's loss to the Raiders out of their mouths. The model is tapping New England to rise to the occasion and keep Saturday's game tight. You may be able to stream the game here.
