Fontaine's 5 NFL Week 16 Picks & Falcons Feature

It’s your favorite fantasy fanatics—Reeky Fontaine back at it at Fontaine’s 5, where we do the research and you win the cash. This week, I’ve got some juicy picks to keep you covered, from the Eagles to the Bucs, plus a deep dive into the Falcons-Giants matchup. So buckle up, cash crew, because we’re cooking up some winners!

The Picks

Pick 1: Eagles -3.5

The Eagles have been flying high, and there's no need to overthink this one. They’re built for a playoff push and ready to handle business. Keep it simple and ride with Philly!

Pick 2: Bills -14

Buffalo Chix is rippin' right now! Josh Allen is in MVP mode, leading his squad to the 2-seed. They’ve been demolishing competition, and even as monster favorites against the Pats, I expect them to dominate. Drake Maye and the Patriots? Nah. Lock in the Bills.

Pick 3: Falcons -8.5

ATL, stand up! Michael Penix Jr. is officially the starter, and as a lifelong Falcons fan, this is the most hyped I’ve been in years. Against Drew Lock and the Giants’ struggling offense, Atlanta’s weapons will shine. The Falcons will lock this one down. Rise up!

Pick 4: Seahawks +3

Minnesota’s been flirting with disaster all year. They’re talented but shaky. Seattle, on the other hand, is a team you can trust at home in a messy NFC West playoff race. With three points in your pocket, this is too good to pass up.

Pick 5: Bucs -3.5

Tampa Bay is heating up! Baker Mayfield’s squad has won four straight, and I’m loving their vibe. Against Dallas and Cooper Rush, the Bucs' defense will bring the heat. Florida fam, this one’s for you!

Giants at Falcons Betting Picks

Let’s get into this NFC showdown. Drew Lock starting for the Giants? Say less. Atlanta is poised to keep their foot on the gas. Here are the key plays:

Drew Lock over 17.5 rush yards (-115 DK Sportsbook)

When passing isn’t your thing, what do you do? You run. Drew Lock scrambled for at least 57 yards in his last two starts and will likely stay under pressure against the Falcons' defense. With a shaky O-line, Lock’s legs are his only escape.

Bijan Robinson over 18.5 rush attempts (-122 FD Sportsbook)

Bijan has been a workhorse. After averaging at least 19 carries in six of his last eight games (including back-to-back 22+ carry performances), expect the Falcons to rely on him heavily. With Penix making his debut, it’s all about that ground-and-pound attack.

Malik Nabers over 68.5 receiving yards (-115 DK Sportsbook)

Despite all the Giants’ struggles, Malik Nabers has been a shining star. Targeted 14 times last week, he hauled in 10 catches for 82 yards and a TD. Against a Falcons defense that’s tied for the fifth-most receptions allowed, Nabers is primed for another big day. Smash this prop.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re riding with the Birds, trusting Josh Allen’s MVP case, or hopping on the ATL train, this week’s slate is dripping with opportunity. As always, bet smart, and remember—you can’t win if you don’t lock.

Let’s cash these tickets, Fontaine’s 5 fam! Good luck, and may your bankrolls be blessed. See you on the next one!
