2025 NFL Monday Night Football Week 16 Betting Lines

NFL Monday Night Football Betting

He won’t be the NFL’s MVP this season but the Indianapolis Colts are seeing just how important Daniel Jones was to their success. The Colts won eight of their first 10 games and had a nice lead in the AFC South until the roof caved in. Jones was lost for the season a few weeks in a loss to Jacksonville; one setback in the middle of four straight that has dropped Indy out of the AFC playoff picture. Backup Riley Leonard was also injured forcing the club to bring Philip Rivers out of retirement.

Rivers is expected to start when the Colts host the streaking San Francisco 49ers in the Week 16 edition of Monday Night Football. With four straight victories the Niners continue to put pressure on the Rams and Seahawks in the NFC West, arguably the toughest division in football with three teams winning at least 10 games and currently in a playoff spot. The game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Dec. 22 and will air on ABC and ESPN.

49ers at Colts Betting Preview

The 49ers have taken advantage of a soft spot in their schedule to stay within striking distance of first place in the NFC West. Their current 4-game winning streak came after a brutal 43-26 home loss to the Rams and included wins over Arizona, Carolina, Cleveland and Tennessee. None of those clubs has a winning record and they boast a combined ledger of 15-41.

The Niners are winning the games they need to and doing it handily. Each win during their current streak was by more than 10 points with an average margin of 15.3 points. That allowed them to go on a nice run at the betting window with payouts in all four contests. The Niners won and covered their last three road games and are 6-2 SU and ATS away from home this season.

The current run coincided with the return of Brock Purdy to the lineup. Purdy missed six of the first eight games of the season, but he’s healthy now leading a unit that’s averaged 31 points during the winning streak. Since returning Purdy has completed nearly 70 percent of his passes with eight TDs and three interceptions. All three picks came in the 20-9 win over Carolina in Week 12.

Despite the loss of top defenders Fred Warner and Nick Bosa earlier in the year the unit has held its own. During their winning streak they held two opponents to less than 10 points and for the season they are 10th in scoring defense and 18th in total defense. The Niners have played OVER the total seven times with a push in their past 11 games.

Not long ago the Colts led the NFL in scoring averaging more than 30 points. They failed to score more than 20 points using three different starting QBs in their last four games. And the Colts have turned to a 44-year-old just out of retirement to turn the offense, and the season, around. Rivers nearly did it last week in Seattle throwing a TD pass that gave Indy the lead. Overall, though, the offense was sedated in the 18-16 loss. Rivers had just 120 yards passing and the Colts amassed a season-low 215 yards.

The defense held up its end of the deal not allowing a TD and holding the Seahawks to 2 of 13 on third down plays. That allowed the Colts to stay within the 13-point spread for just their second payout in the last six games. They also played UNDER the total for the third time in their last four games. Moving forward the Colts will need to rely on a defense that’s been above average. The group gives up a lot of yards but keeps points off the board allowing an average of 21.6.

A majority of games between the clubs took place prior to the 1970 NFL/AFL merger with the teams clashing 34 times. This will be only the 12th meeting since 1970 with the Colts winning the last five and registering three consecutive payouts.

Betting Rules & Policies

Free Play Rules

  • Free plays cannot be used on proposition bets.
  • Free Plays do not earn any BetPoints
  • Bets made using Free Plays do not count towards completing any rollovers. (Free Plays are always subject to a rollover of their own. You must complete the required rollover prior to making a withdrawal).
  • The maximum payout for any Free Play is $5,000.
  • Free Plays that are left unused for 180 days will be removed from your account.

ROLLOVER

  • Did you know that on all deposits made at BookMaker, there is a rollover requirement: an amount of betting action you must fulfill before you are eligible to make a withdrawal.
  • Did you know that rollovers are calculated by multiplying the amount initially credited to your account a certain number of times? Yes! If you deposit without claiming any bonus, the rollover will always be 1x (one-time) your deposit amount. If you do claim a deposit bonus, the rollover will be higher and is based on the deposit plus bonus amount.

Wager disputes (claims)

If you disagree with any aspect of a wager you’ve placed, you are welcome to log an official dispute (commonly known as a “claim”). Claims must be reported no later than 15 (fifteen) calendar days following the settlement of the wager.

If following an initial review of the case there remains any doubt regarding the wager type, line, market, amount, or any other detail, the claim will be escalated to the BookMaker management team. All decisions made by them are final.

Wager Cash Out - How it works

With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.

Cash Out is selectively available on certain events, fixtures, and markets.

In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.

It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
