The POD staff make their predictions for the Week 16 slate of games in the NFL.
We’re entering the final stretch of NFL football, and with just three weeks left, wins are at a premium as teams make their push in playoff and divisional races. Here at Pride of Detroit, our staff have made their picks for not only Thursday night’s game, but the entire slate of Week 16 games.
This week, we get yet another divisional showdown for “Thursday Night Football” between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers. That heated AFC West rivalry kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime Video.
The NFL is serving up a couple of games in a special Saturday slot—and all four of these teams will also be playing on Christmas Day next Wednesday. First, on NBC/Peacock at 1:00 p.m. ET, the Houston Texans head to Missouri for a game against the top-ranked team in football, the Kansas City Chiefs. That game is followed up by another heavyweight matchup between AFC North rivals: the Baltimore Ravens host the Pittsburgh Steelers with divisional title implications on FOX at 4:30 p.m. ET.
No more bye weeks, so the rest of the NFL is back to work on Sunday with 12 games scheduled.
On Sunday afternoon, Michigan viewers can tune in to CBS for a matchup between former NFC North quarterbacks when the Los Angeles Rams and New York Jets kickoff at 1:00 p.m. ET. FOX will counter with the local game at 1:00 p.m. ET: Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears.
At 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS has the only matchup of the late afternoon when AFC East rivals, the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills, square off from upstate New York.
NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” features the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. the Dallas Cowboys at 8:20 p.m. ET.
ESPN and ABC is back to just one offering of “Monday Night Football.” The New Orleans Saints travel north for a game against the Green Bay Packers at 8:15 p.m. ET.
As we have done in past seasons, our staff will be making weekly predictions for every game on the NFL schedule. Each of the Pride of Detroit staff will pick the moneyline (winner of the game, no spread), but some of the members will also pick against the spread and even the over/under lines—there’s an easy toggle button in the widget below to cycle through the settings. You can also check out all of the odds for this week’s games courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.
Here is who our staff is picking on the moneyline, spread, and over/under for all 16 games on the NFL Week 16 schedule:
