2024 NFL Week 16 Preview: Our Expert Tips & Staking Plan

A lot of playoff spots can be clinched tonight in the NFL, but we have a lot of games to get into today.

I will likely be adding some more picks before the games so make sure to check back.


Arizona Cardinals @ Carolina Panthers

We got burnt by the Panthers last week but we are going right back to them as they host a Cardinals team that has had some struggles.

The Panthers put up a stinker of a game against the Cowboys but they had looked so much better leading up to that game. I think the Cardinals are a better team on paper, but they are just so up and down that I never want to give this many points on the road.

Cleveland Browns @ Cincinnati Bengals



The Bengals still have an outside chance of making it into the playoffs. They need some things to go their way but they are playing some really good football and if they make it in, they’ll be the wildcard nobody will want to face.

The Browns have made a change at quarterback benching Jameis Winston for Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Unfortunately for the Browns we have seen how that has gone before. DTR has been a disaster whenever he has been on the field.

Los Angeles Rams @ New York Jets

I know the narrative around the Jets is not great, but I believe they are a much better team than the general consensus. Aaron Rodgers looks like he is finally getting close to healthy and looking somewhat like the old QB that we knew. Davante Adams is settling in nicely and there is so much talent throughout the roster.

The Rams have some stars, but no depth and I think it is the difference here.

New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills

I am a big fan of certain elements of this Patriots team, mainly Drake Maye, but this is an absolute matchup nightmare for them and I think the Bills will come away with a big win as they try and chase down the Chiefs at the top of the AFC.
