NFL Week 16 houses all the games from December 21 to December 25 with most games occurring on Christmas Day.
Starting the games off on December 21 with Saints at Rams, games continue into the weekend on Saturday December 23, giving us two games on Saturday with Bengals at Steelers and Bills at Chargers.
On December 24, we get Colts at Atlanta, Packers at Panthers, Browns at Texans, Lions at Vikings, Commanders at Jets, Seahawks at Titans, Jaguars at Buccaneers, Cardinals at Bears, Dolphins at Cowboys, and Patriots at Broncos.
The Saints at Rams kick off the holiday game series on Thursday December 21. This game should be decent after a tough loss to Green Bay with a banged up Matthew Stafford.
The Rams hope to bounce back, but the Saints are no push over. With a top 10 defense ranking, the Saints pose a threat to a Rams team on the decline, but this game could go any way.
Going into the weekend on December 23, we have a tough Bengals team vs a young but talented Steelers group. After a dominant win in week 9 vs the Bills, the Bengals look good, but the Steelers not so much. It’s been rough for the Steelers, and it makes sense the Bengals will most likely win this big AFC North match-up.
December 24 is when most games will be happening, and these are some of the more lackluster games. Colts at Atlanta will be a battle of two mediocre teams who will most likely go to the more talented and better-coached Colts.
The Packers at the Panthers game will be an indifferent match-up as two are developing teams with the Panthers being one of the worst in the NFL. An okay Packers team this game is not a highlight of this weekend, and the Packers should pull away.
Continuing with the lackluster games, there is the Cardinals at Bears game that includes two terrible teams with a Cardinal team that can only pray that quarterback Kyler Murray comes back to help in this game, which is unlikely.
The Patriots at Broncos night game is not looking good as two underwhelming teams will compete. This will not be one not to watch, but the Broncos most likely will earn the win.
Leading into the better games of December 24 is Commanders at Jets. This should be a decent game as the Jets are consistently exciting to watch while the Commanders will provide a good match-up that is hard to judge as of now.
Lions at Vikings will be a great game as the numbers one and two teams in the NFC North will battle it out. The Lions are on a roll, making this look like the Lions should pull away from the battered Vikings.
Continuing with the intriguing games, we have Browns at Texans which should be fun as Texans’ quarterback C.J Stroud is killing it while the Browns are hunting for a playoff spot. This will most likely go the Browns’ way while the Titans can’t the same at the Seahawks as the Seahawks should dominate.
The best game will end the holiday weekend with Cowboys at Miami with two great teams. This is one to watch closely as the Dolphins will most likely pull away. Because these two teams are hunting for good seeding, this is a very important must watch game.
These holiday games are fun and 100% worth watching. Most games are on FOX or CBS, and Thursday night is on Prime. This week of games will be perfect to watch with friends and family as the holiday season is in full effect.
