Ten teams have qualified for the NFL playoffs, while another eight are in contention for the remaining four spots.
We expect the playoff scenario to clarify by Week 17.
The clash between the Eagles and Bills could be a glimpse of the Super Bowl. Other rematches in the playoffs might include Texans-Chargers, Bears-49ers, and Seahawks-Panthers.
Pro Picks aims to keep its winning momentum:
DENVER (12-3) at KANSAS CITY (6-9)
Line: Broncos favored by 12.5 points
The Broncos, following an 11-game winning streak that was interrupted by a loss to the Jaguars, are vying for the top seed in the AFC. The Chiefs are set to play their first game at Arrowhead since announcing their relocation to Kansas in 2031. Denver’s defense is expected to cause problems for third-string QB Chris Oladokun.
BEST BET: BRONCOS: 27-6
HOUSTON (10-5) at LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (11-4)
Line: Chargers favored by 2 points
C.J. Stroud and the Texans are still in the hunt for the AFC South title. Houston’s top-ranked defense will look to bounce back after a subpar outing against the Raiders. Justin Herbert had a perfect protection week without being sacked, but this week presents a different challenge than the Cowboys.
UPSET SPECIAL: TEXANS 23-20
DALLAS (6-8-1) at WASHINGTON (4-11)
Line: Cowboys favored by 8.5 points
Dak Prescott and the Cowboys are striving to avoid a losing season, while the Commanders are playing for pride after their disappointing performance this year.
COWBOYS: 27-22
DETROIT (8-7) at MINNESOTA (7-8)
Line: Lions favored by 7 points
The Lions must win all remaining games while hoping the Packers lose twice to qualify for the playoffs. The Vikings previously defeated them in Week 9, and they’re likely without their key player J.J. McCarthy, who is injured again.
LIONS: 24-16
BALTIMORE (7-8) at GREEN BAY (9-5-1)
Line: Packers favored by 3 points
A loss would eliminate the Ravens from contention. Lamar Jackson is coping with a back injury while Jordan Love is attempting to recover from a concussion, and backup Malik Willis has also sustained an injury. If Jackson plays, the desperate Ravens may have a fighting chance.
RAVENS: 22-20
ARIZONA (3-12) at CINCINNATI (5-10)
Line: Bengals favored by 7 points
The Cardinals could see a coaching shakeup after Jonathan Gannon’s third consecutive losing season. Similarly, the Bengals are in a precarious situation with coach Zac Taylor, while quarterback Joe Burrow’s demeanor in Cincinnati seems less than enthusiastic.
BENGALS: 27-23
