2024 NFL Week 16 Preview and Predictions: Part 2

(7-7) Arizona Cardinals @ Carolina Panthers (3-11)

The Carolina Panthers lost comfortably at home to the Dallas Cowboys last weekend and they currently find themselves bottom of the NFC South! As it stands, The Panthers have the second-worst record in the entire NFC! As for Arizona, they beat the New England Patriots last time out and they currently sit third in the NFC West! If the season ended today, The Cardinals wouldn’t make the Playoffs! In the end, I fully expect Arizona to win this game! It would be a disaster for The Cardinals if they failed to do so!

 


(3-11) Cleveland Browns @ Cincinnati Bengals (6-8)

The Cincinnati Bengals picked up a win in Tennessee last weekend and they currently sit third in the AFC North! As it stands, The Bengals’ Playoff chances are hanging by a thread! As for Cleveland, they lost at home to the Kansas City Chiefs last time out and they currently find themselves bottom of the AFC North! If the season ended today, it would be a pretty woeful one for The Browns! In the end, I expect Cincinnati to win here! The Bengals are better than The Browns, it’s as simple as that!

 


(12-2) Minnesota Vikings @ Seattle Seahawks (8-6)

The best game in this section sees the Seattle Seahawks host the Minnesota Vikings in what is a massive game for both teams! The Seattle Seahawks suffered a tough loss at home to the Green Bay Packers Sunday Night and they currently sit second in the NFC West! As it stands, The Seahawks are no longer occupying a Playoff spot! As for Minnesota, they beat Chicago Monday Night and they currently find themselves second in the NFC North! If the season ended today, The Vikings would take the NFC’s Number 5 seed! In the end, I think The Vikings will edge this game! It’s a must-win game for both, but I think Minnesota will have just enough to win on the road in Seattle!

 


(3-11) New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills (11-3)

The Buffalo Bills picked up a big win in Detroit last weekend and they currently lead the AFC East! As it stands, The Bills occupy the AFC’s Number 2 seed! As for New England, they lost in Arizona last time out and they currently sit bottom of the AFC East! If the season ended today, The Patriots would have the second-worst record in the entire AFC! In the end, this should be a piece of cake for The Bills! I expect Buffalo to smash New England here!

 


(3-11) Jacksonville Jaguars @ Las Vegas Raiders (2-12)

The Las Vegas Raiders lost again Monday Night against The Falcons and they currently find themselves bottom of the AFC West! As it stands, The Raiders are the worst team in the AFC! As for Jacksonville, they lost at home to the New York Jets last time out and they currently sit third in the AFC South! If the season ended today, The Jaguars would be the 4th-worst team in the AFC! In the end, I’m going to say that Jacksonville will win here! In a battle between two of the worst teams in the entire league, I think The Jags will beat The Raiders!

 


(6-8) San Francisco 49ers @ Miami Dolphins (6-8)

The Miami Dolphins suffered a difficult loss in Houston last time out and they currently sit second in the AFC East! As it stands, The Dolphins’ Playoff chances are slim! As for San Francisco, they lost in a terrible game against the LA Rams last Thursday and they currently find themselves bottom of the NFC West! If the season ended today, The 49ers would finish nowhere near a Playoff spot! In the end, I expect Miami to win this game! The Niners are a mess right now whilst The Dolphins have home-field advantage!

 


(8-6) Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Dallas Cowboys (6-8)

The Dallas Cowboys managed to win in Carolina last weekend and they currently sit third in the NFC East! As it stands, The Cowboys have less than a 1% chance of making the Playoffs! As for Tampa Bay, they picked up a terrific win in Los Angeles (against The Chargers) last time out and they currently lead the NFC South! If the season ended today, The Buccaneers would enter as the Number 3 seed! In the end, I’m going to say that Tampa win here! The Bucs are playing really well right now, and I think they’ll be too much for The Cowboys to handle!

 


(5-9) New Orleans Saints @ Green Bay Packers (10-4)

The last Monday Night Football before Christmas sees The Saints travel to Green Bay to take on The Packers! The Green Bay Packers picked up a great win in Seattle Sunday Night and they currently find themselves third in the NFC North! As it stands, The Packers occupy the Number 6 seed in the NFC Playoff Race! As for New Orleans, they lost by a point to the Washington Commanders last time out and they currently sit third in the NFC South! If the season ended today, The Saints wouldn’t even be close to a Playoff spot! In the end, I expect this to be an easy win for The Packers! I’d honestly be stunned if Green Bay didn’t win her
