The Bengals, Bears and 49ers are suspended for Week 16
Lorenzo Reyes is back with his best bets for NFL Week 16.
Sports seriously
Looking forward to the holidays? Do you have the winter blues? Panic before shopping?
Whatever the case, the NFL is trying to do its part to enrich, distract or add to “the most wonderful time of the year.” And that means a Thursday matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams with massive implications for the wild-card portion of the NFC playoff field… and potentially the NFC South. There are two more games on Saturday (Cincinnati Bengals-Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills-Los Angeles Chargers), with the first being another affair that will certainly impact postseason seedings, and the second involving the Bills – the arguably the AFC's hottest team, even though they're technically ranked ninth overall in the conference.
A Christmas Eve Sunday is full of surprises, especially the Dallas Cowboys' visit to the Miami Dolphins, with each club trying to secure their division and possibly their home-field advantage…underneath the whispers, they are paper reindeer. Christmas Day itself will begin with three big presents under the tree: Las Vegas Raiders-Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants-Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens-San Francisco 49ers in prime time in a preview of Super Bowl 58.
So visit the family, finish packing up, then grab some eggnog and settle in for kickoff. Nice holidays. (And this is how our experts see how the weekend went…)
