Week 16 NFL: Unexpected Wins and Surprising Losses

The NFL is heating up as teams battle for playoff spots. Week 15 saw some big upsets, and Week 16 promises more chaos. The Colts might make a run, but the Lions vs. Steelers game is too close to call. Some teams are playing for pride, while others are fighting for their postseason lives. The Chiefs are in a tough spot. Without Patrick Mahomes, they're not the same team. The Titans are struggling, but the Chiefs might not have the motivation to play hard. Andy Reid could rest his key players to avoid injuries. The Chiefs might not cover the spread, making the Titans a decent pick.The Panthers are unpredictable. They lost to the Saints but could bounce back against the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay might be the better team, but the Panthers love to surprise. With Baker Mayfield injured, the Bucs' offense is vulnerable. The Panthers could win at home and keep their playoff hopes alive. The Texans are on a roll. They crushed the Cardinals by 20 points. The Raiders, especially with Kenny Pickett starting, aren't a strong offense. The Texans are playing for a playoff spot and will likely dominate. The Raiders' offense is weak, and the Texans should win big. The Patriots are underdogs against the Ravens. Drake Maye played well against the Bills, but Josh Allen took over. Lamar Jackson is a strong quarterback, but the Ravens didn't look great against the Bengals. The Patriots can slow down the Ravens and keep the game close. They shouldn't be 3-point underdogs.
