Several divisions could be won

It is Week 16! Last week’s results caused an upheaval at the top of the Conor Orr’s power rankingsthe Buffalo Bills taking first place. Patrick Mahomes’ high ankle sprain also added some drama to the race for the AFC’s No. 1 seed. In the NFC, the Atlanta Falcons hand over to rookie Michael Penix Jr. for his first career start.

The action begins early in the week, with six likely AFC playoff teams in action Thursday and Saturday. Four of our six picks see the Denver Broncos winning as road underdogs against the Los Angeles Chargers. Our team is unanimous in choosing the Baltimore Ravens to avenge their Week 11 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. And the Philadelphia Eagles could win the NFC East, but two of our picks think the Washington Commanders will hold out hope for at least one more week.
