Thursday Lar30, No22
Lions (10-4) at Vikings (7-7)
1:00 pm et | FOX | Spread DE T-3 (47. 5)
Featured story Lions, the Quarterback, Jared Goff, has been focused on how to face the Blitz Package in Vikings, but this match can or can't run on how Lions can run against Vikings's defense. The development may change. The Lions won the second largest rash (1, 973 yards) in the NFL, but the Vikings' defense has kept the opponent's rashing yard to the fifth league (1, 288 yards). It is unlikely that the Lions will lose if Vikings cannot stop rashing attacks. --Kevin Seafart
Bold forecast: Lions' RB Jamia Gibbs will achieve the third rookie season's third 10 0-ya drashing game. The 12th place nominated Gibbs is becoming more comfortable to the last spurt as the maturity increases. Dan Campbell has seen him as a reliable play maker in the offense, and Gibbs will continue to get a lot of touches in Minnesota. --Eric Woodyard
Statistics to know: Goff is consistently superior to Blitz in Defenseback. He is the third largest in the league in the league with the completion rate and one yard when the defense sends DB Blitz.

168D Jordan Reed Rate 2Matchup X-Factor: Lions cornerback Cameron Sutton. One easy way to lose to the Vikings is to be dominated by wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Sutton was on the road with Denver's Courtland Sutton for most of last week, so Jefferson will likely be his primary man. -- Walder
What's at stake: If Detroit wins, they're guaranteed a playoff berth and the NFC North title. Even if they lose, the Seahawks can still clinch a playoff berth if they lose. But what about the Vikings? Minnesota could boost their postseason chances to 70% if they win, but that drops to 28% if they lose. Read more
What to know for fantasy: The Lions defense is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. In the Superflex format, Nick Mullens is an attractive sleeper with Jefferson, receiver Jordan Addison and tight end T. J. Hockenson as the top receiving playmakers. The Lions defense also allows the eighth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers and the eighth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

1 p. m. ET | FOX | Spread: Atlant a-2. 5 (44. 5)
Colts (8-6) at Falcons (6-8)
Top Stories Taylor Heinicke will make his third start of the season in place of Desmond Ridder for Atlanta, while Gardner Minshew will make his 11th start in place of Anthony Richardson for the Colts. Heinicke and Minshew have been on similar paths -- moving from team to team, coming in and playing well when called upon as a backup to a starter. "I feel like we could become pretty close as friends," Heinicke said. "He's a lot of fun and has a passion for the game. -- Michael Rothstein
Bold prediction: The Falcons have only allowed five rushing touchdowns so far. But with Colts running back Jonathan Taylor back from thumb surgery and the offensive line playing its best game of the season, the Colts are showing a strong preference to run the ball. Last week against the Steelers, Indianapolis ran 13 straight plays on a closing drive. -- Steven Holder
Stats to know: The Colts have had a takeaway in 19 straight games, the longest active streak in the NFL since 2003-04 (21 straight games). They've had 20 straight games in the past 10 seasons since the Dolphins did 26 in 2019-21.
Matchup X-Factors: Falcons head coach Arthur Smith. I know fantasy managers have been asking Smith to get rookie running back Bijan Robinson the ball. But seriously, Robinson only had seven rushes and one reception last week. The point of a playmaker is to get the ball in his hands, so you have to think about giving him the ball and making sense. -- Walder
NFL Playoff Machine
What's at stake: If the Colts win, they have a 69% chance of making the playoffs and a 32% chance of winning the AFC South. If they lose, they're at 42% and 11%, respectively. Atlanta is uphill no matter what. If they win, they have a 19% chance of making the playoffs and a 14% chance of winning the NFC South. The Falcons have a 5% chance of making the playoffs and winning the division. Read more
What to know for fantasy: The Falcons are not a reliable offense for fantasy managers. That said, wide receiver Drake London shouldn't be overlooked against a Colts defense that has allowed Deontay Johnson, DeAndre Hopkins and Mike Evans to have big plays recently. Every game this season in which Rondon has been targeted seven or more times has resulted in at least 10 fantasy points. See Week 16 Rankings -- Moody

1 p. m. ET | CBS | Spread SE A-3 (41. 5)
Trending Stories Titans running back Derrick Henry's 16 carries for nine yards last week were his worst performance as a starter. Though he's had a down year this year, Henry is on pace for 1, 073 yards this season. For the Titans to win, they need Henry back in form. He should get plenty of chances against a Seattle defense that's allowing 127. 3 rushing yards per game. --Tarron Davenport
Bold prediction: Safety Julian Love will have his third straight interception. Whichever quarterback starts for Tennessee, they should give him a chance or two. Both are unafraid to push the ball down the field and have struggled with accuracy this season. Will Revis (who hurt his ankle last week) was off the mark 17. 8 percent of the time, the third-highest among the quarterbacks surveyed, while Ryan Tannehill (who hasn't played enough to qualify) was off the mark 18. 2 percent. Love has four takeaways in his last two games and could get another against the Titans. -- Brady Henderson
Stats to know: Henry is at a career-low 3. 8 yards per carry this season. Last week, he had 10 yards from scrimmage on 20 touches (fewest yards from scrimmage on 20-plus touches since individual stats were tracked in 1933).
Matchup X-Factor: Seahawks cornerback Rick Uhlen. In terms of defensive yards, which is the difference between yards allowed on receptions or penalties and the playing time expected of an average outside corner, Uhlen is well above average with 57 yards. A reduced role for Titans receiver DeAndre Hopkins would be a major hindrance to Tennessee's offense. -- Walder
What's at stake: Tennessee lost in Week 15, so all eyes are on Seattle. Fresh off a big win on Monday, the Seahawks have a 71% chance of making the playoffs if they win this game, and a 34% chance if they lose. Read more
Fantasy tips: Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf is averaging 14. 7 fantasy points on 7. 6 targets this season. His fantasy ceiling is even higher if he has a favorable matchup. Tennessee's defense is allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Having Geno Smith back under center would help Metcalf even more. See Week 16 rankings -- Moody

Trevor Sea Miang is expected to be used on behalf of the hot story Zack Wilson (concussion), and Jets's Quarterback Calusel is rotating again. This is the first time that Jets has become the fourth since 1989. Jets's Quarter Back touchdown pass is the 9th league, and is less than 10 times than the command tower QB Sam Howell, which was replaced in the second half of last week. - Rich Simini
Bold forecast: NFL's lowest Washington's defense will keep Jets's attack yards to 250 yards or less. Jets fans may not be able to think of such a bold thing, given that the number of yards per New York is 255. 1 yards at 255. 1 yards. However, since the commander has been reducing one team to 300 yards or less since the opening round (Giants in the 11th week), 384. 5 yards per game, and more than 400 yards in four games in the past five games. Bold than I thin k-John Caming
Top stories of the week from
It requires 118 yards for the stats receiver, Garrett Wilson, to get 1, 000 yards for the second consecutive year. As Jets players, since the 1998-99 season key Sean Johnson. In addition, 18 yards are required to become 900 yards players for the first time in Jets for the first time in history.
Matchup X Factor: Jets's offense line. The pass block win rate in the past two weeks is 30th, a harsh battle for Wilson, Siemian, or a player playing quarterbacks. Aaron Rogers would not have been easy either. Jets must be better in this field. - Walder
What is the problem: Only two defeated teams will play against East Lazaford. Washington and New York can compete for the draft ranking, and if the commander loses, the possibility of firs t-place nomination is far from 2 %. read more
What you need to know for fantasy: You'll want to start Terry McLolin, a receiver of the command tower that might have played 12 targets and 26. 1 fantasy points last week, with 26. 1 fantasy points. However, New York's defense gives the Wide Receiver with the smallest fantasy points per game, so I want to use Jets running back, Brice Hall and Garrett Wilson. Among fantasy points per game, commanders' defense is the sixth in running backs, giving the wide receiver second. See the 16th week ranking --Mudi

1 P. M. ET |fox | Spread G B-5 (37. 5)
For Packers, who have lost their hopes for the playoffs due to the remarkable story loss, this is a game that can never be lost. Panthers may not be able to take off the two games in the past two games and have not taken the first half of the seven games, so they may be an advantageous opponent, but this is not the case. Carolina has been in the last three games and has an average of 155. 3 yards. Green Bay, ranked 30th in NFL, has given a 158. 5-yard lashing per game in the past six games, and has been allowed twice over 200 yards. --David Newton
Bold forecast: Panthers will be on the Packers' defense on 20 points. This is the longest in franchise history, alongside the Giants, the longest Thailand of the season. By the way, the Giants scored 24 points to Packers two weeks ago. --Rob Demoovsky
Statistics you want to know: Packers' Quarterback, Jordan Love has been ranked in the top 5 NFL in total QBR (74), touchdown pass (9), and the number of completed (101) since the start of the 12th week (101). Green Bay during this time is 2 wins and 2 losses).
Matchup X Factor: Panthers run defense. This is a bad thing because Panthers always carry beehinds and faces many runs. Well, this is. - Walder
What is the problem: Until a few weeks ago, Green Bay seemed to be on a certain path to the playoffs. Now, Packers will drop to 5 % if they lose (29 % even if they win). And Carolina's firs t-ranked nomination right (belonging to Chicago) will be number one with a 92 % chance if it loses in the 13th race. Interestingly, if Panthers find a way to win, this probability is 58 %. read more
Fantasy's highlights: Packers's backfield is still a committee method, but Aaron Jones recorded 17 touches and 69 yards last week. He plays against Panthers' defense, which has given the third fantasy point per game per game. In five out of the past six games, Carolina's defense has taught over 80 yards on the opponent's running back. See the 16th week ranking --Mudi

A battle where you can see the hottest story NFL's best cornerback play. Browns' Martin Emerson Jr. (42. 9), Denzel Ward (45. 3), and Greg New Sam II (66. 4) cornerback trios are 66 or less when they are targeted, and both are top 12. Is in. Texands' cornerback combination, Stephen Nelson (67. 9) and Derek Stingy Jr. (58. 9) are at the same level. A tough battle is expected for the quarter back thrown to a wide receiver. --DJ Bien-Aim
Bold forecast: Browns has won five wins, a franchise record in a reversal play with the remaining two minutes left of the season. On Sunday, Cleveland will win the sixth win in Houston's 4Q's 4Q reversal. --Jake Trotter
Statistics to know: 49ers (5 wins 0 losses), Falcons (2 wins 0 losses), and Ravens (5 wins 1 loss).
Matchup X factor: Browns tackle, Jeron Christian and James Hudson III. These backups are solid, and the pass block winning rate is almost average, but we must face a pas rush of the vibrant Texans, which sacks Will Labis seven times last week. - Walder
Featured card: The best in the AFC playoff battle! First from Houston. If Texan's wins, the possibility of entering the playoff is 72 %, and the possibility of capturing the digision is 28 %, but if you lose, it will slide to 33 % and 7 % respectively. If Browns wins, the possibility of playing the playoffs will jump to 99 % (80 % if you lose), and there are seven clinning scenarios (mainly when Denver and Pittsburg lose). In addition, if you win, you can leave 14 % of your hopes for the AFC area. read more
What to know for fantasy: Injuries on the offensive line have contributed to the Browns' recent struggles running the football. With quarterback Joe Flacco in good form, Cleveland will likely place an emphasis on the passing game. The Texans defense is allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to tight ends, which should bode well for David Njoku. See Week 16 rankings -- Moody Betting Tip: The Texans have gone under the total in four of their last five games. Read more

Top Stories The Bucs have won three straight and moved into the lead in the NFC South, while the Jaguars have lost three straight. It all depends on the status of Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence's concussion protocol. -- Jenna Laine
Weekly NFL game expert picks
Bold Prediction: Even with Lawrence in the game, the Jaguars will rush for less than 50 yards. The Jaguars' run game has really struggled over the past month (71. 3 yards per game), especially through the middle. They've averaged just 10. 5 yards per game through the middle over the past four games. That's with Lawrence on the field. -- Mike DiRocco
Stat to know: Bucs wideout Mike Evans' 92 receiving touchdowns are tied with Davante Adams and Rob Gronkowski for 12th all-time (Don Hutson is next with 99).
Matchup X-Factor: Jaguars cornerback Darius Williams, who is above average for an outside corner with 1. 1 yards per coverage snap and minus-14 EPA in NFL Next Gen Stats. He'll be facing Evans, who is also in top form this season, at least some of the time. -- Walder
What's at stake: If the Jaguars win, they have a 92% chance of making the playoffs and an 82% chance of winning the AFC South. If they lose, those chances drop to 62% and 42%, respectively. And in the NFC, the Buccaneers' chances of making the playoffs jump to 83% and their chances of winning the division rise to 75% if they win. Tampa Bay has a 55% chance of making the playoffs and a 44% chance of winning the NFC South. Read more
What you need to know for fantasy: If Lawrence clears a concussion protocol, the compatibility with Buccaniars will be outstanding. Tampa Bay's defense allows for the second pass Yard per game and the sixth fantasy point in quarter back. The receiver Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones will also benefit. Bucks' defense allows the tight end to the sixth fantasy point per game, so don't forget the tight end Evan Engram. See the 16th week ranking --Mudi

The story Bears, the story Bears, was deprived of the 4Q in the 4Q match in the Cleveland (the third time this season), and returned to the home in the Soldier Field, which has won the past three in the past three. Both teams are in a position to start thinking about 2024, with the remaining three games and the current starter QB--Justin Fields and Kailer Malay will be in their position next season. Both teams are in a position where you can aim for the top two nominations in the draft, including Quarter Back Caleb Williams and Drake May. --Cortney Clonin
Bold forecast: Cardinals running back, James Connor, will achieve the second 10 0-yard game in the past three games and will continue to rampage to the top class Bears Defense. Bears allows 79. 8 yards per game. Connor is 71. 7 yards on average this season, but in the past two games on average 95. 5 yards. Bears has not allowed 100 ya drashers this season. - Josh Wine Face
Statistics to know: Cardinals has been 7 wins and 24 loss since last season. If you lose next, it will be the most defeated in two seasons since it moved to Arizona in 1988 (24 losses in the 1991-92 season).
Matc h-up X factor: Bears line backer, T. J. Edwards. Tackle, Sack, Quarter Back Hits, Pass Dies, etc.) For any defense displayed in playbai play, "Plus EPA" for the whole EPA of any positive play for defense There is an advanced metric of an old school called. Line backers are usually fare, and Edwards leads NFL this season with this metric. He can help shut down the Cardinals on Sunday. - Walder
What is a problem: If Chicago wins, the possibility of playing the playoffs is 1 %. In other words, 1 %. Arizona, whose defeat has been decided, may be able to move forward with the first place in the draft (7 %). read more
What you need to know for fantasy should be fully demonstrated for Cardinals Defense, which has given the eighth fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. The receiver DJ Moore is likely to succeed.

The hottest story Wide Receiver, Thai Square Hill, missed the game last week due to injury to the ankle and returned to Thursday. Since 2021, the passyard per game has never been allowed since 2021, and it may be difficult for the fourth largest cowboys defense opponent in the league. --Mercel Louis-Jack
Bold forecast: Cowboys' receiver, Cowboys, will catch at least nine times and set a franchise record with 112 seasons catches. Michael Urvin set a record 111 times in 1995. Jason Witten is the second 110th in 2012. Lamb has been receiving more than 11 times in five games this season. Dolphins have only been catching more than nine games in one game this season, Adam Sea Ren and A. J. Brown. - Todd Archer
The match between Stats Cowboys and Dolphins, which you need to know, is a confrontation between the top two teams of the top two teams with an average of 30 points average (Dolphins 31. 5 points, 30. 8 points in the cowboys). This is the third time since the merger in 1970, two teams with an average of 30 or more will play in the last three weeks of regular season. The last two times are 1983 (Washington wins the cowboys in the 15th week) and 2020 (Packers win Titans in the 16th week).
Matchup X-Factor: Cowboys cornerback Daron Brand. Brand gives, Brand takes. On the one hand, he has the best EPA (minus-36) of all corners this season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. But on a down-to-down basis, he's given up more yards than the average corner (1. 6, excluding 67 penalty yards). Brand's role will be important against receivers Jaylen Waddle (and maybe Hill). -- Walder
What's at stake: Miami can join their opponent in the playoffs if they win, and they can take the division if they win and Buffalo loses. The Dolphins have an 80% chance of winning the AFC East if they win, and a 58% chance if they lose, and they'll also be in the running for the AFC No. 1 seed (30% if they win, 9% if they lose). And the Cowboys will be primarily focused on the NFC East, with a 34% chance if they win and a 24% chance if they lose. Read more
What to know for fantasy: The Dolphins have scored a touchdown on 37% of their drives at home, the second-highest percentage in the league. Miami is averaging 36. 0 points per game at home this season.

Top Stories
How much of a run game can the Broncos have against a Patriots defense that ranks second in the league in rushing power, first in fewest rushing yards per play, and will likely spend significant resources trying to keep the ball out of the hands of Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton? Nobody is advocating Veer, and the Broncos' loss in Detroit showed they need to own the ball. Otherwise, it could expose a Denver defense that seems exhausted from the heavy lifting to get the team out of a 1-5 start. Now it's time for the offense to carry the Broncos, especially on the ground. -- Jeff Legwald
Bold prediction: Both teams will score touchdowns on kick or punt returns. The Broncos are led in kickoff returns by Marvin Mims Jr. (28. 5 avg.), who has already returned 99 yards for touchdowns this season. Mims is also averaging 16. 9 yards per punt return. Meanwhile, it was Jalen Reagor (28. 0 avg., 3 returns, long 40) who lit up the Patriots' kickoff return unit last week. -- Mike Reese
Statistics to know: The Broncos have won their first four home games since opening night. Denver is looking to win five straight home games for the first time since 2014.
Raiders (6-8) at Chiefs (9-5)
X-factor of the matchup: Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson. For the simple reason that the quickest (and only?) way Denver can lose this game is an offensive turnover. As long as Wilson protects the ball, Denver will be fine. Wilson has been conservative all year, allowing just 6. 6 air yards per attempt. -- Walder
What's at stake: The Broncos are fighting for playoff hopes, with a 32% chance of making the AFC finals if they win, but that drops to 3% if they lose. The Patriots are eliminated, but are still in the running for the No. 1 pick. Read more
What to know for fantasy: It will be hard to trust Wilson against the Patriots. New England's defense has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. Fantasy managers should temper their expectations when it comes to Wilson, or receivers Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. See Week 16 rankings -- Moody
Betting Tip: The Patriots are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. They are also 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. Read More

Giants (5-9) at Eagles (10-4)
The Chiefs have beaten the Raiders in 10 of 11 games with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, but that doesn't tell the whole story. Only three of those games were decided by 14 points or less. The rest were by big margins. So the question heading into this game is: Can the Raiders find a way to make plays late to keep it close and have a chance to win? -- Adam Teicher
Bold forecast: Raiders' edge rasher, Max Crosby, who has a career hig h-high 13. 5 sack, will sack at least twice the "nemesis" Mahames. Although the Chiefs has dominated the series since Crosby and Mahames had been in 2019 for the first time in 2019, their rivalry has been rapidly developed in the past two seasons. Crosby has sacked Mahames four times in the past three matches and recorded four QB hits. --Paul Gutizes
Stats Chiefs, which you want to know, is aiming for 10 wins for nine consecutive years, which is the third place in Thailand in NFL history. In addition, for Mahams, 10 wins for the sixth consecutive year as the starting quota back, and the Thai record in NFL history will be updated.
Matchup X Factor Raiders edge rash, Marcom Koons. As you know, Krosby's success, cushion play is performing well. Since the ninth week, the pas rush win rate in the edge was fifth, recorded two sacks last week. Cushion / Crosby tandem must be the best state for Raiders to control the chiefs. - Walder
What is the problem: Chiefs can celebrate Christmas with the AFC West District championship, and the possibility of the first seed and playoffs will be 18 %. Raiders cling to the dream of the posts season, and if they win, their possibilities will rise to 6 %. read more
What you need to know for fantasy has recorded an average of 303. 5 yards in the game against Raiders, and is good news for Chiefs' receiver, Rassie Rice. When Maphames throws it on rice, he succeeded in a success of 80 % of the pass and recorded average 9. 0 yards. Also, when the rookie is targeted, the touchdown is six times and the intercept is zero. See the 16th week ranking --Mudi

Featured Stories Matty Pencil vs Tommy Cutlett. Matt Patricia is in his second week as the Eagles' defensive play-caller, replacing Sean Desai. He's trying to turn around a defense that ranks last on third downs and 31st in passing touchdowns. Tommy DeVito has fired up New York with eight touchdown passes and three interceptions in seven games (five starts), but the Giants lost 24-6 to the Saints, where DeVito passed for just 177 yards and was sacked seven times. -- Tim McManus Bold prediction: DeVito will throw for 300 yards. He's never failed in primetime. But what if the evidence is just one game? The Achilles heel of this Eagles defense is against the pass, allowing 255. 4 yards per game through the air, 28th in the NFL. DeVito has already said he welcomes the hostile environment that will host him in Philadelphia, and he could put up big numbers. -- Jordan Lannan
Stats to Know Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has a career-high 14 rushing touchdowns this season (tied with Cam Newton in 2011 for most in NFL history). His 15th rushing score would tie halfback Steve Van Buren in 1945 for most in a season by an Eagles player (Rusean McCoy had 17 in 2011).
Matchup X-Factor Giants tight end Darren Waller. The reality of the DeVito era was that, while it was hype-filled and fun, he only had one game with a QBR of 32 or better. DeVito needs help, and Waller, fresh off an injury, can provide it. If the tight end plays better, it could be the first shot the Giants need to turn things around. -- Walder
What's the problem? Philly has clinched a playoff berth, but they're still competing for the NFC East. If the Eagles win, they have a 78% chance of winning the division (9% for the No. 1 conference seed), and if they lose, it's 20%. The Giants have a 1% shot at making the playoffs if they turn things around on Christmas Day. Read more
What you need to know for fantasy: In the 15th week, Eagles's running back, Andre Swift, played a good performance with Seahawks and performed a solid performance. I got 75 yards with 20 touches. The Eagles are tw o-digit cards for the Giants, so Philadelphia will lead and fight. The Giants' defense allows opponents to have the fourth rashing yards per game and the third rashing touchdown. This is a good sign for Swift. See the 16th week ranking --Mudi
Betting Tips: The Giants scored 0 wins and 5 losses in the outlight and 1 win and 4 losses for the team that is currently winning. read more

Bold forecast: Ravens will close Ma Maeling from the end zone. This is the second 49ERS player who recorded the 2 0-touch down of the season, Jelly Rice, a player in the Hall of Fame, which recorded 23 touchdowns in 1987. However, Baltimore, the leader of the NFL, has not allowed Rushing Touchdown for the fourth consecutive game for four consecutive games. - Jamison Hensley
Statistics that you want to know: 49ers has won six consecutive victories with a doubl e-digit difference, which is the longest in franchise history (1987 and 1993). The last team that won the tw o-digit tw o-digit victory in one season was Patriots (8 wins) in 2007.
Divo Samuel, a 49ers wide receiver. Ravens does not open the receiver. In fact, in the ESPN receiver tracking indicator, the defensive team's open score (71 points) is the second highest. But that's not how Samuel win s-he's a YAC machine. Ravens may be able to slow down Brandon Ayuku (good at being open). But stopping Samuel is another kind of challenge. - Walder
What's at stake: Both teams have clinched a playoff berth, and the 49ers have already clinched the NFC West. The Niners have a Week 16 path to the No. 1 seed: They need a win or loss against Dallas, Detroit, and Philadelphia. The Ravens can clinch the AFC North with a win and a loss against Cleveland, giving them an 83% chance of winning the AFC No. 1 seed with a win (53% with a loss). Read more
What to know for fantasy: Thanks to his dual-threat ability, Jackson can be considered a top-five fantasy quarterback even against a stiff 49ers defense. San Francisco's defense allowed 234 rushing yards to the Cardinals in Week 15. The Ravens could have similar success on the ground behind an offensive line that ranks fourth in run-blocking win percentage. With Keaton Mitchell out for the season with a knee injury, Jackson could see more carries, and running back Gus Edwards, who has scored a touchdown in six of the past eight games, could be an attractive flex option.

Featured Stories
The Steelers and Bengals have been on opposite ends of the spectrum since the Steelers won their first matchup a month ago, with the Bengals going 3-0 and the Steelers going 0-3. Earlier this week, Pittsburgh wide receiver Diontae Johnson said the team that controls the line of scrimmage wins the game. The ground game will likely decide this rematch, considering the Steelers are averaging 95 yards per game since their 153-yard game against the Bengals, while the Bengals are averaging 115. 7 yards per game since their 25-yard game against the Steelers. -- Brooke Pryor
Bold prediction: Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins will record at least 150 receiving yards. Cincinnati will be without wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, and the Steelers will be without safeties Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee injury) and Damontae Kazee (suspension). That's a recipe for Higgins to have a big game and build on his performance against the Vikings, in which he made some of his best catches of the season. -- Ben Baby
Stat to know: The Steelers' quarterbacks have given up nearly as many interceptions (9) as touchdowns (10). Pittsburgh is 26th in completion percentage (62%) and total QBR (37).
Matc h-up X factor: Bengals edge rash, tray Hendricson. He will play against the average tackle, Dan Moore Jr., and will be able to destroy the day of Stillers' quarterback, Mason Rudolf. Hendrixon's pass rush win rate was 22 %, 12th in this position. - Walder
What is the problem: Stillers basically needs to win to connect the hope for the playoffs. If you win, the possibility of advance to the AFC field is 9 %, but if you lose four consecutive consecutive consecutive, the probability is less than 1 %. Bengals, on the other hand, can decide to advance to play on Saturday-if you win, it will rise to 56 %, and if you lose, it will drop to 13 %. read more
What you need to know for fantasy: Bengals cannot cover the tight end. This season, Cincinnati's defense has given the second fantasy point to this position.

- Featured story last Friday, Director Brandon Stayy and Tom Telessco General Manager have been fired, overwhelmingly, 25 wins 13 losses and 2 minutes, winning four wins in the past five games with Buffalo since 2011. It is showing the strength. The game will be like a reunion for Dean Marlow, a charger safety player who played in the Bills from 2018 to 2020. - Chris Rim
- Bold forecast: Bills will get at least 40 points. Buffalo's offense has performed the best performance under Joe Brady's provisional offense coordinator, marking more than 30 out of the four games. Now after the dawn of the victory in the Cowboys, both runs and passes are threatening. Charger's defense has forgiven the touchdown and first down the second most, giving 63 points last week. Only the two teams on the opposite road should be able to score a big score. --Arena Getzenberg
- Stats to know: Bills quarterback Josh Allen is on his way to his fourth straight season with 40 combined passing and rushing touchdowns. He already holds the NFL record for most in three straight seasons and could tie Tom Brady with three touchdowns on Sunday.

Matchup X-Factor: Bills defense. It's coming together. After a midseason slump due to injuries to linebacker Matt Milano, cornerback Tre'Davious White and defensive tackle Daquan Jones, the Bills defense has had a major comeback in recent weeks against the Chiefs and Cowboys (especially the pass defense).

Broncos vs. Raiders Predictions
The biggest problem for Bronkos is how to replace the Quarter Back Teddy Bridge Water. Drew Rock advanced to the Cincinnati group in two drives on behalf of the Bridge Water. However, this success should be thanks to running back, as Rock was able to succeed only three times.
The result was not beautiful when the ball entered the rock on the last two drives. He succeeded in two of the six passes, and Bronkos did not even enter Cincinnati. But this is comparable to this year's limited play.
With 40 trials, the pass success rate was only 55 %, and one intercept was twice for one touchdown. If this offense has a chance to succeed, he needs to be better.
Fortunately, Denver has no need to rely on the pass thanks to the running game. After the byweek, Bronkos has recorded a 154. 5 rash yard per game. This trend should continue to the 23rd place to run, according to PFF.
The offense will have the defense regain the delay. According to Professional Reference, Raiders's defense is the third number in one drive.
A major reason for Denver's success has been their ability to come back on high-leverage plays. The Broncos are second on fourth down and third in the red zone. Given their quarterback situation, they'll need to continue this success more than ever.
