At the onset, Week 16 will open as usual with a Thursday night Prime Video matchup. But it will also include an extra day of action with a Saturday doubleheader. Thursday night’s matchup is a good one between two AFC North Division rivals from Ohio. To show, the Cleveland Browns will visit the Cincinnati Bengals in a game that could have plenty of playoff implications. Cincinnati is hoping that QB Joe Burrow will be healthy and making the start for the Bengals. Burrow’s injury cost the Bengals with the 2023 NFL odds.

Week 16 Overview
Of major concern is whether Deshaun Watson can answer the online betting bell for the Browns. And if he does, what kind of shape will Cleveland and Watson be in? Cleveland created a memorable 2023 campaign when veteran QB Joe Flacco led them to a playoff berth.
The Saturday doubleheader will open with an NFL betting odds rematch of the memorable 2019 AFC playoff game. To illuminate the visiting Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs had a thriller five years ago. Consider that the Chiefs were dead and buried. Yet they made one of the most ferocious and terrifying comebacks in NFL playoff history.
Second, on Saturday is one of the most hated and bitter rivalries in the NFL when the Baltimore Ravens host the Pittsburgh Steelers. By the time this game kicks off, gamblers will know if the Russell Wilson longshot gamble paid off for the Steelers. Baltimore and Lamar Jackson are expected to be a top threat to make a deep run in the AFC playoffs.
NBC Sunday Night Football offers a good matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Dallas Cowboys. Last year, Tampa Bay was one of the biggest surprises by gaining the playoffs with castoff QB Baker Mayfield. Mayfield did so well that he earned a big new contract to stay with the Bucs. Now the question is if Tampa Bay can sustain its success or did they simply catch lightning in a bottle in a weak NFC South division.
Meanwhile, ESPN Monday Night Football offers the New Orleans Saints at the Green Bay Packers. As always, Green Bay will have plenty of attention with a national fan base that goes back generations. Certainly, the Packers could be overpriced for this matchup at Lambeau Field. Especially with a decided advantage when the weather turns cold.
