It was closer than expected, but Buffalo got it done. James Cook had a huge game for the Bills, rushing 16 times for 117 yards and two scores. Buffalo improved to 11-4 with the win and moved one step closer to clinching a playoff spot. All the Bills need now is for the Texans OR Colts to lose OR tie their games.

The NFL is never predictable, but Week 16 underscored just how strange the season has been — and that’s before we get to the bonkers ending in Detroit. The Kansas City Chiefs played a game irrelevant to the standings and ended Sunday with one more victory than the New Orleans Saints.

The Detroit Lions’ comeback efforts came up short as the Pittsburgh Steelers secured a 29-24 win, capped off by an offensive pass interference call on wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The final weeks in the NFL are coming in the 2025 season. And although the current NFL playoff picture is very much muddled, there are actual postseason spots up for grabs in Week 16.

NFL Week 16 kicks off on Thursday, as the Seahawks host the Rams. Here are the lines for every Week 16 matchup at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Dec. 21.

The 27-year-old Dowdle gets a $1 million bonus for reaching 1,350 scrimmage yards and is currently at 1,237. The model forecasts him for a combined 88 scrimmage yards (62 rushing) and 0.63 TDs between rushing and receiving. Dowdle isn't a huge factor in the pass game, as his lone receiving score came Week 6 vs. Dallas.

That includes two marquee games that will hit us before Sunday. The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks play what could be an NFC West title game when the two meet on Thursday Night Football. The Green Bay Packers look to shake off injuries to Micah Parsons and Christian Watson by sweeping their season series with the Chicago Bears on Saturday.

Week 18 of the 2025 NFL season featured a handful of important injuries to players like Cam Ward and J.J. McCarthy.
