NFL Week 16 picks: Consider Chiefs, Lions and Eagles this weekend
Lorenzo Reyes shares his best bets ahead of a long weekend of football games.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have stormed out to an 8-6 record in sole possession of first place in the NFC South. Their offense has looked unstoppable at times and, after a dominant performance against the stout Los Angeles Chargers‘ defense in Week 15, the Bucs have a rather easy path to the playoffs with only the Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers, and New Orleans Saints left on their schedule.
That said, their opponents this weekend, the Dallas Cowboys, have been playing better football as of late. After a shocking win over the Washington Commanders a month ago, the Cowboys have won three of their last four, only falling to the Cincinnati Bengals, which was still a close game.
Perhaps the Cowboys could shock the world and win this one. Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 16 showdown.

Tyler Dragon: Bucs 27, Cowboys 20
The Bucs are quietly playing really good football. Tampa Bay has won four games in a row, and they are coming off a statement win over the Chargers. Look for the Bucs to top 200 rushing yards for the second straight week.
Jordan Mendoza: Buccaneers 31, Cowboys 20
Tampa Bay is on the right path to get back in the playoffs after last week’s blowout win. They handle Dallas to hand them another home loss.
