December, while one of the most exciting months of NFL action, is historically the month where I slip up in my weekly posts. It happened in 2019, it happened a little bit in 2021 and 2022, and now it has happened again in 2023: in this hustle and bustle of traveling from Denver to New York for the holidays, I never officially made my Week 16 NFL Picks.

For archive and record-keeping purposes, I’m still going to publish my 2023-24 NFL Week 16 Picks, even though the games have already been played. I won’t offer score predictions, but just who I think would have won going in: think, pretty much all favorites.

I’ll also save updating my season record until next week, under the assumption no one will probably read this article except for myself anyway.

Read on for my 2023-24 NFL Week 16 Picks, and if you’d like to debate or discuss any predictions, join the conversation with @SakSports on Twitter.
