The Phinsider
Week 16 of the 2024 NFL season begins with an AFC West matchup featuring the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers. We predict the winner.
The AFC playoff picture takes center stage for Week 16’s Thursday Night Football kickoff. Two AFC West teams, the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, faceoff in a battle for wildcard seeding. A win would lock the Broncos into the postseason, while a win and losses by the Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins would lock up a playoff berth for the Chargers. There is a lot on the line for tonight’s game.

Marke Brave and James McKinney led the way during the week with matching 11-5 records. Sumeet Jena was a game back at 10-6, while I fell down to 9-7.
Our overall records remain tight, with just three games separating all four of us. I moved into a tie with McKinney for the second position, two games behind Brave for the top spot. Jena is just an additional game back from that.
