With the postseason closing in on us, the NFL is expanding its range of viewing and has scheduled two games that will be played on Saturday in Week 16. In the 1 p.m. ET viewing slot, the Houston Texans will take on the Kansas City Chiefs and will be followed by the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens facing off at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Texans at Chiefs
Both the Texans (9-5) and Chiefs (13-1) have clinched their divisions—the AFC South and AFC West respectively—and this matchup will help determine seeding amongst the top four teams in the AFC.
Currently, the Texans sit in the No. 4 spot and are one game back of the Steelers (who play this afternoon), two games behind the Bills, and three games behind the Chiefs, who are currently in the No. 1 spot. A win in this game could go a long way to helping the Steelers move up the rankings, while the Chiefs would clinch the AFC No. 1 seed with a win and a Bills loss to the Patriots—Buffalo is 14.5-point favorites, so that feels very unlikely.
The folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook are heavily favoring Kansas City in this game with the betting line being set at Chiefs -3.5 points.

Steelers at Ravens
The North is the only AFC division that has not been settled, and the top two teams in this race for the title will face off in this game. The Steelers (10-4) hold a one-game lead over the Ravens (9-5) and will have a chance to clinch the division with a win. The Ravens can’t clinch the division, but they can clinch a playoff berth if they can come away with the victory.
The folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook are heavily favoring Baltimore in this game with the betting line being set at Ravens -7 points.
