Most of Week 16’s games in the NFL will be on Christmas Eve, Saturday, Dec. 24. One of the big rivalry games going on in Week 16 will be between the Atlanta Falcons (9-5) and the Carolina Panthers (6-8). Kickoff from Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte will be at 1:00 p.m. ET. FOX will have the telecast.
The Falcons lead the NFC South at 9-5, a game ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-6). One of those two NFC South teams will wind up winning the division when it’s all said and done. Both could make the 2016 NFC Playoffs — one as a division champion and one as a wild card. A win over the Panthers essentially clinches a playoff berth for the Falcons on Saturday.
Carolina enters play at 6-8 on the season. Though the Panthers can’t win the NFC South, they can still get in the NFC Playoffs as the No. 6 seed. They’ll need a ton of help in the next two weeks for that to happen. A win at home over Atlanta is the Panthers’ only path to the NFC Playoffs.
