The eyes of the NFL world will be on the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens in primetime as the teams square off in a Sunday Night Football game with playoff implications.

New England is coming off a loss to the Buffalo Bills that ended its 10-game winning streak. Baltimore, meanwhile, earned a 24-0 win over the Cincinnati Bengals last week to snap a two-game skid and keep its postseason hopes alive.

Sunday's game is a showdown between quarterback Lamar Jackson, a 2-time NFL MVP, and Drake Maye, who in just his second year has already put himself into the discussion for the award.

Predictions for the game are mixed, but several of the CBS Sports experts are leaning toward the Ravens.

Can the Patriots clinch a playoff spot?

For the Patriots, Sunday's game includes a simple playoff clinching scenario. If New England wins, they're into the postseason for the first time since 2022.

If the Patriots lose, they still have a chance to seal their playoff berth this week.

If Baltimore wins, New England would still clinch a postseason appearance with a loss by the Indianapolis Colts or Houston Texans. A Colts or Texans tie would also send the Patriots to the playoffs.

The Patriots could have clinched the AFC East with a win over Buffalo last week, but blew a 21-0 lead and lost to the Bills. If New England wins the final two games of the season, they'll clinch the division regardless of how the rest of the games in the league play out.

Baltimore, meanwhile, will need to win the AFC North to get into the playoffs. The Ravens sit at 7-7 headed into Week 16, chasing after the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have an 8-6 record.
