Sunday Night Football (SNF) continues in Week 16 of the 2025-26 NFL season with the Baltimore Ravens hosting the New England Patriots. This is a critical matchup for both teams, but for different reasons.

Baltimore comes into the game with a 7-7 record, which has them a game behind the Steelers at the top of the AFC North. On the other hand, the Patriots are 11-3 on the season, but need to win to ensure that the Bills don’t overtake them in the AFC East. Additionally, a New England win also puts pressure on the Broncos for the top seed in the conference.

With that, let us take a look at the game details such as what time the game starts, which TV channel it’s on, and how to stream the SNF game live.

Ravens vs Patriots prediction

The Ravens are coming into this Week 16 matchup on the back of a dominating win over the Bengals last week. However, Baltimore’s season has been pretty up and down. Meanwhile, the Patriots just had their 10-game winning streak snapped by the Bills last week. In spite of that loss, New England has played well throughout the season and was all over the Bills in the first half.

Drake Maye has been having an MVP-caliber season, and the game may come down to the Patriots’ offense vs the Ravens’ defense. Based on the latest form of both teams, the Patriots are our pick to win this game.

After starting my professional career as a French-to-English translator, working as a content writer is a new adventure for me. I started out in the sports media field for two main reasons: my love for sports in general, especially the NFL, NBA, and Tennis, as well as my passion for writing. The best part of this job is that I get to write a variety of pieces with the freedom to explore content from various angles. It also enables me to stay up to date with the sporting world, which otherwise can be difficult to do in the day-to-day grind. In a world full of chaos, sports unite and entertain like nothing else!
