Don’t you just hate ties?We had three of them with our picks against the spread last week, which meant my weekly record was 7-6-3 against the spread.Of the three ties, all three should have been wins. The , getting seven, fumbled at the 1 in Nolan Arenado Jersey the closing seconds. The gave up a late score to let the close to within three for a push, while the lost by five, when in reality the number was higher than that because didn’t play.So that 7-6-3 record felt like a 10-6 mark for me, even if it doesn’t count that way. My best bets on the Pick Six Podcast went 4-3 to up my season record to 53-36-1, tops on the podcast.Let’s keep it going with a good holiday week of picks. at New Orleans Saints Latest Odds: New Orleans Saints -6.5 The Saints have lost two straight games, but looked more like himself in the second half against the Chiefs. That will carry over here against a Vikings defense that doesn’t rush the pa ser. Look for the Saints defense to get back on track as well. The Saints lost to the Vikings at home in the playoffs last year, but that won’t be the case in this one. Saints take it. Pick: Saints 27, Vikings 17 at Latest Odds: Tampa Bay Buccaneers -12 The Bucs are playing a second straight road game, but they are the cla s in this game. The Lions have i sues on defense and will take advantage of that. With so much on the line, the Bucs will be focused.Pick: Bucs 31, Lions 23 at Latest Odds: Arizona Cardinals -6 This is a home game for both teams since both are playing in the same stadium because of COVID-19 i sues in Santa Clara. But this is technically a home game for the Cardinals. The 49ers are out of the playoff Daniel Castro Jersey race, while Arizona badly needs this game. Motivation will be key. will have a good day against the 49ers secondary to win it. Pick: Cardinals 30, 49ers 23 at Latest Odds: Miami Dolphins -2 This is a big game in terms of the playoff chase, especially big for Miami. The Raiders will likely be playing at quarterback, which is a plus for Miami. has been limited with a groin injury. The Dolphins offense should be able to move the ball against a bad Raiders secondary. Miami will win it.Pick: Dolphins 30, Raiders 27 at Kansas City Chiefs Latest Odds: Kansas City Chiefs -11 The Falcons are playing out the string, while the Chiefs are cruising to the top seed in the AFC. Kansas City is back home after two road victories. The Falcons have blown a lot of big leads in games, but that won’t be the case here. They won’t lead by much if at all. Look for to light up the Falcons. Blowout.Pick: Chiefs 37, Falcons 24 at Latest Odds: Cleveland Browns – Scott Oberg Jersey 6.5 The Browns are in the division race with the faltering, but they need to be careful here. The Jets played well last week in beating the on the road. Cleveland is back in the same stadium after playing there Monday night against the . They handled the Giants with ease, but this will be a little tougher. The Jets will hang around. Pick: Browns 25, Jets 20 at Pittsburgh Steelers Latest Odds: Indianapolis Colts PK These two are both alive in the playoff chase, which makes this a big game. The Steelers are struggling in a big way to move the football, while the Colts defense has lagged some the past few weeks. Something will have to give. I think will make some plays down the field that have been mi sing. The Steelers will pull off the upset.Pick: Steelers 23, Colts 21 at Washington Football Team Latest Odds: Washington Commanders +1 If Washington wins its last two games, it wins the NFC East. Pretty simple. The Panthers are playing consecutive road games after losing to Green Bay last week. The Washington defense will get the best of in this one. Washington gets the first of two victories it has to have.Pick: Washington 20, Carolina 14 at Latest Odds: Chicago Bears -9.5 The Jaguars can get the first pick in the draft with two more lo ses, but that matters none to the players. The problem is the players aren’t very good. The Chicago defense will be all over in this game, which will lead to turnovers and short fields. The Bears will do enough to keep their playoff hopes alive with a victory. Pick: Bears 27, Jaguars 13New York Giants at Latest Odds: Baltimore Ravens -10 This is e sentially a playoff game for these two. They both have to have it. The Giants are playing off a Sunday night lo s and Trevor Story Jersey now are out on the road, which can be tough. The Ravens seem to be getting back into form.

The Texans are home for the first time in three weeks, while the Bengals are playing on a short week. Cincinnati put a lot into beating the Steelers Monday night, so this will be a letdown.

Pick: Chargers 35, Broncos 28Los Angeles Rams at Latest Odds: Seattle Seahawks -1.5 The Rams are coming off a lo s to the Jets and now must win this game to have a chance to win the division. Seattle has been improved on defense, but I expect the Rams to come in here and play well. Sean McVay will get them back on track and they will limit . Rams take it.Pick: Rams 26, Seahawks 20 at Latest Odds: Philadelphia Eagles -3 The Eagles are on the road for a second straight week with as their starter at quarterback. The Cowboys are suddenly playing well on offense. This should be a high-scoring game with the Cowboys winning it with a late touchdown. Dallas tries to stay alive in the playoff chase.Pick: Cowboys 31, Eagles 26 at Latest Odds: Green Bay Packers -3 This will be the running game of the Titans against the pa sing game of the Packers. was just OK last week, but I think he will bounce back with a big game against a bad Titans defense. will get his for the Titans, but they won’t keep up. The Packers will lock up the top seed. Pick: Packers 37, Titans 27 at Latest Odds: Buffalo Bills -7 The Bills have clinched the AFC East, while the Patriots are playing out the string.
