i did it.
i did it.
i did it.
We had a victorious week. Finally. It’s a Christmas miracle.
After weeks of picking so badly that I made fun of myself, I finally had a week where I was able to win both the spread and straights.
Phew.
He went 13-3, improving his season record to 141-83-0 and going 11-5 ATS, improving his record to 101-119-4. The ATS record is not where it should be, but I think that will change in the next few weeks.
After the week I won, I feel really good now and my confidence has increased. So here we are, picking up another important week and following up. It’s time to build momentum heading into the postseason.
Let’s go.
Thursdays, 8:15pm ET (Prime Video)
This is a good Thursday night game between two teams that would currently be in the playoffs. The Chargers have lost two straight and didn’t play well against the Bucks last week. They will play better here. The defense will limit Bo Nix and Justin Herbert will hit the throws at the right time to win the game.
Pick: Chargers 24, Broncos 17
Bonus: SportsLine expert Matt Severance, who has a 23-7 record betting on the Broncos, is also weighing in on this prime-time matchup. Visit SportsLine to see which side he’s supporting in this big AFC West showdown.

Patrick Mahomes is I limped with a high ankle sprain.but he was able to play. If he does that, things will be a lot easier for the Chiefs. But I think they’ll win this game whether he plays or not. With Carson Wentz, defense wins. The Texans haven’t been very good this season. Commissioners understand that.
Designated players: Chiefs 23, Texans 17

This is a big game in the AFC North. The Ravens lost to the Steelers earlier this year, but now it’s time for revenge. Lamar Jackson had limited production in that game, but he won’t be here. He will likely get the most out of the Steelers’ defense as the Ravens compete for division.
Designated players: Ravens 27, Steelers 20

The Falcons defeated the Raiders on Monday night, but Kirk Cousins hasn’t been doing well and is now a very expensive backup for rookie first-round pitcher Michael Penix Jr. Expect Atlanta’s offense to show some flashes of brilliance — it shouldn’t be a big deal. Worse, the defense will limit the undermanned Giants’ offense. The Falcons are big.
Pick: Falcons 31, Giants 14

It’s been a long journey for the Cardinals, and they’re coming off a comeback win to end their losing streak. They played better in the win against the Patriots. Carolina didn’t play well in the loss to the Cowboys, but I think they can play well here as the offense gets back on track. The Panthers keep it close.
Pick: Cardinals 23, Panthers 21

The Lions have been devastated by injuries to their defense, which will be a challenge. The Bears have lost eight straight games and haven’t played well over the past two weeks. But something says they’re hanging out against that battered Lions defense. The Lions won, but the Bears were close.
Picks: Lions 28, Bears 24
Sunday, 1pm ET (CBS, Paramount+)
The Colts are barely surviving in playoff contention. the titans are over and may change quarterbacks. The Colts did some good things last week, even though they lost to the Broncos in a game they should have won. They bounce here. The Colts accept it.
Designated players: Colts 24, Titans 17
Sunday, 1pm ET (CBS, Paramount+)
It’s a long journey for the Rams, but they’re playing well. The Jets are coming off a win against the Jaguars, and Aaron Rodgers has looked much better over the past two weeks. The Jets’ defense has issues. Look for a lot of points here as the Jets are hanging out, but the Rams will find a way.
Pick: Rams 30, Jets 29

This is an important game heading into the postseason. The Eagles are on a 10-game winning streak, while the Commanders have won their last two games. The Eagles are coming off a tough physical game against the Steelers that could wear the team down. Washington needs more of this game and it will play out that way.
Pick: Commanders 21, Eagles 20
Bonus: Thanks to the SportsLine projection model. This model also includes Commanders +3.5 as part of the best bet parlay. Check out the other four legs of the parlay on SportsLine.
Sunday, 1pm ET (CBS, Paramount+)
The Bengals still have playoff hopes, but they’ll need to win. We know they can score. The Browns are having trouble scoring. Look for Joe Burrow and Cincinnati’s passing game to continue to pile up the points as they get bigger again. The Bengals accept that.
Designated players: Bengals 31, Browns 17
Sunday, 4:05pm ET (Fox, fubo free trial)
The Seahawks may be without quarterback Geno Smith for this game. If he ends up playing with that injured ankle, there will be limitations. That’s important against a good, aggressive Vikings defense. As Minnesota continues to push towards the top seed, Sam Darnold will be back on track after a so-so performance last week.
Designated players: Vikings 30, Seahawks 21
Jacksonville Jaguars (+1) vs. Las Vegas Raiders
Sunday, 4:25pm ET (CBS, Paramount+)
This week’s dog game. loser There is a possibility that you will end up being selected as number one overall.. In other words, you win or lose. So, who loses and wins? Give me the Raiders. The Jaguars will find a way to win this game with a solid rushing attack.
Pick: Jaguars 24, Raiders 20
Sunday, 4:25pm ET (CBS, Paramount+)
This will be a long journey for the 49ers, who suffered a disappointing loss at home to the Rams. That was last Thursday so they could get some extra rest. The Dolphins suffered a disappointing loss to the Texans. Tua Tagovailoa didn’t play well and I think the 49ers defense will limit him again. San Francisco accepts it.
Pick: 49ers 26, Dolphins 23
Sunday, 4:25pm ET (CBS, Paramount+)
The Bills are riding high with an impressive win over the Lions. They return home after two road games and face a New England team that has been struggling. Look for Josh Allen to shine for the Patriots and continue his quest to win MVP.
Pick: Bills 36, Patriots 17
Sunday, 8:20pm ET (NBC, Fubo Free Trial)
The Bucks are playing a series of road games, but it’s not easy. But they are playing their best soccer. The Cowboys had a good performance last week beating the Panthers, but this is a big step up in class. The Cowboys haven’t had a very good record at home, so I’d like to have high hopes for the Bucks to keep up their good form.
Pick: Buccaneers 27, Cowboys 20
Monday, 8:15pm ET (ESPN, try fubo for free)
The Saints are without Derek Carr, so it’s possible Jake Hayner will take over again. Plus, how well can you concentrate on a cold Green Bay night? The Packers made the playoffs and had a great performance against Seattle. They keep it going as Jordan Love has a great night.
Designated players: Packers 31, Saints 19
