NFL Week 17 picks against the spread: Patrick Mahomes keeps showcasing his greatness

New York Times  

Shoutout to the Frankford Yellow Jackets. As far as the Bears go, we picked them last week even though we’ve said Caleb Williams has not gotten better since they fired the head coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. Justin Herbert had the fourth-best EPA per dropback rate of his career against the Broncos last week, but still ranks 16th in the category this season with a 0.05 rate. ET Sunday, CBS Brian Callahan called out his team’s lack of toughness last week, and the Titans responded by falling behind 38-7 to the Colts last week. Deebo Samuel Sr. finally showed a pulse last week, Nick Bosa is still tormenting quarterbacks and at some point, the Lions’ injuries on defense have to hurt them a little bit.

Week 14’s Sunday action brought a continuation of a few recent trends: The Panthers pushed another contender to the limit, the Jets continued to falter late, and Kirk Cousins struggled badly.

NFL Week 14 picks against the spread: Justin Jefferson’s scoreless streak will end vs. Falcons

New York Times  

The Minnesota Vikings have won five games in a row, and amazingly, their best player, Justin Jefferson, hasn’t scored in any of those games. But there are three problems with jumping on that bandwagon in this matchup: 1) the Lions are very good against the run, so Josh Jacobs can’t carry the Packers offense here; 2) Jordan Love has been …

NFL Week 7 picks against the spread: No hangover for David Montgomery’s Detroit Lions

New York Times  

At this point, a blind monkey could pick games better than me. There are five road favorites this week, and there would be six if the Detroit Lions hadn’t lost pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson for the season. We’re just guessing that’s how that went, and the three or four Pederson defenders out there would tell you that Jaguars receivers dropped …

NFL Week 12 picks against the spread: Brock Purdy boosts MVP case on Thanksgiving

New York Times  

Thanksgiving preparation is always tough, and I’m not talking about the lovely people living in the kitchen for a couple of days.
