NFL Week 16 picks against the spread: Caleb Williams will keep it close against Lions

New York Times  

I need to adopt a new mediocre-to-poor quarterback. It’s not like we’re asking Williams to win Sunday; just stay within seven points of a banged-up Detroit Lions team that everyone is betting will bounce back after losing to the Buffalo Bills. Herbert used to be able to lean on J.K. Dobbins and the run game, but he’s hurt and the Chargers have ranked last in rush attempts per game and 31st in rushing yards per game in the past four games starting when he was injured in Week 12 against Baltimore. The Saints aren’t good and we don’t know if quarterback Derek Carr is coming back this season, but they’re 3-3 in their last six games and the losses came by a combined nine points. That doesn’t mean I want to lay 14.5 points and watch the Saints have a backdoor cover like last week, especially with the Packers possibly looking ahead to next week’s game against the Vikings.
