Early Sunday, it looked so promising for my picks. I was sweeping the six games at one point, leading me to believe I was destined for a good week.
Then I got coal in my stocking.
Some of the games went rotten, and it went bad from there. I ended up 6-10 against the spread and 10-6 straight up, neither of which is too impressive. That takes my ATS record to 116-113-11 and my straight-up record to 146-94.
There are two weeks left before the postseason to fix all that ails me. Like the teams, I need to sharpen up before the postseason begins.

The Browns are rolling right now and Joe Flacco has them close to being in the playoffs. The Jets are playing out the string, although they did beat the Commanders last week after blowing a big lead. The Browns defense will cause all kinds of problems for whoever plays quarterback for the Jets. The Browns keep surging, but the Jets will keep it close.
Pick: Browns 22, Jets 21

The Cowboys have lost two straight, but they are in the playoffs. The Lions clinched the division last week, but are playing for seeding.

Look for the Cowboys to get back on track after two losses with an impressive game for both offense and the defense.
Pick: Cowboys 31, Lions 23

Miami will hang around in this one, but I think in the end the Ravens defense will be the difference with a late stop.
Pick: Ravens 28, Dolphins 27
