It’s time for December football. It begins this Sunday.
That means November is in the past, which is a good thing. I can’t think of a worse November I’ve had picking games. It’s been horrendous. My colleagues on CBSSportsHQ have taken to mocking me.
Yes, it’s that bad. I went 5-8 against the spread and 7-6 straight-up. That brings my season record to 80-96-3 ATS and 107-72-0 straight up.
Time to flip a coin to pick games? The coin would kill me.
As it is, I will stick to my own evaluations and hope it turns around. It won’t be any worse. December is upon us. Time to make a playoff push.

The Bears have lost four straight while the Lions have rolled to the top seed in the NFC right now. Playing the Lions on the road is never easy, but it’s even tougher on Thanksgiving. Caleb Williams showed well last week and will here as well to keep the Bears close. Lions win it, but it’s tight.
Pick: Lions 30, Bears 27
Bonus: Larry Hartstein, who is on a 98-63 roll on NFL games, loves one side of this matchup, and you can find out who to back over at SportsLine.

The Cowboys upset the Commanders last week, so they have some life. The Giants have none. In a game where it’s Cooper Rush against Tommy DeVito, give me the home team — even though Dallas hasn’t been good at home this year. They find a way.
Pick: Cowboys 24, Giants 17
Bonus: Larry Hartstein is also on a heater betting Cowboys games, as he’s won 27 of his past 37 bets involving America’s team. While he’s leaning under for this NFC East matchup, he shows a lot of value on the spread. To see which team he’s backing, head on over to SportsLine.

The Dolphins come here playing well, especially Tua…
