One minute you look up and there are just four weeks left in the regular season. It’s pretty remarkable to have the bye weeks in the rearview mirror and just a month left of regular-season action before we get to the playoffs. Between now and then, we’ll look to inflate our bankroll to give us some more cash to throw around as we rocket toward the Super Bowl.
Coming off Week 14, we’re in a solid position, enjoying an 8-4-1 ATS record in what proved to be a difficult slate to hammer down. I was also 12-1 straight up last week, so we’ll look to keep that momentum rolling, beginning with my five locks of the week, including two notable upsets.

It’s always a treat when we have an in-state matchup between the Steelers and Eagles, but this one carries with it a ton of weight in the overall playoff picture. Pittsburgh can clinch the AFC North with a win, while Philly can secure the NFC East with a win along with a Commanders loss or tie, so this will have a playoff-type atmosphere. And I foresee this being a close game where I give the Steelers the slight edge to pull off the upset.
While Saquon Barkley is in a league of his own, Pittsburgh is allowing just 4.1 yards per carry this season, tied for the fifth lowest in the league. Even if they can limit Barkley just a touch, that could be enough to stall the Eagles offense, which has struggled a bit through the air. Meanwhile, Russell Wilson has been extremely kind to bettors this season as the Steelers are 6-1 both straight up and against the spread when he starts this season. The Eagles have also not fared too well at home as of late, failing to cover in four of their previous five games at Lincoln Financial Field.
Projected score: Steelers 26, Eagles 20
The pick: Steelers +5
