I did it.
I did it.
I did it.
I had a winning week. Finally. It’s a Christmas miracle.
After weeks of horrible picking, so bad I even had to make fun of myself, I finally had a winning week both against the spread and straight up.
Whew.
I went 13-3 straight up to bring my season record to 141-83-0, and I went 11-5 ATS to up that record to 101-119-4. The ATS record isn’t where it needs to be, but a few more 11-5 weeks will change that.
I feel so much better now after the winning week and my confidence is growing. That means I will follow it up with another big-time week here with the picks. It’s time to build some momentum as we head to the postseason.
Let’s go.

Pick: Chargers 24, Broncos 17

Patrick Mahomes is hobbled with a high-ankle sprain, but he could play. If he does, it makes things a lot easier for the Chiefs. But I think they win this game whether he plays or not. If it’s Carson Wentz, the defense wins it. The Texans just haven’t been great this season. Chiefs get it.
Pick: Chiefs 23, Texans 17

This is an enormous game in the AFC North. The Ravens lost to the Steelers earlier this year, but this is the time they get even. Lamar Jackson was limited in terms of production in that game, but he…
