Two winning weeks in a row.
Does the season really have to end?
I struggled mightily with my picks this season, but the last two weeks have been good. I went 10-6 against the spread last week and 12-4 straight up. Finally some momentum, but it’s too late if you ask me. My ATS record for the year is now 120-131-5 and the straight-up record is 165-91-0.
If I can have another good ATS week and keep it going throughout the playoffs, there is a chance I can get to over .500 for the season. After the giant hole I’ve been trying to climb out of all year, I will take it.

The Ravens can lock up the division title with a victory. The Browns have been done for a long time. The Cleveland offense has been bad the past month, while the Ravens can score on anybody. Lamar Jackson has another big day as the Ravens roll.

But it still will impact seeding. I think Baltimore wins, so the Steelers would not need the game. The Bengals and Joe Burrow take it.
Pick: Bengals 28, Steelers 23

The Eagles should be resting guys, but the Giants are so banged up it might not matter. It will be interesting to see what the Eagles do with Saquon Barkley. Even if he doesn’t play, and other starters sit, I think the Eagles will still win this game. You can’t sit them all.
Pick: Eagles 23, Giants 16

The Saints are playing for nothing, while the Bucs are playing for the division title. That will matter. The Saints aren’t playing well either. This one will get ugly. Baker Mayfield lights up the…
