My pick: listed first. Home team: CAPS. Post-game comments in italics.

Early games:

Raiders +8 vs. COLTS ✅ — Gotta bet the Raiders this week, in honor of John Madden. Plus: 8 points!

Eagles -4.5 vs. NO-NAMES ❌ — I hate betting the Eagles but they’re playing for a postseason spot and the No-Names are falling apart.

Late games:

Broncos +8 vs. CHARGERS ❌ — Both teams are on two-game losing streaks. But the Broncos have a defense — they lost to the Bengals 15-10 and Raiders 17-13. The Chargers have been bleeding points, losing to KC 34-28 and the Texans — the Texans! — 41-29.

COWBOYS over Cardinals -300 moneyline ❌ ❌ ❌ 3× bet to win 1×
COWBOYS -6.5 vs. Cardinals ❌ — Dallas is playing as good as anyone and the wheels seem to be coming off the bus for Arizona. But 6.5 is a lot of points.

Sunday Night Football:

Vikings +13 vs. PACKERS ❌ — I’ll be rooting for the Vikings anyway (hoping Dallas can get that first-round playoff bye), so I might as well take 13 points.

Parlay: (PHL-WAS under 45) + (DEN-LAC under 44.5) ❌ — 1× bet to win 3×.

Teaser: (DAL -0.5) + (CAR +12.5) + (MIN +19) ❌ — 1× bet to win 1.5×.

Season to date (weeks 1–16): 49-49
This week: 1-9 (oof)
