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

Thursday Night Football:

RAMS -4 vs. Saints ✅ – Rams are kicking ass in the second half of the season. (Forgot to post this until today (Saturday), so you’ll have to take my word for it, but you know I don’t fib about these bets. I mean, christ, I’m 15 bets under .500 for the season.)

Saturday:

Bengals -3 vs. STEELERS ❌ – The Bengals have a QB problem but the Steelers have a QB fiasco. All credit to Mason Rudolph: the kid looked great and was dropping dimes to his receivers all game.

Bills -12.5 vs. CHARGERS ❌ – The Chargers are toast, done, and the Bills are hot and healthy. Jiminy christ.

Sunday:

JETS -3 vs. Commanders ❌ – The Jets are fighting and the Commanders have packed their bags for the off-season.

Lions -3 vs. VIKINGS ✅ – I’ve never lost money betting on Jared Goff. Oh, wait…

Cowboys +1 vs. DOLPHINS ❌ ❌ 2× pick of the week – Dallas has been rebounding after each loss this season, and let’s face it, Miami is a fraud with a weak schedule.

Teaser +400 ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
- JETS +3
- Lions +3.5
- Seahawks +3
- BEARS +2
- Cowboys +7

Monday 🎄:

Teaser +160 ❌ ❌ 2× bet
- CHIEFS -4.5
- Giants +20
- Ravens +12.5

Raiders-CHIEFS OVER 39.5 ❌ — Do we bet the over/under thinking about the Raiders that lost a 3-0 game to the Vikings two weeks ago, or the team that scored 63 against the Chargers last week? I say go optimistic.

Teaser +360 ❌
- CHIEFS -10.5
- Over 41.5
- Travis Swift to score a TD

*That’s what I get for banking on the Chiefs. OK, starting over at 4pm:

Giants over EAGLES +650 moneyline ❌ – No regrets, this almost hit.

Parlay +600 ❌
- Giants +14.5
- Tommy Cutlets 1+ passing TDs
- Tommy Cutlets 224.5+ passing yards

Teaser -130 2.5× bet ✅ ✅
- Giants +20
- Ravens +12.5

Season to date (weeks 1-15): 44-59-3
