Winning weeks are great. I think.
I went 8-7-1 versus the spread with my NFL chooses recently and was 9-7 directly. When you think about that the week actually wasn’t that difficult, I do not feel excellent about it.
Here’s why I understand that: Kudos to my colleague Dave Richard, who becomes part of our CBSSports.com Expert Picks, considering that he went 14-1-1 ATS. That simply reveals it wasn’t a difficult week. Dave?
Seriously, I require a week like that. I am now 88-85-7 ATS and 108-72 directly for the season.
We are getting to December. That’s when competitors emerge. It’s likewise a great time for a good week, one method over.500 both ATS and directly.

Los Angeles Chargers (-6) at New England Patriots
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS,Paramount+
This is a long journey for a Chargers group that has actually underachieved in a huge method. The Patriots have actually been even worse. A minimum of the Chargers have a capable quarterback. Even the woeful Chargers pass defense will not get up the New England offense. The Chargers win it.

Detroit Lions at New Orleans Saints (+4)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox,fubo
The Lions are coming off a bad home loss to the Packers, while the Saints are coming off a roadway loss to the Falcons. The Lions defense has actually ended up being a significant issue since late. I search for Derek Carr to play well here as the Saints win a shootout versus the Lions.

Atlanta Falcons at New York Jets (+2.5)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox,fubo
The Falcons lead the NFC South after beating the Saints recently, while the Jets are spiraling. The New York offense is terrible, no matter who plays quarterback. The defense can still dip into a high level, which is why this will be close. However, try to find the Falcons to win it.

Arizona Cardinals at Pittsburgh Steelers (-5.5)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS,Paramount+
The Steelers appeared to discover something on offense recently after the planner modification, while the Cardinals went backwards on offense recently in a loss to the Rams. The Steelers defense will once again provide an obstacle for Kyler Murray and he will have a hard time.
