The trifecta almost came through last week.
I went 11-5 straight up, 3-2-1 with my best bets as part of the Pick Six Podcast, but went 8-8 with my CBSSports.com expert picks. Why couldn’t the Packers score late to get the cover, rather than kicking that field goal?
As it is, it was another solid week. The 3-2-1 raises my best-bet record to a sizzling 40-27-3. That I will take. My ATS record overall is now 82-90-8 and my straight-up record is 106-74-0.
We are into December games now, which means it’s crunch time down the stretch. It also means it’s time for the contenders to really emerge on the field and picking games. There are six weeks left. Let’s close with a big-time rush.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Atlanta Falcons (+1)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS, Paramount+)
Featured Game | Atlanta Falcons vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers are playing consecutive road games outside the division and this one is on a short week. That’s tough to do. It’s also tough to prepare for the Falcons offense on a short week. Atlanta lost a close one last week to Washington, but will bounce back here and beat the Steelers.
Pick: Falcons 23, Steelers 20
Denver Broncos at Baltimore Ravens (-8)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS, Paramount+)
Featured Game | Baltimore Ravens vs. Denver Broncos
The Broncos are lifeless on offense, which is never a good thing playing consecutive road games and especially against a team coming off a horrible loss. The Ravens haven’t exactly been lighting things up on offense, but they will do enough here to win it and make the Broncos’ season-long misery continue.
Pick: Ravens 26, Broncos 10
Green Bay Packers (-4) at Chicago Bears
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox, FuboTV)
