Week 15 didn't feel like it was going to end for a second, right? With all the rescheduled games and the Saturday window now opening up, we just went through the football-watching gauntlet of five days worth of games over a six-day stretch. While it may have
DaQuan Jeffries Jersey felt like a slog at times, those who followed my picks over this run received an early Christmas gift.On the Week 15 slate, we went 11-5 ATS and 13-3 ML. As for our locks of the week, those went 4-1 ATS. It's a perfect time to start heating up with the playoffs around the corner and we'll look to continue that positive trend as we look forward to Week 16. Locks of the Week ATS: 44-27-4ATS:109-111-4ML:140-83-1The Cardinals were embarra sed by the in Week 15 and are losers in two straight. With their backs against the fall and now tied with the for first place in the NFC West, it's make or break for Arizona and I expect them to bounce back on Saturday. Facing and the Colts will not be an easy task, but the Cardinals do rank 9th in the NFL In DVOA against the run this season. If they can limit Taylor, -- who threw for just 57 yards last week against the -- likely won't be able to

Projected score: Cardinals 27, Colts 23The pick: Cardinals -1Which NFL picks can you make with confidence, and which Super Bowl contender will go down hard?, all from a proven computer model on a 133-96 roll on NFL picks. Cleveland is in a tough spot. They are coming off the heels of feeling the wrath of COVID-19 which moved their Week 15 game from Saturday to Monday and will now have to prepare for Aaron Rodgers and the red-hot Packers on an extremely short week as they play on Saturday. Green Bay is playing as good as any team in the NFL right now and has been a superb team to back all season, owning an 11-3 ATS record (tied for the best in the NFL). When the Packers own the rest advantage, they are 2-0 ATS this season. Meanwhile, Cleveland is under .500 on the year ATS and is 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall.Projected score: Packers 28, Browns 20The pick: Packers -7New York is dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak, but it is early enough in the week where players and coaches have time to clear the NFL's updated protocols. With that said, the Jets were able to hang in there with the last week. They had a lead going into halftime for the first time all season and were even tied at 24 midway through the fourth quarter, but they couldn't pull it together to walk away with the win. They'll now get a much easier opponent in the Jaguars on Sunday, so this presents an opportunity to put together a more compete game. Jacksonville has been abysmal as of late and is averaging just 7.7 points per game over the last three weeks. While the Jets won't be hoisting a Lombardi Trophy

Despite the 2-11-1 record on the season, they are 9-5 ATS, which is tied for the second-best mark in the NFL entering Week 16. They are fresh off a surprisingly dominant win over the Cardinals and now head down to face the Falcons, who are 0-5 ATS at home this season. Detroit has shown us that they'll keep their games close, so I'll gladly pocket six points against an Atlanta squad that is a league-worst -14.8 in point differential at home. Projected score: Lions 24, Falcons 21The pick: Lions +6The Patriots rarely have two poor showings in a row and I don't expect that to be the case on Sunday when they host the Bills in what could be a matchup that effectively determines the AFC East title. While we can't really take anything from that windy game between these two teams a few weeks ago, New England's struggles against Indy last Saturday are correctable. also flashed some of his potential
Dewayne Dedmon Jersey late in that game, which should give the Patriots confidence that the rookie can throw his way to a win. While Buffalo did pull out a win against Carolina, it was still a choppy showing with completing 55.8% of his pa ses. With this spread sitting under the field goal threshold, I'll go with a New England team that is 5-0 ATS in their last five games as the favorite.Projected score: Patriots 27, Bills 23The pick: Patriots -2.5 at Projected score: 49ers 27, Titans 24The pick: Titans +3.5 at Projected score: Bengals 31, Ravens 27The pick: Bengals -2.5Rams at Projected score: Rams 28, Vikings 26The pick: Vikings +3 at Projected score: Eagles 27, Giants 14The pick: Eagles -10 at Projected score: Buccaneers 30, Panthers 17The pick: Buccaneers -11 at Projected score: Chargers 28, Texans 17The pick: Chargers -9.5 at Projected score: Seattle 24, Bears 17The pick: Seahawks -6.5 at Projected score: Chiefs 33, Steelers 21The pick: Chiefs -9.5 at Projected score: Raiders 24, Broncos 21The pick: Raiders -1Washington at
