Goodbye byes, hello playoff races. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, the homestretch for the NFL season is heating up. This is the final week for byes, as the Cardinals, Chargers, Chiefs and Vikings are off.
Teams haven't fared too well off a bye, going 8-16 straight up and 9-15 against the spread. Teams in that spot this week are the Giants, Packers, Seahawks and Titans.
Favorites went 9-4-1 ATS last week, but underdogs still lead 89-70-3.
My most confident picks ATS this week are the Ravens, Seahawks, Jets and Titans. Avoid (and don't watch) Lions-Redskins and Steelers-Bengals.
