Playoff implications. Get used to those two words because you’ll be hearing them often over the next month. From Ravens-Browns in the AFC North to Rams-Cardinals in the NFC West and a couple others in between, this week’s games could go a long way in determining who’s playing in the middle of January.
Underdogs went 6-8 against the spread (ATS) last week but still have a big lead for the season at 102-89-2.
My three most confident picks ATS this week are Washington, Tampa Bay and Seattle. There’s no true "stay-away" game but be careful with Atlanta-Carolina and Baltimore-Cleveland.
