• ATS: MIN -6.5 (65%)

• Total: o50.5 (88%)

• ATS: SEA -6.5 (66%)
• Total: o46 (63%)

Los Angeles Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs
• SU: LAC (62%)
• ATS: LAC -3.5 (54%)
• Total o44 (80%)
Blair Kerkhoff, the Kansas City Star - “The Chargers are likely to be without end Joey Bosa and receiver Keenan Allen, but look for them to finish the job Sunday and end their season on a high note.”

• SU: LV (71%)
• ATS: LV -2.5 (58%)
• Total: u51 (75%)

• SU: ARI (62%)
• ATS: ARI -3 (54%)
• Total: o40.5 (65%)

Mike Florio, Pro Football Talk - “The top seed remains a possibility, enough of one to get the Saints to go all out in an effort to capture it.”
Washington Football Team @ Philadelphia Eagles

• ATS : WAS -3.5 (54%)
