The NFL season is quickly winding down. We have only two weeks of the regular season to play before playoffs, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have games left to wager on.
There are some very intriguing matchups this weekend, and we will take full advantage — we still have some Christmas shopping to do.

Betting odds: Baltimore Ravens at Los Angeles Chargers
- Spread: Chargers -4
- Over/Under: 43.5
- Time: Saturday, 8:20 p.m. ET
- TV channel: NFL Network
The Ravens are 4-1 with Lamar Jackson at quarterback — impressive, to be sure, but it’s necessary to note that was against the five worst defenses in football.
Now the Ravens head on the road to face a solid Chargers defense and team that’s playing great. Melvin Gordon is also expected to make his return.
Jackson and the Ravens will finally be slowed down a bit as the Chargers continue their playoff push.
THE PICK: Chargers -4
Betting odds: Chicago Bears at San Francisco 49ers
- Spread: Bears -4
- Over/Under: 43
- Time: Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET
- TV channel: FOX
I think this number is being too heavily influenced by the Niners’ wins over the Broncos and Seahawks in back-to-back weeks.
The Niners are still a very bad team, and the Bears are chasing a potential bye in the NFC playoffs.
The bottom line is that San Francisco will not be able to keep pressure off Nick Mullens, so the play here is to back Chicago’s monstrous defense.
THE PICK: Bears -4
Betting odds: Kansas City Chiefs at Seattle Seahawks
- Spread: Chiefs -2.5
- Over/Under: 54
- Time: Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET
- TV channel: NBC
This is a combination of things.
First, the Chiefs have struggled a bit over the past three weeks. Second, the Seahawks were a team everyone was very high on … until their loss at San Francisco.
Seattle is still a good team, but Kansas City has a dynamic offense capable of making this a long day for the Seahawks. If the Chiefs jump out to a quick lead, it could prove to be too much.
THE PICK: Seahawks -2.5
