There will be no coal in my picking stocking this year, even if some out there think I am The Grinch.
With the holidays upon us, I got my first Christmas gift last week when I went 9-5-1 with my picks against the spread and 12-4 straight up. That brings my ATS record to 110-103-11and my straight-up picks record to 136-88. Being seven games over .500 ATS sure is a nice feeling as we head to Christmas weekend.
Let’s keep it going with a nice Week 16. I want nothing but good feelings this Christmas, and giving me a second straight week of good picks would be another nice present for me — and hopefully for you.

This is a big game in terms of playoffs for both teams. The Rams are one of the surprise teams in the league with a lot of young players getting the job done on both sides. The Saints have had struggles on the road, but I think their defense will keep them in this one. Rams take it, but it’s tight.
Pick: Rams 23, Saints 21

This is essentially a playoff game because the loser is basically done. The Bengals have won three straight with Jake Browning, but playing a division rival on the road is a challenge. The Steelers haven’t been good on offense all year, so they are turning to Mason Rudolph at quarterback. He won’t be the reason they win it, but the defense will be.
Pick: Steelers 26, Bengals 23

The Bills have won two straight against two top teams and now get to play a Chargers team that has an interim coach and a quarterback making his second start. The Buffalo offense has really played well the past few weeks, and that will continue here. Josh Allen will complete more than the seven passes he hit last week as the Bills roll on.
Pick: Bills 31, Chargers 17
