For sports enthusiasts, winning weeks in the NFL picks are always satisfying. Last week, my picks went 8-7-1 against the spread and 9-7 straight up. However, considering the relative ease of the week’s matches, I’m not entirely pleased with the outcome. That feeling was confirmed when my coworker Dave Richard had an outstanding 14-1-1 record against the spread. It goes to show that the week was not particularly challenging.

As the season progresses, we are heading into December, a crucial time for teams to establish themselves as contenders for the playoffs. The upcoming fixtures are significant in determining which teams will advance to the next stage. This week presents an opportunity for a decisive performance with a significant winning margin in both against the spread and straight up predictions.

The upcoming games are critical for teams with playoff aspirations, especially the match-up between the Cowboys and Seahawks. The Cowboys have been in top form and are favored to emerge victorious. Another game to watch is the encounter between the Titans and Colts, which could have implications for the playoff race. And with the Packers meeting the Chiefs in a Monday night game, it promises to be an exciting week in the NFL.

In summary, the stakes are high as teams jostle for playoff positions with crucial games ahead. This week presents an opportunity for a decisive performance with significant winning margins in both against the spread and straight up predictions. The outcomes of these games could have far-reaching implications for the playoff race.
