4 units on Philadelphia -4.5 (-110)

This one is simple. And no one is talking about why. I'll talk about it. The reason why this is a very simple pick is this: Philadelphia is a much better team than Atlanta. Not ...

1 unit on Green Bay -6 (-110)

OK. Could be another trap but if it is one, I'll be a victim to it. I can't see backing the Vikings here. Sure, Green Bay only won the two earlier matchups by a total of 6 point...

Las Vegas at Kansas City
Saturday 12/25 05:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Kansas City -8 (-110)

Dallas at Philadelphia
Sunday 12/19 01:00 PM Eastern
1 unit on Philadelphia -12.5 (-110)
