This article is part of our NFL Picks series.
While my picks weren't so merry last week, I've been swept up in the holiday bliss a bit the past couple of days. It's a privilege to dole out essentially .500 advice to you each and every week, and it's one I don't take lightly. I've enjoyed reading a number of my colleagues write up columns against the spread, create outstanding player prop articles or highlight a whole bunch of different tendencies over the years, and it's been an honor to join the ranks this season to provide what I believe is some of the best betting coverage any site offers today. Shout out to John McKechnie for identifying me as someone who could proudly carry this column for the entire year, and a special shoutout to the dynamic duo of John and Nick Whalen, who have been carrying the Circa Sports RotoWire tradition all year long.
Given it's a holiday week, I'm going to just post my picks and a few of the best bets without any written support to accompany them. We'll be back next week in full force to review all the pitfalls that will be sure to follow, but if these don't whet your appetite, remember RotoWire has a brand new Picks and Props tool, which can help you identify some of the best picks and plays across different options.
