First and foremost...big props to Ricky for putting together Gotpicks almost 8 years ago. I'm glad you did it and it's been good hanging out with you in Vegas and Miami. Looking forward to next year's Canes game at the Rock bro!

Let's get to it....

Good week last week 4-2 ATS. I will start bowl picks around 12.28 and try to make that loot. Traditionally I'm a bowl monster and honestly, I'm going to be very selective this year, maybe 4-5 bowl game tops, but they are all 4 stars or bigger.

NFL 12-24

Oakland @ KC

I'm a chiefs fan, and I can tell you this. Every year, this game is the most heated rivalry for the Chiefs and Raider nation. This year, KC punked Oaktown 28-0 and picked Oakland QB's an incredible 6 times in one game. My trend play here is on the under and I see no reason to take it again. The total is 42 and it smells like a trap, but maybe that line is for Joe Public because Chiefs fans know this game is always hard hitting and usually an under contest. Let's look at the numbers:

**KC is 5-0 ATS on the under at home in their last 5.

**Oakland/KC @ Arrowhead is 6-1 ATS on the under in the last 7.

**The total is 8-2 ATS on the under the last 10 times these teams have played.

**KC is 10-4 ATS on the under this year.

Guys, I'm on it and expect it to go down by kick tomorrow. Both teams are still playing for something. Romeo Cronell is now the interim head coach and is defense first coaching. I gotta take the under. Palmer and Orton are not going to throw all over the field. Defenses are gonna play smashmouth. KC doesn't have any big play options.

San Diego @ Detroit

Not a big write up here. Chargers are clicking offensively and the Lions offense can be a juggernaut. San Diego is 7-1 ATS on the over in their last 8 road games. No reason to think it won't happen again today.

PC 1.5** on over 52 1/2

San Fran @ Seattle
Two very good defensive teams. San Fran is the worst red zone team this year and Seattle's defense is great at stopping the run. San Fran is also going to key on Marshawn and force Alex to beat them in the air. In addition, Seattle is not an easy place to kick. This game has the makings of a defensive battle. I'm taking the under.
