<p>This game between the Falcons and Rams lost a little juice after the 49ers won Sunday night, eliminating the Rams from NFC West contention.

</h3><p>This spread has moved in the Falcons' favor after the Rams were eliminated from the NFC West race, but it's still above a converted touchdown. I'll side with the Falcons and 7.5 points at home against a traveling Los Angeles squad.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The Rams will be without Davante Adams and could look to lessen the load of other key players in preparation for a hopefully deep postseason run. Despite not earning a division crown, L.A. remains the Super Bowl favorite at theScore Bet. The team will need Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams, and key defensive players to have any hope, which means it won't overwork its starters and risk injuries in an attempt to run up the score in a meaningless game.</p><p>The Falcons aren't playing for much, either. But being the home team is beneficial, and they'll still want to put on a show for their fans in prime time.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg is our "Anytime TD Guy," providing touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Atlanta Falcons (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-LZZ35" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/LZZ35/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=791aff52-974a-4a02-a900-937c3fc3d101&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=3&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=1&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2Fee40d0d7-ed77-48bf-b910-e9d67b360f33&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3439494">Bet: Anytime TD (+200)</a>

</h3><p>Let's roll with two tight ends and go with Ferguson, who's emerged as a legit weapon in McVay's offense. The rookie has played over 73% of the offensive snaps over the last two contests, and he should see a similar workload Monday night, as the Rams lean into 13 personnel with Adams sidelined. Ferguson scored a touchdown last week, and this number provides good value compared to other Rams players in this game.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Atlanta Falcons" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-JCL7O" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/JCL7O/5/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=41b3f489-d852-4daa-adb3-9da6a856d3af&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=6&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2Fee40d0d7-ed77-48bf-b910-e9d67b360f33&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3439494">Bet: Over 4.5 receptions</a>
</h3><p>Robinson has caught 15 passes over the last two contests and has reeled in at least five balls in three of his previous four outings.

</h3><p>I'd expect to see a fairly even split in carries between Williams and Corum, a trend that's been developing for the Rams.

</h3><p>Chicago played Saturday in Week 16, while San Francisco played Monday, giving the Bears a two-day rest advantage. Still, the 49ers were beyond impressive in their blowout victory over the Colts, and returning home should somewhat mitigate that factor.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The Bears beat the Packers in dramatic fashion last week, but Green Bay's Malik Willis was under center for the majority of the game. Although Chicago continues to improve in its first season with head coach Ben Johnson, this is a difficult spot on the road after an emotional win.</p><p>I'll side with the home team in prime time. Brock Purdy put on a clinic in Indianapolis, and the Bears' defense has struggled at times this year. I'd be tempted to take Chicago if the spread moved further in San Francisco's favor, but as a field-goal favorite, the Niners are the play.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799749/Touchdown_Scorers-Green.jpg?ts=1756828040" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799749/Touchdown_Scorers-Green.jpg?ts=1756828040 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799749/Touchdown_Scorers-Green.jpg?ts=1756828040 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799749/Touchdown_Scorers-Green.jpg?ts=1756828040 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799749/Touchdown_Scorers-Green.jpg?ts=1756828040 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799749/Touchdown_Scorers-Green.jpg?ts=1756828040 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg is our "Anytime TD Guy," providing touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="San Francisco 49ers (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-jPKOv" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/jPKOv/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=59fb5218-17df-44af-ba4b-14411b915fbd&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=41&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2Fbd7840b4-1111-415d-bdc2-81c9cec4dc19&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3435804">Bet: Anytime TD (+110)</a>
</h3><p>Jennings has been on a tear in recent weeks, finding the end zone seven times over his last seven outings. With George Kittle banged up, we expect Jennings to get a heavy workload Sunday.

</h3><p>There's not much long-shot value in this game, so we'll go with Chicago's standout rookie.

</h3><p>If Kittle is ruled out, McCaffrey will be even more involved in the passing game than usual.

</h3><p>The market views these two teams as fairly close but suggests the Chargers are slightly better by making them lay 2.5 points at home. I don't believe that's the case.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The Texans' defense is the best unit in this game by a wide margin - it's rated as the best defense in the league, according to <a href="https://sumersports.com/teams/defensive/">SumerSports</a>' expected points added per play (EPA/play). The Chargers' defense is tied for seventh in the league, which is still really good but not quite as much of a difference-maker. Plus, the Chargers' offensive line is one of the worst in the NFL, while the Texans have Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter to cause problems for Justin Herbert.</p><p>I expect this to be a low-scoring affair, so I'll side with the better defensive team and hope Houston can win the turnover battle.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Game 5 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-7lDla" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/7lDla/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="126" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=bd6660be-ceb1-41d0-8c61-43ebc917f2bb&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=21&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=11&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;=3434781">Pick: Ravens (+4.5)</a>
</h3><p>Tyler Huntley gets the nod for the Ravens with Lamar Jackson sidelined due to a back injury. On the other side of the field, Jordan Love and Malik Willis are both questionable. Love has yet to clear concussion protocol and is also dealing with a left shoulder injury. Willis will be ready to play through his own right shoulder injury if Love can't go.</p><p>The Packers have clinched a playoff spot, so rushing Love back at less than 100% doesn't seem smart. This line assumes Love starts, because there's no way Willis deserves to be a 4.5-point favorite.</p><p>I'll side with the Ravens, who are fighting for their playoff lives and will be eliminated with a loss. </p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799749/Touchdown_Scorers-Green.jpg?ts=1756828040" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799749/Touchdown_Scorers-Green.jpg?ts=1756828040 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799749/Touchdown_Scorers-Green.jpg?ts=1756828040 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799749/Touchdown_Scorers-Green.jpg?ts=1756828040 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799749/Touchdown_Scorers-Green.jpg?ts=1756828040 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799749/Touchdown_Scorers-Green.jpg?ts=1756828040 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg is our "Anytime TD Guy," providing touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Los Angeles Chargers" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-YQn03" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/YQn03/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=89f39021-e5e0-4c8b-93df-f67ffd8e4d56&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=49&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F2053f856-cc61-49ae-a9d8-72cf3489e48b&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3434781">Bet: Anytime TD (+145)</a>
</h3><p>Houston's defense ranks first in EPA/dropback and second in pass success rate while allowing the second-fewest touchdowns to opposing wideouts. It's going to be tough sledding for Herbert and this air attack, so we'll go with Hampton, who's set for a heavy workload with Kimani Vidal banged up. The Texans' weakness is their inability to hold teams when they're inside the 20-yard line: They rank 23rd in red-zone defense this year.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Houston Texans (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Nss7t" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Nss7t/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=f0738ad9-c393-4fc6-b888-5616d3061efb&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=15&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=4&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F2053f856-cc61-49ae-a9d8-72cf3489e48b&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3434781">Bet: Anytime TD (+275)</a>
</h3><p>Schultz has been massive for the Texans of late, hauling in 23 of 26 targets for 188 yards over their last four games. He's scored in back-to-back contests, and these are great odds for a player who's heavily involved in Houston's game plan.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Baltimore Ravens (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-XRIE3" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/XRIE3/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="93" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=c721cefd-9dba-42e0-a9bc-eb7bbf2ed750&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=2&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=1&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2Fc8e78bc7-fd52-4e5f-a0af-1f83a5e71afb&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3434781">Bet: Anytime TD (+100)</a>
</h3><p>It's hard to trust anyone other than Henry to score in this game with Tyler Huntley set to start.

</h3><p>With Christian Watson questionable and Josh Jacobs clearly not 100%, Doubs is the best pick on Green Bay's offense. He was Malik Willis' favorite target last week, hauling in 86 yards and a touchdown.

</h3><p>I won't read too much into the Eagles' 11-point win over the Commanders last week. Washington was forced to turn to Josh Johnson, and the Commanders' defense can't stop anyone. The Eagles still don't look like a team that's going to make a run in the NFC playoffs, and they're outclassed in this matchup in Buffalo.</p><p>The Bills are starting to play their best football. They beat the Patriots two weeks ago on the road and picked up another victory against a tough defense in Cleveland. The AFC East crown is still up for grabs, while the Eagles have already secured the NFC East but are unlikely to make up enough ground to earn the conference's No. 1 seed. The Bills should be able to win this one comfortably.</p><p><strong>Confidence level: ★★★★★</strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>👉 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3434944">Check out all of the Week 17 lines available on theScore Bet here</a></strong></p></blockquote><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796812/Early_slate-Red.jpg?ts=1754580898" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796812/Early_slate-Red.jpg?ts=1754580898 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796812/Early_slate-Red.jpg?ts=1754580898 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796812/Early_slate-Red.jpg?ts=1754580898 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796812/Early_slate-Red.jpg?ts=1754580898 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796812/Early_slate-Red.jpg?ts=1754580898 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><strong>Jump to:</strong> <a href="#Late%20Slate">Late slate</a></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Game 5 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-lp4c3" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/lp4c3/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="126" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://espnbet.app.link/integrations?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=205ef900-8b28-4473-8690-5421c1096fb7&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=43&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=23&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3434944">Pick: Seahawks (-6.5)</a>
</h3><p>Both of these teams are coming off massive wins that gave them the top spot in their respective divisions. At first, I tried to argue that the Seahawks would be susceptible to a letdown game, but I quickly realized the Panthers may already be focused on next week's meeting with the Buccaneers - if they win, they punch their ticket to the playoffs.</p><p>This is a tough game to predict. However, the Seahawks are fighting for the top seed in the NFC and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Miami just got blown out at home by the Bengals, a team that rates similarly to the Bucs, and still does not have an answer at quarterback.

Their season is essentially over, having dropped to +3500 to make the playoffs after last week's loss.

The Steelers are impressing on both sides of the ball, highlighted by their win over the Lions last week in Detroit. On the other hand, the Browns may have given it their all last week, narrowly losing to the Bills by three points.

<p>Move aside, NBA - the NFL is taking over Christmas Day. </p><p>However, the three-game slate on deck to accompany Thursday's festivities looked a lot more appetizing before the season started. Now, injuries and poor performances have taken the shine off four of the six teams hitting the field.</p><p>The Cowboys, Commanders, Vikings, and Chiefs have all been eliminated from the playoffs. Jayden Daniels and Patrick Mahomes are sidelined, while J.J.

</h3><p>There's a good chance Marcus Mariota will sit out this game due to a hand injury, a leg injury, or both. Mariota exited Week 16's contest and was replaced by veteran Josh Johnson, who's a third-string quarterback for a reason. I'd expect this line to move further in the Cowboys' favor if Johnson gets the nod for Washington.</p><p>Even if Mariota plays, I don't see how the Commanders can score enough points to keep up with the Cowboys. Both teams have terrible defenses, with Washington allowing the second-most yards per game and Dallas surrendering the third-most. The Cowboys are the ones to back because their offense can score 40 points any given week. Meanwhile, the Commanders' offense can't do that.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Game 5 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-JwjXP" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/JwjXP/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="126" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🎁 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=2ec137a6-2c6b-40b0-8688-2d93b6911663&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=21&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=11&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3434733">Pick: Lions (-6.5)</a>
</h3><p>McCarthy may miss this matchup with a hand injury, which means Max Brosmer could get his second start of the season. Brosmer's first outing was one of the worst by a starting quarterback this year, throwing four interceptions, taking four sacks, and completing 19 of 30 passes for 126 yards against the Seahawks.</p><p>Detroit still has a chance to make the playoffs, but a win here is essential to keep its hopes alive. The club is on its first two-game losing streak since the start of 2023, and I'd be shocked if it dropped three in a row.</p><p>The Lions are playing indoors in a must-win matchup, potentially facing Brosmer, and are favored by just 6.5 points.

</h3><p>Mahomes tore his ACL two weeks ago before Gardner Minshew injured his knee in his first start as the replacement. The Chiefs are having a horrible run of luck at quarterback to close out the campaign, capping one of the most forgettable years for the organization in decades. Andy Reid now turns to Chris Oladokun, a 2022 seventh-round pick by the Steelers, who's set to make his first NFL start.</p><p>This is a huge spread for a divisional game, but I can't make a strong enough case for the Chiefs, especially after last week's 26-9 loss to the lowly Titans. You have to imagine Kansas City's players have checked out at this point, a stark contrast from the Super Bowl aspirations they opened the season with.</p><p>Despite this meeting having much less intrigue than a few weeks ago, I expect a huge effort from the Broncos, since they're still fighting for the AFC's top seed.</p><p><em>US: Must be 21+.

<p>Phillip Rivers is still starting in prime-time games in 2025. If you told me that five years ago, there's no chance I would have believed you, but here we are for what <em>should</em> be Rivers' prime-time send-off.

</h3><p>Sorry, Colts fans, but I don't see a scenario where backing Rivers getting fewer than seven points makes sense. Yes, the Colts played well in his first start in Seattle, but the Seahawks did the bare minimum to secure the win and quickly turned their attention to the Thursday nighter against the Rams (and that strategy worked out).</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The 49ers have nearly secured their playoff spot, but they also have a shot at winning their division after the Rams' loss. Motivation will not be a question for San Francisco, while it could be for the Colts, whose season has taken a drastic turn for the worse amid a four-game losing streak.</p><p>The 49ers average the fourth-most passing yards per game (246.1) while the Colts give up the second-most (247.6). Purdy and a healthy crop of receiving options should be able to pick apart a bad Colts secondary that will be without Sauce Gardner for the fourth straight game.</p><p>The Rivers story was nice for a week, but I think his age and four-year absence from the NFL get exposed in this matchup against a hungry 49ers side.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg is our "Anytime TD Guy," providing touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="San Francisco 49ers (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-jPKOv" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/jPKOv/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=754e1952-3c6d-47ee-b46a-71e76e71a91b&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=51&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F77855ce7-bf10-4cf0-9160-d33b81dce3ea&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3432080">Bet: Anytime TD (+155)</a>
</h3><p>With Ricky Pearsall out again, Jennings should be the 49ers' top wideout. He leads San Francisco in routes run (171) and receiving touchdowns (six) since Nov. 1.

</h3><p>Warren leads the Colts in red-zone targets (13) and touchdowns (four) this season. The rookie tight end rarely leaves the field, playing over 86% of the offensive snaps over his last eight games. Shane Steichen needs to get creative with Rivers starting at quarterback, and Warren is a mismatch nightmare for opposing defenses.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Indianapolis Colts (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-i15fq" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/i15fq/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=649dda5e-9a94-4930-b77e-ce0e351e5bf3&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=12&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=5&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F77855ce7-bf10-4cf0-9160-d33b81dce3ea&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3432080">Bet: Over: 3.5 receptions</a>
</h3><p>Rivers targeted a running back on 9 of 27 passing attempts last week in Seattle. Taylor caught three of those attempts, and Ameer Abdullah caught five. I don't expect the Colts to be as competitive in this game as they were with the Seahawks, meaning the Colts won't have the luxury of taking their best player off the field. Taylor should see an uptick in usage in the passing game since Abdullah is unlikely to be as involved on third downs.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Indianapolis Colts (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-wKToB" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/wKToB/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=3557b7ce-18ff-4ffb-8c01-4513178bfd58&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=6&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F77855ce7-bf10-4cf0-9160-d33b81dce3ea&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3432080">Bet: Under 27.5 receiving yards</a>

There are a lot of mouths to feed in Indianapolis: Michael Pittman Jr., Tyler Warren, and Alec Pierce are all competing for targets. Downs' role is diminished with Rivers under center since the Colts no longer have a mid-range passing attack.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="San Francisco 49ers (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-8GdDi" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/8GdDi/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=df758740-7def-4f65-8419-c11662015f63&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=41&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=21&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F77855ce7-bf10-4cf0-9160-d33b81dce3ea&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3432080">Bet: Under 17.5 rushing attempts</a>
</h3><p>McCaffrey's had 17 or fewer rushing attempts in four of his last six games, and the 49ers shouldn't overwork him now that they've clinched a playoff spot. They're unlikely to catch the Seahawks to win the NFC West, so putting their best player at risk wouldn't be wise. Additionally, the Colts are difficult to run on, allowing only 95.1 rush yards per game (fourth fewest in the league). If the 49ers get a comfortable lead, I'd expect Brian Robinson Jr. to get involved to keep McCaffrey healthy.</p><p><em>US: Must be 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER; Hope is here.

</h3><p>This is a rather simple handicap. The Patriots have a better offense and defense and a far superior record to show for it. Their offense ranks sixth in <a href="https://sumersports.com/teams/offensive/">SumerSports</a>' expected points added per play (EPA/play), and their defense is 12th.

</h3><p>This spread originally had the Rams as 1.5-point favorites, which didn't feel like a sufficient enough shift from the closing spread in their Week 11 meeting when the Rams were 3.5-point favorites at home.</p><p>However, the spread has moved to make the Seahawks slight favorites following the news that Davante Adams is doubtful to play due to a hamstring injury. Seattle as a 1.5-point favorite feels like the right number, but the Seahawks remain the side to take.</p><p>The market may be undervaluing the Seahawks slightly after they let the Phillip Rivers-led Colts hang around last week, failing to cover as 13.5-point favorites. However, the Colts' defense is no pushover, and it was the reason why Indianapolis was able to keep it close. The Rams' defense has played well this season, but they did concede 34 points to the Lions at home last week.</p><p>I expect the Seahawks' offense to rebound after squeaking out a win in a lookahead spot last week. Both teams are well-coached, so I don't expect either side to be underprepared. But I'll happily take the home team on a short week in what should be a very close and exciting contest.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg is our "Anytime TD Guy," providing touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Seattle Seahawks (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-bzBAS" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/bzBAS/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=93d29fc3-c66a-4438-ba45-00a4d5ae88df&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=43&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2Fa83db92a-8db6-4b1d-9db1-f8a2cf33cb68&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3428306">Bet: Anytime TD (+115)</a>

</h3><p>Parkinson has been on a tear in recent weeks, recording six touchdowns in his last six games. With Davante Adams out of the picture, Parkinson should see a heavy workload inside the red zone. He leads the Rams in receiving yards inside the 20-yard line, and his 13 red-zone targets are tied with Adams for the most on the team. Seattle's biggest weakness defensively is covering tight ends, as it's surrendered the third-most receptions and fourth-most yards to the position.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Seattle Seahawks (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-k6ASc" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/k6ASc/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.thescore.bet/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=547f03f5-2e50-4bf0-b2ab-bc332245a4df&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=21&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=11&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2Fa83db92a-8db6-4b1d-9db1-f8a2cf33cb68&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3429306">Bet: Under 45.5 rushing yards</a>

</h3><p>In light of the Adams injury, the Rams are left with Nacua and not much else at wide receiver. Even if Adams played, this would be an enticing total to bet.

</h3><p>I don't expect this to be the most exciting game of the week. The total is only 41.5 points, and the weather should play right into the Steelers' hands. Aaron Rodgers is more than familiar with playing in the cold, as are many key pieces on the Steelers' defense.</p><p>The Dolphins aren't built for the cold, especially not quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. He's 1-7 lifetime in games where it was below 46 degrees Fahrenheit (7.7 degrees Celsius) and 0-5 in games below 40F (4.4C), according to the <a href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/sports/nfl/dolphins/2025/12/11/miami-dolphins-tua-tagovailoa-cold-pittsburgh-steelers/87719078007/">Palm Beach Post's Joe Schad</a>.

</h3><p>Siding with the Cowboys and laying 6.5 points might be risky, but they've been playing quality football over the past month. Although they lost 44-30 to the Lions last Thursday, few offenses are as potent as Detroit's, and the Vikings certainly aren't one of them.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The Cowboys have the rest advantage and are at home with something left to play for this season. Dak Prescott is also having a fantastic campaign, perhaps one of the best of his career, and he'll have his full arsenal of weapons available with CeeDee Lamb clearing concussion protocol.</p><p>Additionally, the market may be overinflating the Vikings after they dismantled the Commanders 31-0. But J.J. McCarthy didn't have anything to do with Washington committing three turnovers, and he'll face a much tougher test keeping up with Dallas' offense on the road.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg is our "Anytime TD Guy," providing touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Minnesota Vikings (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Fm988" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Fm988/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=cea5e2a9-ccd7-4131-87d0-fa7e837361b3&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=4&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F9f0374b4-d168-447c-b54f-809ff4bb9ba3&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3424659">Bet: Anytime TD (+175)</a>

However, we shouldn't be too concerned about the quarterback not making it through this game, especially after watching Aaron Rodgers handle a broken wrist in his non-throwing hand.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Although the Eagles' defense does a solid job of limiting points, they've been vulnerable on the ground, giving up 128.9 rushing yards per game (10th-most in the league). To make matters worse, Philly will be without Jalen Carter to clog up the middle of the field. Meanwhile, the Chargers are welcoming back Omarion Hampton, giving them a nice one-two punch with Kimani Vidal. The boost in the backfield should help Los Angeles control the clock and keep Herbert out of harm's way.</p><p>This pick is more of a play against the Eagles than one for the Chargers. Philadelphia has looked disjointed for a month, failing to score more than 21 points in four November outings. The Chargers also boast a strong defense that's holding opponents to the second-fewest yards (292.2) and 11th-fewest points (21) per game. Monday's contest likely won't turn into a shootout, with the game total at 41.5 points, which makes backing the home underdog a smart side to take.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796854/Touchdown_Scorers-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583302" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796854/Touchdown_Scorers-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583302 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796854/Touchdown_Scorers-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583302 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796854/Touchdown_Scorers-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583302 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796854/Touchdown_Scorers-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583302 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796854/Touchdown_Scorers-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583302 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg is our "Anytime TD Guy," providing touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Los Angeles Chargers" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-YQn03" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/YQn03/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=1ffd558e-7434-423f-9a2c-8ae0079edc2a&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=57&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F1cf8b473-fc80-400f-9ee7-ce2bcc5a1c99&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3422325">Bet: Anytime TD (+185)</a>
</h3><p>The rookie rusher returns Monday night after missing significant time with an ankle injury. Hampton was a workhorse for Los Angeles before the issue, playing over 77% of the offensive snaps in his last four contests.

</h3><p>Passing on these odds is tough since Goedert has seven touchdowns in 11 games this season. The 30-year-old leads the Eagles in red-zone receptions in 2025 and will face a Chargers defense that's allowed the sixth-most scores to opposing tight ends.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Los Angeles Chargers" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-YQn03" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/YQn03/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=47b636ef-c5a4-4df5-b381-d4c86fa0d6ea&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=23&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=13&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F1cf8b473-fc80-400f-9ee7-ce2bcc5a1c99&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3422325">Bet: Over 11.5 rushing attempts</a>
</h3><p>While Hampton is expected to split time with Vidal, he should still see a bunch of work in his return. Given the Eagles' struggles against the run and Herbert nursing a broken hand, the Chargers' game plan should be straightforward: rush the ball frequently. Even if Vidal handles 10 carries, Hampton should still hit this over, something he's done in four of five games this year.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Los Angeles Chargers (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-TTGe6" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/TTGe6/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=1c70eb4e-cef1-4e4f-9e9a-801d22ff8c55&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=43&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F1cf8b473-fc80-400f-9ee7-ce2bcc5a1c99&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3422325">Bet: Over 1.5 receptions</a>

</h3><p>The calendar has flipped to December, meaning it's time for Patrick Mahomes and Co. to start their run. Typically, the Chiefs would have a better record than this, but I still believe they have some tricks up their sleeves.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The Chiefs are 5-6-1 against the spread (ATS) this season but 4-1-1 at home. It should be a cold, tough game under the lights, and I'm not sure the Texans will be prepared coming from their comfy indoor stadium.</p><p>The Texans' defense is no joke and could lead them to a deep playoff run, but I still have major concerns about Houston's offensive line and its ability to keep C.J. Stroud upright.</p><p>The total of this game is set at 41.5, meaning the betting market expects a lower-scoring affair. But I'll still take my chances with Mahomes at Arrowhead only needing to cover slightly more than a field goal.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg is our "Anytime TD Guy," providing touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Kansas City Chiefs (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Os6eT" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Os6eT/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=9afdc1e4-e3b1-4f55-a548-7c30e435925a&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=31&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=10&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2Fe9f604db-5172-4cb7-adad-c7095ab6a97c&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3418774">Bet: Anytime TD (+210)</a>

He ranks third on Houston in routes run, targets, receptions, and receiving yards over the last four games.

World Cup odds: Spain, England remain top favorites following draw

Formula 1's drivers' championship comes down to the calendar's final race: the Abu Dhabi Grand Pr...

<p>Formula 1's drivers' championship comes down to the calendar's final race: the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.</p><p>Points leader Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, and Oscar Piastri all have a chance to claim the sport's highest honor. This is the tightest points race since Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton battled it out during the final lap in 2021, and the first time since 2010 that at least three drivers are in contention going into the season's last race.</p><p>However, Norris is the betting favorite and firmly in the driver's seat. The 26-year-old is -350 (77.8% implied probability) to claim his first career championship thanks to scenarios where he can take home the title without winning Sunday. Verstappen (+275) and Piastri (+1600) not only need to win the final race, but they also need help from other drivers to capture the championship.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><h3>F1 odds</h3><figure class="article-segment--table"><div class="table-responsive"><table>

</table></div></figure><p>If Norris finishes on the podium Sunday, the championship is his. He won at the desert circuit last year but hasn't achieved another podium finish in his five other career starts at the track. However, things get very interesting if Norris fails to secure a top-three result.</p><p>Verstappen is the favorite to win the finale, but he needs Norris to finish fourth or worse, even if he claims his eighth grand prix of the year. It's also hard to envision a scenario where Verstappen finishes second, Piastri doesn't win, and Norris comes eighth or worse. Simply put, Verstappen has to win to have any shot of claiming a fifth straight world title, which hasn't been done since Michael Schumacher's run of dominance from 2000-04.</p><p>Piastri needs to win, plus get a disastrous result from his McLaren teammate, to win the championship in his third year in F1. His slim chances are reflected in his +1600 betting odds, but the young Australian still has hope.</p><p>However the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix shakes out, the intrigue is at an all-time high with so much uncertainty entering the final race - something rarely seen in Formula 1.</p><p><em>US: Must be 21+.
