NFL Picks December 22: Seahawks and Rams Battle in NFC West

The NFL season has reached the final stretch of the regular season. A large number of teams are still in playoff contention so each game is vital. We take a look at five games with the Seahawks and Rams headlining the action.

Seattle Seahawks versus Los Angeles Rams

In this NFC West battle, the Seahawks travel to Los Angeles to face the Rams. Both teams enter “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator and the Rams have a +23 to +6 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. Los Angeles is a 4.5-point favorite with odds of 1.48 to 2.612 and an over/under of 45.5. The Totals Predictor indicates that the teams have been trending in games “over” the line and the Score Predictor has the Rams winning by a 34-17 score with 60 percent confidence. There is little to indicate that Seattle can win this one. Go with the Rams to win and cover, betting “over” the line.

Washington Football Team versus Philadelphia Eagles

A classic NFC East battle will take place in Philadelphia as the Eagles host Washington. Philadelphia is a 4.5-point favorite with odds of 1.41 to 2.868 and an over/under of 44.5. The Eagles are “average up” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator but Washington has a +23 to +9 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator. The teams have been trending on opposite side of the over/under line, so avoiding this bet is the wise choice. The Score Predictor has the Eagles winning by a comfortable 31-20 score with 55 percent confidence. The Eagles have been very stable, coming in at +9 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Eagles to win and cover.

Tennessee Titans versus Pittsburgh Steelers

Pittsburgh hosts Tennessee is a crucial test for the Steelers. They are a 1.5-point home underdog with odds of 1.75 to 2.05 in favor of the Titans with an over/under of 41.5. The Titans are “average up” and +25 on the Power Ranking Indicator, while the Steelers are +20 and “average down”. The Score Predictor has the Titans winning by a 29-21 margin with confidence in the prediction of 49 percent. Neither team has been particularly consistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status. The gut feeling is to go with the Steelers at home to win outright in a game “over” the line.

Green Bay Packers versus Baltimore Ravens

The Packers head to Baltimore on a roll and are “burning hot” and +30 on the Power Ranking Indicator. After losing Lamar Jackson last week, the Ravens are “average down” and +21 on the Power Ranking Indicator. Green Bay is a 4.5-point road favorite with odds of 1.45 to 2.692 and an over/under of 43.5 The Totals Predictor shows the teams are both trending in games over the line, so betting “over” is a good play. The Score Predictor has the Packers by a 34-23 score with 57 percent confidence. I like the Packers to take care of business by double digits, betting “over” the line.

Minnesota Vikings versus Chicago Bears

In this classic NFC North battle, the Bears host the Vikings. Minnesota is a 3.5-point road favorite with odds of 1.51 to 2.542 and an over/under of 44.5. The Vikings are “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +10 on the Power Ranking Indicator, while the Bears are “dead” and +9, respectively. The Score Predictor is looking at a blowout for the Vikings by the score of 40-19 with 76 percent confidence. Chicago has been very stable, according to the Team Volatility Oscillator. Minnesota should have little trouble defeating the Bears in a game going “over” the line.
