We were riding down I-85 over Christmas week and my son, from the back seat, kept yelling "DADDY, LOOK! DADDY, LOOK!" as he held up his iPad. I couldn't exactly stare at the thing while driving, but glancing back I could see he had the settings app open. Not your typical six-year-old type of thing to play with on a car trip, right?"Buddy what are you doing in the settings?"Turns out he was trying to connect to one of our cell phone's hot spots. Except there was a plot twist."It says a bad word!!""What???""It says F--k's iPhone!!!""WHAT????"As it turns out, some clever little punk who was also riding down the highway -- instead of opting for something normal like "Will's iPhone X" or "iPhone (2)" had decided to rename their phone "F--k Solomon Hill Jersey 's iPhone" which means that anyone who happened to be in proximity to them would see the swear word pop up if they went into their settings.I'm not even mad about it and I don't even know the point. Just wanted to tip my cup of egg nog to the little punk who caused my son to drop 400 f-bombs over the last 48 hours. Well played, F---. Well played. I will not be tipping my cap to Dave Richard. In a perfect world, you don't need a wild fourth-quarter comeback to take down a title. But sometimes it's fun to pull off a comeback. And that's exactly , as I'm trying to chase down Dave Richard for first Kendrick Nunn Jersey place. A rough afternoon slate probably cost me a tie for first place, but things are snug enough where I can walk Dave down.Don't think he doesn't hear the footsteps. Dave is the and I'm . There are ghosts haunting him right now and he knows it.Of course, if you want to make up ground in a picks league, Week 16 is probably your last legitimate chance to make a huge move. Week 17 should feature tons of teams lacking motivation and it might be easy to figure out. Let's make this last mostly meaningful week count. Christmas, 4:30 p.m. ET ( Network) Latest Odds: New Orleans Saints -6.5 The aforementioned motivation is already kicking in and we've got a prime spot to take a team more interested in winning than the other. The will still try here, don't get me wrong. But do you think Minnesota is going to give 30 carries in this spot? Or save him for next year with his hefty contract on the books by feeding and (or maybe ) in a Christmas Day game that ultimately doesn't matter for the standings? I'm thinking the latter is a lot more likely. Additionally, the can clinch the NFC South on Christmas Day and take an extended holiday bye week. Come out sharp, get some good play out of and the Saints will feel very good about their Super Bowl chances heading into the final week of the regular season. Without Everson Griffen, the Vikings shouldn't be able to limit in the pa sing game. I think he gets them the lead and salts it away.The Pick: Saints 31, Vikings 21Best Bets: Alvin Kamara over receptions 4.5, Saints -7, Latavius Murray over carries/rush yards Saturday, 1 p.m. ET (NFL Network) Latest Odds: Tampa Bay Buccaneers -12 The yanked for late against the in a game that was a blowout. With Tampa capable of pummeling some bad teams, I wouldn't want to be backing the Lions in a spot where we could ultimately see backups play for a squad that is without the majority of its coaching staff due to COVID concerns. It's the Bucs or nothing here in this Saturday matinee.The Pick: 41, Lions 17Best Bets: N/ASaturday, 4:30 p.m. ET (Amazon) Latest Odds: Arizona Cardinals -6 The po sible return of is interesting here, but I just don't know if C.J. Beathard and the have enough healthy bodies to take care of busine s against Arizona. San Francisco's the most perplexing team out there: one minute they're throttling someone, the next minute they're losing to the frigging and . This defense is short-handed and has struggled with Tyler Herro Jersey mobile QBs the last few years. is fully healthy and weaponized now based on the last two weeks. I would expect him to have a big game.The Pick: 24, 49ers 17Best Bets: Kyler Murray over rush yardsSaturday, 8:30 p.m. ET (NFL Network) Latest Odds: Miami Dolphins -2 The Impromptu Hawaii Bowl -- and become the first pair of Samoan quarterbacks to square off -- should feature a ton of points. Las Vegas can score with or without and Mariota appeared willing to really make this offense vertical during his fill in for Carr last Thursday. The offense is a little more sluggish, but the will make anyone look good, and the po sible return of and would help a ton. I actually think Mariota will surprise a lot of people here and pull off an upset. The Pick: Raiders 31, Dolphins 28Best Bets: Raiders +31 p.m. ET (CBS) Latest Odds: Chicago Bears -9.5 Are the BACK IN THE PLAYOFF HUNT??? If Chicago wins out, it could steal a bid to the postseason. Even if that doesn't happen, a 9-7 season would almost guarantee Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace keeping their Bam Adebayo Jersey jobs. You can't fire Nagy if he starts his career 12-4, 8-8, 9-7. You just can't. And if Nagy and Pace stick around, you know what's happening? A extension, that's what. Root for it, because it would be amazing. I'd expect another big game from Mitsubishi Mitch and I would be extremely interested in seeing where Vegas puts the rushing prop this week. He's coming on like gangbusters the last few weeks and the Jags defense is horrific.The Pick: Bears 31, 24Best Bets: David Montgomery over rush yards (up Tim Hardaway Jersey to 95)1 p.m. ET (CBS) Latest Odds: Cleveland Browns -6.5 We really should not be gifting this win to the . They have a chance to steal the division, but they can't do it without beating the Jets. So I'll be interested to see how Cleveland's offense comes out early. Are they looking ahead? Or will Baker Mayfield and Co. understand they need to throttle another bad team to set up a po sible Week 17 matchup. I think they show up and annihilate the Jets. No Quinnen Wiliams is a big problem for New York's rush defense and this is a team that loves to run. and should have a field day and I would anticipate lots of early play-action from Baker to get a lead. The Jets can't keep up in terms of scoring.The Pick: Browns 31, Jets 10Best Bets: Nick Chubb over rush yards1 p.m. ET (Fox) Latest Odds: Houston Texans -7.5 Hard to believe it, but we've got a big-time letdown spot for the . They just won their Super Bowl with a Monday night victory over the and the consensus is Zac Taylor saved his job for 2021 with the W. They're going to stumble into this matchup against Houston a little hungover and right now the offense and is a lot more explosive than the Steelers and Big Ben. Houston can't stop anyone, so
