10. Sunday, Dec. 20. 9-4. 46. 1 p.m. ET. 4-9. CBS. IND -7

Provided Deshaun Watson is healthy, he’s great enough to keep things close. The problem is the rest of the team. Indianapolis has gotten much more from rookie running back Jonathan Taylor lately, and combined with good play from Philip Rivers, the Colts are emerging as a sleeper contender.

Pick: Indianapolis 28, Houston 23

1-12. 52. CBS. 26. Sunday, Dec. 20. 8-5. BAL -14. 1 p.m. ET

Have you seen the Jaguars lately? The Ravens know it’s must-win territory from here on out, and they act accordingly.

Pick: Baltimore 37, Jacksonville 13

1 p.m. ET. 47. CBS. Sunday, Dec. 20. 59. MIA -2.5. 6-7. 8-5

Bill Belichick is a nightmare for young quarterbacks. He always beats them, from first-year starter Patrick Mahomes (twice) to Kyler Murray and Justin Herbert this season. Herbert didn’t even score a damn point. Not great for Tua Tagovailoa and Co.

Pick: New England 20, Miami 16

42. FOX. 123. 5-8. Sunday, Dec. 20. 4-9. SF -2.5. 1 p.m. ET

This 32-year-old remembers when the 49ers and Cowboys met in January and effectively played the Super Bowl every year. This is no longer the 1990s.

Pick: Dallas 24, San Francisco 23

36. Sunday, Dec. 20. 6-7. 58. SEA -6. 9-4. FOX. 1 p.m. ET

Seattle is starting to play much better defensively, not allowing more than 23 points inane of its last five games. However, Washington has a damn good defense in its own right. The Seahawks are simply more talented, but don’t expect this to be an easy win.

Pick: Seattle 23, Washington 19

48. Sunday, Dec. 20. 4-9. TB -6. 8-5. FOX. 44. 1 p.m. ET

Tom Brady and the Bucs have an easy schedule the rest of the way, drawing Atlanta twice in the next three weeks. Matt Ryan has been awful over the past month, throwing four touchdowns against six interceptions. No reason to think the Buccaneers get tripped up.

Pick: Tampa Bay 34, Atlanta 26
