SEA -7. 57. FOX. Sunday, Dec. 26. 5-9. 36. 4-10. 4:05 p.m. ET

Two teams playing out the string. Take the better coach and quarterback, both of whom might be elsewhere next season.

Pick: Seattle 23, Chicago 17

KC -10.5. 7-6-1. 55. CBS. Sunday, Dec. 26. 10-4. 4:25 p.m. ET. 124

Pittsburgh is desperate to win, but this is a tall order. Kansas City has won seven straight and the defense has been lights out. Hard seeing the Steelers being able to score enough at Arrowhead.

Pick: Kansas City 23, Pittsburgh 13

7-7. 4:25 p.m. ET. CBS. Sunday, Dec. 26. 28. LV -1. 7-7. 45

If Drew Lock is playing, it’s impossible to pick the Broncos against any team with a modicum of talent. The Raiders are such a team.

Pick: Las Vegas 24, Denver 20

Sunday, Dec. 26. NBC. 10-4. 123. DAL -10.5. 8:20 p.m. ET. 6-8. 58

Dallas’ defense is playing really well, and the offense does enough. At some point, though, the Cowboys need Dak Prescott and Co. to get rolling.

Pick: Dallas 27, Washington 18

59. ESPN. 8:15 p.m. ET. 7-7. Monday, Dec. 27. 7-7. 15. NO -3

This is going to be a quarterback battle for the ages, and not in a good way. “HE THROWS A BOMB, AND IT’S A GAIN OF 6!”

Pick: New Orleans 17, Miami 13

Last Week: 11-3
Season: 142-78
