4-11. SF -12.5. 4:05 p.m. ET. 10. CBS. Sunday, Jan. 2. 8-7. 42

The Niners are dealing with health issues at quarterback, and Davis Mills is somehow good for the Texans, but this is a tall order for Houston on the road.

Pick: San Francisco 21, Houston 13

13. LAC -5.5. 4:05 p.m. ET. Sunday, Jan. 2. 45. CBS. 8-7. 7-8

Drew Lock is going to make sure the Chargers don’t manage to blow another game. If nothing else, Lock is great insurance for such an occasion.

Pick: Los Angeles 23, Denver 19

32. FOX. Sunday, Jan. 2. 10-5. DAL -5.5. 4:25 p.m. ET. 11-4. 123

Huge game in the NFC, and expect the Cowboys to keep rolling. They’re defensive line is going to overwhelm Arizona in the trenches.

Pick: Dallas 33, Arizona 26

36. SEA -7. FOX. 5-10. Sunday, Jan. 2. 4:25 p.m. ET. 2-12-1. 50

Don’t be surprised if the Lions win this game. Seattle is absolutely fried from a competitive and emotional standpoint.

Pick: Seattle 20, Detroit 17

5-10. 87. FOX. Sunday, Jan. 2. 7-8. 15. NO -7. 4:25 p.m. ET

If the Saints win, there’s a great chance they only need to beat the Falcons in Week 18 and make it to the playoffs.

Pick: New Orleans 19, Carolina 13

NBC. Sunday, Jan. 2. 8:20 p.m. ET. 7-8. 12-3. 49. GB -6.5. 60

No Adam Thielen. No ability to play consistently. No national stage ever too big for embarrassment. The Packers win, because the Vikings won’t have it any other way.

Pick: Green Bay 30, Minnesota 24

Monday, Jan. 3. 55. 8:15 p.m. ET. 7-8. 53. ESPN. 7-7-1. CLE -3

If you love horrific quarterback play and a complete inability to close games, this is for you.

Pick: Pittsburgh 23, Cleveland 21

Last Week: 11-5
Season: 153-83
