The drama never stops in the NFL.
With three weeks left in the regular season, 26 teams are still alive for playoff berths.
That includes teams we didn’t expect, like the Colts, Texans, Browns and Vikings.
Then there are the Bills. They might be the most dangerous team in the league, but they wouldn’t even be in the playoffs if the season ended today.
It’s going to be a wild finish to the year, that’s for sure.
When looking at the Week 16 slate, I like a couple of early bets. Here are my three favorite wagers.
All times ET Sunday
Indianapolis Colts @ Atlanta Falcons (1 p.m., FOX and FOX Sports App)
I hate myself for this, but the Falcons are the play.
Yes, Atlanta is coming off possibly the worst loss of the season, 9-7 to the Panthers in a rain-filled slop fest in Charlotte.
Falcons coach Arthur Smith once again refused to use his best weapons on offense. However, the Falcons tend to play better on weekends following matchups in which they struggled on offense.
The Colts are 8-6 and in a three-way tie atop the AFC South. That’s a spot they were not expected to be in, especially after losing quarterback Anthony Richardson to injury.
This tends to be a spot where a team like Indianapolis loses on the road. Also, the Colts’ run defense is 27th in yards allowed per game, which plays into what Atlanta wants to do on offense.
PICK: Falcons (+2.5) to lose by fewer than 2.5 points (or win outright)
Bills snap Cowboys 5-game win streak, Micah Parsons calls loss ‘unacceptable’
Dallas Cowboys @ Miami Dolphins (4:25 p.m., FOX and FOX Sports App)
Both teams are 10-4. They each have a single win against a team with a .500 or better record.
What happens when two teams who beat up on bad teams but struggle against good teams play each other? I think I have the answer.
I’m taking the Cowboys in this game because of their performance on Sunday, even though Dallas went to Buffalo…
