The Bullseye squad enters the last week of the season with a 42-41-2 overall record. Finishing above .500 has become the consolation prize in what has been an up and down year. Here's the final card of the season:
Michal McClymont (11-4-2): BUFFALO BILLS -6.5 (-127) vs New England Patriots
"The Bills will certainly be playing with plenty of passion and purpose Sunday, with Damar Hamlin still on their hearts and minds and a top playoff seed still within reach. "
Jon Metler (11-6-0): JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS -6.5 (-110) vs Tennessee Titans
"Despite the rest advantage and the fact that Josh Dobbs contributed more to the offense than Malik Willis, I still believe this spread is too low. I make the Jaguars 8.5-point favorites over the Titans and I predict they'll win the division with ease on Saturday night."
Andrew Brennan (11-6-0): MINNESOTA VIKINGS -7.5 (-105) vs Chicago Bears
"I wanted to take Packers -4.5, but unfortunately, Sean already took that game, which only made me want to take it more. I wondered to myself, "what's the football equivalent of fading Sean?" The answer: fading Nathan Peterman. I don't care that this game is being played in Chicago. It could be played on the moon. Vikings by a million."
Esten McLaren (6-11-0): Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Atlanta Falcons UNDER 40.5 (-110)
"The 4.5-point spread in favor of the Falcons is align with the wide-spread expectation that most, if not all of the best unit in this matchup - the Bucs offense - will sit. If so, there's no reason to expect the backups or the Falcons offense against the second-string Tampa Bay defense to get this game anywhere near 41 points."
Sean Tomlinson (3-14-0): DETROIT LIONS +4.5 (-111) vs Green Bay Packers
"Our journey that included many profitable fade opportunities and a heroic bluebird is ending. For the final dive into the abyss, let's lean on the Lions again. The weather forecast for Sunday night in Green Bay is tolerable, at least by Wisconsin in January standards. That could mitigate some of Jared Goff's road and/or cold struggles, and the Lions should lean on the run regardless. Both the Lions and Packers struggle to defend the run while ranking 29th and 26th, respectively. That could lead to long drives, limited possessions, and the Packers not getting an opportunity to pull away."
