Picks Summary
- Chargers -1 (-110) at Caesars Sportsbook
- Cardinals-Vikings Over 45.5 (-110) at Bet365
- Seahawks -135 (-110) at Bet365
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Atlanta Falcons
Sunday, December 01, 2024 – 01:00 PM ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
The AI Model believes the Chargers will earn a three-point win on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. That said, you can find the Chargers at -1 via Caesars.
The Chargers Will Be Fine
The Los Angeles Chargers lost by seven to the Baltimore Ravens in the Harbaugh Bowl game on Monday Night Football. Even at home, the Chargers’ seven-point loss was impressive.
Los Angeles’s defense has struggled a bit over the last couple of weeks. However, the Chargers still have a solid run defense and a great secondary.
They’ll likely have it easier going up against Kirk Cousins and the Falcons, especially since Atlanta scored just six points against Denver before last week’s bye week.
Atlanta’s Falling Apart
The Atlanta Falcons have had some big offensive performances this season. However, over the last two weeks, it’s been everything but that.
The Falcons have scored just 23 points in two games combined. They’ve also scored no more than 17 points in three of their last five games. Those three games where they didn’t score more than 17 points were losses.
Don’t be surprised if the Falcons don’t get to 17 in this game. Take the Chargers at -1.

Arizona Cardinals vs. Minnesota Vikings
Sunday, December 01, 2024 – 01:00 PM ET at US Bank Stadium
The Cardinals and Vikings are projected to score 48 points combined in Sunday’s matchup. However, you can find the Over 45.5 at Bet365, which is a massive difference from the model.
Expect The Cardinals TO Bounce Back
The Arizona Cardinals lost a long winning streak with a subpar performance against the Seattle Seahawks. The Cardinals lost 16-6 and couldn’t find any offense against Seattle.
Now they’ll face a Minnesota defense that gets a lot of praise. However, if you dig into the analytics, you’d know that the Vikings are ultimately average in the secondary, pass rush, and tackling.
The Cardinals will have opportunities to light up the scoreboard against this Vikings defense. Kyler Murray has thrown just four interceptions and is smart with the ball. Meanwhile, James Conner has rushed for 705 yards on 166 carries. He’s had some big games this season.
The run game might be less effective, but Murray should excel in the passing game.
The Vikings Keep Finding Ways To Win
The Vikings added an overtime win over the Chicago Bears last weekend. They’re on a four-game winning streak and now have a home game against the Cardinals.
In that four-game winning streak for Minnesota, the Vikings have added three one-score victories and another ten-point win. They’re not blowing out opponents by any means.
They’ll take care of business on offense. After all, the Cardinals have missed a lot of tackles and aren’t playing particularly consistently in any area on defense.
This should be a high-scoring game. The Vikings aren’t blowing out opponents, but they’ll still score a lot.

Seattle Seahawks vs. New York Jets
Sunday, December 01, 2024 – 01:00 PM ET at MetLife Stadium
Our AI Model suggests the Seahawks will add a 21-19 win on the road against the Jets. With Seattle at just -135, it’s worth backing the Seahawks on the moneyline.
It’s Time To Tank
The New York Jets are coming off a bye week. A lot was leaked over that week, saying the Jets were considering benching Aaron Rodgers. In the same story, there were reports that Rodgers wants to play in 2025 but not with the Jets.
The Jets are a train wreck after firing the head coach and general manager. Nobody has taken accountability.
Therefore, even at home, it wouldn’t be bright to back them.
Seattle’s Momentum
The Seattle Seahawks have won two straight games, including rivalry against the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals. The defense allowed just 23 points in the two games combined.
Imagine how they’ll play against an inept Jets offense that scored no more than 15 points in two of their last five games.
Let’s back the Seattle Seahawks at -135. The Jets should probably tank away for the rest of the season. On the other hand, Seattle is back over .500 and won’t want to go backward.
NFL Pick: Seahawks -135 (-110) at Bet365
