Quick Picks with Coach Rick Bowe, NFL Picks, NFL Free Picks, NFL Predictions 12/29/24

NY JETS @ BUFFALO (BUF -10, 45.5)

BILLS OVER 27.5

What's not to like about the Bills here? At home today. 9-1 in their last 10 games. 30 or more points in 8 of their last 9 games. Plus, Buffalo can clinch the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs with a win today.

The Jets are just 1-5 SU in their last 6 games. Last week, they put up a whopping 9 points against the Raiders. In the four weeks prior to that game, the Jets allowed 25, 32, 26, and 28 points. There is some rain in the forecast which means Buffalo will pound the ball in the running game. I think they run all over the Jets and hit their team total once again. The Bills have hit their team total in 12 of 15 games this season.

CAROLINA @ TAMPA BAY (TB -9, 48)

BUCS OVER 27.5

It's a big number and Carolina is actually 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games. Still, I can't get behind Bryce Young and the Panthers. What I do like though is the Tampa Bay offense. The Bucs are fourth in the NFL in scoring averaging 28.8 points per game. They are No. 3 in passing offense and No. 5 in rushing offense.

Tampa Bay has won 4 of its last 5 games and they averaged nearly 30 points per game in doing so. Carolina has given up 30 in each of its last two games and allows 29.9 PPG for the season.

ATLANTA @ WASHINGTON (WSH -3.5, 46.5

BIJAN ROBINSON ANYTIME TD

This is actually a pretty crucial game for each team. The Falcons can move a step closer to clinching the NFC South with a win. The Commanders can continue to hold onto the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs.

With rain in the forecast and a rookie QB in his second NFL start, I would expect the Falcons to continue to emphasize the running game. Last week, they ran the ball 38 times. Robinson has 22 or more carries in each of his last four games. He scored a TD in 3 of those 4 games. He has 10 TDs for the season and the Commanders run defense ranks 29th in the NFL in terms of yards allowed per game.
