Free NFL Pick: San Diego Chargers -3.5 (Joseph D’Amico)
To sit or not to sit?!? That is the question. With a first round bye, the Charger’s will sit their starters once the game is in hand. San Diego won’t have a playoff game for a few weeks and will need to keep their starters sharp. This is a squad that has won 10 straight, covering 7 of those 10 games. HC Norv Turner likes to win and stay competitive. The Redskin’s did have a good defense but has given up an average of 27 PPG their L5 outings, including an embarrassing loss to the Giant’s 2 weeks ago and a blank to the Cowboy’s last week. HC Jim Zorn is all but gone. They didn’t aspire to be great all season long, why start now?. San Diego is 4-1 ATS their L5 games played in January and 21-7 ATS their L28 as a home favorite of 3 1/2 - 10 points. HC Norv Turner wants the win. Play the Charger’s. Thank you.

Free NFL Pick: Seattle Seahawks +4.5 (Wunderdog Sports)
The Tennessee Titans were a miserable football team through the first six weeks of the season, starting 0-6. They left themselves with no margin for error. To their credit, they didn’t cash in their chips, but ran off five straight wins and seven of eight. They nonetheless paid the price for the horrible start. So what is left for this team? They have had to bring it every single week for nine straight weeks, and the playoff dream came to a screeching halt in a 42-17 debacle against San Diego. That game exposed the truth about the Titans - they really are a sub. 500 team. They are just 2-5 on the road this season, scoring 16 points per game and losing by 5 points on average! Meanwhile, Seattle is a winning team at home, allowing just 16.1 points per game. Which team should really be favored? You could sense the quit in this Titans team as San Diego pulled away last week, and I would expect this team will have absolutely nothing left here. The Seahawks have been murdered the last three weeks, dropping three straight to a combined score of 126-24, so how can they win here? I think there is enough pride to give it all they have in the home finale to build on a good feeling for next year. Under Jeff Fisher, Tennesse is 25-37 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points and 4-12 ATS on the road after back-to-back ATS losses. I think this one is more about the Titans losing their edge that they had to maintain for nine straight games. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a team completely unfocused here. I like the Seahawks at home with the points.
