    Analysis

    When Appalachian State finished the season 5-7, one win below bowl eligibility, it went into offseason mode. But not enough six-win teams were available, so the Mountaineers volunteered to step in. Problem is, numerous players did not raise their hands. Both QBs, AJ Swann and JJ Kohl, fled the scene, and the remainining QBs threw a combined 39 passes, completing fewer than half. Georgia Southern won the regular season meeting by five points while dominating more than the margin suggests. The Eagles should run with ease through the worst rush defense in the Sun Belt.

    Analysis

    The Rams are coming off a momentous loss to the Seahawks that now leaves them effectively third in the playoff race. If the Seahawks and 49ers win on Sunday, the Rams will be locked into a wild card spot and will have to consider whether to rest players if not for the entire game, then at least for part of it. Sean McVay has rested starters when given the opportunity in the past, and while they can't prepare during the week to do so, I would expect he'd have a quick hook for some key players here if the Seahawks and 49ers win, which I think they will. I'll take the value on Atlanta now, as this could plummet by gameday.

    Picked: Dec 26 @ 1:35pm

    Analysis

    Kyren Williams averaged just 3.0 yards per carry in the Week 16 loss at Seattle. But that was against the NFL's top run defense. Now he's facing a Falcons' defense that's given up 4.9 yards per carry over the last three games. Atlanta plays a light front, and the Rams love to use their jumbo formations. With LA potentially leading late, look for Williams to notch at least 70 yards on the ground. He's done that in four straight games and seven of the past eight.

    Spread
    Picked: Dec 28 @ 3:58pm

    Analysis

    With Seattle winning at Carolina and if the Niners beat the Bears tonight, which I believe happens, then the playoff-bound Rams have squat to play for Monday as they would be eliminated from NFC West contention. So you'd think Sean McVay, the guy who never plays his starters in the preseason, would definitely take that into account. Matthew Stafford could just sit the last two games and likely still wins the MVP.

    Analysis

    It seems like Queens would try to run-and-gun with the Boston Celtics. No matter the foe, Queens isn't about to change its go-go style, as the Royals reminded recently vs. power conference Wake Forest and Arkansas. If Queens was going down, it was going down swinging, so allowing 111 to the Demon Deacons and 108 to the Razorbacks didn't really surprise, as both scorelines handily cleared tonight's low 170s total at Auburn. Meanwhile, after getting bullied by Purdue on December 20, the Tigers should enjoy this chance to run up and down the court. Well-traveled F Keyshawn Hall (20.3 ppg; four schools in four years!) leads Steven Pearl's near-85 ppg offense that hopes to have G Tahaad Pettiford (15.2 ppg) available tonight. Play Queens-Auburn Over
