My Week 14 straight-up picks went 10-4 and correctly predicted that the Jaguars and Chargers would score upset wins. That moves my straight-up picks to a 73-27 mark over the past seven weeks. Let’s go for an eighth straight week of 10-plus wins in Week 15.

The hot streak came to an end last week with my NFL picks. Time to regroup for the stretch run. It wasn't an awful week -- we've had those before -- but it just wasn't close to being good enough.  I went 6-8 against the spread last week and 7-7 straight up.

The NFL set its Week 17 schedule by setting up a Saturday doubleheader that could have a significant impact on the playoff picture.
