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. That brings my season record to 106-101-1 ATS and 140-67-1 straight up.Of course I would have had a .500 record ATS if Pete Carroll hadn’t kicked a field goal on the last play of the game for the Raiders, but that’s in the past now. On to Week 15 we go, with a better week coming for me.

The Bucs are having issues on offense the past month, but they are still in first place. The Falcons are just waiting for the season to end. Baker Mayfield hasn’t looked right the past month, but that will change here. He will play better and the Bucs will get a much-needed victory in front of the prime-time audience. Pick: Buccaneers 27, Falcons 20Arizona Cardinals at Houston Texans (-9.5)Sunday, 1 p.m. ET on Fox (Stream: Fubo — try for free)
The Texans are playing their best football at this time of the year, keyed by the dominant defense. The Cardinals are a mess. Their defense is really bad right now, which should help C.J. Stroud get it going. Look for a big game from him, and the Texans defense will continue to dominate. Texans big. Pick: Texans 30, Cardinals 13Baltimore Ravens (-2.5) at Cincinnati BengalsSunday, 1 p.m. ET CBS (Stream on Paramount+)
The Ravens have lost two straight, including one to the Bengals two weeks ago. Joe Burrow lit them up in that game at Baltimore. What’s to think that will change here since the Ravens defense isn’t playing well. But what will change is the Ravens offense. I think it will show better than it did the last time and the Ravens will find a way to pull this one out.Pick: Ravens 30, Bengals 24 | Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook
