To win the game, all they had to do was keep from driving 92 yards.Considering Lock only threw for 96 yards TOTAL in the first three quarters, that seemed like a very doable task, but nope, the Eagles made Lock look like Joe Montana, and Montana/Lock immediately drove the Seahawks down the field for a game-winning touchdown.The Seahawks' 20-17 win threw a wrench into the NFC playoff race, and we'll be taking a look at how the playoff picture is shaking out as we head into Week 16.

With Week 15 officially in the books, we decided to get an early jump on Week 16 by revealing some of our best bets for the upcoming week of action.During Tuesday's episode, Katie Mox and Will Brinson were joined by Emory Hunt and Alex Selelnick, our gambling gurus from SportsLine.The crew covered several of their favorite early bets for Week 15, and we're going to look at a couple of those below. Hunt: (-4.5) to cover against the . Although both of these teams are 7-7, Hunt doesn't think this game is going to be close. "The Rams are the better team on both sides of the ball. They're much more balanced on offense and you can trust much more than you can . Carr is going to be in trouble in this ball game. I think the Rams win this easily."Brinson: (-2.5) to cover against . Brinson has no faith in Pittsburgh "The Steelers are terrible." Over the past five weeks, the Benson Mayowa Jersey Steelers are averaging just 14 points per game, and they've been so bad that they're now turning to this week in hopes of finding an offensive spark.If you want to hear the rest of the props and early best bets for Week 16, you . You can .Here's a look at our grades for each team from Seattle's crazy win on Monday night:EAGLES GRADE: B-On a night where he was battling an illne s, had an erratic game. The Eagles quarterback struggled with his accuracy, and he was at his worst during a fourth quarter where he was picked off twice by the Seahawks, including a long pa s that came with just six seconds left. With Hurts struggling through the air, he ended up doing most of his damage on the ground, rushing for a team-high 82 yards and two touchdowns. Even though the offense was erratic, Charles Cross Jersey the Eagles still almost pulled this win out. The Philly defense shut down the Seahawks for the first 58 minutes of the game before surrendering a 92-yard drive in the final two minutes. This was a shocking lo s for an Eagles team that now might be staring at a wild-card berth instead of a division title. Eagles notesThe Eagles have now lost three in a row after starting the season 10-1, which is extremely rare. As a matter of fact, since the schedule moved to 16 games in 1978, that's only happened to one other team. In 1986, the lost five in a row after starting 10-1, and they ended up losing in the divisional round of the playoffs. The lo s also marked the first time in Hurts' career where he lost a game that the Eagles were leading by at least seven points in the fourth quarter. Hurts was 30-0 in that situation before Monday night.SEAHAWKS GRADE: BWith their season hanging in the balance, the Seahawks needed a win and got it in the most improbable way po sible. After throwing for just 96 yards in the first three quarters, Drew Lock caught fire on a game-winning TD drive where he drove the Seahawks 92 yards in just 84 seconds. Lock threw for 92 yards on the drive, including a 29-yard TD pa s to (you ). Before the drive, Seattle's offense had mostly revolved around , who rushed for 86 yards and a TD on 19 carries. Defensively, the Seahawks played nearly perfect football during a fourth quarter where picked off Jalen Hurts twice, including one that sealed the game with six seconds left. The Seahawks survived by the skin of their teeth, and because of that, they're very much alive in the NFC playoff race.Seahawks notesDrew Lock didn't do much over the first three quarters, but he caught fire when it counted. The Seahawks QB threw for more yards in the fourth quarter (112) than he did in the first three quarters COMBINED (96). On the Seahawks' game-winning TD drive, Lock threw for 92 yards and a TD. The game-winning TD pa s went to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who is now the only rookie over the past 63 years to catch two game-winning TD pa ses in the final minute of the fourth quarter. JSN also had a game-winner back in Week 7 against the .If you want to check out our full takeaways from the game, .With two of Pete Prisco's top-five teams losing this week (Eagles and ), Pete had to do some major re-shuffling at the top of his rankings heading into Week 16.With that in mind, let's check out the top five: (same as last week) (up one spot from last week) (up two spots from last week) (up two spots from last week) (up two spots from last week)Dropped out:Eagles, CowboysI'm not going to spoil the rest of the power rankings here, but I am going to give you a few nuggets. Here's what has changed since Prisco's last power rankings: The biggest jump this week went to the Seahawks. After watching them pull out a shocking win Monday over the Eagles, Prisco moved them up four spots, from 19th to 15th.In the AFC, the biggest jump went to the , who moved up three spots following their dominant win over the Cowboys. Thanks to that win, Prisco moved them up from 10th to seventh. The biggest drop this week went to the Cowboys, who got absolutely destroyed, 31-10, in Buffalo on Sunday. The fastest way to fall in Prisco's rankings is to lose a game by three touchdowns, and that's what the Cowboys did. For their embarra sing lo s, Prisco dropped them six spots, from second to eighth.Now, let's talk about the worst team in the NFL. The actually WON A GAME this week, but it wasn't enough to get them out of the cellar. The 2-12 Panthers have been dead last in the NFL since October, and they'll be remaining there for at least another week.If you want to know where your favorite team ended up in Prisco's Week 16 power rankings, . If you want to argue with Prisco over his rankings, you. I argue with him all the time about everything. It's Tuesday, which can only mean one thing around these parts: It's time for my weekly picks.As most of you know at this point, this is the part of the newsletter where I give you three picks and then we cro s our fingers and hope all three picks are right. I've gone 29-11-4 against the spread over the past three weeks, so let's just go ahead and a sume that all of my picks are going to be right this week. Here are three of my picks for Week 16.Saints (7-7) at Rams (7-7) -- Thursday, 8:15 p.m. ET (Amazon Prime):The Rams have won four of five games since their Week 10 bye, and a big reason for that is because they've actually been able to run the ball. They've been averaging 150.2 yards per game since Week 10, which should come in handy against a Saints defense that ranks 25th in the NFL when it comes to stopping the John Reid Jersey run this year. (They're surrendering 126.4 yards per game.) If the Saints decide to go all-in and stop the run, then Matthew Stafford will probably throw for 700 yards.PICK:Rams 27-17 over SaintsCincinnati (8-6) at Pittsburgh (7-7) -- Saturday, 4:30 p.m. ET (NBC):The Steelers are so desperate to spark their offense that they're turning to a guy (Mason Rudolph), who hasn't started a game in two years. I hate picking against Rudolph on Christmas weekend, but I'm going to do it here.PICK: Bengals 20-17 over SteelersDallas (10-4) at Miami (10-4) -- Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC):The Dolphins are 0-3 this season against teams that currently have a winning record, and they lost those three games by an average of 16.6 points. The Cowboys have a winning record, so I'm gue sing that can't bode well for Miami.PICK:Cowboys 38-31 over DolphinsTo check out the rest of my picks for Week 16, .With only three weeks left to play in the NFL season, now seems like a good time to break down the playoff picture.Here's a look at the top-seven teams from each conference (* = clinched playoff berth):AFC*1.Ravens (AFC North leader, 11-3)2.Dolphins (AFC East leader, 10-4)3. Chiefs (AFC West leader, 9-5)4. (AFC South leader, 8-6)5.Browns (9-5)6.Bengals (8-6)7. (8-6)First teams out (in order): (8-6), Bills (8-6), Steelers (7-7), (7-7) As we head into Week 16, only one team in the AFC has clinched a playoff spot and that's the Ravens. There are two games this week that could turn the playoff standings upside down with the Texans hosting the Browns and the Steelers hosting the Bengals. The AFC Cortez Kennedy Jersey South is also up in the air with the Jags, Texans and Colts all tied at 8-6. Of course, a tie wouldn't be the worst thing for the Jags because they hold almost every tiebreaker over Indy and Houston. The Jaguars swept the Colts, so they win the tiebreaker there. As for Houston, the Jags split with them, but if Jacksonville beats the in Week 18, then the Jags would clinch the division record tiebreaker, which would give them the title if any of the three teams finish in a tie for first place.NFC*1.49ers (NFC West leader, 11-3)*2. Cowboys (NFC East leader, 10-4)3. Lions (NFC North leader, 10-4)4. (NFC South leader, 7-7)*5.Eagles (10-4)6. (7-7)7.Rams (7-7)First teams out (in order):Seahawks (7-7), Saints (7-7), (6-8), (6-8)The Seahawks kept their playoff hopes alive with a huge win Monday night. The Seahawks have a very friendly schedule to end the season (at Titans, Steelers, at ), so there's definitely a chance they could get to 10-7. As for last night's lo s, the Eagles are now on a three-game losing streak, but the news isn't all bad for them. As long as they win out, they should win the NFC East. As things currently stand, if Dallas and Philadelphia both win out to finish 13-4, the Eagles would take the division by winning the rarely-used FIFTH tiebreaker, which is strength of victory. If you want a full look at the playoff standings, .It's been a busy 24 hours in the NFL, and since it's nearly impo sible to keep track of everything that happened, I went ahead and put together a roundup for you. likely to start for Falcons. For the second time this year, has been benched for Taylor Heinicke. The team that Heinicke will be the starter Sunday against the Colts. The Falcons are 0-2 with Heinicke this year, but both lo ses did come by five points or le s.Steelers turning to Mason Rudolph. For the first time in two years, Mason Rudolph is likely going to be the starting QB for the Steelers. Mike Tomlin announced Monday that Mitchell Trubisky would he heading to the bench, paving the way for Rudolph. However, there is a small chance that could be healthy enough to play, and if he's available, it sounds like he'll be the starter. You . expected to mi s some time. The Bengals receiver, who injured his shoulder Sunday, isn't expected to play this week against the Steelers. Chase could also mi s some time after that, according , but it will depend on how his shoulder heals. For more details on Chase's injury, .Steelers secondary takes a hit with an injury and a suspension. Steelers safety for the rest of the season for a hit that he made on Colts receiver Jr. in Week 15. Kazee is appealing the suspension, but if he doesn't win, then he's done for the year. That will leave the Steelers extremely short-handed in the secondary against the Bengals on Saturday because Travis Homer Jersey won't be available due to a knee injury that he's dealing with.Ravens running back suffers torn ACL. The Ravens third-leading rusher, , is out for the season after tearing his ACL against the Jaguars on Sunday night. It's a big lo s for the Ravens, if only because Mitchell was arguably the most explosive running back on the team. Before going down with the injury, Mitchell had been averaging an absurd 8.4 yards per rushing attempt this year. He'll finish the season with 396 yards and two touchdowns on 47 carries.
