Las Vegas - Not ready to lay a 10 spot in the Chiefs/Raiders game or 13 and change in the Eagles/Giants game. So, of course, a quick Uber to Prop City. Gonna take Patrick Mahomes Over 1.5 TDs because even though Kaycee has dropped three of the last five, he is STILL Patrick Mahomes.

There has also been a bunch of chatter online and in print about Philly QB Jalen Hurts losing a few miles off his fastball. Do NOT believe that for one second. Hurts was sicker than a junkyard dog last week against the Seahawks and did look horrible. Before that, the Eagles played the Cowboys, 49ers, Bills and Chiefs. All top shelf teams and all with stingy defenses. The New York Giants are NOT close to a top shelf team, NOR are they stingy on D. So you gotta gimme Hurts Over 1.5 TDs.

Before we let you go to dinner, our Secret Santa hit the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow last week, so we're gonna let him unpack another bag of goodies. Ladies & Gentlemen, here is Mr. Secret, in his own words...

Heres your Secret Santa delivering your Christmas Day Teaser. First well slide down the chimney in Kansas City and take the Chiefs at a pick'em or -0.5 at home against the Raiders. Then the sleigh is off to Philly where well grab the Eagles at -3 points over the Giants. Can you really see the Eagles losing four in a row, and, to Joey Cutlets??? C'mon! Then well make our last drop in San Francisco where the 49ers host the Ravens in what could be a Super Bowl LVIII matchup. And we gotta grab 16 points with the Ravens. Why? The Ravens havent lost by more than a TD all season.

And Merry Christmas from all of us here at Ecks & Bacon, even all the little Bacon Bits!!!
