NFL Challenge picks

Brent Musburger, Doug Fitz and Allen Leiker took the Ravens (+4½) over the Chargers on Saturday in the Review-journal NFL Challenge.

Bill Bradley took the Chargers (-4½) and Titans (-9½) over the Redskins.

Micah Roberts leads the contest with a 46-28-1 ATS record (62.2 percent). after its sixth straight loss Monday to the Saints. For all of Atlanta’s struggles, it’s ninth in the league in scoring (24.7 ppg) and Matt Ryan ranks third in yards, fifth in QB rating and sixth in TD passes (30). We’ll take Ryan over Panthers QB Taylor Heinicke, who has thrown only five passes in the NFL and will make his first start.

SEAHAWKS (+2½) over Chiefs:

Seattle is 16-2 in prime-time home games under Pete Carroll. Kansas City is 2-2 in its past four games and 1-5-1 ATS in its last seven. The Chiefs have the NFL’S best offense, but the Seahawks and their top-ranked rushing attack should exploit Kansas City’s No. 31 defense.

RAIDERS (+3) over Broncos:

The Raiders’ ghosts of seasons’ past should help inspire Oakland when it hosts rival Denver on Christmas Eve in what could be the final game the franchise plays at the Oakland-alameda County Coliseum. Raiders QB Derek Carr has thrown for 19 TDS this season and no interceptions in his past nine games. Broncos QB Case Keenum has been a disappointment, throwing for 15 TDS and 12 interceptions.
