What's Wright with Nick Wright · Dec 24, 2025

On the Christmas-week gambling show, Nick Wright made five picks and, in doing so, predicted outright wins for Dallas (a blowout of Washington), Jacksonville over Indianapolis, Pittsburgh over Cleveland, Buffalo over Philadelphia and Chicago over San Francisco, plus a Rams win at Atlanta and a Tampa Bay win at Miami. He also said Philadelphia will end up as the No. 3 seed.

Dallas is gonna blow out the Commanders.

  • All lay the four points with Pittsburgh. I got no problem with that.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • They're gonna move the ball. Dallas is gonna blow out the Commanders. I love the Cowboys minus six and a half

  • you got Jacksonville minus six and a half at Indy... The Jags are playing for a lot as far as locking up the division... But I'll take the six and a half.

  • they're the two or the three seed, and they are probably the three seed
