Football Bets Week 16

Merry Christmas to one and Merry Christmas to all! And hopefully Merry Christmas to our bank accounts! Since I'm pretty busy this week, I am just going to list this week's picks, with just a short sentence or two about each one.
David Montgomery un49.5 rushing yards (-110)
D'Andre Swift ov33.5 rushing yards (-110)
Marquise Goodwin ov35.5 receiving yards (-115)
DeVonta Smith ov52.5 receiving yards (-115)
Montgomery this week has a relatively tough match-up with the Bills, but the sneaky aspect of this game that no one is talking about is that Khail Herbert is back and active. He should vulture some of his carries away in a game that could start to get out of hand early. Swift seems like he is the Lion RB to play and Carolina does give up the 11th most rushing yards. I'll gladly roll the dice for just 34 rushing yards. Goodwin steps into this week as the WR2 on the team, since Tyler Lockett is out. He is relatively fast enough to still make a long play to the house. You also have to think that KC is going to force Geno to pass the ball. DeVonta gets a nice discounted line, which he has hit in 4 out of the last 5 games. The Cowboys defense has been solid against the pass all season, but they were exploited by Trevor Lawrence last week. Hurts is out, but Minshew is definitely a viable backup who can still sling the ball around.
