NFL Week 15 picks

The lines are from oddsshark.com and the home teams in CAPs.

L.A. Chargers +3.5 over LAS VEGAS

You know what, given everything that happened in this game, it probably should’ve ended up as a tie.

DENVER +6 over Buffalo

The Bills are riding high after taking down the Steelers last week, but let’s not pile on the Broncos, whose only real stinker was that blowout loss to the Saints in which they literally didn’t have a QB.

GREEN BAY -8.5 over Carolina

The Panthers are going to be without Christian McCaffrey yet again and you just can’t bet against Aaron Rodgers in a prime-time matchup. He should be looking to put a few exclamations points on his MVP resume.

INDIANAPOLIS -7 over Houston

The Colts are really picking up steam, but might be looking ahead to Pittsburgh next week. The Texans fumbled away a chance to beat these Colts just two weeks ago and will look to remedy that.

TENNESSEE (NL) over Detroit

Even if Matt Stafford guts it out for this one, the Titans should be able to run over the Lions with Derrick Henry hitting his usual late-season stride.

MINNESOTA -3 over Chicago

After a big week against the Texans, we’re not exactly buying in on Mitchell Trubisky once again being the answer for the Bears. The Vikes beat the Bears with Nick Foles a few weeks back and should be able to get the sweep at home.

Tampa Bay -6 over ATLANTA

When Julio Jones has been less than 100% this season, the Falcons just haven’t been able to compete. The Bucs offence struggled a bit coming off their bye, but the defence did a good job stopping the Vikings in pressure situations.

Seattle -5.5 over WASHINGTON

The Football Team’s defence is looking legit, but if it’s Dwayne Haskins at QB, we simply can’t take back less than a touchdown. Not sure how the kid could have any confidence left after his turbulent tenure in Washington.

Jacksonville +13 over BALTIMORE

After the high of that Monday night thriller, we expect a bit of a letdown from the Ravens against a Jags team that has done well against the spread this season, even if they’ve floundered straight-up. Gardner Minshew is always up for a backdoor cover, too.

MIAMI -2 over New England

The Pats easily won their first matchup back in Week 1, but that was when Ryan Fitzpatrick was Miami’s QB and Cam Newton seemed like a viable option at QB still. The Dolphins have quite a few injury concerns on offence, but should be able to work through them.

San Francisco -3 over DALLAS

This is an awful coaching matchup for the Cowboys, with Kyle Shanahan clearly a class above Mike McCarthy. Dallas is coming off a rare win, but will be in tough to stop the Niners formidable running game.

New York Jets +17 over L.A. RAMS

The Rams should coast in this one, but the number here is just too high. L.A. has a date in Seattle next week and could be looking ahead towards that massive division matchup.

ARIZONA -6.5 over Philadelphia

Jalen Hurts sparked the Eagles in his starting debut last week, but now there’s tape out on him and the Cardinals know a thing or two about running QBs. Kyler Murray looks to be over his injury and started running the ball once again, adding that big threat back to the Cards offence.

NEW ORLEANS +3 over Kansas City

The Chiefs have been developing a nasty habit of making games closer than they should be. While it seems like the league is starting to figure out Taysom Hill, you have to figure that Sean Payton will have something up his sleeve against fellow guru Andy Reid.

Cleveland -5 over NEW YORK GIANTS

Daniel Jones clearly isn’t healthy and without his ability to scramble, he’ll be a sitting duck for Myles Garrett and the Browns defence.

Pittsburgh -13 over CINCINNATI

This is one that the Steelers need to get their season back on track. Big Ben threw four TDs against the Bengals back in Week 10 and could light them up once again.

Last week: 5-11

This season: 91-103-4
