Straight-up Record: 140-67-1
ATS Record: 101-104-3
Week 15 Byes: None
Thursday Night Football:
Los Angeles Chargers at Las Vegas Raiders (-3.5)
Chargers 23, Raiders 20 F/OT
The Chargers will spring the upset. Las Vegas will fall out of any practical playoff conversation.
Saturday Games:
Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos (+6)
Bills 27, Broncos 17
Buffalo is rolling. Josh Allen has played like an elite quarterback, and the defense is beginning to play better.
Carolina Panthers at Green Bay Packers (-8.5)
Packers 41, Panthers 27
Aaron Rodgers will add another stellar performance to his MVP campaign. The Packers will roll and keep hold of the NFC’s top seed.
Sunday Games:
Jacksonville Jaguars at Baltimore Ravens (-13)
Ravens 35, Jaguars 24
Lamar Jackson and the offense will continue to dominate on the ground, but Gardner Minshew should be able to move the football on the defense.
Tampa Bay Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons (+6)
Buccaneers 28, Falcons 20
Tampa Bay will win their ninth game and inch closer to their first playoff game since 2007.
San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys (+3)
49ers 24, Cowboys 20
While the 49ers are slipping down the NFC playoff picture, they will resuscitate their playoff chances with a win in Arlington.
Detroit Lions at Tennessee Titans (-11)
Titans 35, Lions 20
Derrick Henry will make a serious push to the 2,000-yard plateau. He may get 200 yards for the second straight game.
Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts (-7.5)
Colts 31, Texans 24
Indianapolis has been one of the best teams in the NFL over the last month, and they will continue their momentum by sweeping the Texans.
New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins (-3)
Dolphins 20, Patriots 14
The Patriots are not a good football team. Miami will win a defensive battle.
Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings (-3)
Vikings 27, Bears 23
In a game of the week contender, the Vikings will keep pressure on the Cardinals for the final playoff spot in the NFC.
Seattle Seahawks at Washington Football Team (+5.5)
Football Team 21, Seahawks 13
The Washington defensive line will demolish Russell Wilson and the Seattle offensive line.
New York Jets at Los Angeles Rams (-17.5)
Rams 23, Jets 0
The Rams will shut out the Jets. Jared Goff and the offense will roll.
Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals (-6)
Cardinals 24, Eagles 20
The Jalen Hurts offense will play well again, but the Cardinals will grab the victory and hold on to their playoff spot.
Kansas City Chiefs at New Orleans Saints (+3)
Chiefs 38, Saints 28
The Chiefs will win their 13th game of the season in a potential Super Bowl preview.
Sunday Night Football:
Cleveland Browns at New York Giants (+4.5)
Browns 31, Giants 20
The Browns will win their 10th game and get closer and closer to a playoff spot. The Giants will be without James Bradberry, so expect Baker Mayfield to have a strong performance.
Monday Night Football:
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals (+13)
Steelers 20, Bengals 9
This will be the most boring game of the weekend. Pittsburgh will win, but it will be a little close for comfort.
