Making the Cut NFL Week 15 picks
New York Jets (+16.5) at Baltimore Ravens (O/U 45.5) – Thursday Night
Pick: New York Jets +16.5
Note: Will the Jets generate more yards than Le’Veon Bell’s bowling score?
Jacksonville Jaguars (+6.5) at Oakland Raiders (O/U 46)
Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars +6.5
Note: Last game for the Raiders in Oakland. Should be an interesting environment.
New England Patriots (-9.5) at Cincinnati Bengals (O/U 40.5)
Pick: New England Patriots -9.5
Note: What’s the over/under on the word “cheating” (or some variation) being said during the telecast
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3.5) at Detroit Lions (O/U 47)
Pick: Tampa Bay Buccaneers -3.5
Note: Winston throws interceptions when he has a good thumb. We’ll find out what happens when he has a bad thumb.
Chicago Bears (+4.5) at Green Bay Packers (O/U 40.5)
Pick: Green Bay Packers -4.5
Note: If it snows, the ratings will be off the charts. So will the use of the phrase “frozen tundra”
Houston Texans (+3) at Tennessee Titans (O/U 50.5)
Pick: Houston Texans +3
Note: Timing is everything, just ask Ryan Tannehill. He’s going to get a big contract in the offseason and then he’s going to morph back into Ryan Tannehill.
Denver Broncos (+9.5) at Kansas City Chiefs (O/U 45.5)
Pick: Kansas City Chiefs
Note: Looking at the AFC West and you start to wonder if the Chiefs are at the beginning stages of dominating that division like the Los Angeles Dodgers dominate the NL West.
Miami Dolphins (+3.5) at New York Giants (O/U 46.5)
Pick: Miami Dolphins +3.5
Note: In what has been a disastrous season, record-wise, in South Beach, I’ve garnered a lot of respect for head coach Brian Flores
Philadelphia Eagles (-4.5) at Washington (O/U 40)
Pick: Philadelphia Eagles -4.5
Note: There is growing optimism that there’s going to be a front office change in Washington. That might inspire the fan base to care about the result on Sunday.
Seattle Seahawks (-6) at Carolina Panthers (O/U 48)
Pick: Over 48
Note: Remember when the anti-Cam crew were quick to point out how great future hall of famer Kyle Allen was? Panthers are on a five game losing streak.
Cleveland Browns (-2.5) at Arizona Cardinals (O/U 48)
Pick: Cleveland Browns -2.5
Note: For all the dysfunction going in Cleveland, they’ve won four of their last five. As long as head coach Freddie Kitchens doesn’t call “red right 88”, they should win on Sunday.
Minnesota Vikings (-2.5) at San Diego Chargers (O/U 45)
Pick: Minnesota Vikings (-2.5)
Note: Kirk Cousins is doing just enough to get the Vikings faithful hopes up… he’ll crush them.
Los Angeles Rams (-1.5) at Dallas Cowboys (O/U 49)
Pick: Dallas Cowboys +1.5
Note: The Cowboys are staring at giving away the NFC East. Never root for anyone to lose their job but is Jason Garrett loses his job, lets all hope his replacement is Urban Meyer. Jones and Meyer deserve each other.
Atlanta Falcons (+11) at San Francisco 49ers (O/U 47.5)
Pick: San Francisco 49ers -11
Note: The 49ers will go up 28-3 and win.
Buffalo Bills (+2) at Pittsburgh Steelers (O/U 36.5)
Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers -2
Note: Every fan is hoping that the Sunday Night game has more than 36.5 points unless there’s a reason to go to bed early.
