Week 15 Picks

Italicized for win
Bolded for spread

Arizona Cardinals @ Atlanta Falcons (-9) - The Cardinals offensive line is decimated and the Falcons could bounce back in home.  Patrick Peterson vs. Julio Jones should be an interesting matchup

Oakland Raiders (+3.5) @ Cincinnati Bengals - The Raiders are looking a bit feisty after a nice win against the Steeler and the Bengals are reeling without AJ Green. 

Miami Dolphins (+8) @ Minnesota Vikings - The Dolphins appear to be heading in the right direction after a nice win against the Patriots while the Vikings with Cousins in the helm have struggled against team above .500. 

Dallas Cowboys @ Indianapolis Colts (-3)(LOCK) - A must win for the Colts and the Cowboys are a virtual lock to make the playoffs. 

Tampa Buccaneers @ Baltimore Ravens (-7.5) - Ravens are playing pretty well with Lamar Jackson that almost pulled out a win at Kansas City with RG3 and only didn't win due to a poor non-call pass interference. 

Detroit Lions @ Buffalo Bills (-2.5) - Josh Allen could be enough to carry the Bills at home.  Bills has a -52 point differential in the 4th quarter but the cold weather could favor them. 

Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears (-4)(LOCK) - Look for the Packers to comeback to earth after a bounce from firing their head coach.  The Bears look to get revenge from their meltdown against the Packers. 

Washington Redskins (+7.5) @ Jacksonville Jaguars - Josh Johnson did look alright in a few drives but overall it is still befuddling why the Redskins didn't work out Colin Kaepernick, whose resume of making the Super Bowl is better than anyone the Redskins tried out including EJ Manuel and Mark Sanchez. 

Tennessee Titans @ New York Giants (-2.5) - The Giants appear to be a solid team even without Odell Beckham while the Titans are heading in the wrong direction.  It is too bad for the Giants that they are only finding their gear in the 2nd half of the season. 

Seattle Seahawks (-3.5)(LOCK) @ San Francisco 49ers - San Francisco lost to Seattle 43-16 two weeks ago.

New England Patriots (+3) @ Pittsburgh Steelers  - For whatever the reason, the Patriots appear to own the Steelers.  James Conner is unlikely to play

Philadelphia Eagles @ Los Angeles Rams (-8) - Eagles defensive backs are decimated without Carson Wentz and have a decimated secondary. 

New Orleans Saints (-6.5) @ Carolina Panthers - Cam Newton appears to banged up and the Saints should take them out to maintain their conference lead.
