NFL 2024 Week 16 Picks

 Hello readers! The week that was Week 15 brought us some crazy storylines and a successful week in picks. With Week 16 upon us, the regular season has just three more weeks left of regular season play left. Not a lot left to just wait and see what happens, teams have to go out and get a playoff spot now or wait until next year. The games that I'm keeping an eye on this week are: the Broncos-Chargers, Steelers-Ravens, Lions-Bears, Eagles-Commanders and Buccaneers-Cowboys games. In this post, I will do a playoff picture for Week 16, as well as the preview and picks for the games, and the Early and Late TV Broadcast pairings that FOX and CBS will have for the Sunday afternoon slate.

NFL Playoff Picture: Week 16

The regular season is entering its sixteenth week of play, with three weeks to go including this week. The week has teams locking up playoff berths and some that are still fighting for a spot. Let's take a look at the NFC. 

Seeding

1st seed: Detroit Lions (12-2) (clinched playoff berth)

2nd seed: Philadelphia Eagles (12-2) (clinched playoff berth)

3rd seed: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-6)

4th seed: Los Angeles Rams (8-6)

5th seed: Minnesota Vikings (12-2) (clinched playoff berth)

6th seed: Green Bay Packers (10-4)

7th seed: Washington Commanders (9-5)

Chicago (4-10), Carolina (3-11), NY Giants (2-12)

Detroit is ahead of Philadelphia based on conference record (Lions have 8-1, Eagles have 7-2). Minnesota is behind Detroit based on head-to-head record. The Rams are ahead of the Seahawks based on head-to-head record. Still a lot of things to play out before a division winner is clinched in the NFC. Let's look at the AFC. 

Seeding

1st seed: Kansas City Chiefs (13-1) (clinched AFC West)

2nd seed: Buffalo Bills (11-3) (clinched AFC East)

3rd seed: Pittsburgh Steelers (clinched playoff berth)

4th seed: Houston Texans (9-5) (clinched AFC South)

5th seed: Baltimore Ravens (9-5)

6th seed: Denver Broncos (9-5)

7th seed: Los Angeles Chargers (8-6)

Super Wild Card Weekend Matchups

Better Luck Next Year

NY Jets (4-10), Cleveland Browns (3-11), Jacksonville (3-11), Tennessee (3-11), New England (3-11), Las Vegas (2-12)

A bit more straightforward with the AFC. The Ravens are ahead of the Broncos because of their head-to-head record. Kansas City can clinch AFC #1 seed with a win and Bills loss or Chiefs tie and Bills loss. If the Steelers win they win the division. Baltimore can clinch a playoff berth with a win or a Dolphins loss and Colts loss. Denver can clinch a playoff berth with a win or a Dolphins, Bengals and Colts loss or tie. The Chargers can clinch a playoff berth with a win, Dolphins loss/tie and a Colts loss/tie. A lot to think about. 

Week 16 Preview

The sixteenth week of the National Football League's regular season will start in Inglewood, California and finish up in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The week features a 16-game slate where all 32 teams will play. Week 16 has seven division games, two interconference game, two AFC games and five NFC games. There will be a Thursday night game, two Saturday games, seven early games, four late games, a Sunday night game and a Monday night game. No teams are on a bye this week. Doubleheader this week goes to CBS and FOX will have the single, regional game. Let's get to the picks!

Week 16 Picks

Note: All game times are in US Eastern.

Denver (9-5) @ LA Chargers (8-6) (Amazon Prime; 8:15 pm)

Pick: Chargers

The Broncos beat the Colts and the Chargers lost to the Buccaneers last week. Denver keeps on rolling in a season of low expectations for them. the Broncos last week looked down but once the turnovers and momentum swung their way. Once the turnovers came the the score went from a 13-10 lead for the Colts to a 31-13 lead with three touchdowns in eight minutes. The game this week might be the biggest in their season. The Broncos have done it with a good gameplan for Bo Nix to get comfortable and excel at and a defense that can make plays. The Broncos aren't the best at running the football but that could change in an instant. 

Los Angeles, despite getting blown out by Tampa, have their playoff destiny in their own hands. They can lose a billion points but they still have a shot to make it to the playoffs for the first time since 2022 and in the Jim Harbaugh era. I don't know if it was truly their offense that caused them to lose but I think the big play burned the Chargers a lot in that game. While the Broncos aren't known for the big bomb play, I wouldn't count out them from trying it. The Chargers have a better running game than the Broncos and I think that might be the thing that rules the day in Inglewood. I'll take the Chargers. 

All-time series: Broncos lead 73-56-1

Houston (9-5) @ Kansas City (13-1) (NBC; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Texans

The Texans beat the Dolphins and the Chiefs beat the Browns last week. Houston got a win against a relatively decent team in Miami. The Dolphins couldn't do a whole lot due to the Texans defense. Houston's offense did enough to get a win with 20 points. The Texans this week go up against the class of the AFC in the Chiefs. Houston might have some advantage in this game. The Chiefs offense just seems to be missing a beat at times. If they can throw Patrick Mahomes off a bit. It all depends really on if the prolific passer can play this game as he is day-to-day with a knee injury. It might be enough for the Texans to get a win with a weakened Chiefs team. 

Kansas City will play in nearly most days this season. They have played on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and a Wednesday this season. Truly they are everywhere on the television. The Chiefs got a win against the Browns and they really put the hurt that most fans felt that the 21-7 score did not enough justice. The win might've been a bit of a cost if Patrick Mahomes is feeling the hurt for this one and going forward. His backup is Carson Wentz, a quarterback who has been jumping from team to team since his days as an Eagle. Regardless, the offense should do okay with Mahomes but I question how well they matchup against the Texans defense. The Chiefs will need to win and get some help to clinch the #1 seed in the AFC playoffs. It seems a bit of a risk but I'll take the Texans. 

All-time series: Chiefs lead 9-5

Pittsburgh (10-4) @ Baltimore (9-5) (FOX; 4:30 pm)

Pick: Steelers

The Steelers lost to the Eagles and the Ravens beat the Giants last week. The 2nd of the two games being shown on Saturday. It is the first time that FOX will show the epic Steelers-Ravens rivalry. The Steelers come into this game with a humbling loss against the Eagles. Sadly it will be at least another season to see if they can win in Philadelphia since 1965. History aside, the Steelers have dominated the rivalry for the past few seasons. The games have been a low-scoring affair but defense has generally dominated the games. Pittsburgh's defense should be able to handle the Ravens offense at least one would would assume. I question the Steelers offense as they have been faltering a little bit. Physical football usually includes the running game and the Steelers will need a good game from Najee Harris. 

Baltimore comes into this game with a big win against New York. It was against the Giants but a win is a win in order to get to this point in the season. Baltimore will need to find opportunities in the holes of the Steelers defense to get a win. Lamar Jackson has had a bit of a rough record against Pittsburgh. He dominates everyone else but the Steelers are his kryptonite. Protecting the football and the rest of the Ravens stepping up will be needed for the Ravens to take a win. A good game from Derrick Henry will be good as well. Baltimore is favored by 6 points but these division games, anything can happen. I just don't know if the Ravens can beat the Steelers but anything can happen. I'll take the Steelers. 

All-time series: Steelers lead 36-25

Cleveland (3-11) @ Cincinnati (6-8) (CBS; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Bengals

The Browns lost to the Chiefs and the Bengals beat the Titans last week. Cleveland has had a rough season. The play of Jameis Winston hasn't helped. Injuries to their stars on offense haven't helped either. DeShaun Watson getting injured didn't help either. If Kevin Stefanski gets fired I hope he gets another job. He deserves better. Cleveland will be without the help of Nick Chubb who once again got an injury in the loss against Kansas City. The running game should be alright as Jerome Ford is a capable running back as he had a long run last week for a touchdown. 

Cincinnati is a bit of a stable team when it comes to their Northern Ohio neighbors. Sadly the Bengals are very dangerous in missing the playoffs if they lose a game the rest of the way. Even more unfortunate is that even if they win they will still likely lose a chance to play January football. Joe Burrow and company should have a good shot to win on offense as they can run and pass. The defense is a bit suspect as they can give up points just as much as their offense puts up. Cleveland will possibly start Dorian Thompson-Robinson for this game as Jameis Winston hits the bench. It is a good sign for the Bengals and I will take them in this game. 

All-time series: Bengals lead 54-48

Arizona (7-7) @ Carolina (3-11) (FOX; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Cardinals

The Cardinals beat the Patriots and the Panthers lost to the Cowboys last week. Arizona got a win last week. It was a needed win as the Cardinals before the game had a three-game losing streak going on. It was against the Patriots but at this time of the season, a win is a win. They got it done with a running game that is very underrated and a defense that effectively shut down the Patriots offense until the latter moments in the 4th quarter. Into this week, the Cardinals will need to win the rest of their games to attempt to get into the playoffs. They face off against Carolina who has the opportunity to play spoiler. The Cardinals in this game will need to keep the pace up and utilize the running game and protect the football as much as possible. The Panthers aren't a good team, don't give them a reason to let them in this game. 

Carolina has had a rough season. It was to be expected as they were hovering around this sort of record last year. At this point of the season, most players are just trying to keep their jobs or showcase their talents to other teams during the offseason. Carolina would like nothing more than to play spoiler to the Cardinals. What they need to do is make Kyler Murray uncomfortable. They need to play their best football in this game and hope for the best that Bryce Young becomes the next Cam Newton or something. I just don't see that happening as the Cardinals know the stakes in this game. 

All-time series: Panthers lead 14-6

Detroit (12-2) @ Chicago (4-10) (FOX; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Lions

The Lions lost to the Bills and the Bears lost to the Vikings last week. Detroit suffered a loss for the first time since Week 2 against Tampa Bay. It was a bit of a humbling loss but it was against Buffalo. At least it wasn't against Carolina. Division games are a bit of an odd one as both teams know each other very well and they tend to be very physical. Especially in this iteration of the Black and Blue division. Detroit should win this game but the last time these two teams played it was a bit of a chaotic ending. Matt Eberflus and clock management anyone? Detroit will need to play well in this game and not play with their food in this one. The Bears have Vikings fans watching this game and certainly Packers fans as well. 

Chicago has had a rough one this season. The expectations of the team in preseason was that they would be a quality offense. They were at one point 4-2 this season. Then the loss to Washington happened. Chicago has generally played up to the Lions this season. They almost won on Thanksgiving had Matt Eberflus actually used a timeout and used his time wisely. Caleb Williams had a good game in that game with three touchdowns. Keenan Allen was a matchup nightmare as well as DJ Moore as they had both a good game. Chicago didn't utilize their running game a whole lot in the game and I wish they would do something to take the pressure off of Caleb Williams. I don't trust the Bears in this one so I'll take the Lions. 

All-time series: Bears lead 105-79-5

LA Rams (8-6) @ NY Jets (4-10) (CBS; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Rams

The Rams beat the 49ers and the Jets beat the Jaguars last week. The Rams swept the 49ers in a season series. They didn't do a whole lot on offense but they did more than the 49ers at least. With four field goals they snuck past the 49ers. With the 49ers out of the way, the Rams look to either get in the playoffs as a wild card or a division winner. First they have to beat the Jets. New York's offense isn't a slouch but it isn't a high-octane machine either. The Rams defense might struggle a bit. What was impressing was the Rams defense in shutting down the 49ers offense. It'll be a big thing to build on for this week. 

New York got a big win against the Jaguars. It wasn't a defining win or a win that will get them a playoff spot or anything of the like. It was important to rebuild their confidence and get them into a competitive spirit and something to build on for next year. They will face a new task in the Rams this week. The offense will need to keep and more against a Rams defense that might've been overlooked in more ways than one. The key will be the Jets defense against the Rams offense. The Rams offense will utilize their tandem of wide receivers to move the ball down the field. I'll take the Rams, I don't trust the Jets. 

All-time series: Rams lead 10-5

New England (3-11) @ Buffalo (11-3) (CBS; 4:25 pm)

Pick: Bills

The Patriots lost to the Cardinals and the Bills beat the Lions last week. The Patriots have had a long season. It usually is long when you're a team that is within the top-5 in the draft. They have a 3-11 record which isn't great but given expectations of the team, it wasn't expected to be high. They will face off against their former punching bag in the Bills who have now turned the tables on their rivals since 2020. The Patriots do have Drake Maye who has a promising career ahead of him. Sadly his rookie season will be marred by offensive ineptitude and bad offensive line play. I find it hard to take these guys in this one when they don't do great on either side of the ball. 

Buffalo looks to once again be the ones to roll over the AFC East again. They have already locked up the division a few weeks ago and now don't have a lot to play for. Unless the Chiefs suddenly collapse, the Bills will have to travel at some point in the playoffs. The Bills heading into this game should be able to win with a top-heavy offense and a defense that is just as good. Yes the defense has given up 40+ points in the last two weeks, the Patriots offense doesn't have a guy named Tom Brady under center. I just think that the Bills shouldn't underestimate and put up points early in this one against the Patriots. 

All-time series: Patriots lead 78-50-1

NY Giants (2-12) @ Atlanta (7-7) (FOX; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Falcons

The Giants lost to the Ravens and the Falcons beat the Raiders last week. New York has had a rough season. Enough to the point where planes fly over MetLife Stadium begging the Mara family to sell the team. Keep in mind, the Mara's have own the team since the team's founding in the 1920's. New York in this game might be okayish. Tommy DeVito got injured in his first start last week and Tim Boyle will likely get the nod in this one. The sample for Boyle is a 12-14 passing for 123 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Giants passing game has been a eyesore and they do have Malik Nabers to build off of in a wide receiver corp. Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been a decent back as well. I am not sure how well the Giants can play against a new quarterback for the Falcons. 

Atlanta is currently at 7-7 on the season. Pretty much average in the grand scheme of things. A bit of a surprise this week is Kirk Cousins getting benched in favor of rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. out of the University of Washington. The play of Kirk Cousins has been a bit spotty but to go with a change this late in the season is a bit weird. The sample size of Michael Penix Jr. is small with 3 of 5 passing for 38 yards. New York is not a great team so maybe they wanted to see what he could do against them. Let him dip his toes in the water so to speak. Maybe a change was needed if they see things with Penix Jr. The rest of the offense should do well in an effort to appease their new teammate. I think the Falcons should win. 

All-time series: Falcons lead 14-12

Philadelphia (12-2) @ Washington (9-5) (FOX; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Commanders

The Eagles beat the Steelers and the Commanders beat the Saints last week. The Eagles looked really good against the Steelers. They had their way with them and even got a few touchdowns past their defensive front. Anything is up in the air when it comes to division matchups and the Eagles and Commanders have always kept things close. The last time these two teams met, the Eagles would score 20 points in the 4th quarter and would hold off one last Commanders march. I think things will be different when they're in Landover. I think the offense needs to get back to running the ball a bit more against the Commanders. It seemed to work well last time. As well as stopping the Commanders run game. 

Washington was having a bit of a struggling part of their season. Fortunately they got a win against the Saints and felt that they were back in control of themselves. It would take a missed 2-point conversion for them to win but nonetheless, the Commanders got a needed win to keep the other hopeful playoff teams out. This game might mean a bit more to the Commanders as they are seeking their first playoff berth since 2020. The Eagles are a very good team I will be honest. It will be a task for the Commanders to win against them. It is a hands on deck sort of game. If they can slow down the Eagles run game they have a shot to do it. The Commanders will need a good game against their run game and have their wide receivers find holes in the Eagles defense. I think it's a tall task but I'll take the Commanders.

All-time series: commanders lead 89-85-5

Tennessee (3-11) @ Indianapolis (6-8) (CBS; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Colts

The Titans lost to the Bengals and the Colts lost to the Broncos last week. Tennessee has had a rough season. The team is just not a great offensive team. They do have a decent run game with Tony Pollard but the rest of the team is just playing meh football. The defense is sadly better than the offense but most people wouldn't have noticed it based on their record. The Titans could possibly play spoiler as the Colts are trying to hang on and hope for a playoff spot. I just don't know if they can keep up against them. The play of Anthony Richardson could possibly give the Titans a run for their money. He is a wild card. 

Indianapolis had a chance to go up on the Broncos. Had Jonathan Taylor held onto the ball and have the ball crossed the plane. Instead, he did a Leon Lett and didn't score a touchdown. Since that play, the Colts were outscored 21 points in unanswered fashion. Turnovers were the thing in that game as Anthony Richardson and the offense gave up the ball four times in the 2nd half. You can't do that in any game in the NFL and hope to win. Fortunately, they play against the cellar team in the AFC South this week. Anthony Richardson is a wild card of a quarterback. You just don't know what you'll get with him. I still think the Colts would've been better off with Joe Flacco at quarterback. I don't get paid enough sadly to be a head coach in the NFL. Nor do I want to deal with owner Jim Irsay. The Colts should be able to win but at this point, I don't know how well they can do in this game. They could win by 20 or 2 at this point. I'll take the Colts. 

All-time series: Colts lead 38-22

Minnesota (12-2) @ Seattle (8-6) (FOX; 4:05 pm)

Pick: Vikings

The Vikings beat the Bears and the Seahawks lost to the Packers last week. Minnesota has had a successful season. They could possibly win this game and have the Lions lose and they would be able to take control of the NFC North. For this game, the Vikings will need to play better in terms of passing the ball. Sam Darnold was off a bit on some throws against Chicago, including the rare interception last week. The offense will need to do their due diligence against the Seahawks defense that was having a decent time of things this season. The Vikings should win this game with their offense and the defense shutting down the Seahawks offense with Sam Howell or Geno Smith. Whoever makes the start at quarterback. 

Seattle had a chance to get more of a leg up on the division. Last week against Green Bay, it all came crashing down. They lost Geno Smith to injury and the offense fell apart as expected. The defense got tired and they let the Packers push through and get a win on the road. Sadly the 12th man couldn't save them. With another NFC North team coming to down, the Seahawks will need to once again have their offense try to outscore against a team that is probably better on offense than them. I don't know if the Seahawks offense can keep up against the Vikings offense. It will be telling if the Seahawks defense can put a few stops together and get a win. I don't think it'll happen. 

All-time series: Seahawks lead 13-6

Jacksonville (3-11) @ Las Vegas (2-12) (CBS; 4:25 pm)

Pick: Raiders

The Jaguars lost to the Jets and the Raiders lost to the Falcons last week. A battle of two teams vying for the #1 pick. Sadly one of them has to win this one or at least tie. It could get ugly. Mac Jones as a Jaguar hasn't gone great. Maybe to be expected as he was slightly better when he was in New England. The experiment has kind of failed. The rest of the team isn't as better but they have some pieces to work. Tank Bigsby is certainly a capable running back that can get yards. 

Las Vegas is currently having a similar season to Jacksonville. They have had a season full of spotty quarterback play and defensive play that is just not good. Desmond Ridder is their best option for the rest of the season. The Raiders have had some history with playing against Mac Jones with his time in New England. For example, the terrible play in the 2022 game in the final seconds of the game. Maybe that might give them some insights to this game. The defense should do alright as Mac Jones as a Jaguar is just really ugly. The game reeks of awful and I don't want to think about it anymore. Raiders win. 

All-time series: Jaguars lead 6-4

San Francisco (6-8) @ Miami (6-8) (CBS; 4:25 pm)

Pick: Dolphins

Both teams lost as the 49ers lost to the Rams and the Dolphins lost to the Texans last week. San Francisco has had a slightly rough season in an NFC title defense this season. It is a season of injuries, not closing out games, not paying attention to details sort of season. The injuries happens to all teams. It is a recurring theme for the 49ers in past seasons. It might be a season where the 49ers will have to make a lot of decisions regarding keeping or letting Christian McCaffrey go or paying Brock Purdy big money. That's in the future. In this game, the 49ers might be able to get a win but they have to do better on offense with a balance on offense and take the pressure off of Brock Purdy. The defense will have its hands full with Jonnu Smith and Tyreek Hill for sure.

Miami has had a roller coaster of a season. The losses have mostly been caused by Tua Tagovailoa missing time and then the offense with Tua failing to get more points than the opposition. The offense will need to play better and protect the football. The 49ers defensive line might be down but they are not out in terms of missing key players. Defensively, the Dolphins might be finding their hands full in the game as the 49ers do have some players that are quite good with Deebo Samuel and Isaac Guerendo in the backup role of McCaffrey. The big thing is keeping Brock Purdy on the sideline. I really wish that the Dolphins would utilize their running game more often but I don't get paid enough to be an NFL head coach. I don't trust the 49ers so I'll take the Dolphins. 

All-time series: Dolphins lead 8-7

Tampa Bay (8-6) @ Dallas (6-8) (NBC; 8:20 pm)

Pick: Buccaneers

The Buccaneers beat the Chargers and the Cowboys beat the Panthers last week. The Sunday night game features a team that is trying to stay in the playoffs as a division winner while the other is just trying to get a win and hope for the best. Tampa got a big win against the Chargers. A win against a relatively good team in Los Angeles. With a healthy core the Buccaneers can make a run and make opponents in the NFC playoffs quake at their feet. I wouldn't want to face them with that tandem of wide receivers and a running game that can hurt. The Buccaneers offense isn't without faults. Baker Mayfield has been known to throw interceptions when he shouldn't. He plays the hero a bit too much at times. They need to be cautious against the Cowboys. 

The Cowboys are down but they are not out in terms of the playoffs. They need to win this game and get some help. The game itself is a night game and the teams ahead of Dallas could very well have won and the game might be more meaningless than anything. Cowboys fans might need to become Eagles fans which is kind of odd if you ask me. The Cowboys in this game might have some struggle keeping up with the Buccaneers on offense. If Dak Prescott was playing this might be a different story. Cooper Rush could very well possibly do well in the Buccaneers defense. You do have to remember he threw three touchdowns against the Panthers defense. I think the Buccaneers take this game so that we don't have to hear more about Dallas.  

All-time series: Cowboys lead 16-6

New Orleans (5-9) @ Green Bay (10-4) (ABC; 8:15 pm)

Pick: Packers

The Saints lost to the Commanders and the Packers beat the Seahawks last week. New Orleans was once upon a time the highest scoring, highest-yardage team in the NFL. That was back in Week 2 after a blowout win at Dallas. You'd be surprised to see that they are 3-9 since that time. It certainly hurts even more that their offensive leader in passing stats is injured again. Jake Haener wasn't much of a factor against Washington but his backup Spencer Rattler did provide some help to an offense that needed it. They now go to the cold of Lambeau Field a few days before Christmas. I don't trust their offense but maybe their defense can do something against the Packers. Maybe is a bit of a stretch. 

Green Bay is currently at 10-4 and will likely play 3rd wheel to the Lions and Vikings in the overpowered NFC North. It might work out well to their advantage as they can be viewed as an underdog of sorts. The offense needs to keep going and play error-free football in this point of the season. The running game has been doing well with Josh Jacobs surpassing the 1,000 rushing yard mark. The Packers defense last week did really well against the decent offense of the Seahawks, going after the quarterback. It is a formula that they should find some advantage with Spencer Rattler in at quarterback. I'll take the Pack. 

All-time series: Packers lead 18-10

Cleveland (3-10), Jacksonville (3-10), NY Jets (3-10), Tennessee (3-10), New England (3-10), Las Vegas (3-10)

A lot of teams eliminated in the AFC. There are some that are still hoping out to get a wild card spot as Cincinnati would need a Baltimore collapse and to win out to get in. Buffalo is ahead of Pittsburgh based on strength of victory (Buffalo has .454 and Pittsburgh .408). Baltimore is ahead of both LA and Denver based on head-to-head. The Chargers are ahead of Broncos based on head-to-head. A lot of football left for the three teams in the wild card spot. Let's look at the NFC.

Better Luck Next Year

NY Giants (2-11)

A bit more quiet for the NFC with tiebreakers. A lot more wide open for the wild card spots as there's at least four teams that have 6-7 wins behind Washington. A lot of pressure for those to get in and those who are looking to stay in. I don't want to say that Washington is vulnerable but they kind of are somewhat. 

Week 15 Preview

The fifteenth week of the National Football League's regular season will start in Santa Clara, California and finish up in Las Vegas, Nevada. Week 15 features a 16-game slate where all 32 teams will play. The week features two division games, six interconference games, three NFC games and five AFC games. There will be a Thursday night game, seven early games, five late games, a Sunday night game, and two Monday night games. Both FOX and CBS will have doubleheaders this week (typically broadcast deal has both doubleheaders in Weeks 1 and 18 but FOX wanted doubleheader only for Week 1). No teams are on a bye this week. Let's get to the picks!

Week 15 Picks

Note: All game times are in US Eastern.

LA Rams (7-6) @ San Francisco (6-7) (Amazon; 8:15 pm)

Pick: 49ers

The Rams beat the Bills and the 49ers beat the Bears last week. A doozy of a matchup to start the week. Los Angeles got a big win against one of the top teams in the AFC in Buffalo. Their offense matched the Bills play for play in the game and hung on to win. The offense needed to do that as they were pretty much playing for their playoff lives at this point in the season. Standing in their way is the 49ers. A team that is next to them in the standings. It should be noted that the Rams beat the 49ers earlier in the season so there is that tiebreaker at the moment. Should they win this game, they own the tiebreaker if they have the same record. I think the Rams defense will need to hang tough against their rivals. The offense just needs to keep putting up points as much as possible. 

San Francisco has been having a rough defense of an NFC title this season. The injuries had been piling up and the losses have been more on their defense with some partial blame to Brock Purdy at times. The offense just seems to go quiet during the losses when they had a lead and blew it at the end of a game. The win against Chicago was not one of those games as they really put the hurt on Chicago. They held the Bears to four offensive yards and forced them to punt five times by halftime. The 49ers will need to realize that the Rams will be coming in on a short week and look to put up points on them early and often. The key for this one will be which team can hold onto the ball the most and really get their running games going. It will be a tight one but I think the 49ers will win as they have usually done well at home against the Rams. 

All-time series: 49ers lead 78-70-3

Baltimore (8-5) @ NY Giants (2-11) (CBS; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Ravens

The Ravens had a bye and the Giants lost to the Saints last week. The last time we saw the Ravens was a close loss to the Eagles. They kind of were surprised by the amount of physical play that the Eagles offered them. In a dual of the running backs, Saquon Barkley won it. Suffice to say, the Ravens won't be playing against the Eagles this week. They will be facing off against the worst team in the NFC with the Giants. A rushing defense that is ranked #1 should find some advantage against a team that is lacking in offense. New York has Tyrone Tracy and occasionally a Drew Lock run. They should be able to find a win in the Giants as they are just not a great team against the run either. I feel Derrick Henry should find a few holes and get a fair bit of yardage. I think its a rebound win for the Ravens. 

New York was kind of competitive against New Orleans. It was a 14-11 loss to be honest. Had Graham Gano hit the field goal or Drew Lock not thrown the interception, it might've been a different story that we tell this week. Sadly to say, the Giants are not a great team. They have a rough run defense that gives up yards. It spells trouble as they have Derrick Henry to deal with. If there is some hope, the Giants do have an average rush offense. It's just that the pass offense is quite putrid. I think the Giants will take the loss and have their worst season since 1974. 

All-time series: Ravens lead 5-3

Cincinnati (5-8) @ Tennessee (3-10) (FOX; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Bengals

The Bengals beat the Cowboys and the Titans lost to the Jaguars last week. Cincinnati is still alive by a thread of a chance. Current playoff projections have them getting in with a 2.2% chance of getting in. Insert that Jim Carry gif from that one movie. The Bengals come into this game with a win against Dallas. It was a close win but a win nonetheless. They should find some hope in getting a win against the Titans. The offense has been playing off the wall great. They will run into one of the better defenses in the league. Yes the Titans have a terrible record but don't let it fool you. I just hope that the Bengals don't take them lightly either. 

Tennessee has been pretty awful this season. The quarterback situation hasn't quite improved as Will Levis hasn't done great. Tony Pollard is close to being a 1,000 rushing yard season. A lone bright spot to the Titans offense. They have some decent wide receivers with Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrookhine who leads the team with eight touchdowns. The Titans offense will need to stay with the Bengals all game and I just don't know if they have the weapons to do it. Then again they are facing off against one of the worst defenses in football with the Bengals defense. I just don't see the Titans getting a win. 

All-time series: Titans lead 41-37-1

Dallas (5-8) @ Carolina (3-10) (FOX; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Cowboys

The Cowboys lost to the Bengals and the Panthers lost to the Eagles last week. Dallas had a chance to win against the Bengals. It was a game they probably should've won. The Cowboys had a chance to go down the field to score a potential game-winning score. It would be not as they muffed a punt that would turn into a Bengals score a few plays later. Dallas comes into this game with a chance to get a win but they cannot take the Panthers lightly. Dallas is trying to get a playoff spot and the Panthers would like nothing more than to play spoiler. Their offense really needs to score early and often and get Rico Dowdle involved often. 

Carolina has been in a rough spot this season. It is much to be expected as they were supposed to be at this point per their record last year and that they didn't do a whole lot to improve their team. David Tepper has also been the reason as well. Coming into this game, the Panthers will need to get Bryce Young to throw a fair bit as they cannot rely on Chuba Hubbard a lot. You have to expect that the Cowboys are planning on game planning on slowing down the running back. At this point, the Panthers are just playing for their jobs and to showcase for other teams next season. To play spoiler and ruin the Cowboys season even more is a worthy proposition. I just don't think that they will win this one. 

All-time series: Cowboys lead 11-5

Kansas City (12-1) @ Cleveland (3-10) (CBS; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Chiefs

The Chiefs beat the Chargers and the Browns lost to the Steelers last week. Kansas City is the two-time defending champions. They have been having a successful defense season so far but they have been lucky. The 19-17 score last week is also the same score against Las Vegas. This time the Chiefs actually managed to get a field goal. Truly the football gods are insane sometimes. I have to expect that the Chiefs offense will struggle a bit. At least until their defense gets a takeaway, anything is up in the air with that offense. We just haven't seen a game from Kansas City where their offense just takes over and overwhelms an opponent like what we have seen in the past. 

Cleveland is having a bad season. Especially after the successful season they had last season with Joe Flacco coming off the couch and lead the Browns to the playoffs. Jameis Winston has been a solid contributor for the offense in terms of passing. He can get you yards and touchdowns but he also throws interceptions as well. Just comes with the territory of having a sort of gunslinger. He was doing the same thing in Tampa Bay. If the Browns are to win this, I think they really need to get out ahead and force Patrick Mahomes to throw it. It is a tall task and I don't think that the Browns will win this one. 

All-time series: Chiefs lead 15-11-2

Miami (6-7) @ Houston (8-5) (CBS; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Texans

The Dolphins beat the Jets and the Texans had a bye last week. Miami has been on a bit of a roll lately. They have won four of their last five games with a blip of a loss against Green Bay. The pass offense has been playing up to par and perhaps at times well above their ability. I question their running game at times. Especially the fact that De'Von Achane has been having a quiet season as he seems less likely to get close to a 1,000 rushing yard season. It will need to be a game where the balanced offense is needed. The Texans defense is top-10 in that category of stopping the run. Sustaining drives would be good as well. 

The last time we saw Houston was a tight 23-20 win against the Jaguars. It was the game where Azeez Al-Shaair would knock Trevor Lawrence out of the game. Houston will have a bit of rest under their belt in the late of the season. Typically late season byes are beneficial. Houston's defense should be able to really go after the Dolphins offense. The rush offense of the Dolphins has been not nearly as great as the pass. Houston is even better in stopping the pass. CJ Stroud and the passing game has been kind of great at times but turnovers have been a bit of an issue for the sophomore quarterback. The running game has been run of the mill as well. I think the offense should be able to do well enough to get a win but if turnovers really rear their ugly head I think the game will be closer than Texans fans would want. I'll take the Texans. 

All-time series: Texans lead 8-3

NY Jets (3-10) @ Jacksonville (3-10) (FOX; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Jets

The Jets lost to the Dolphins and the Jaguars beat the Titans last week. New York got some rough news after their loss to Miami. For the 14th straight season, the Jets will not make the playoffs. Sad news indeed. With the expectations being high for them it is a bit of a disappointing season. With that out of the way, the Jets will go to sunny Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars. With Trevor Lawrence out, Mac Jones is in for them. The quarterback didn't do a whole lot and I can't expect him to do a whole lot. The Jets are all too familiar with him in his time at New England. I think the Jets should be able to win with their offense putting up at least 20 points in this one. They should be able to do that and let their defense handle the Jaguars with ease. 

Jacksonville got a rare win this season. They managed to put just enough points to get a win against Tennessee with just 10 points. Mac Jones didn't do a whole lot in the game and their defense did most of the work. The running game helped out a bit but it will be up to Mac to keep up with Aaron Rodgers in this one. New York's defense is one of the better units in the league. Just hope for the best with a balanced offense. If the Jaguars defense somehow shuts down the Jets offense it might be a miracle. Going after Aaron Rodgers might be their best option in this game on the defense. I'll take the J-E-T-S. 

All-time series: Jaguars lead 9-8

Washington (8-5) @ New Orleans (5-8) (FOX; 1:00 pm)

Pick: Commanders

The Commanders had a bye week and the Saints beat the Giants last week. Last time we saw the Commanders was a win against the Titans. They had a great time running the ball with 267 rushing yards and Jayden Daniels had three passing touchdowns. The offense is really good that is for sure. The defense is not that bad either but their rush defense is a bit of a problem. Something that they will need to shore up against a decent running game with New Orleans. Washington has lost three of their last four games and with a bye week, they need to get off to a good start in this one. 

New Orleans at one point this season was the best offense in the NFL. Then the losses piled up and they were at one point 2-7. They have now won three of their four games and look to continue their run again. I don't know how well they can handle the running game of the Commanders in this game. They seem to be also without Derek Carr again as he suffered a fracture to his non-throwing hand in the win against New York. That means that Spencer Rattler will likely get the nod to start. It might be a bit of a problem that Rattler starts as he hasn't been a player that I have confidence in. I think the Commanders take it. 

All-time series: Commanders lead 17-11

Buffalo (10-3) @ Detroit (12-1) (CBS; 4:25 pm)

Pick: Bills

The Bills lost to the Rams and the Lions beat the Packers last week. Josh Allen is quite the quarterback. It is a darn shame that he is playing for the Bills at times. His play last week against Los Angeles kind of proved that. He had six total touchdowns (3 pass, 3 run) in the loss. He is also the first quarterback to have that six touchdown mark and lose a game. Go figure for him. At least he is married to Hailey Steinfeld. Back to topic, the Bills will have a tough test against the Lions in a rebound contest. The Bills defense really got exposed a bit against the Rams and they will need to play their best against a juggernaut in the Lions offense. You pretty much have to expect that any drive is four-down territory for the Lions. I think its a toughie of a matchup. 

Detroit is having quite the season. They are the best team in the NFL. There I said it. They have a playoff berth clinched for the first time in consecutive seasons since the 1990's. The Lions will face off against a really good but down Bills team. Both teams are really good on offense and defense with a bit of an edge to the Lions defense. Jared Goff is not Josh Allen in terms of running ability however. I view Goff as a pocket passer than anything. The Lions haven't lost a game since Week 2 and that is quite a while ago like mid-September. They need to keep an eye on Josh Allen at all times and force him to beat you I think. Maybe throw the ball deep early or get a lead early. It seemed to work for the Rams. 

All-time series: Bills lead 23-17-1

Indianapolis (6-7) @ Denver (8-5) (CBS; 4:25 pm)

Pick: Broncos

The Colts and Broncos had a bye last week. A late season bye for both teams so they should be equally rested for this one. Indianapolis has been a weird team for sure. The quarterback situation has been a doozy as Anthony Richardson hasn't really improved in year 2 as a quarterback in the NFL. I humbly think that Joe Flacco would be the answer but the Colts have been playing better. They have won at least two of their last three games, given they were one-point wins against the Jets and Patriots. They will really need to play well and have Anthony Richardson to not throw turnovers in this one. The Colts need to get their offense and defense going as well. The rest of the league hasn't figured out Bo Nix yet so there's that. 

Denver has been a surprise this season for sure. Bo Nix keeps on making a bigger and bigger case for Rookie of the Year on offense more and more. Bo's secret to success has to be having a wide receiver group that is willing to lend a helping hand and a defense that is pretty good as well. The Broncos just need to put up 23 or so points and it is game over. Denver does have a solid run defense as they allow just 94.7 yards/game on the ground. The 242.0 yards/game might be a bit exaggerated as they did get torched against Jameis Winston in the Monday night win. Seems weird to note that the Broncos were possibly going to be a lot worse in the early part of the season. Much to everyone's surprise, they have broken expectations. I'll take Denver. 

All-time series: Colts lead 15-14

New England (3-10) @ Arizona (6-7) (CBS; 4:25 pm)

Pick: Patriots

The Patriots had a bye and the Cardinals lost to the Seahawks last week. New England got a much needed bye week. The offense is not as great as they should be but I have to think that they are somewhat better than last year. Drake May has been a promising quarterback of the future for the Patriots. They just need an offensive line that doesn't have false start or holding penalties. The defense of New England's been the Debbie downer for the Patriots as they have taken a step back from last year's squad. it is perhaps because of coaching decisions or that the trades that New England has made just for draft capital seems a bit of the reasons. They haven't gotten takeaways this season and that would be best for them to win this one. Get Kyler Murray off his game. 

Arizona has lost three straight games since going on a 6-4 record. That was prior to the first Seahawks game. Since then they lost by one to the Vikings and then lost by 12 against the same Seahawks team. I just think that the offense has kind of let down the rest of the team with its potential firepower. They have Marvin Harrison Jr. and might as well use him. He is a rookie after all. James Conner would be a great running back to use as well as the Patriots run defense has been a bit of a step back as well as their pass defense. I think the Cardinals will probably win but I'll take the Patriots as a risk and I don't know if I can trust the Cardinals enough to get a win. 

All-time series: Patriots lead 9-7

Pittsburgh (10-3) @ Philadelphia (11-2) (FOX; 4:25 pm)

Pick: Steelers

The Steelers beat the Browns and the Eagles beat the Panthers last week. The battle of Pennsylvania! The Steelers come into this game with one of their better seasons as of late. They used to have a struggle to get just to 9 wins or so and that was during the last few weeks of the season. They have 10 this season. The Steelers offense hasn't been quite as great as they should but it is the defense that has been really playing outside of their limits in this season of promise. It will be a tall task for their defense to slow down the running attack of Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley. So far no one has been able to figure it out. 

Philadelphia has been having a great season. It seems reminiscence to their 2022 season where the Eagles went on that run to ultimately lose to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. The only real difference between that team and this team is Saquon Barkley. Barkley just needs 377 yards to get to 2,000 yard mark. A mark that seems to be diminished in the era of high scoring, pass offense. It is a nice thing to see rather. I often think that football games are won in the trenches and it feels like a toss-up on whether team can win it early and often in this one. The defensive front of the Steelers is very solid with Cam Heyward and TJ Watt in the middle of that trench. I don't know how well the Eagles can do in this one as they have been playing a bit sluggish lately. I'll take the Steelers.  

All-time series: Eagles lead 49-29-3

Tampa Bay (7-6) @ LA Chargers (8-5) (FOX; 4:25 pm)

Pick: Buccaneers

The Buccaneers beat the Raiders and the Chargers lost to the Chiefs last week. An intriguing matchup in the late window. Tampa and Los Angeles are pretty similar in terms of running the ball. As a collective the Buccaneers have more yards with the tandem of Bucky Irving and Rachaad White leading the charge. The Buccaneers offense has been very solid within the top-10 in pass and run. The turnovers of Baker Mayfield is a bit of a concern as he has 13 interceptions. Tampa Bay is ranked 28th in giveaways in the interception category. It is something that they need him to cut down on and protect the football. 

Justin Herbert on the other hand has just one interception and the Chargers are ranked #1 in giveaways in the interception category. In Jim Harbaugh's brand of football, the passer has played a more field general role while the pressure has been more on the running game to get going. JK Dobbins is having a great season with 766 rushing yards with eight touchdowns which he leads the team in. He certainly has found a home not being in the crowded backfield of the Baltimore Ravens. Defensively, the Chargers are a solid unit with a 14th ranked rush defense and 8th ranked pass defense. Essentially an almost top-10 defense. I'm not sure how this game will play out as both teams are kind of similar but I think the Buccaneers will be ready to do battle out west and look to keep momentum going as they head for a division title. I'll take the Buccaneers. 

All-time series: Chargers lead 8-4

Green Bay (9-4) @ Seattle (8-5) (NBC; 8:20 pm)

Pick: Packers

The Packers lost to the Lions and the Seahawks beat the Cardinals last week. Green Bay lost to Detroit again. They had a chance to win it but I think it was more of the Lions making a few more plays than the Packers. Detroit is a good team so you have to give them credit. Green Bay now heads west to take on the Seahawks. Green Bay comes into this game with probably the 3rd best record in the NFC North. I just think they really need to get to the playoffs and attempt to make a run. The running attack of Green Bay's is pretty solid as they have Josh Jacobs who is having a renaissance of a season. I question how well Jordan Love can do in this game. The turnovers have been a bit of a concern. 

Seattle coming into this game have a 8-5 record and a win against the Cardinals. They are currently riding a four-game winning streak. Momentum is certainly their advantage in this game. The passing game of Seattle's is solid as they get 269.9 yards/game. The big concern for the passing game is the injuries and the turnovers of Geno Smith. The running game is their concern as well as Kenneth Walker III is having a injury filled season while Zach Charbonnet is a decent option and I think he can get going. The Seattle defense has been the concern this season. I think the defense will be a priority this offseason but in this game I don't see the Seahawks getting a win. 

All-time series: Packers lead 15-9

Chicago (4-9) @ Minnesota (11-2) (ABC; 8:00 pm)

Pick: Vikings

The Bears lost to the 49ers and the Vikings beat the Falcons last week. Chicago had so much promise this preseason. Caleb Williams would say to his punter that in a paraphrased tone "you won't be needed much this season." Low and behold the Bears having a 4-9 record with the roughest schedule the rest of the way. Last week, the 49ers would hold the Bears to four total yards and forced them to punt five times. Just a rough season for the Bears. The offensive line has been the biggest thing that has caused issues for the Monsters of the Midway as they have allowed 56 sacks this season. Safe to say, you can't get your offense going if your quarterback gets sacked before he throws the ball. I think the Bears will need to try going with the quick passing game and not go for the fancy passing patterns. A rhythm will help.

Minnesota has been having a great season. Nearly nothing that they do is a hinderance to them. Sure their passing defense has been a bit of a rough around the edges defense. Their passing offense makes up for it for sure. Sam Darnold has been having a renaissance of a season and kind of made Vikings fans forget about that JJ McCarthy guy. They somehow even picked up Daniel Jones off waivers last week. I would urge caution for the Vikings as the Bears might be down but they're not out. Any slight moment of momentum could be a problem for them. These division games are pretty much out of the window when it comes to predictions. Anything can happen. I think the Vikings will win it but I would urge caution. 

All-time series: Vikings lead 67-58-2

Atlanta (6-7) @ Las Vegas (2-11) (ESPN; 8:30 pm)

Pick: Falcons

The Falcons lost to the Vikings and the Raiders lost to the Buccaneers. Desmond Ridder faces off against his old team. Atlanta has been a run of the mill team as they have a 6-7 record. The Kirk Cousins experiment has been a bit of a success at first as he throws touchdowns. As of late, the quarterback has been throwing way too many interceptions. Not protecting the football is a big thing to win games. Atlanta is ranked dead last in interceptions with 15. Still it is a wild thing that they have a top 5 passing attack. Cousins has 17 touchdowns to his name so that has to mean something. The running game has been a fun thing to watch as the return of the Bijan Robinson-Tyler Allgeier duo has been a good thing for the Falcons. I just think that the Falcons are so much better than their play to give up the ball. 

Desmond Ridder gets to play the Maximus Decimus Meridius role as he seeks vengance over the team that drafted him. Whether he actually does that remains in question. He needs help from his running game to get going in this one. Alexander Mattison has been a bit of a quiet season with just 320 rushing yards with three touchdowns. Sadly the loss of Josh Jacobs has to hurt the Raiders more than usual. The defense as well needs to do well but it is a tall task as they are a 20th ranked passing defense. A more bend but don't break defense that sadly has seven interceptions and 13 takeaways in general this season. A big play can really get this team going. I don't trust either team but I'll take the team with the better record.
