NFL Week 15 odds picks Bears flirt with upset over Packers Patriots hammer Bengals after controversial week

Wiki Article

I'm not a mathematician, but I do know that it is now mathematically impo sible for me to beat my best bets record from last year. A year ago, I posted a 49 Addison Russell Jersey -35-1 record with my five weekly best bets. This year, even if I were to go 15-0 over the next three weeks, I can't finish any better than 48-36-1 -- thanks mostly to my 1-9 start to the season in Week 1 and 2, which yeah, actually happened. With three weeks remaining, my only aim is to climb above .500 -- also known as respectability. To get there, I'm relying on my most trusted allies: , the , , , and . That might seem like a mostly untrustworthy group of players and teams (outside of the Chiefs and Patriots), but hear me out. I actually think Winston might be the safest bet in football right now, and there's plenty of reasons to trust the Bears and Dolphins this week, as I'll explain below. Onto the picks. But first, allow me a brief moment to sigh about yet another 2-3 week. Last week:2-3 This year: 33-36-1 best of the americans (@bestofamericans) 1. at Over 47 Winston leads the league in interceptions with 23 by a wide margin (seven, to be exact) and he's tied for the third-most fumbles. That's the bad. The good is that Winston averages 8.0 yards per pa s attempt, which ranks eighth, and he's thrown 26 touchdowns, which is tied for second with , behind only . This -- Winston Kris Bryant Jersey 's boom-or-bust style of play -- makes the Buccaneers a lock to engage in high-scoring games. Ten of the Buccaneers' 13 games have gone over. I don't see why the over shouldn't hit again. Even though the Buccaneers will be without , they'll be going up against a Lions team that ranks and is allowing 25.8 points per game. The Buccaneers should be able to score their normal output of points (29.1 points per game). And while the Lions' offense is down their first- and second-string quarterbacks and now , they should be able to put up points considering just how often Winston puts his defense in bad positions with his turnovers. It should come as no surprise to hear that the Buccaneers, in addition to scoring the third-most points, have allowed the second-most points (29.3 per game). A Buccaneers game has finished with a total below 47 only twice this season. 2. Bears +4.5 at Since Matt Nagy arrived in Chicago last year, the Bears have played the Packers close. They lost by one point in Week 1 of last year before beating them by seven later in the season. In Week 1 of this year, they lost by seven in a game that came down to the final po se sion. I'm expecting another close game, with the Bears managing to lose by only a field goal -- and I think they'll have a chance to pull off the upset too. I don't think the Packers are nearly as good as their record suggests. They're tied for the second-most wins in football, but their point differential of plus-39 ranks 11th. Put another way, they're closer to the (plus-38) than the (plus-194). Heck, they're closer to the Bears (plus-11) than the Ravens. Their defense is even though they have a ton of talented players. And their offense has been mostly unimpre sive with only 23.8 points per game. In the past month, we' Kosuke Fukudome Jersey ve seen them lose by double-digits to the Chargers, struggle to put away the at home, get demolished by the , beat up on a bad team, and then barely beat the at home. I just don't see any signs that this Packers team is equipped to easily dispatch the Bears. The Bears might not be good, but they're playing good football right now. In his past two starts, is completing 75.4 percent of his pa ses and averaging 8.4 yards per attempt, and he's thrown six touchdowns and two interceptions, and posted a 116.9 pa ser rating. And the Bears' defense is still very good, ranking and fourth in points allowed. I think the Bears' defense will be able to stymie the Packers' offense, and I think the offense will be able to do just enough to keep things within a field goal. 3. Patriots -9.5 at Just what the Bengals needed: As if the Patriots needed any more motivation after the entire world outside of New England has written off their Super Bowl chances due to their anemic offense, the Patriots have been accused John Lackey Jersey of . This feels like the game where the Patriots get right on offense against the while their defense (still first in DVOA, by the way) shuts down a horrible Bengals offense that -- and don't be surprised if the Patriots' defense gets in on the action too. The Patriots have generated the second-most takeaways and the Bengals have racked up the fifth-most giveaways. Patriots by a million. 4. Dolphins +3.5 at Giants Fun fact: The 3-10 Dolphins are 7-2 against the spread since Week 6, which is when seized control of the starting job. Another fun fact: The Giants are awful at football. They're somehow worse than the Dolphins Justin Grimm Jersey at 2-11, which seems hard to believe considering we once thought the Dolphins had a shot to go winle s. I don't really know how the Giants can be favored against anyone. Fitzpatrick is enough of a gunslinger to test the Giants' secondary and the Giants' secondary is bad enough that Fitzpatrick's approach should work. The Giants defense is ranked 28th against the pa s by DVOA. Fitzpatrick, meanwhile, , which ranks seventh, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. If is able to clear the concu sion protocol, he should be in for a monster outing. Either way, I'll take the Dolphins to cover against the Giants. It's what they've been doing ever since they turned to Fitzpatrick. And the Giants can't be trusted against anyone. 5. Chiefs -9.5 vs. Don't look now, but the Chiefs haven't just ripped off three straight wins, they've also covered the spread in all three of those wins, including a 31-point bludgeoning of the . The Broncos aren't as bad as the Raiders and their rookie quarterback, , is coming off a remarkable performance in a win over the , but they're going to be outmatched against the likes of and a Chiefs defense that is surprisingly decent. The Chiefs have allowed only 42 points Drew Smyly Jersey over the past three weeks. By DVOA, and they're sixth against the pa s, which doesn't bode well for Lock after he shredded the Texans' 27th-ranked pa s defense. I think we're going to see Lock come crashing back down to Earth while Mahomes does what Mahomes usually does. Going into Arrowhead and hanging with the Chiefs is a really tough ask for a rookie quarterback making his third career start. The Chiefs are rolling ever since that heartbreaking lo s to the a month ago. They should keep on rolling on Sunday against an inferior Broncos team.
