Week 15 NFL Picks

Redskins +6.5 at Giants

Alex: Giants - JPP is ready to maintain his adrenaline after his field goal block for the win last week. OK so Tuck is questionable and Osi is out but the Redskins offensive line is still overmatched by the Giants defensive line. 

Packers at Chiefs +13.5

Alex: Packers - Do I have to go into it? The matchup of the untouchable Aaron Rodgers against a brand new quarterback (Kyle Orton) and a new coach (Romeo Crennel) for the Chiefs is just asking for a blowout.

Saints at +8 Vikings

Alex: Saints - After a Falcon's win on Thursday and Drew Brees at the helm of the offense, there will be no chance for the Vikings. I mean come on, Drew Brees compiles more yards than the entire Vikings team in one game.

Seahawks + 3.5 at Chicago

Alex: Seahawks - The Bears have accumulated 13 points in each of their last two games and the Seahawks have scored more than 20 in each game this season except two and have held opponents to two scores in the past two games. They aren't out of the playoff picture yet and that gives them an edge along with the back to back big wins over the Eagles and the Rams. I'm sure Caleb Hanie won't be too much of a challenge and Forte is "definitely not 100%" so we should see a Seattle upset at Soldier Field.

Dolphins +2 at Bills

Alex: Bills - I would have picked the Dolphins but I remember they may be starting J.P. Losman. It could go either way. Bills need a win because frankly they have regressed dramatically since giving Fitzpatrick that contract. The running game of the Bills has collapsed and they are now averaging 12.8 points over their six game losing streak. It is simple, if Losman starts, Bills win; if Moore starts, Dolphins win.

Panthers + 6.5 at Houston

Alex: Panthers - Cam Newton is fed up with how his defense has played and finds himself in a perfect situation to get a much needed upset. T.J. Yates is a fifth round pick for a reason and I am a firm believer that the Texans will collapse.
