NFL Office Pool Picks Week 15 with Expert Analysis and ATS Predictions

NFL office pool picks Week 15 Tyreek Hill Kansas City Chiefs

I really hope I’m not too late to the party. I already am a bit skeptical of this card, and the fact that I am taking a majority of favorites on the spread for this week doesn’t bode well for my confidence level. Last week, favorites went 11-3 against the spread, and it gave sportsbooks their worst NFL week of the season. While I’m all for that, I find it hard to believe it’ll happen twice in a row, yet here we are, taking favorites. Good luck, and tread lightly.

Week 15 Picks Against the Spread

Kansas City Chiefs -3 over Los Angeles Chargers: When the Chiefs’ defense is playing well, there are no teams better. That’s the case right now, and I think the offense will do enough to outscore the Chargers, especially since the Chargers don’t really have a home-field advantage.

Cleveland Browns -3 over Las Vegas Raiders: The Raiders are lifeless. The Browns are fighting for their playoff lives after holding on last week against the Ravens. This will be the Raiders’ second game in a row on the road, and I don’t expect it to go well.

Indianapolis Colts -2.5 over New England Patriots: A 9-4 team on a seven-game winning streak is an underdog to a 7-6 team. I think the books are begging for Patriots’ money with this line, but they won’t be getting mine. The Colts, on the heels of their run game, get the win at home.

Buffalo Bills -10.5 over Carolina Panthers: After playing the Colts, Patriots and Bucs in a four-week span, the Bills finally get to play a bad football team in the Panthers. I expect the Bills to take out some pent-up aggression on a bad Carolina squad.

Jacksonville Jaguars -3.5 over Houston Texans: The only people who are going to watch this game are those who have money on it. I urge you, there are better games to bet on than this one. However, if you insist, take the Jags… because why not?

Pittsburgh Steelers +2 over Tennessee Titans: I think this is a game the Steelers show up and win. They were embarrassed on Thursday against the Vikings, and the head coach is pissed off and calling out players. The Titans are fresh off a 20-0 win over Jacksonville. Steelers at home are tough to beat.

Arizona Cardinals -13 over Detroit Lions: Both teams lost last week when only one of them was supposed to. I expect the Cardinals to be the team to bounce back and try and reclaim their No. 1 spot in the NFC.

Miami Dolphins -10 over New York Jets: At this point in the season, no bet against the Jets is a bad bet. I think it’s absurd to be laying double digits with the Dolphins, but the Jets could get shut out at any given time. I’ll take the home side in this one.

Dallas Cowboys -10.5 over New York Giants: The same concept as the above game applies for this one, except the Cowboys are a good team. The Giants might be without Barkley for this one, but I don’t think his presence will matter. Cowboys roll.

Philadelphia Eagles -7 over Washington Football Team: The Football team will likely be without Taylor Heinicke, who exited last week’s game with an injury. By default, I’ll be taking the Eagles as I think they can move the ball up and down the field on Washington’s 30th ranked passing defense.

Cincinnati Bengals +2.5 over Denver Broncos: The Bengals are coming off a loss in a very winnable game, while the Broncos beat up on the lowly Lions. I think the Bengals have the better roster and as such should win this contest.

San Francisco 49ers -9 over Atlanta Falcons: Not sure the Niners should be -9-point favorites over anyone, but I don’t like the Falcons playing their second game in a row on the road. The Niners are currently in a playoff spot, while the Falcons are on the outside looking it. Give me the home side.

Los Angeles Rams -7 over Seattle Seahawks: I don’t think this is a good matchup for the Seahawks this year. Every other year these teams play each other close, but the Rams are the far superior team. I expect them to dominate this one.

Green Bay Packers -5 over Baltimore Ravens: This game had the makings to be really good. However, with Lamar Jackson banged up and likely out of the lineup, I see the Packers winning this game and maintaining their spot atop the NFC.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers -11 over New Orleans Saints: The Bucs simply have too many weapons for the Saints to cover and keep up with offensively. This is a big spread, but I think Tom is going to throw for four touchdowns in this one.

Minnesota Vikings -3.5 over Chicago Bears: The Vikings welcomed back Dalvin Cook on Thursday, and he delivered a great performance. I expect more of the same this week against a Chicago defense that was just shredded by the Packers.
