Week 15
NFL
Scores, Upsets and Predictions

Week 15 starts off in the cold and windy city of Chicago. The Saints won't have the comforts of the Superdome as they face the Bears on Thursday night football.

Other lingering questions remain as the Jets have dropped two in a row and now Miami is th talk of the town as to winning the AFC East division. Carolina ran all over the Bucs, the Lions continue to go 0-fer, and the Giants were affected by all of the media that occurred off of the field. Will they respond against Dallas?

Let's get to the predictions:

New Orleans Saints at Chicago Bears
While the Saints won a huge game against Atlanta last week, they will freeze in Chicago and choke big time. This should be a good game, but the environmental factors favor the Bears. Thursday Night Football
Bears 17 Saints 10


Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons
Both teams need a win badly. Both were embarrassed by in conference rivals, but I have to give it to Atlanta for this game. The Bucs did not look good at all against Carolina, and I think Matt Ryan will have a huge day in this game.
Falcons 31 Bucs 20


Washington Redskins at Cincinnati Bengals
The Redskins are toast this season. The Bengals are grateful for Detroit and their embarrassing year. This will be a hoo humm type of game.
Redskins 21 Cincinnati 17


Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans
This will be a great game. Tennessee is playing strong, but so is Houston. There is snow in Houston, so will it help them or hurt them with the open dome? I smell an upset here. Week 15 Upset of the Week
Texans 27 Titans 25


Detroit Lions at Indianapolis Colts
Detroit will play tough against NFC North teams and then get blown out of the water the following week. This is the week that they will get blown out again.
Colts 42 Lions 10


Green Bay Packers at Jacksonville Jaguars
I guess the Pack are theoretically still in it, but reality needs to set in. They're toast, and so are the Jaguars. Jags have the home field advantage, but it isn't a big one.
Jaguars 24 Packers 20


San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs
Chargers are stronger and will overcome the cold weather to pull this one out. Chiefs are a mess.
Chargers 17 Chiefs 6


San Francisco 49ers at Miami Dolphins
While the 49ers pulled off the upset of the Jets last week, they will not have success in Miami. Miami is on a streak right now, and I just don't see them pulling off the upset here. Dolphins are in control of their destiny. But 3 weeks is like eternity in the NFL.
Dolphins 28 49ers 17


Buffalo Bills at New York Jets
The Jets better turn it around or it will be a hard pill to swallow if they don't make the playoffs. Thankfully the Bills are coming to town. This is the beginning of a winning streak for the Jets.
Jets 27 Bills 10


Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams
Does anyone really care?
Seahawks 21 Rams 13


Minnesota Vikings at Arizona Cardinals
The Vikes could win the division if Chicago loses and the Vikes win. But they won't. The Cardinals need a good victory, and this is their time to get a strong victory.
Cardinals 24 Vikings 21


Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens
Beautiful match up here. Love this game. The Steelers win a tough one in the last 5 minutes of the game against Dallas. The Ravens won a great game last week. Baltimore has a better chemistry on defense than the Steelers, and the offensive will outperform Big Ben.
NFL Week 15 Game of the Week #1
Ravens 31 Steelers 21


Denver Broncos at Carolina Panthers
If the Panthers play as well as they did against the Bucs on Monday Night last week, then the Broncos are toast. I expect the Panthers to continue to dominate, and the Broncos will be another victim.
Panthers 24 Broncos 20


New England Patriots at Oakland Raiders
In a hard fought game, the Pats will come through, but it won't be easy.
Pats 17 Raiders 14


New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys
Both teams are coming off loses, and this is a huge rivalry. The Cowboys are at home, but the Giants play great on the road. The Giants are the stronger team, and they have gotten over the PB problem and are ready to smash the Cowboys. The Cowboys need this or their dream of playing in the playoffs are over. Well, Dallas, it will be a long playoff season without you. Oh well....
Week 15 Game of the Week #2
Giants 31 Cowboys 23


Cleveland Browns at Philadelphia Eagles
Good Bye Cleveland and your head coach. The cold will get you and the Eagle offensive will too.
Eagles 24 Browns 9

And that's a wrap for Week 15.
