Week 15 is going to stand out for multiple reasons. Sunday won’t have a single divisional game and will feature the biggest point spread favorite of the year (Baltimore Ravens -16 points) as well as the highest Over/Under of the season (Buffalo Bills at Detroit Lions at 54.5 points). With the level of unfamiliarity opponents will have, anything is possible this weekend.
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook
Los Angeles Rams (+130) at San Francisco 49ers (-155)
The Over/Under is high (49.5 points at -110 for both Over and Under). The Rams are clicking, but the 49ers defense will make them earn every yard, which could make scoring enough to top this number difficult. Take OVER 49.5 points (-110).
Kansas City Chiefs (-225) at Cleveland Browns (+185)
The Chiefs are minor road favorites (4 points at -115 Chiefs, -105 Browns). The last four Chiefs wins have been by three points or less, but there has to be a week where all three phases click. When the Browns lose, they lose big … and they will again. Take the Chiefs and lay 4 points (-115).
Cincinnati Bengals (-250) at Tennessee Titans (+195)
The Bengals are solid road favorites (5 points at -110 for both). The Bengals lose to teams with winning records and beat bad teams. At 3-10, the Titans qualify by for the latter. Take the Bengals and lay 5 points (-110).
Washington Commanders (-375) at Indianapolis Colts (+300)
The Over/Under is low (43 points at -110 for both). Washington has scored 26 or more points in four of their last five games, and the Colts have allowed 24 points or more in their last four. Indy will score enough and allow enough to hit Over. Take Over 43 points (-110).
Baltimore Ravens (-1400) at New York Giants (+775)
The Ravens are huge favorites (16 points at -110 for both). The simple fact is that the Ravens are just as likely to win by 30 as to win by 16. The Giants have lost eight straight for a reason. Take the Ravens and lay 16 points (-110).
Dallas Cowboys (+120) at Carolina Panthers (-145)
The Cowboys have been a dumpster fire, but the only teams the Panthers have beaten this year are the Las Vegas Raiders, New Orleans Saints, and Giants (a combined 9-30). The Cowboys have been disappointing but shouldn’t be getting points. Take the Cowboys on the moneyline (+120).
New York Jets (-185) at Jacksonville Jaguars (+150)
The O/U is the lowest of the week (40.5 points at -110 for both). The Jags have hit over this is nine of their last 11 games. The Jets have hit over this number in seven of their last eight. They’re both playoff-built teams that have collapsed but share the same the misery. Take Over 40.5 points (-110).
Miami Dolphins (+125) at Houston Texans (-150)
The Texans are standard home favorites (3 points at -115 Dolphins, -105 Texans). The Dolphins could win this outright. Being given three points on a dry track with that offensive speed sounds like a plan. Take the Dolphins plus 3 points (-115).
Indianapolis Colts (+165) at Denver Broncos (-200)
The Over/Under is middle of the road (44.5 points at -110 for both). Denver’s defense is legit. A dome team in the elements is a hard pass in December. The Broncos have won four of their last five at home. Take Under 44.5 points (-110).
Buffalo Bills (+120 at Detroit Lions (-145)
The O/U is obscene (54.5 points at -110 for both). This could be a Super Bowl preview. Both teams are going to look at it that way. If one can’t stop the other, it’s game on. The Bills have scored 30 or more points in seven straight games – and they’re underdogs. Take Over 54.5 points (-110).
Pittsburgh Steelers (+185) at Philadelphia Eagles (-225)
The Eagles are big favorites (5.5 points at -110 for both). The Steelers are never 5.5-point underdogs for a reason. Only one team has accomplished what’s being asked of the Eagles. You don’t make the Steelers this big of a dog. Take the Steelers plus 5.5 points (-110).
New England Patriots (+200) at Arizona Cardinals (-250)
The Cards are solid home favorites (6 points at -110 for both). Simple truth is the Patriots lose on the road, and they lose big. It’s time for the Cardinals to say they’re in the run for one playoff spot from the NFC West. Take the Cardinals and lay 6 points (-110).
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+125) at Los Angeles Chargers (-150)
The O/U is a little stiff (45.5 points at -110 for both). The expectation is that Tampa Bay is going to press the issue, but the Chargers are a playoff team because they hold offenses down. This game screams the potential of a 19-16 game. Take Under 45.5 points (-110).
Green Bay Packers (-150) at Seattle Seahawks (+125)
The Packers are road favorites (3 points at -105 Packers, -115 Seahawks). Green Bay is a legit contender. Seattle is a legit pretender. There is no way the Seahawks win by 20. There is a realistic chance the Packers do. Take the Packers and lay 3 points (-110).
Chicago Bears (+260) at Minnesota Vikings (-350)
The Vikings are solid favorites (7 points at -115 Bears, -105 Vikings). Minnesota is having an outstanding season, but the Vikes don’t blow out teams. Essentially, giving away more than a touchdown is too much. Take the Bears plus 7 points (-110).
Atlanta Falcons (-225) at Las Vegas Raiders (+180)
The Falcons are road favorites (4 points at -110 for both). Atlanta still controls its own destiny. This is their playoff game against a toothless Raiders team that has lost eight straight. It’s unfortunate a national audience has to watch this. Take the Falcons and lay 4 points (-110).
