Week 15 Picks

Thursday Night
San Diego (+10.5) @ Denver
Joe: DEN. Not sure how you pick against the Broncos offensive machine right now, especially with 3 days of prep. 48-30, Broncos.
Mike: SD. Well just because of that, I'm going with the Chargers. Peyton is not a cold weather quarterback and San Diego will be pumped to be playing on national TV. 31-24 Denver.
FINAL: San Diego 27-20. Once again, great reasoning by Mike leads to a win. 

Sunday
Chicago (-1.5) @ Cleveland
Joe: CHI. I don't know how to pick Cleveland anymore. I really do think they'll beat the Bears but I thought they'd win more than one of their last 8.
Mike: CLE. Browns win outright.
FINAL: Chicago 38-31. That would make game #4 in a row the Browns lead in the 4th quarter and lose. This time outscored 21-7 in the final frame. How they can avoid getting Josh Gordon the ball the entire 1st half in unbelievable. 

Seattle (-7.5) @ New York Giants
J: SEA. The Giants are terrible and Coughlin will be gone at the end of the year.
M: NYG.
FINAL: Seattle 23-0. Five picks for Eli and One trip across midfield.

Houston (+4.5) @ Indianapolis
J: IND. Houston's D may still be ranked highly but their offense won't be able to score with the playoff bound Colts.
M: HOU.
FINAL: Indianapolis 25-3. Houston's preparing for Mr. Shanahan and Mr. Cousins next season. 

Buffalo (-2.5) @ Jacksonville
J: JAX. We still not picking the Bills??
M: JAX.
FINAL: Buffalo 27-20. Does anyone in the US have any idea what happened in this game? I'm guessing EJ Manuel had a decent game. 

New England (+1.5) @ Miami
J: MIA. The Pats have less receivers than the Browns at this point.
M: NE. Brady doesn't need receivers.
FINAL: Miami 24-20. Brady could've used a 6'5'' TE on that last play. 

Philadelphia (-6.5) @ Minnesota
J: PHI. Would the Browns be 9-7 if they had signed Chip Kelly??
M: PHI. AP is out. Changing my pick before kickoff.
FINAL: Minnesota 48-30. AP out, Gerhart out, no problem for some dude named Asiata who scores 3 TDs and Cassel dominating the Eagles D. 

Washington (+6.5) @ Atlanta
J: WAS. This is going to be awesome when Cousins lights it up.
M: ATL. I'd give a 3rd rd pick for him.
FINAL: Atlanta 27-26. The (Team Name You Don't Say) are getting ever closer to giving the Rams the #1 overall pick. But Shanahan will somehow end up with the #1 pick in Houston instead.  

San Francisco (-5.5) @ Tampa Bay
J: TB. This is the obvious west coast to east coast 1pm eastern game. Plus, the Bucs are actually pretty good. Phil Dawson hits the winner.
M: SF. Let's be reasonable.
FINAL: San Francisco 33-14. OK, OK so the 49ers needed this one and dominated from the outset. 

Kansas City (-5.5) @ Oakland
J: KC. The Chiefs D is too good to rotate to below average QBs against it.
M: KC.
FINAL: Kansas City 56-31. Behind 101 points from Jamaal Charles, Carlos Danger is going to the championship in the 16 team HC League!!!! After finishing 7-6 in the regular season and sneaking in the 6th seed of the playoffs, due to leading the league in scoring, the Danger's have dominated their way to the final game.  

New York Jets (+10.5) @ Carolina
J: CAR. I got my one win of the year with the Jets last week. They can go ahead and lose 38-6 this week.
M: NYJ. Just shoot me.
FINAL: Carolina 30-20. Wow, I can't believe I lost by a half point on a crap TD at the end of the game. Shocking!!

Green Bay (+6.5) @ Dallas
J: DAL. Dallas and Romo are a different team at home and will blow the Pack off the field.
M: GB.
FINAL: Green Bay 37-36. Unbelievable, another crazy win for Mike who will probably win the season by one game...this game. My analysis was spot on... for a half. 

New Orleans (-6.5) @ St Louis
J: NO. The Saints in a dome, no matter which one, are a different team and hard to stop.
M: NO.
FINAL: St Louis 27-16. At least we both picked the Saints. 

Arizona (-2.5) @ Tennessee
J: ARI. The Cards, somehow still fighting for their playoff lives, need a win this week because they finish the season with the 49ers and Seahawks.
M: TEN.
FINAL: Arizona 37-34. Joe wins by a half point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sunday Night
Cincinnati (-2.5) @ Pittsburgh
J: PIT. Classic Pittsburgh win here. Big Ben has been on fire and will continue his hot streak showing the Bengals they aren't quite ready yet.
M: CIN.
FINAL: Pittsburgh 30-20. Biggest story of the game is the hit the punter took for the Bengals. Also, the orange kitties could be outside the playoff picture with a loss next week. 

Monday Night
Baltimore (+6.5) @ Detroit
J: DET. I can't pick Baltimore for 2 reason. One, I hate them. And Two, fantasy implications for all the Detroit offensive players I have.
M: BAL.
FINAL: Baltimore 18-16. A 61 yard FG for the Ravens. The Browns curse travels city to city, week to week. 

Week 15 Results
Joe: 8-8
Mike: 6-10
