Week 15 Picks

Thursday Night Football
ARI (-3.5) @ STL
Joe: STL

Mike: STL.
FINAL: Arizona 12-6. Terrible, just terrible. Stop with the Thursday night games. 

Sunday Games:
CIN (-0.5) @ CLE
Joe: CLE. Believe the hype on Johnny.
Mike: CLE.
Final: Oh, we know what happened.

OAK @ KC (-10.5)
Joe: OAK. Chief receivers still don't have a TD this season.
Mike: KC.
Final: KC 31-13. Looks like the Chiefs got another one.

JAX @ BAL (-14.5)
Joe: JAX. Somehow, someway... I wish.
Mike: BAL.
Final: BAL 20-12. And it's now a three-team race for the AFC North, pretty much like every other year.

PIT (-1.5) @ ATL
Joe: PIT. So just a little fantasy update for you. I have Matt Ryan as my starter but now Julio Jones is out. JFF is on my bench ready to wreck the Bengals. At 11:39 eastern time, still not sure which way to go.
Mike: PIT.
Final: PIT 27-20.  I really hope for your sake that you didn't go with Manziel.

HOU @ IND (-6.5)
Joe: IND. Colts offense will look a lot better this week.
Mike: IND
Final: IND 17-10.  How far will the Colts go? Super Bowl sleeper?

MIA @ NE (-8.5)
Joe: MIA. Dolphins always make it interesting against the Pats.
Mike: NE.
Final: NE 41-13. Uh, not in December. At Foxboro.

TB @ CAR (-5.5)
Joe: TB. Yes, that's Derek Anderson starting for the Panthers.
Mike: CAR.
Final: CAR 19-17.  Panthers can still win the division. Derek Anderson could be starting a playoff game.

WAS @ NYG (-6.5)
Joe: NYG. You got out of DC just in time to save Isaac from being a ***skin fan.
Mike: NYG.
Final: NYG 24-13. Would you trade Manziel for Griffin?

GB (-5.5) @ BUF
Joe: GB. I hope the Pack wins 42-10.
Mike: GB.
Final: BUF 21-13. What a tremendous upset and statement for the Bills. Good on them, I guess.

MIN @ DET (-7.5)
Joe: DET. Lions might get a shutout today.
Mike: DET.
Final: DET 16-14. Lions shut out the Vikings in the 2nd half. You get half a pat on the back.

NYJ (-1.5) @ TEN
Joe: NYJ. They have a better defense??
Mike: NYJ.
Final: NYJ 16-11. The only game in NFL history to end 16-11. Well done!

DEN (-4.5) @ SD
Joe: SD. Chargers keep it close despite 4 TDs from Manning.
Mike: DEN.
Final: DEN 22-10. Never put your faith in San Diego, even in fantasy. Damn you Ryan Matthews!

SF @ SEA (-9.5)
Joe: SF. As bad as the 49ers have been the last few weeks, this rivalry game will stay within one score.
Mike: SEA.
Final: SEA 17-7. A huge point spread and the Seahawks still cover. It's no longer a rivalry.

DAL @ PHI (-3.5)
Joe: DAL. Cowboys rebound from the Thanksgiving debacle and stay in the hunt with a huge win.
Mike: PHI.
Final: DAL 38-27. Colts-Cowboys Super Bowl? Kind of uninspiring.

Monday Night Football
NO (-3.5) @ CHI
Joe: NO. Just can't pick the Bears to do anything right at this point.
Mike: NO.
Final: NO 31-15. Bears simply playing out the string for this season and the next few to come.

Mike: 9-7
Joe: 8-8
