NFL Odds: Over/Under Picks For Every Game On Week 15 Schedule
We're in the home stretch of the campaign
NFL players, coaches and fans now have grown accustomed to weekly slates being spread out over more days than usual.
Week 15 will be no different.
This time, however, the unconventional scheduling won't be due to postponements caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have scheduled NFL football this Saturday, in addition to the standard Thursday, Sunday and Monday contests.
Here are our over/under picks for every game on the latest docket. All totals are provided by consensus data.
Thursday, Dec. 17
Los Angeles Chargers at Las Vegas Raiders -- 53
The Raiders can't stop a nose bleed and the Chargers can air it out with the best of them. There should be no shortage of points in this AFC West showdown.
Pick: OVER
Saturday, Dec. 19
Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos -- 50
The Bills' offense is humming, but the Broncos are no pushovers on defense. And Denver's offense is completely anemic.
Pick: UNDER
Carolina Panthers at Green Bay Packers -- 51.5
Aaron Rodgers is playing at an MVP level, and it's tough to imagine the lousy Panthers will slow him down. Carolina's offense isn't nightmarish, so it should find some success against the Packers' average defense.
Pick: OVER
Sunday, Dec. 20
Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts -- 51
These two teams combined for 46 points two weeks ago. But Indy's defense seemingly is becoming weaker with each passing game and Deshaun Watson's play hasn't been impacted by the Texans' struggles.
Pick: OVER
Detroit Lions at Tennessee Titans -- TBD
Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings -- 46.5
These NFC North foes only combined for 32 points in Week 10. That game was in Chicago, though, and the sides will enjoy the comforts of U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday. The Bears have scored 30-plus points in each of their last two games, and the Vikings aren't very stout defensively.
Pick: OVER
Seattle Seahawks at Washington Football Team -- 44.5
Washington needs its defense to play lights out if it's going to have any shot at winning. We believe the unit will recognize this pressure Sunday, especially with starting quarterback Alex Smith likely out of action.
Pick: UNDER
New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins -- 41.5
Bill Belichick historically has been rookie quarterbacks' worst nightmare. The Patriots should give Tua Tagovailoa trouble, but the same goes for Miami's strong defense against Cam Newton and Co.
Pick: UNDER
Jacksonville Jaguars at Baltimore Ravens -- 47.5
The Ravens put up 47 points on the road against the defensively challenged Browns on Monday. Jacksonville's defense is even worse than Cleveland's. Need we say more?
Pick: OVER
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons -- 50.5
A full-fledged beatdown of a division rival would go a long way for the Bucs as the playoffs near. We're expecting to see Tom Brady and Co. pick apart the inferior Falcons, who still are in the top half of the league in points per game.
Pick: OVER
San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys -- 45.5
The Cowboys are allowing the most points per game, so even Nick Mullens and Co. should be able to do some damage to the scoreboard in Dallas. But we think the Cowboys' offense will rise to the occasion with the team's season on the line.
Pick: OVER
Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals -- 49.5
The Eagles have new life, as well as a new wrinkle to their offense with Jalen Hurts under center. We could be looking at a shootout in this matchup between dynamic, dual-threat quarterbacks.
Pick: OVER
New York Jets at Los Angeles Rams -- 44
The Rams have a top-three defense and the Jets are one of the worst offensive teams in football. LA should coast, but probably not with an electric offensive showing.
Pick: UNDER
Kansas City Chiefs at New Orleans Saints -- 51.5
The Saints' offense will be hungry to rebound after their ugly outing in Philadelphia. Patrick Mahomes probably will be, as well, following his three-interception performance against the Dolphins.
Pick: OVER
Cleveland Browns at New York Giants -- 45.5
The Giants should be able to stymy the Browns, at least to an extent. But their offense probably won't make much noise with Colt McCoy likely under center for this primetime game.
Pick: UNDER
Monday, Dec. 21
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals -- 40.5
The Steelers' offense has been struggling of late. A matchup with the below-average Bengals presents a great opportunity to bounce back.
Pick: OVER
