NFL 2023 Week 15 Picks
My pick: listed first. Home team: CAPS. Post-game comments, if any, in italics.
Saturday:
BENGALS -3 vs. Vikings ✋ — I just don’t see it happening for the Vikes down the stretch.
COLTS -1 vs. Steelers ✅ — Feel like the wheels are coming off the bus for the Steelers. Mitch Trubisky trubiskied this one good.
Broncos +5 vs. LIONS ❌ — The Lions just got smoked by the Bears. And the last time they played on national TV, Thanksgiving, they embarrassed themselves against the Packers. Feels like a team of big-game chokers. Meanwhile, Denver has looked like a good team since October. Jiminy was this a beatdown or what?
Teaser +160 ❌
- Bengals +3
- Colts +5
- Broncos +11
Sunday:
Giants +6 vs. SAINTS ❌ — Tommy Cutlets! I should have my goddamn head examined for betting on this team of misfits.
RAMS -6.5 vs. Commanders ✅ — The Rams are playing great the last two months, fighting for the playoffs, and the Commanders smell like a team that’s given up for the year.
Cowboys +2 vs. BILLS ❌ — The Bills are better than their record indicates, but they’re not top-tier. Weather forecast looks downright warm for December in Buffalo: high 40s. (Would be a fun prop bet if they set the over/under as the temperature at kickoff.) Also: Dallas has a 21-game winning streak on artificial turf.
