Mile High Report
Week 15 of the NFL regular season is upon us. My Week 14 picks were thrown off a bit due to several upsets. I picked 9 of 14 games correctly. Through fourteen weeks I’m now sitting at 139-69 with predictions. That’s 67-percent accuracy, but several points lower than how I performed last season. Let’s see how well I can do with my Week 15 picks.
Thursday Night Football — Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Winner: Buccaneers
Tampa Bay losing to the New Orleans Saints last weekend was one of the upsets I didn’t see coming. Now, they are tied with the Carolina Panthers at 7-6. The Panthers and Buccaneers will go head-to-head twice in the final three weeks of the season, but the first order of business for Tampa Bay is to get back on track against the Falcons. I believe they ultimately will.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Cleveland Browns at Chicago Bears
Winner: Bears
Both the Browns and Bears earned marks in the loss column last weekend. The Browns don’t have much to play for, but the Bears are still in the thick of it in the NFC’s playoff race. I have a feeling the Bears will find a way to keep their postseason hopes alive and get a big win at home.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals
Winner: Ravens
It would take an absolute miracle for the Bengals to somehow make the postseason. The Ravens are still in the thick of it, but their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend put them on the outside looking in. The Bengals won the matchup a few weeks ago. I expect Lamar Jackson and company to perform much better this time and find a way to keep their playoff hopes alive. I’m taking Baltimore.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs
Winner: Chargers
The Chargers were able to takedown the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, while the Chiefs floundered against the Houston Texans on Sunday Night Football. The Chargers need this win to keep pace with the Denver Broncos in the AFC West, whereas a loss by Kansas City would all but vanquish their postseason hopes. I have a feeling Justin Herbert and company will find a way to win on the road.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots
Winner: Bills
The Bills are poised for a wildcard berth in the AFC. However, they are two games behind the Patriots in the AFC East. The Patriots earned a 23-20 victory on the road in Buffalo earlier in the season. It’d be tough for Buffalo to win the division if they drop this game. With that in mind, I think Josh Allen finds a way to outduel Drake Maye.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Washington Commanders at New York Giants
Winner: Giants
After playing the Denver Broncos down to the wire two weeks ago, the Commanders were shutout and embarrassed by a struggling...
