Mile High Report
For Week 14 of the NFL season, Mile High Report’s Christopher Hart picked 10 of 13 games correctly. Here are his straight up picks for Week 15.
For my Week 14 slate of picks, I picked 10 of 13 games correctly. Not as good as I was hoping for, but still a solid outing.
Through 14 weeks, I’m at 142-67. That brings me to 68-percent accuracy for the season. There are no more BYE weeks the rest of the season, which means sixteen games the next few weeks until the end of the year.
Let's see how I do in Week 15. Without further ado, here are this week’s picks.
Thursday Night Football — Los Angeles Rams at San Francisco 49ers
The Rams pulled off an upset over the Buffalo Bills last weekend which was one of the games I got wrong. This week they head on the road to take on a 49ers squad coming off a win as well but dealing with even more injuries. This is a pivotal matchup for both teams. The Rams can keep pace with the Seahawks in the NFC West with a win but could fall two games behind with a loss. The 49ers would have their playoff hopes vanquished if they can’t win.
Winner: Rams
Sunday Football (Early Game) – Miami Dolphins at Houston Texans
This AFC matchup has playoff implications too. The Dolphins can’t afford a loss, and the Texans can come close to clinching the AFC South with a victory. I think the Texans are a better team, but they need to improve on both sides of the ball to be competitive in the playoffs. Nevertheless, I’ll take them at home.
Winner: Texans
Sunday Football (Early Game) – Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers
Bryce Young has improved a lot since being benched earlier in the year and they’ve fought hard the past few games. Alas, they are losers of three in a row. The Cowboys are a team that’s still struggling and have been devastated by injuries. Even so, I still like their chances on the road over the Panthers. They just have more playmakers on offense even with Cooper Rush leading the way at quarterback.
Winner: Cowboys
Sunday Football (Early Game) – New York Jets at Jacksonville Jaguars
Neither the Jets nor the Jaguars have a shot at the playoffs, so this game doesn’t have any postseason implications. It’s just one of the more boring matchups this weekend. That being said, I’ll pick the Jets even though they have been a major disappointment this season.
Winner: Jets
Sunday Football (Early Game) – Cincinnati Bengals at Tennessee Titans
Ja’Marr Chase continues to put up stellar statistics week in and week out, but it would take a miracle for the Bengals to somehow make the postseason. They need to win out and have a few other playoff chase teams lose over the next few weeks. Luckily for them, their Week 15 matchup is against the Titans who are one of the...
