Week 15 Predictions

49ers at Seahawks
The weather is going to be wild as two of the NFL's best backs will be playing. It will be a low-scoring affair. Seahawks 14, 49ers 7

Cowboys at Falcons
With Dallas coming off a tough loss, and Atlanta rebounding, this will be a hard fought game to the end. It could be time for Tony Romo to break out of his two game funk. Cowboys 21, Falcons 17

Browns at Ravens
The Browns typically have trouble within their division, though they gave Baltimore a run for their money earlier this year. But the Browns were the home team then. Ravens 20, Browns 3

Lions at Packers
While the Packers were getting written off prior to their win last week, anybody should be able to beat the Lions. Packers 30, Lions 20

Texans at Patriots
Although the Pats finally lost to an inferior team, that was on the road against the Dolphins, who always give the Pats fits. Patriots 24, Texans 20

Jaguars at Titans
Tennessee is on a roll, edging out victories against superior opposition. But against the probably playoff bound Jaguars, who are on a mini-streak of their own, there's a good chance it will end. Jaguars 20, Titans 17

Dolphins at Bills
Both teams are coming off of upset victories that have them at 6-7. Both teams have winning records in their last six games. All their losses in those recent games were to teams with winning records. There is no way to make a logical prediction in this game, except to take the home team by default. Bills 21, Dolphins 18

Jets at Vikings
One week ago, the Jets looked like they had an easy road to the playoffs. We'll account their loss to intradivisional rivalry, and pick them over the Vikings, 2-5 in their last 7 games. Jets 24, Vikings 17

Steelers at Panthers
The Panthers are falling fast. The Steelers can still play when they want to, and they are on a roll. Steelers 24, Panthers 17

Buccaneers at Bears
Not many games on the week 15 schedule that will be over by the start of the 4th quarter. This is one of them. Bears 24, Buccaneers 3

Redskins at Saints
Another game that will probably be over quickly. Brees passes for over 300 yards. Saints 27, Redskins 13

Broncos at Cardinals
The rookie QB's picked back to back face off. Arizona has won 3 of 4 and Denver has lost 4 straight. Cardinals 27, Broncos 17

Eagles at Giants
Game of the week here, very huge. One wonders how long Jeff Garcia or Eli Manning can keep up their solid play. New York had a huge comeback in week 2, but I don't think they'll need it this time around. Giants 27, Eagles 20

Rams at Raiders
The two teams that ditched Los Angeles. Neither team has been remotely good of late. Expect little scoring here. Rams 13, Raiders 10

Chiefs at Chargers
San Diego is looking unstoppable. They finally had a rout last week, but after 5 straight close calls against teams such as Cleveland and Oakland. This one will be close too, and it's hard to pick against San Diego. Chargers 27, Chiefs 24

Bengals at Colts
Can Rudy Johnson run for 200 yards? Stay tuned. The Bengals are on fire lately and the Colts have struggled big-time. I don't know if a Cincy win makes this an upset, but I think they'll pull this one out. Bengals 30, Colts 27
