The NFL regular season is winding down, as we move on to Week 15. With a few weeks left, what teams will finish their seasons on a strong note? This week will give fans a good idea. With that said, here is what to expect from Week 15.
Los Angeles Rams vs San Francisco 49ers (49ers -3) – The Los Angeles Rams come into this game 7-6. Their recent wins over the New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills helped them get there. The Rams are now second in the NFC West and this week, they take on a division rival. The San Francisco 49ers are a game below .500. They have a record of 6-7 after winning their last game. They beat the Chicago Bears 38-13. This week is a chance to get a win, become .500 and get out of last place in the division. However, the Rams should take this.
Prediction: The Rams win
Washington Commanders vs New Orleans Saints (Commanders -7.5) – The Washington Commanders are 8-5 in what has been a solid season for them. They picked up a big win over the Tennessee Titans in their last game. For their upcoming game, they will play without Noah Brown, who will likely miss the rest of the season with a “significant internal injury.”
The Commanders have a chance to pick up a win over a team that started off hot, cooled down and now have a few more wins under their belt. The New Orleans Saints started their season with two big wins, but went on a long losing streak before picking up wins over the Atlanta Falcons and the Cleveland Browns. The Saints also picked up a win in their last game, as they beat the New York Giants 14-11. The Saints have a tough opponent this week and will likely lose this game.
Prediction: The Commanders win
Kansas City Chiefs vs Cleveland Browns (Chiefs -4) – The Kansas City Chiefs are back to their winning ways, as they are on a three-game winning streak since their loss to Buffalo. They beat the Carolina Panthers, the Las Vegas Raiders and the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chiefs can keep their momentum going with a win over Cleveland. The Cleveland Browns lost to their rival Pittsburgh Steelers in their last game. They beat two two games prior but suffered a loss to the Denver Broncos after that. The Browns have had a rough season, and they face an extremely tough opponent. The Chiefs should have no problem winning this one.
Prediction: The Chiefs win
Cincinnati Bengals vs Tennessee Titans (Bengals -5) – The Cincinnati Bengals are 5-8 this season after picking up a win over the Dallas Cowboys. They have a chance to pick up another win against a struggling Tennessee. The Tennessee Titans are 3-10 and are on a two-game losing streak. They lost to the Commanders and the Jacksonville Jaguars in those games. Chances are, the Bengals will do just enough to pick up a win.
Prediction: The Bengals win
Miami Dolphins vs Houston Texans (Texans -3) – The Miami Dolphins are a game under .500. They are 6-7 after their overtime win over the New York Jets. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is doing well despite the setback earlier in the season. He and the Dolphins have a task ahead of them as they take on the Houston Texans. The Texans picked up a win over Jacksonville in their last game, and had some time to rest after. They are back in action this week and they are looking to get another win. The Texans are 8-5 and are on top of the AFC South. This could be a good game but the Texans will likely take it.
Prediction: The Texans win
Baltimore Ravens vs New York Giants (Ravens -16) – The Baltimore Ravens are second in the AFC North. They have a record of 8-5. They lost their last game as the Philadelphia Eagles beat them 24-19. The Ravens had some time to rest and they have an easy game as they take on the New York Giants. The Giants are 2-11 and are on an eight-game losing streak. Luck is not in their favor this week and the Ravens will hand them another loss.
Prediction: The Ravens win
New York Jets vs Jacksonville Jaguars (Jets -3.5) – The New York Jets are 3-10 and are on a four-game losing streak. Their last loss was to the Dolphins. They have a solid chance at snapping their streak against Jacksonville. The Jacksonville Jaguars have an identical record but picked up a win over Tennessee in their last one. Jacksonville is a slightly better team at home than they are on the road. This is a chance to pick up their second consecutive win.
Prediction: The Jaguars win
Dallas Cowboys vs Carolina Panthers (Panthers -3) – It has been an interesting season for the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are 5-8 this season after losing their last game. Dallas has some solid wins, but they have losses like their 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. They can be a hard team to predict but they take on a struggling team. The Carolina Panthers are 3-10. They are on a three-game losing streak as they lost to the Eagles in their last game. The Cowboys are a bad team at home but they are better on the road. They are 1-6 at home but they are 4-2 on the road. This is a chance to pick up a road win.
Prediction: The Cowboys win
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Los Angeles Chargers (Chargers -3) – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on a three-game winning streak beating the Giants, the Panthers and the Raiders. They are on the road as they take on Los Angeles. The Chargers are 8-5 after losing a close game to the Chiefs. The Chargers are solid at home and the Buccaneers are a good team on the road. Los Angeles is 4-2 at home while Tampa Bay is 4-2 on the road. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
Prediction: The Chargers win
Indianapolis Colts vs Denver Broncos (Broncos -4) – The Indianapolis Colts are 6-7 after beating the New England Patriots in their last game. The Colts can pick up another win as they head to Denver. The Broncos are on a three-game winning streak beating the Falcons, the Raiders and the Browns. Denver had some time to unwind after Cleveland and are gearing up for this upcoming matchup. And they should have no problem getting the win.
Prediction: The Broncos win
New England Patriots vs Arizona Cardinals (Cardinals -6) – The New England Patriots are 3-10 and on a losing streak. It has not been the easiest season for them but this week could be a positive for them. The Arizona Cardinals are 6-7 and are on a losing streak of their own. They lost to the Seattle Seahawks, the Minnesota Vikings and the Seahawks once again. They have a shot at picking up a win, especially as a team that is 4-3 at home.
Prediction: The Cardinals win
Buffalo Bills vs Detroit Lions (Lions -2.5) – The Buffalo Bills are the top team in the AFC East. They have a record of 10-3 and the closest team in that division is Miami. The Bills lost a close game to the Rams. The Rams won 44-42. The Bills are heading to Detroit to take on one of the best teams of the season. The Detroit Lions are 12-1 and they are on top of the NFC North. They are on an 11-game winning streak and have been impressive in the process. Detroit will keep their hot streak going in this one.
Prediction: The Lions win
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Philadelphia Eagles (Eagles -5.5) – The Pittsburgh Steelers are on top of the AFC North. They have a record of 10-3 and are on a two-game winning streak since their loss to the Browns. They beat the Bengals and the Browns in a rematch. They head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. The Eagles are 11-2 and are on a nine-game winning streak.
In what could be a good game, the Eagles will get the win.
Prediction: The Eagles win
Green Bay Packers vs Seattle Seahawks (Packers -3) – The Green Bay Packers are third in the NFC North. They have had a strong season with their 9-4 record, but they are in the same division as the Lions and the Vikings. The Packers lost to the Lions in their last game (in Detroit) and are on the road once again. They head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. The Seahawks are on a four-game winning streak with their last win being a victory over the Cardinals. Seattle is home for this game where they are 3-4. On the road, they are 5-1. With the Seahawks being a better team on the road compared to when they are at home, this is a good opportunity for Green Bay to pick up a win.
Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings (Vikings -7) – The Chicago Bears are 4-9 and are on a seven-game losing streak. They are facing a strong division rival in Minnesota. The Vikings are on a six-game winning streak and are 11-2. This could be a good win for them and their streak will likely remain intact.
Prediction: The Vikings win
Atlanta Falcons vs Las Vegas Raiders (Falcons -4) – The Atlanta Falcons are on a four-game losing streak with their last loss being a 42-21 one to the Vikings. They are facing a 2-11 team in Las Vegas. The Raiders are on a nine-game losing streak. This game is about snapping losing streaks, and the Falcons have a better chance of doing so.
Prediction: The Falcons win
