(4-9) Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-6)

Week 15 kicks off with an NFC South clash between two teams that really can’t afford to lose! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a horrendous loss to the New Orleans Saints last weekend, but they do still currently lead the NFC South! As it stands, The Buccaneers occupy the NFC’s Number 4 spot! As for Atlanta, they got smashed 37-9 by the Seattle Seahawks, and they currently sit third in the NFC South! If the season ended today, The Falcons would end up as the 5th-worst team in the NFC! In the end, Tampa Bay will win this game! They have to; The Bucs cannot mess this up again!
(3-10) Cleveland Browns @ Chicago Bears (9-4)

The Chicago Bears suffered a tough loss in Green Bay last weekend, and they currently sit second in the NFC North! As it stands, The Bears are just about holding onto a Playoff place! As for Cleveland, they suffered a useless loss against the Tennessee Titans last time out, and they currently find themselves last in the AFC North! If the season ended today, The Browns would be the third-worst team in the AFC! In the end, Chicago will definitely bounce back here! This is the perfect bounce-back game for The Bears because The Browns suck!
(6-7) Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals (4-9)

The Cincinnati Bengals host the Baltimore Ravens in a must-win game for both sides! The Cincinnati Bengals suffered a disappointing loss in Buffalo last weekend, and they currently sit third in the AFC North! As it stands, The Bengals are holding onto Playoff contention by a thread! As for Baltimore, they messed up last time out against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they currently find themselves second in the AFC North! If the season ended today, The Ravens would miss out on the Playoffs entirely! In the end, I’m picking The Bengals to win this game! I’ve given up on The Ravens (which probably means they’ll win), and I think Joe Burrow is good enough to win this game for Cincinnati!
(9-4) Los Angeles Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs (6-7)

The Kansas City Chiefs are firmly in last-chance saloon as they welcome the Los Angeles Chargers to Arrowhead Stadium! The Kansas City Chiefs lost again against the Houston Texans last Sunday Night, and they currently sit third in the AFC West! As it stands, The Chiefs are barely in Playoff contention! As for LA, they picked up a crucial win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, and they currently find themselves second in the AFC West! In the end, I think The Chargers will all but secure their Playoff spot once they win here! I think KC’s course is lost, and LA will gladly finish them off!
(9-4) Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots (11-2)

The biggest game of the weekend is an all-AFC East blockbuster between the Buffalo Bills and the New England Patriots! The New England Patriots enter Week 15 off the back of 10 straight wins and a Bye, and they currently lead the AFC East! As it stands, The Patriots occupy the AFC’s Number 2 seed! As for Buffalo, they picked up a much-needed win over the Cincinnati Bengals last time out, and they currently sit second in the AFC East! If the season ended today, The Bills would enter the Playoffs as the Number 6 seed! In the end, I’m backing The Patriots to seal the AFC East Title! A week off may hurt New England, but it might also help them overturn Buffalo’s recent dominance over this Division!
(3-10) Washington Commanders @ New York Giants (2-11)

From the best game to the worst game! The New York Giants enter Week 15 off the back of 7 losses and a Bye, and they currently sit last in the NFC East! As it stands, The Giants are the worst team in the entire NFC! As for Washington, they got decimated 31-0 by the Minnesota Vikings last time out, and they currently find themselves third in the NFC East! If the season ended today, The Commanders would end up as the second-worst team in the NFC! In the end, I think New York will win this game! Both teams suck, so let’s just say The Giants for a change!
(2-11) Las Vegas Raiders @ Philadelphia Eagles (8-5)

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a disappointing loss in Los Angeles (against The Chargers) Monday Night, but they do still currently lead the NFC East! As it stands, The Eagles occupy the NFC’s Number 3 seed! As for Las Vegas, they lost for the 7th-straight game against the Denver Broncos last time out, and they currently sit bottom of the AFC West! If the season ended today, The Raiders would be one of the 3 worst teams of the 2025 Season! In the end, Philly have to bounce back here! This should be relatively straightforward, but I never know with The Eagles anymore!
(3-10) New York Jets @ Jacksonville Jaguars (9-4)

The Jacksonville Jaguars picked up a massive win over the Indianapolis Colts last weekend, and they currently lead the AFC South! As it stands, The Jaguars own the AFC’s Number 3 seed! As for New York, they got thrashed by the Miami Dolphins last time out, and they currently sit last in the AFC East! If the season ended today, The Jets would be one of the worst teams of 2025! In the end, The Jags will win this game! What a great opportunity for Jacksonville to extend their winning run!
