Another week, another very solid round of NFL picks and predictions. Although it wasn’t as good as our Week 13 predictions, you’ll take a 9-4 week anytime you can get it, especially with some of the upsets we projected. The biggest win of the week for our Week 14 NFL picks and predictions was definitely calling the Carolina Panthers to come away from Seattle victorious against the Seahawks.
The biggest whiff of the week ended up being predicting Tom Brady to go into San Francisco and beat the 49ers, which didn’t even come close to happening. How many times will we be fooled this season into picking the Brady-led Bucs as though they are the 2020 or even 2021 iteration? At any rate, every NFL team is off of a bye week this week. For fantasy football players out there, be warned that this week includes a whopping four games being played before Sunday, including three on Saturday.
Without any further ado, let’s get to our NFL picks and predictions for a loaded Week 15 schedule.
2022 NFL picks and score predictions for Week 15 schedule
San Francisco 49ers (9-4) at Seattle Seahawks (7-6)
Thursday, December 15, 8:15 PM ET
If we’ve learned anything through 13 games for the San Francisco 49ers, it’s to stop doubting DeMeco Ryans’ defense. My goodness, these guys.
At this point, the 49ers are averaging a nine-point victory per week with the NFL’s 8th-ranked offense averaging over 24 points per game and the defense allowing just a hair over 15 points per contest. The 49ers are getting things done regardless of who is playing quarterback, as well. Kyle Shanahan’s ability to maximize the quarterback position is very well-documented at this point, but we’ve reached a new height with this year’s Mr. Irrelevant destroying the 7-time Super Bowl champion Brady, who is famously known as the biggest NFL Draft steal of all-time.
The Brock Purdy-led 49ers whooped the Bucs to the tune of 35-7, forcing three turnovers to make it 2+ turnovers forced in four consecutive games. The 49ers have forced 12 turnovers in five games since their bye week, and have three games with 10 or fewer points allowed in that stretch.
That’s not good news for the Seattle Seahawks, who had been one of the NFL’s best stories in 2022 and are now potentially going to be on the outside looking in of the 2022 playoff picture. Seattle, playing at home, is fresh off of a loss to the Carolina Panthers.
I picked the Bucs over the 49ers last week, assuming there would be a dropoff with a full game of Brock Purdy at QB, but there wasn’t. The 49ers scored 35 points and their defense is good enough to win them games even if Purdy doesn’t play well.
Prediction: 49ers win 27-23
Indianapolis Colts (4-8-1) at Minnesota Vikings (10-3)
Saturday, December 17, 1:00 PM ET
It’s hard to play better than Kirk Cousins did this past weekend and still lose in today’s NFL. Unfortunately for the Minnesota Vikings, it appears as though the Detroit Lions are a team of destiny, and there was nothing they could do but get in the way this past week.
How good was Cousins against Detroit?
- 75.6 completion rate
- 124.5 QB rating (season-high)
- 425 yards (season-high)
- 2 TD, 0 INT
- 10.37 yards per attempt (season-high)
Again, it’s tough to play that well and lose a game in today’s NFL, but the Lions are just playing that great on offense right now.
The Vikings should be considered heavy favorites this week going up against Jeff Saturday’s Indianapolis Colts. They get to play at home again, and the Colts aren’t exactly hopeless but this is a team that Minnesota should be able to outscore relatively easily. The Colts are averaging 16.1 points per game this year and despite a rather odd signature win (the Colts beat the Chiefs, remember) I don’t think the Vikings have much to worry about going into this one.
Kirk Cousins and the Vikings passing attack have been a bit erratic in the second half of the season at least in terms of Cousins’ efficiency out there but coming off of a game like we saw against Detroit, how could we expect anything but a Vikings win, especially playing in front of the home fans?
We start off the Saturday NFL picks with a Vikings win.
Prediction: Vikings win 30-16
Baltimore Ravens (9-4) at Cleveland Browns (5-8)
Saturday, December 17, 4:30 PM ET
You’ve got to give John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens a lot of credit. They “win ugly” more than just about any team in the NFL this season, but they are 9-4 and remain firmly in the mix for the AFC North with the reigning AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals. The Ravens just won another grinder this past weekend with Lamar Jackson on the shelf, and given the nature of Jackson’s injury, it’s really tough to know when we can expect him back.
For NFL picks and predictions purposes, I’m not sure it really matters for this kind of matchup. The Ravens and Browns meeting late in the season, two teams that love to run the ball? This is shaping up to be another low-scoring game no matter what, isn’t it?
I don’t know that the Browns playing at home really matters a whole lot in this kind of a matchup. Both teams are used to playing low-scoring games, and both teams know they’re going to need to come up with some huge defensive plays to win.
The main difference here for NFL picks is not knowing whether or not Lamar Jackson is going to play. If he does play, I think the Ravens are an easy pick to make. Even if he doesn’t play, I’ve bet against the Ravens enough this season to know that this team is probably going to go into Cleveland and get a win.
With that being said, I’m actually going to go against the grain a bit here. The Cleveland Browns uncharacteristically ran for just 71 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals and I think we see Nick Chubb and company bounce back this week against the Ravens.
Playing the role of spoiler as the Cincinnati Bengals look for separation in the AFC North, I’m taking the Browns to come up with an upset win this weekend on their home field, improving to 2-1 with Deshaun Watson at QB.
Prediction: Browns win 23-20
Miami Dolphins (8-5) at Buffalo Bills (10-3)
Saturday, December 17, 8:15 PM ET
Over the last two weeks, the Miami Dolphins have pretty much given up their chances of dethroning the Buffalo Bills as AFC East champions this season. They’re probably not in danger of missing out on the playoffs, but Tua Tagovailoa simply cannot play the way we’ve seen the last two weeks if this team is going to be relevant in January and February.
A trip up into the elements of Buffalo will give the Dolphins yet another great test this season, but there’s no question that Tagovailoa has to play better.
Tua Tagovailoa in Week 14 loss to Chargers
- 10-of-28 passing (under 36 percent)
- 145 yards
- 1 TD
Completing just 10 passes out of 28 attempts is horrific, but thankfully for the Dolphins in 2022, it’s uncharacteristic of the way Tagovailoa has played. There has been much more MVP chatter than “wow Tua is bad” chatter.
Coming off of two straight losses and going into Buffalo is not exactly a prescription for a bounce-back, either. The Bills have won four in a row and are kind of rolling these days. Although the Bills got some terrible news that they’ll be without Von Miller for their playoff run, they’re proving that they can win with less than 250 passing yards from Josh Allen. The last time he eclipsed 250 passing yards was in the team’s overtime loss to the Vikings a month ago.
But we all know the Bills are fully capable of winning a shootout if that ends up happening as well. As much as the Dolphins need to bounce back, I’m taking the Bills at home here with the way Tua has played the last two weeks.
Prediction: Bills win 28-24
Philadelphia Eagles (12-1) at Chicago Bears (3-10)
Sunday, December 18, 1:00 PM ET
At this point, does “well-oiled machine” even begin to cover it when talking about the Philadelphia Eagles? This team is simply the best in the NFL right now. Over the course of the 2022 season, we’ve seen the Eagles’ dominance take on a variety of forms. This team has been dominant as a passing team, running team, defensively, and they do it consistently in every phase.
Jalen Hurts looks like the league MVP. He’s got 32 total touchdowns this season and only three interceptions. For those who remember watching Hurts get replaced in the National Championship game in favor of a freshman Tua Tagovailoa a few years back, isn’t it crazy to see how far he’s come?
It’s actually one of the more awesome developments in recent NFL history. Hurts was an afterthought (relatively speaking) in the vaunted 2020 quarterback class which is looking fantastic in hindsight. A second-round pick after transferring to Oklahoma for a season, Hurts has developed into one of the league’s smartest, most dynamic, most accurate quarterbacks.
This Sunday, he’ll take on a rising star in Justin Fields who has had his share of ups and downs as a rookie. Although there have been moments of brilliance with Fields, his second year in the NFL feels like what a typical rookie year for a quarterback should feel like. In Fields’ actual rookie year, the dysfunction of the Bears sort of excused his extremely poor play.
In year two, nobody really knew what to expect from the Bears but Fields has given the Chicago fan base hope that something like what we’re seeing with Hurts in Philly could be possible for them in the relatively near future.
On Sunday however, even with the Bears playing at home, you can expect the Eagles to show once again why they are going to be the favorites to represent the NFC in this year’s Super Bowl. This team is simply too good for Chicago to keep up with unless Justin Fields puts forth a miraculous performance.
Prediction: Eagles win 33-23
Atlanta Falcons (5-8) at New Orleans Saints (4-9)
Sunday, December 18, 1:00 PM ET
Looking at this matchup a week ago, the intrigue simply wasn’t there. These two teams are playing in one of the worst divisions in football this year — the NFC South — so believe it or not, there are actually some potential playoff implications for the winner here.
Let’s take a look at the dismal NFC South for the moment.
NFC South standings in Week 15
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7)
- Carolina Panthers (5-8)
- Atlanta Falcons (5-8)
- New Orleans Saints (4-9)
Believe it or not, both of these teams have a lot to play for still, especially so when you consider the fact that the Bengals have a matchup this coming week against the Cincinnati Bengals, who are firing on all cylinders at the moment.
If some team is going to back into the playoffs in the NFC South, the Falcons and Saints have to go into this week wondering — why not us?
The jolt of intrigue I mentioned previously actually has nothing to do with the playoff implications of a bad division, but everything to do with the change the Falcons made at the quarterback position. They are going to start rookie Desmond Ridder in this game against the Saints and that’s going to, at the very least, be fun to see. Ridder showed some really nice things in the preseason for the Falcons and although this is an entirely different beast, you can’t help but like the timing of it, giving Ridder the bye week to prep for New Orleans.
I think the Falcons’ offense will be dynamic with Ridder under center. Sometimes these things take a couple of weeks to get going, but with the way Arthur Smith’s offense has performed at times this season, don’t be shocked if the Falcons come out and put up some points against the Saints with Ridder under center.
Prediction: Falcons win 24-23
Detroit Lions (6-7) at New York Jets (7-6)
Sunday, December 18, 1:00 PM ET
The Detroit Lions are just about everyone’s honorary favorite NFL team in 2022. At the very least, the Lions have become one of the most interesting teams in the NFL this season, and it all started with an exceptional and aggressive offseason in 2022.
The Lions became even more beloved on HBO’s Hard Knocks and the NFL world has been loving the fact that this team is slowly (but surely) rising from the ashes.
Detroit Lions 2022 offensive numbers
- 26.8 points per game (5th in NFL)
- 7th in passing yards
- 11th in rushing yards
- 9th in 3rd down conversion rate
- 1st in Red Zone conversion rate
That’s right — the Detroit Lions are the NFL’s best red zone offense in 2022.
If that doesn’t get Ben Johnson some head coach looks in the offseason, I don’t know what will. Detroit’s ascent as an offensive juggernaut is nothing short of shocking or miraculous. We’ll see what happens this coming weekend when the league’s best red zone attack meets Robert Saleh’s 5th-ranked scoring defense.
How many pass interference penalties will Sauce Gardner get away with this week?
All kidding aside, the addition of Gardner to the Jets’ defense has been humongous and it’s had a reciprocal effect on other players in that unit. Saleh has that group playing well every week, regardless of what the offense is able to do in support.
This game is shaping up to be one of the most interesting of the week. I think picking the Lions is extremely en-vogue bordering on cliché at this point but thinking about this game, I’m having a really tough time coming up with any reason to pick the Jets. They are playing at home, they are somewhat “due”, but Mike White is banged up and Detroit’s offense can beat you in a variety of ways.
Prediction: Lions win 27-20
Pittsburgh Steelers (5-8) at Carolina Panthers (5-8)
Sunday, December 18, 1:00 PM ET
Especially in hindsight, it seems like the entire NFL world could tell that Matt Rhule had one foot in the door of college football and one foot in his job with the Carolina Panthers. Rhule went into the 2022 NFL season on the hot seat, and he was one of the first head coaches to be fired.
Since Rhule has gone on to cornier things in Nebraska, Steve Wilks has been doing an outstanding job as the interim head coach and is starting to make his case for a longer-term position there. The Panthers really came through for me last week as my upset pick of the week against the Seattle Seahawks, somehow managing to score a whopping 30 points despite having just 105 total passing yards in the game.
The Panthers have won three of their last four games. They would have won five of their last seven were it not for DJ Moore ripping off his helmet after a miraculous touchdown grab against the Falcons, causing the extra point to be backed up and missed (among other factors leading to the Panthers missing out on stealing a win there).
To put it plainly, the Panthers are playing pretty good football these days. It might not be overly pretty, but they have given themselves a shot to make the playoffs despite all of the craziness that they’ve endured this year. Which again speaks to the job being done by Steve Wilks.
The Steelers have been hot and cold since their bye week. They have won three of their last five, but they’re coming off of an ugly loss to the Ravens this past week in which the offense turned the ball over three times. Those three turnovers all came courtesy of Mitch Trubisky, who had to come in after Kenny Pickett got absolutely slammed into the ground and entered concussion protocol.
Could we be getting Trubisky vs. Sam Darnold this week?
My goodness.
Ultimately, I think I’m riding with the Panthers this week, although that could come back to bite me.
Prediction: Panthers win 20-17
Dallas Cowboys (10-3) at Jacksonville Jaguars (5-8)
Sunday, December 18, 1:00 PM ET
The Dallas Cowboys, after a string of dominant performances, struggled badly to beat the Houston Texans on Sunday.
It’s “any given Sunday” for a reason, right?
The Cowboys’ struggle with Houston was very unexpected considering they had dropped 150 total points in the four games after their bye week leading up to Sunday’s matchup against Houston. Although the Cowboys struggled, they prevailed, and that’s all that really matters. They improved to 10-3 thanks to a late touchdown from Zeke Elliott to put them ahead 27-23, which would end up being the final score.
The Cowboys’ defense forced a pair of turnovers in this game but Dak Prescott was a little reckless with the ball and Dallas turned it over three times. Prescott threw two picks and had a fumble in this game, and Dallas flirting with disaster has perhaps paved the way for my upset pick of the week.
Jacksonville, playing at home, might have a little something cooking here. They have won three out of their last five games, and during this recent stretch of five games, Trevor Lawrence has found his stride.
https://twitter.com/PFF/status/1602355098990133249
Lawrence is really making progress under Doug Pederson and his staff this season, but is it enough to believe that the 5-8 Jaguars can beat the Dallas Cowboys who boast the third-ranked offense and third-ranked defense in the entire NFL?
Maybe.
I’ve been on the Cowboys bandwagon all season long, but after flirting with disaster this past week, I’m going to go ahead and say that Trevor Lawrence wins a bit of a shootout here with the Cowboys.
Prediction: Jaguars win 30-28 (Upset Pick of the Week)
Kansas City Chiefs (10-3) at Houston Texans (1-11-1)
Sunday, December 18, 1:00 PM ET
The Kansas City Chiefs survived a pretty unexpected scare from the Denver Broncos this past weekend, thanks to some heroics from Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs defense.
Although Mahomes threw three interceptions in the Chiefs’ win against Denver, he also made some of the most miraculous plays we’ve seen from him this year. On one of the Chiefs’ early touchdowns, Mahomes was rolling to his right with heavy pressure, and just before he ran out of bounds, he sort of just flipped the ball underhand to Jerick McKinnon who caught the floater from Mahomes and took it in for a score.
The Mahomes magic.
As the Broncos mounted an incredible comeback after being down 27-0, Mahomes put the Chiefs on the board again in the second half with a touchdown throw to JuJu Smith-Schuster when he seemingly had the whole Denver defense draped all over him.
In many ways, it was still a vintage performance from Mahomes in this one even if he did throw three interceptions. The Chiefs were still able to score 34 points (27 by the offense) against one of the toughest defenses in the league.
The Houston Texans did give the Dallas Cowboys a scare this past weekend, but even playing at home, do we expect something weird to happen here against Kansas City? That’s not overly likely, although you never know in this weird NFL season.
This might be a Chad Henne kind of game at some point for KC.
Prediction: Chiefs win 37-17
Arizona Cardinals (4-9) at Denver Broncos (3-10)
Sunday, December 18, 4:05 PM ET
For the first time pretty much all season, we saw Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson “cooking” in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Broncos were down 27-0 against Kansas City as the offense failed to get really anything going in the first two quarters when an interception by Josey Jewell near the end of the first half set the Broncos’ comeback attempt in motion. Wilson found Jerry Jeudy for a pair of touchdowns before the end of the half, and came out with a perfect blitz-beating screen to Marlon Mack in the third quarter to help the Broncos score 21 unanswered points.
Wilson then drove the Broncos down the field once again later in the game and on a 3rd-and-11 inside the red zone, he took off running and picked up a first down, but he paid the price. Wilson got hit hard from behind by Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark, and wound up leaving the game with a concussion.
That play set up the Broncos for their fourth touchdown of the game but it also has Wilson’s status for Week 15 in jeopardy. Was that game against Kansas City a sign of things to come for Wilson? Even though the Broncos ultimately lost, the signs of life from the offense were like an oasis in the desert to Broncos Country.
Speaking of the desert, the Broncos are welcoming the Arizona Cardinals to town this week in a battle of two teams who have failed — miserably so — to live up to expectations in 2022.
If Wilson doesn’t play, what kind of a chance does Brett Rypien have in this game? Can Denver’s defense lift this team once again?
Although it may be a long shot, these are two pretty bad teams this season and the Broncos are playing at home. You could flip a coin for this game if Rypien plays, but if Wilson is playing, I think it’s a decent bet to go with the Broncos in this week’s NFL picks.
Prediction: Broncos win 24-16
New England Patriots (7-6) at Las Vegas Raiders (5-8)
Sunday, December 18, 4:05 PM ET
The Las Vegas Raiders are among the most disappointing teams in the NFL this season. Unfortunately for them, the “what could have been” category has grown to a painful point this season.
The Raiders have let a number of leads slip away this season, including their most recent loss at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams last Thursday night. The Raiders held a 16-3 lead late in the fourth quarter of that game before giving way to Baker Mayfield’s heroics.
Raiders fans undoubtedly lost some sleep over it.
Las Vegas Raiders blown leads in 2022
- +20 vs. Cardinals
- + 17 vs. Jaguars
- + 17 vs. Chiefs
- + 13 vs. Rams
Just imagine if the Raiders could have held onto those leads…We might just be talking about one of the best teams in the AFC right now. Instead, we’re talking about one of it’s biggest letdowns and people are talking about Raiders ownership firing Josh McDaniels.
McDaniels will get another shot at Bill Belichick just as he did in his rookie season as a head coach for the Denver Broncos back in 2009. The question is, will the apprentice be able to beat the master for a second time?
The way the Raiders have played lately, it’s almost impossible to know. The Patriots haven’t exactly been a model of consistency this season, especially offensively, but I think Bill Belichick is going to beat McDaniels in this meeting of the minds.
Prediction: Patriots win 21-17
Tennessee Titans (7-6) at Los Angeles Chargers (7-6)
Sunday, December 18, 4:25 PM ET
In this battle of 7-6 teams, one is definitely not like the other.
The Los Angeles Chargers and Tennessee Titans are both jockeying for playoff positioning in very different ways right now. The Titans, who recently fired GM Jon Robinson, are slightly reeling right now and are on the cusp of allowing the Jacksonville Jaguars to burst through the proverbial door in the AFC South. As the Titans cling to their lead in the AFC South, which is diminishing by the week, the Chargers are amidst a very different battle.
There’s no shot the Chargers are winning the AFC West this year with how Kansas City has played, but there is a shot for them to make it as a Wild Card in the AFC, and it would (shockingly) be the first time in Justin Herbert’s three NFL seasons that he will have made the playoffs if they can pull it off.
With Mike Williams back in the fold, Justin Herbert now has his full arsenal of weapons offensively. The Chargers have been known for collapsing even dating back to the Philip Rivers era but this team has been winning some close games this year whereas, in the past, they were known for fourth-quarter collapses.
I think in this particular matchup, we can expect the Chargers to continue building toward making a legitimate playoff run. The NFL needs Justin Herbert in the playoffs. The NFL also needs Trevor Lawrence in the playoffs. What are the odds of both happening?
They maybe aren’t very good at this point, but the Chargers can help the case for both this weekend with a win at home against Mike Vrabel’s squad.
Prediction: Chargers win 30-20
Cincinnati Bengals (9-4) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7)
Sunday, December 18, 4:25 PM ET
Coming out of LSU in 2020, there were a lot of trepidatious comparisons made between Joe Burrow and Tom Brady. Although Burrow is a better overall athlete, his ability to navigate the pocket and put the ball wherever he wanted to on a dime at LSU had people thinking that the no. 1 overall pick and Heisman winner could have a similar game at the pro level to what we’ve seen from Brady.
Burrow has certainly had his share of success at the NFL level and almost did what Brady did early on in his career, winning a Super Bowl in year two. Unfortunately for Burrow, that didn’t happen and the Bengals fell a bit short. But, here in 2022, Cincinnati’s got a shot to get back to the Super Bowl as they’ve proven to be the Kryptonite to Kansas City’s Superman, and the defense being coached by Lou Anarumo is firing on all cylinders at the moment.
That’s bad news for Brady, the QB counterpart to Burrow in this particular outing. The Bengals — who have only lost two games since the beginning of October — will take their show on the road to see if they can’t win their sixth straight game against Brady and the Bucs.
Things have reached a low point for Brady and the Bucs as of this past weekend. Playing in San Francisco against Brock Purdy and the top-ranked 49ers defense, the Bucs walked the plank. They were absolutely destroyed to the tune of 35-7 and it doesn’t look like this team has much of a chance of doing anything even if they are able to reach the postseason in 2022.
The NFC South is terrible this year, but the Bucs lead it with a record of 6-7. They still can’t afford to be giving away many games because the Panthers are nipping at their heels, shockingly enough.
I wish I had the confidence that Brady could just pull out a 30-point game in a shootout like he is usually able to, but that isn’t the reality for this Bucs team in 2022.
The Bengals certainly can’t overlook the Bucs here, and I don’t think they will. I think this will be a hard-fought game on the part of Tampa Bay, but ultimately, I just don’t view that team as good enough to keep up with Cincinnati right now over four quarters.
Prediction: Bengals win 27-24
New York Giants (7-5-1) at Washington Commanders (7-5-1)
Sunday, December 18, 8:20 PM ET
Two NFC East teams head into Week 15 action with identical records, and keeping in theme with how unexpected the 2022 NFL season has been, isn’t it just a little bit shocking that this week’s Giants and Commanders tilt is only for third place in the NFC East?
That’s how good the East has been this season with the Eagles obviously in the lead at 12-1 and Dallas not far behind at 10-3. The Commanders and Giants have each shown some serious resilience this season, winning seven games and tying just a couple of weeks back.
This game is massive for both of these squads, although if the season ended today, they would both be in the playoffs so that tie a few weeks ago could come in handy in a month.
For this matchup, what should we expect? I think we can expect a defensive battle and a potentially low-scoring one, at that.
The New York Giants started this season a shocking 7-2, but they haven’t won since their November 13 victory against the Houston Texans. It’s been a bad month for the Giants, but at least they tied against the Commanders on December 4 to somewhat preserve their playoff chances.
I think this time around against the Commanders is a virtual toss-up in terms of NFL picks. I don’t know which way to lean simply because I have no idea what the Commanders are going to get week-to-week from Taylor Heinicke, and whether that will be enough. Or is Carson Wentz going to play in this game? He was activated off IR on Monday.
I will say this — as impressive as Brian Daboll has been this season coaching Daniel Jones and the Giants offense, I have very little confidence in that group to go on the road and win a big matchup like this. New York’s offense is averaging 20 points per game since that win against the Texans, and I’m banking on more of the same this weekend.
Prediction: Commanders win 23-20
Los Angeles Rams (4-9) at Green Bay Packers (5-8)
Monday, December 19, 8:15 PM ET
What a finish last Thursday night, eh?
I will admit, I didn’t give the Los Angeles Rams any chance of winning against the Las Vegas Raiders last week for a few reasons.
- The Rams hadn’t claimed Baker Mayfield at the time NFL picks were written up
- The Rams were supposed to be starting John Wolford
- The Raiders were kind of hot, to be honest
Regardless of the coaching jobs Sean McVay has done in the past, I think people expected the Rams to lose on Thursday — playing at home — regardless of what kind of snaps Baker Mayfield would get. The Rams turned to Baker early and the offense only put up three points until late in the fourth quarter.
The Raiders’ epic collapse paved way for one of the great moments of Baker Mayfield’s young career to this point. It had to feel good for the former no. 1 overall pick to come back and put together the drive he did late against Las Vegas. Can that production happen over the course of four quarters in Green Bay against the Packers?
The Packers’ offense has turned things up since an embarrassing loss to start off the month of November against the Detroit Lions. They have scored 28 or more points in three out of their last four games. Although the Baker Mayfield story on TNF was great last week, I’m going with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers here to close out Week 15.
Although this is one of the more meaningless NFL picks of the week in terms of playoff implications, a win at least keeps the Packers in the conversation.
Prediction: Packers win 30-24
