It was a terrible Week 14 for us, as our NFL picks went 3-7 to run our yearly record on EatWatchPlay to 74-71. Let’s review the 11 questions below and see how we do in Week 15.
The winner gets 100 PLAYs, 2nd gets 50, 3rd gets 35, and anyone in the top 20% gets at least 5. Enjoy the NFL action and good luck to all!
Dolphins at Texans. Who wins?
This may be my favorite pick of the week, so take that for what it’s worth. Houston should be well-rested and fired up coming out of its bye-week. Miami’s defense has put up some impressive numbers but I foresee CJ Stroud making too many plays at home in this one. Give me Houston!
Dolphins +3
Texans +2
Cowboys at Panthers. Who wins?
I’m a lifelong Cowboys fan, so it pains me to pick against my favorite team. That said, I think Carolina is the right side in this spot. Bryce Young has been playing much better lately and the Cowboys may be a bit drained after their debacle of a loss on Monday Night Football.
Cowboys +3
Panthers +3
Bills at Lions. Who wins?
Man, I hate stepping in front of this Lions train, but this is a fantastic bounce-back spot for Buffalo. You just know that the Bills’ defense will be itching to get back on the field after their horrific performance against the Rams last week. Detroit has a ton of defensive injuries that could be troublesome for them in Week 15.
Bills+3
Lions +3
Bucs at Chargers. Who wins?
The Chargers came oh so close to knocking off the Chiefs last week on Sunday Night Football. That loss was rough on them, but Jim Harbaugh will have the troops refocused to face a tough Bucs squad. Give me Justin Herbert to get the job done over Baker Mayfield in a close one.
Bucs +3
Chargers +2
Packers at Seahawks. Who wins?
Seattle has burned me quite a few times this season, but I’m going to fade them again. As impressive as the Seahawks’ run has been, this is a huge step up in class for them against the Packers. I expect Josh Jacobs to give this Seattle defense all kinds of problems. Go Cheese-Heads!
Packers +2
Seahawks +3
Jets at Jaguars. Who wins?
Against my better judgment, I’m taking the Jets this week on the road. They actually outplayed the Dolphins last week but got taken down in overtime by Tua and Co. Aaron Rodgers looked really good in that outing and there’s no reason he can’t pick apart this very suspect Jags secondary.
Jets +2
Jaguars +4
Colts at Broncos. Who Wins?
I wanted to go with the upset here but they are calling for some bad weather in Denver this weekend, which clearly favors the home team. Indy may be from the north, but they are used to playing indoors at Lucas Oil Stadium. Give me Bo Nix and the boys to stay hot.
Colts +4
Broncos +1
Pick a player to score a touchdown:
I’m playing Malik Nabers in this spot. He is the lone bright spot on a Giants team that’s been a dumpster fire all season. Since New York is a huge underdog against Baltimore, they should be throwing the ball early and often. Nabers will find the end zone, even if it’s in garbage time.
Zay Flowers (+1)
Malik Nabers (+2)
Brandin Cooks (+3)
Curtis Samuel (+4)
None of These (+2)
Which TE gets the most receiving yards?
This is a talented group of tight ends, but I’ll roll with David Njoku of the Browns on Sunday. Kansas City is notorious for giving up big gainers to the tight end position, and Njoku is no stranger to running deep post routes over the middle. Look for him to outplay both Andrews and Engram.
Mark Andrews (+2)
Evan Engram (+2)
David Njoku (+2)
Which of these QBs will have the most passing yards?
I’m not a huge fan of backing rookie QBs but we’ll make an exception in this spot. Maye is looking more and more comfortable as the weeks go by and I think he’ll do some serious damage against this Cardinals secondary. Arizona ranks just 22nd in yards per pass allowed. New England should also be playing from behind, which should mean more passing attempts for Maye.
Aaron Rodgers (+2)
Kyler Murray (+2)
Drake Maye (+2)
