We have a heavyweight bout between Super Bowl contenders in Denver and Green Bay.

Then there are the Carolina Panthers looking to take control of the NFC South with a win agains their rivals. And finally the soaring Seahawks are out to pour a bowl of freezing cold water on the ultimate heart-warming comeback story: Philip Rivers’ return to save the Colts. I can’t do the legend justice so enjoy his words on a shock return to the NFL …
“No Zoom! Let’s GO!”
Preamble
Hello football family, it is week 15 and what a treat the NFL has in store. It is quite simply the best early and late Sunday slates yet this year with heavy hitter after heavy hitter on the schedule. And we have the pleasure of being able to share every pick, every sack and hopefully even a few touchdowns together starting with eight matches at 12pm CST/1pm EST/6pm GMT (home teams listed first):
-
(9-4) Chicago Bears v Cleveland Browns (3-10)
-
(4-9) Cincinnati Bengals v Baltimore Ravens (6-7)
-
(8-5) Houston Texans v Arizona Cardinals (3-10)
-
(9-4) Jacksonville Jaguars v New York Jets (3-10)
-
(6-7) Kansas City Chiefs v Los Angeles Chargers (9-4)
-
(11-2) New England Patriots v Buffalo Bills (9-4)
-
(2-11) New York Giants v Washington Commanders (3-10)
-
(8-5) Philadelphia Eagles v Las Vegas Raiders (2-11)
The pick of this litter is New England v Buffalo. The Patriots can wrap up the AFC East with a win and keep pressure on Denver for the No 1 seed while Buffalo could still claim the division crown from the Pats if they win today. A real prove it game for hot shot QB Drake Maye going up against the reigning MVP Josh Allen. You can read more about the keys to victory here …
Elsewhere, Kansas City are playing for their postseason lives against their AFC West rival LA Chargers. Baltimore need a big bounce back against Cincinnati’s explosive offense to avoid slipping further in the AFC North and Philadelphia, up against Las Vegas, will be desperately seeking some life on offense to avoid their season unravelling and a fourth defeat in succession. Then there are the Texans, Jaguars and Bears out to keep chugging along to January football with a quiet, composed victory against a weak opponent. Maybe there’s a bump in the road speeding into view? Let’s find out.
