Daniel Collins’ Week 15 NFL Pick

Adam Thielen o50.5 Receiving Yards (-110) BetOnline

Let’s start week 15 off with one of the hottest connections in the NFL right now, QB Bryce Young and WR Adam Thielen. The Panthers, while eliminated from playoff contention, have been playing really good football, especially offensively, the last 6 weeks.

Thielen has been a major reason for that offensive flourish, leading the team in targets the last 2 games, racking up 10+ targets  2 weeks in a row.

I expect those numbers to continue today against the Cowboys and their very underwhelming defense. The Cowboys are bottom 10 in the NFL in receiving yards allowed to wide receivers, allowing about 155 yards.

I am going to ride the hot hands here and back the savvy vet to continue to build even more chemistry with Young and create splash plays in this up and coming offense.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Thielen racks up 100 yards and a touchdown as well. Might be worth a sprinkle 😉

Nate Hornung’s Week 15 NFL Pick

Best Bets: Chiefs 1H TT Over 12.5 (-110) Bovada*

You can call this a homer pick if you want, but this line is far too low in this spot.

The Browns defense… is not good. They have been in year’s past, but those days are over. Cleveland gives up 13.5 points per first half this season putting them in the bottom four of the NFL. They certainly know how to make adjustments, as their numbers improve in the 2nd half, but they are allowing TDs on 80% of Red Zone trips to their visiting opponents this year. To me, that sounds like the Chiefs taking advantage and finishing some drives in the promised land.

Kansas City is a Top 10 team in 1H points per game, scoring 12.8 over the season, with those numbers increasing to 14.2 on the road and 14.3 over their past 3 games. However, they drop out of the Top 20 in PPG in the 2nd half. The Chiefs are 2nd in the NFL in time of possession early, and they’ve cleared this number in 3 of their L4 games.

It’s time for this team to come out alive and put a team in the grave early. In preparation for hosting Houston next Saturday, I trust the Chiefs to come out firing on all cylinders early on Sunday.

*As always, line shop, because 10.5 may be out there floating around.

Colby Marchio’s Week 15 NFL Pick

Best Bet: Denver Broncos -4 (-110) BetOnline

Despite both teams riding a bit of luck in their previous wins, I lean toward the home team in this matchup. The Colts squeaked out a one-point victory over New England, despite being outgained by nearly 200 total yards. They were outplayed in every major statistical category except one: red zone efficiency. The Patriots struggled, going 2-for-6 in the red zone, while the Colts capitalized, converting 3-of-4 opportunities. Meanwhile, the Broncos benefitted from two pick-sixes off Browns quarterback Jameis Winston to secure their win.

Regardless of who had the uglier win, the Broncos are the better team in this matchup. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, while showing flashes, is still too raw to trust, especially against a Denver defense that excels at stopping the run. Denver ranks fifth in rush yards allowed per game, holding opponents under 100 yards on the ground. This forces Richardson into a passing game where he has struggled, throwing for over 200 yards in only three of his nine games this season. At home, the Broncos defense allows fewer than 230 passing yards per game and should be ready to handle a Colts offense with limited weapons.

If the Broncos offense can exploit an Indianapolis secondary ranked 26th in pass yards allowed and a rush defense ranked second-to-last, they should have no trouble covering the spread. Bo Nix looks like the offensive rookie of the year, while Richardson is still finding his footing in the league. I will gladly take the better quarterback and defense to win and cover on Sunday.

Varun Sharma’s Week 15 NFL Pick

Best Bet: De’Von Achane Anytime Touchdown (+105)

De’Von Achane has been one of the lone bright spots for the Miami Dolphins this year. Achane is averaging 85 yards per game from scrimmage, he’s scored 10 total touchdowns, 4.8 receptions per game and he’s scored 10 total touchdowns.

This year the Dolphins have had their ups and downs, mainly due to injuries but the one man that has been stellar all year, is De’Von Achane. Achane’s got no quit in him, he’s finished with 5 or more receptions in 5 of Miami’s L7 games and with this Houston pass rush, I love this spot even more.

The Texans rank 2nd in sacks this year, 11th in QB hurries and 9th in QB hits. With the added preassure, look for Tua to target those check downs just a few extra times this week.

Achane has been great both catching the ball and running the ball this year. He’s averaging just over 5 yards per touch this year and 6 of his 10 touchdowns this year have come through the air. Achane has been one of the Dolphins secret weapons over the last two seasons, but guess what? Secret’s out.

Give me Achane to get into the end zone this week.

Brad Blakemore’s Week 15 NFL Pick

Best Bet: Courtland Sutton o71.5 Receiving Yards (-110)

Bo Nix has been something. What felt like a team making a desperate pick in the draft to fill their greatest positional need is beginning to look like the steal of the draft. He has been a revelation not only for Broncos’ fans but for their offensive weapons. Especially Courtland Sutton.

Sutton has had some down years. He has had to battle injury and bad quarterback play. But with by Week 8 Sutton and Bo Nix began to find chemistry and haven’t looked back. Since then Sutton has averaged 94.8 receiving yards per game. He is also Nix’s top target averaging 7 receptions per game (his receptions prop is o5.5 at -128 and also looks tasty).

Today he gets a weak Titans team (sorry SPJ). Their secondary allow the 26th most passing yards in the league which means Bo could cook. The Bronco’s are fighting to hold a playoff spot, which would be the cherry on top for a fantastic rookie year for Bo Nix and a phenomenal bounce back for Sutton.

Sukh Brar’s Week 15 NFL Pick

Tampa Bay Buccaneers ML (+125)

The Buccaneers go on the road to face another team trying to secure their playoff spot. A loss for either team would dampen their hopes. This spot isn’t overly analytical. I am backing my team on the road. This team is impressive through the air and on the ground. If the defence can take care of the other side of the ball then the Bucs should win. The Chargers defence is staunch so Liam Coen has his work cut out for him but I do believe. The backfield shares touches and Baker diversifies with his receivers. Buc’kle up, baby.
