The biggest game on the NFL’s Week 15 slate? The Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans, fighting for first place in the AFC South.
New York Jets at Baltimore Ravens (-15)
Lamar Jackson is going to light up the Jets (5-8) on Thursday night. The Ravens (11-2) know a pair of wins over the final three weeks clinches home-field advantage, and this will be the first of them.
Pick: Baltimore 30, New York 16
Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers (-4.5)
The Packers (10-3) have quietly been struggling for some time. The offense doesn’t look right, while Aaron Rodgers is missing easy targets while staring downfield for the big play. The Bears (7-6) are fighting for any shred of playoff hope, but ultimately, Green Bay is both at home and better.
Pick: Green Bay 20, Chicago 17
Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs (-10)
Is Drew Lock the answer for the Broncos (5-8) moving forward? Perhaps, but this is a tough spot. The Chiefs (9-4) are rolling after winning in Foxborough, and now they come home. Also, Andy Reid never loses divisional games. Look for Kansas City to handle business.
Pick: Kansas City 29, Denver 19
Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans (-3)
First place for the AFC South is there to be taken. The Titans (8-5) are on fire. The Texans (8-50 were playing well and then loss handily at home to Denver. Tennessee is the team to beat in the South right now, so take Ryan Tannehill and don’t think twice.
Pick: Tennessee 31, Houston 23
