NFL Week 15 Betting Picks

Key divisional matchups highlight the schedule for NFL Week 15 with three teams poised to clinch AFC division titles. The AFC Wild Card race remains close with eight teams in the hunt, while the race for all four NFC divisional titles is still far from decided. Underdogs went 8-8 ATS in Week 14, while winning five games outright. Here is a sneak peek at some of the top NFL betting picks for Week 15.

Green Bay Packers @ Buffalo Bills

Game Line: Green Bay -5 | OU 50.5

The 10-3 Packers scored 40+ points for the fifth time in their last nine games in a 43-37 win over Atlanta on Monday. While Green Bay has had no trouble scoring points, they are winless ATS this season when favored by seven or more points on the NFL betting lines, and 0-2 ATS in their last two road games, both against teams with losing records.

The 7-6 Bills must win to salvage their slim playoff hopes following a 24-17 loss in Denver, but they extended their ATS win streak to three. The total has finished UNDER in Buffalo’s last five, but they will need a big day from their fifth-ranked pass defense to slow down Packers QB Aaron Rodgers.

Free Pick: Take Buffalo and the points. Green Bay 24-21

Oakland Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs

Game Line: Kansas City -10 | OU 41.5

The 7-6 Chiefs have lost three straight, SU and ATS, leaving their Wild Card hopes on life support. The Chiefs have tallied more than 300 total yards twice in their last five games and have averaged just 16.7 points per game in their last three.

The 2-11 Raiders are riding high following a strong 24-13 win in San Francisco. The win is their second in their last three following their 24-20 upset of the Chiefs in Week 12. The Raiders have consistently defied the NFL betting odds in road games this season, going 4-2 ATS, and are 6-1 ATS as underdogs of more than seven points, including both their SU wins in which they held opponents to fewer than 100 yards on the ground.

Free Pick: Take Oakland and the points. Oakland 21-19

Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts

Game Line: Indianapolis -7 | OU 49

The 9-4 Colts can clinch the AFC South with a win over the 7-6 Texans, but will have their hands full with a resurgent Texans offense that has scored 72 total points in their last two outings. The Colts have surrendered 27+ points in three of their last six, but as long as QB Andrew Luck continues his aerial exploits, Indy is happy to engage in shootouts.

The Texans dropped a 33-28 decision to Indy at home in Week 6, and while they are 3-0 SU in their last three road contests and 4-2 SU in their last six overall, they have struggled against clubs with winning records, going 1-5 SU and 2-4 ATS in their last six, and are 1-5 SU and 2-4 ATS as underdogs in NFL online betting this season.

Free Pick: Take Indianapolis and give the points. Indianapolis 32-21

Arizona Cardinals @ St. Louis Rams

Game Line: St. Louis -3.5 | OU 40

The 10-3 Arizona Cardinals rebounded last weekend from a two-game SU and ATS losing streak with a 17-14 upset win over Kansas City. The Cards’ offense has struggled without injured QB Carson Palmer, but with Drew Stanton looking more comfortable as Palmer’s replacement and rookie RB Kerwynn Williams invigorating Zona’s moribund ground game, the Cards’ imminent collapse has been postponed by at least a week.

The 6-7 Rams have been a second-half surprise, going 5-3 SU and 6-2 ATS on the NFL betting lines in their last eight games. St. Louis has posted back-to-back shutouts, but will struggle to play the minute-munching possession game against Arizona that worked so effectively last weekend against the hapless Washington Redskins.

Free Pick: Take Arizona and the points. Arizona 21-17

Denver Broncos @ San Diego Chargers

Game Line: Denver -4 | OU 50.5

The 10-3 Broncos can clinch top spot in the AFC West with a win over the 8-5 Chargers. Denver has won three straight, but has been an unreliable bet of late, going 2-4 ATS in their last six, and just 3-3 ATS in six road contests this season. Denver QB Peyton Manning has thrown for under 200 yards in each of his last two games, a first since 2001, and failed to throw a TD while tossing two picks against Buffalo last week.

The Chargers have won three of their last four, but are 1-7 ATS on the NFL betting lines in their last eight. The Chargers’ eighth-ranked pass defense proved effective during their recent three-win stretch, holding opposing passers to an average of 199 yards per game, and will be poised to take advantage if Manning continues to struggle.

Free Pick: Take San Diego and the points. San Diego 27-23
