After normally making our game picks on our podcast Max, Tyler, and I are doing something different this week without a podcast. This week we are doing our picks via the blog.
Chargers vs Chiefs
This past Thursday started off Week 15 with a bang, when the Chiefs and the Chargers battled it all the way down to the final seconds of the fourth quarter. The Chiefs started the game up 14-0 but the Chargers managed to come back and win the game 29-28. With only four seconds left the Chargers scored and decided to go for two and got it.
With the win, the Chargers tied the Chiefs for the top spot in the AFC. Without their top Running Back in Melvin Gordon the Chargers have kept rolling and will look to keep rolling into Week 16 next week.
The Chiefs, on the other hand, will still hold the top spot in the playoffs if both teams win out and the Chargers will have to settle for a wild-card spot.
Texans vs Jets
This game is taking place today Saturday, December 15th. If the Texans win this game and the Colts lose their game on Sunday then the Texans will clinch the AFC South Title. For the Jets, they are coming off a win but a loss tonight will give them a better draft pick.
Texans: Colin, Max, Tyler
Browns vs Broncos
This game as well will be taking place tonight at 5:20 PM on NFL Network. Both teams are coming into this game with 7 losses and will both be looking to pad their records since neither team is likely to make a playoff run.
Browns: Colin, Max Broncos: Tyler
Packers vs Bears
This game will be played on Sunday, December 16th at 10:00 AM Pacific time and the Bears will look to keep winning after a huge win over the Rams last Sunday night. The Packers with one game under Interim Coach Joe Philbin will look to win their second game in a row and end the season on a positive note.
Bears: Colin, Max, Tyler
Lions vs Bills
Both teams are basically out of the playoff picture so this will be a tank bowl as Tyler likes to say and this game will be played in Buffalo where it will be at a high of 38 degrees during game time.
Lions: Max Bills: Colin, Tyler
Buccaneers vs Ravens
Joe Flacco is medically allowed to play this week but the Ravens announced that Lamar Jackson will keep playing Quarterback and the Ravens will look to make a push for a playoff spot in the AFC. Buccaneers looked promising in the first half of their game last week and then fell apart and lost.
Ravens: Colin, Max, Tyler
Cardinals vs Falcons
After a very disappointing season for the Falcons, this game will be another tank bowl where both teams will look to possibly get a good draft pick instead of win the game.
Falcons: Colin, Max, Tyler
Raiders vs Bengals
After a huge win versus the Steelers, the Raiders will look to win another game this year against the struggling Bengals. From what looked to be a promising start for the Bengals ended up being a complete failure of a season and Marvin Lewis might be coaching in his last couple games for the Bengals as he has found his way on the hot seat again.
Raiders: Tyler Bengals: Colin, Max
Titans vs Giants
After a huge win on Thursday Night last week the Titans will look to make a playoff push while their opponent will look to keep trying to find an identity. The two main things to watch in this game with being the high powered running backs of Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley.
Titans: Max Giants: Colin, Tyler
Dolphins vs Vikings
Both teams come into this game with 6 losses and are both trying to stay alive for a possible playoff run. The Dolphins are coming off of a huge win against the Patriots and will look to keep that mojo alive against the struggling Vikings.
Dolphins: Colin Vikings: Max, Tyler
Redskins vs Jaguars
Two teams that were looking to have a bright season this year but instead they were quite the opposite with the Jaguars at 4-9 and the Redskins losing Alex Smith earlier this year.
Redskins: Max Jaguars: Colin, Tyler
Cowboys vs Colts
Cowboys can clinch their division with a win and an Eagles loss but the scrappy Colts are standing in their way. The Colts are trying to find a way into the playoffs and will hope to keep playing how they have been the past couple weeks with outstanding defense.
Cowboys: Colin, Max, Tyler
Seahawks vs 49ers
This game will be one of the two games being played at the 1 O'clock hour but this game most likely will not be an exciting one. The Seahawks are rolling and the 49ers will look to play spoiler to the Seahawks season.
Seahawks: Colin, Max, Tyler
Patriots vs Steelers
Both teams are coming off of bad losses and will look to bounce back. James Conner is still listed a questionable for the Steelers. If he remains injured they will be missing a huge part of their offense for two weeks in a row.
Patriots: Colin, Max, Tyler
Eagles vs Rams
No Carson Wentz this Sunday for the Eagles so that means Nick Foles will be making another start this week. Eagles are struggling and the Rams are coming off of a bad loss but the Rams will look for revenge after last years tough loss to the Eagles. This time the game will be played on Sunday Night and the Rams will look to take another step towards clinching the first round bye in the playoffs.
Rams: Colin, Max, Tyler
Saints vs Panthers
Monday Night Football will be played in Charlotte, North Carolina this week and the Saints will look to exploit the Panthers all night long. The Panthers started off the season hot but have cooled down of late. After the matchup this week in two weeks these two teams will play again in Week 17.
Saints: Colin, Max, Panthers
