NFL Week 15 Picks

CLE @ CIN, Cleveland- Neither team is very good, but the Browns put up a good fight in just about every game this year, despite being 5-8.  The Bengals have packed it in.
WAS @ DAL, Dallas- The mess in the Landover just got even messier this week with the McNabb saga going to another level, while Dallas has moved beyond Wade Phillips and have played the way everyone thought they would before the season began.
HOU @ TEN, Houston- Tennessee has lost 6 in a row, and I believe Houston will help make it 7.
JAC @ IND, Indianapolis- Peyton Manning and the Colts aren't having the year we are used to seeing them have, but I still say they're more than capable of beating the Jaguars at home.
KC @ STL, Kansas City- I feel the Chiefs are the better team, and will win with Cassel at quarterback.
BUF @ MIA, Miami- The Dolphins are 1-5 at home, while the Bills are 1-5 on the road.  I think this will be another story of the Bills losing a close game.
PHI @ NYG, Philadelphia- Both teams are streaking into this one, with the Eagles winning their last 2 and the Giants winning their last 3, but Andy Reid knows how to beat the Giants, winning their last 7 matchups.
DET @ TB, Tampa Bay- Tampa Bay is the definition of a good, not great team.  They beat up on the bad, and get beat up by the best, and Detroit is a team in the bad category.
ARI @ CAR, Carolina- Not the most anticipated matchup of the week, but I like Carolina winning their 2nd game of the season at home against the Cards, who are 1-5 on the road.
NO @ BAL, New Orleans-The Ravens are 1-3 against current playoff teams, and I love how the Saints have played during their 6 game winning streak.  No Corey Ivy, no problem for New Orleans.
ATL @ SEA, Atlanta- The Falcons have won their last 7 and are the best team in the NFC.  I think they'll walk all over the Seahawks in this one.
DEN @ OAK, Oakland- The Raiders are 4-0 in the division and beat the Broncos by 45 in their first meeting this year.  I don't see how Tim Tebow will help that.
NYJ @ PIT, Pittsburgh- The Steelers have been playing as good as anyone since losing to New England 4 weeks ago, while the Jets seem to have lost their identity since losing by 42 to the Pats 2 weeks ago.
GB @ NE, New England- If the Packers want to win, they'll have to outscore Brady and the high-flying Pats offense.  With no Rodgers, I don't see that happening.
CHI @ MIN, Chicago- With the game being played outside, I like Bears to dominate this one, trying to bounce back from last Sunday's loss to New England.
