Thanksgiving is behind us, meaning we’re in the stretch drive of the NFL season. There is still a lot to be determined, as division races and playoff spots are just starting to heat up.
Check out our weekly predictions for every Week 15 NFL contest!
Atlanta Falcons vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Stadium: Raymond James Stadium
- Location: Tampa, FL
- Time: Thursday 8:15 p.m. ET
- Spread: TB -4.5 | Total: 44.5
- Moneyline: TB -230 | ATL +195
The Buccaneers are the worst division leader in the NFL. While the market continues to overestimate their ability, sharp bettors can use that to their advantage in this Week 15 matchup versus the Falcons. Granted, Atlanta was held in check in last week’s decisive loss to the Seahawks. Still, their offense has looked better in recent weeks. The Falcons have scored 24 points in two of their last three games, a trend validated by a modest increase in offensive production. Further, the Bucs’ defense continues to rank among the worst in the league. This is an ideal spot to take the points in what should be a close divisional showdown.
Predicted Outcome: Buccaneers 31 – Falcons 28
Washington Commanders vs New York Giants
- Stadium: MetLife Stadium
- Location: East Rutherford, NJ
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: NYG -2.5 | Total: 47.5
- Moneyline: NYG -140 | WSH +120
The Commanders’ injury-plagued season continues with a Week 15 intra-divisional clash versus the Giants. Jayden Daniels has been ruled out for the contest, capping Washington’s offensive ceiling. Combined with their lackluster defensive efforts, the Commanders rightfully enter Sunday’s NFC East battle as short road underdogs. While the Giants only have two wins on the season, Jaxson Dart has looked more like a competent NFL starter as the season progresses. Washington can look forward to a high draft pick at the 2026 NFL Draft, a position that will be strengthened following this one.
Predicted Outcome: Giants 28 – Commanders 17
Las Vegas Raiders vs Philadelphia Eagles
- Stadium: Lincoln Financial Field
- Location: Philadelphia, PA
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: PHI -11.5 | Total: 38.5
- Moneyline: PHI -900 | LV +550
The Eagles barely resemble the Super Bowl-winning identity they built last year. Thankfully, they’ll have the chance to rekindle that look against the lifeless Raiders. Las Vegas ranks as the worst offensive team in the NFL, averaging 284.5 yards and 15.1 points per game, both of which have decreased in its last efforts. The Eagles are capable of more than they’ve shown with their most recent performances, but they should have no problem getting back on the winning track at Lincoln Financial Field.
Predicted Outcome: Eagles 28 – Raiders 10
Cleveland Browns vs Chicago Bears
- Stadium: Soldier Field
- Location: Chicago, IL
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: CHI -7.5 | Total: 38.5
- Moneyline: CHI -425 | CLE
The Bears’ five-game winning streak came to an end last week, but they’ll have the chance to get back on the winning track in Week 15. Chicago hosts the Browns in a must-win non-conference matchup. The NFC North features some of the top Super Bowl contenders, and the Bears can’t afford to cede any ground. Unfortunately, the playoff hopefuls will face a sincere challenge against Cleveland’s imposing defensive unit. The Browns have no problem applying pressure to opposing quarterbacks, putting the Bears’ offensive efficiency in jeopardy. Chicago escapes with the win, but they won’t be able to cover the spread.
Predicted Outcome: Bears 18 – Browns 14
Baltimore Ravens vs Cincinnati Bengals
- Stadium: Paycor Stadium
- Location: Cincinnati, OH
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: BAL -2.5 | Total: 51.5
- Moneyline: BAL -145 | CIN +125
Effectively eliminated from postseason contention, the Bengals need to assume the role of spoiler to close out the 2025 campaign. They get to take a massive swing versus the Ravens in Week 15. Cincinnati’s defensive woes are well-documented, but its offense has rounded into tip-top shape with the return of Joe Burrow. They will wield that advantage unmercifully against a weak Baltimore defense that is prone to big plays. Well, it won’t be considered a massive upset; this contest will have long-term repercussions for the Ravens.
Predicted Outcome: Bengals 35 – Ravens 31
Arizona Cardinals vs Houston Texans
- Stadium: NRG Stadium
- Location: Houston, TX
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: HOU -9.5 | Total: 42.5
- Moneyline: HOU -600 | ARI +400
The Texans have mounted a late-season charge up the standings, a trajectory that carries them into a very winnable matchup versus the Cardinals. Houston’s ascent has been propelled by its league-leading defense. So far this season, they rank first in scoring and total defense, stacking up equally as impressively against the pass and rush. Moreover, they won’t face a sincere challenge from the offensively bankrupt Cardinals. With no wins over its last five games and with just 34 points over its previous two, Arizona will be dismantled in the Lone Star State.
Predicted Outcome: Texans 24 – Cardinals 3
Buffalo Bills vs New England Patriots
- Stadium: Gillette Stadium
- Location: Foxborough, MA
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: BUF -1.5 | Total: 49.5
- Moneyline: BUF -125 | NE +105
Inarguably, Sunday’s battle between the Bills and Patriots is one of the most anticipated games of the week. The Pats have a stranglehold on the AFC East, but the Bills can still dethrone them before the end of the season. A win at Gillette Stadium would go a long way to helping Buffalo achieve its ultimate goal. While the Bills enter as short road favorites, the path to victory won’t come easily. New England’s defense is top-notch, and its offense has made tremendous strides this season. Expect a hard-fought battle, with the winner being decided by a last-second field goal.
Predicted Outcome: Bills 23 – Patriots 21
New York Jets vs Jacksonville Jaguars
- Stadium: EverBank Stadium
- Location: Jacksonville, FL
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: JAX -13 | Total: 41.5
- Moneyline: JAX -1200 | NYJ +700
The Jaguars control their own destiny in the AFC South, and their path to a division crown takes a turn for the better in Week 15. Jacksonville hosts the perpetually struggling Jets, who have just one win over their last four outings. New York’s offense is depleted, mustering more than 14 points just once over the four-game stretch. At the same time, the Jets’ defense has failed to contain some weak offensive opponents. The Jags should cruise to victory, but we don’t envision an onslaught.
Predicted Outcome: Jaguars 27 – Jets 17
Los Angeles Chargers vs Kansas City Chiefs
- Stadium: GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium
- Location: Kansas City, MO
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: KC -5.5 | Total: 41.5
- Moneyline: KC -270 | LAC +220
The Chargers proved they’re for real, knocking off the defending champs in Week 14. Now they face last year’s runners-up, traveling to Kansas City for a showdown versus the Chiefs. KC’s playoff hopes are on life support, but this is still a team better than its record suggests. The Chiefs sit in the top ten in total offense and defense, pointing toward a late-season climb up the standings. The betting market has factored in their assumed progression into the line, but we think the victory comes more easily than the line suggests.
Predicted Outcome: Chiefs 28 – Chargers 20
Indianapolis Colts vs Seattle Seahawks
- Stadium: Lumen Field
- Location: Seattle, WA
- Time: Sunday 4:25 p.m. ET
- Spread: SEA -13.5 | Total: 42.5
- Moneyline: SEA -1400 | IND +750
And just like that, the Colts’ playoff hopes are effectively dashed. With just one win over its last five games, Indianapolis has lost all momentum from its early-season surge. Now, without Daniel Jones under center, their chances of holding onto their playoff spot are all but squashed. The Seahawks continue to challenge for the top spot in the division and conference, and they won’t look past Sunday’s test against the Colts.
Predicted Outcome: Seahawks 31 – Colts 10
Tennessee Titans vs San Francisco 49ers
- Stadium: Levi’s Stadium
- Location: Santa Clara, CA
- Time: Sunday 4:25 p.m. ET
- Spread: SF -12.5 | Total: 44.5
- Moneyline: SF -900 | TEN +550
The Niners’ defense hasn’t been challenged in weeks, and they get another easy assignment on Sunday. San Francisco is tasked with slowing down a downtrodden Titans squad that won their “Super Bowl" by defeating the Browns last week. Falling below 13 points in two of their previous four outings, it’s unlikely the Titans replicate last week’s success against a fierce 49ers defense. San Francisco cruises to victory, covering the spread in a low-scoring affair.
Predicted Outcome: 49ers 24 – Titans 6
Green Bay Packers vs Denver Broncos
- Stadium: Empower Field at Mile High
- Location: Denver, CO
- Time: Sunday 4:25 p.m. ET
- Spread: GB -2.5 | Total: 43.5
- Moneyline: GB -135 | DEN +115
As the Packers will eventually find out, victory doesn’t come easily in the thin mountain air of Mile High Stadium. Green Bay enters Sunday’s non-conference tilt as short road chalk, but the NFC North leaders will have a hard time breaking through the Broncos’ stout defense. While the Packers have employed a bend-but-don’t-break mentality, the Broncos’ offense will be comfortable operating in their friendly confines. We’re backing the home side in this one.
Predicted Outcome: Broncos 17 – Packers 14
Carolina Panthers vs New Orleans Saints
- Stadium: Caesars Superdome
- Location: New Orleans, LA
- Time: Sunday 4:25 p.m. ET
- Spread: CAR -2.5 | Total: 40.5
- Moneyline: CAR -150 | NO +130
The Panthers’ grasp on the division title is within reach. Tied with the Bucs at 7-6, the Panthers need to tilt the odds in their favor with a late-season push. But depending on how Thursday Night Football shakes out, Carolina could be leading the NFC South by the end of Week 15. New Orleans has looked better of late, but defensive miscues continue to be a limiting factor. The Panthers will take advantage on Sunday, ensuring they leave The Big Easy with a win.
Predicted Outcome: Panthers 14 – Saints 12
Detroit Lions vs Los Angeles Rams
- Stadium: SoFi Stadium
- Location: Inglewood, CA
- Time: Sunday 4:25 p.m. ET
- Spread: LAR -5.5 | Total: 55.5
- Moneyline: LAR -275 | DET +225
At the start of the season, many probably thought this would be the first iteration of the NFC Championship Game. While it’s still a possibility, the Lions need to take care of business and get a little help if they hope to make the playoffs this season. Eclipsing 34 points in two of its last three, Detroit’s offense is rounding into shape. They need to operate at maximum capacity if they hope to break through the Rams’ stifling defense. Amid a downturn in LA’s defensive efficiency, we expect the Lions to pull off the unexpected upset at SoFi Stadium.
Predicted Outcome: Lions 38 – Rams 35
Minnesota Vikings vs Dallas Cowboys
- Stadium: AT&T Stadium
- Location: Arlington, TX
- Time: Sunday 8:20 p.m. ET
- Spread: DAL -5.5 | Total: 47.5
- Moneyline: DAL -270 | MIN +220
The Cowboys are clinging to expiring playoff hopes. Sitting 6-6-1 with four weeks to go, it would take a minor miracle for Dallas to make it into the postseason. Still, that won’t stop them from putting their best foot forward in Sunday Night Football’s showdown versus the Vikings. Minnesota’s chances of victory are boosted by J.J. McCarthy, who is coming off a three-touchdown performance in last week’s win over Washington. But with the Cowboys’ defense looking better than ever, it’s unlikely he matches that production in Dallas. Despite their best efforts, the Vikings come up short.
Predicted Outcome: Cowboys 27 – Vikings 20
Miami Dolphins vs Pittsburgh Steelers
- Stadium: Acrisure Stadium
- Location: Pittsburgh, PA
- Time: Monday 8:15 p.m. ET
- Spread: PIT -3.5 | Total: 41.5
- Moneyline: PIT -185 | MIA +155
Somehow, the Steelers have reclaimed the lead in the AFC North. An upset victory over the Ravens in Week 14 staked Pittsburgh to the division lead as we head into the stretch drive. We don’t expect them to relinquish that title against a hot-and-cold Dolphins team. At times, Miami has looked like a playoff contender. But more often than not, this is still a team that can’t get out of its own way. Expect a multitude of turnovers on Monday Night Football, which should allow the Steelers to strengthen their lead atop the division.
Predicted Outcome: Steelers 23 – Dolphins 18
