Week 15 NFL Point Spreads

5) NY Jets (+3) at Minnesota

This game gets a slight edge over Pittsburgh (N/L) at Carolina and Jacksonville (-3.5) at Tennessee because both the Jets and Vikings are alive for the playoffs. New York (7-6) badly hurt their post-season chances last week with a home loss to Buffalo, but they have played well on the road this year at 4-2.

Minnesota (6-7) had lost five of six games heading to Detroit last week. Maybe the Vikings were embarrassed that they were an underdog against the awful Lions, but they woke up with a 30-20 win. Now, they are looking for consecutive wins for the first time in almost two months. Week 15 NFL Point Spread Jets +3

4) Kansas City (+8.5) at San Diego

Kansas City (7-6) is on the outside looking in at the playoffs right now, and heading to San Diego is like putting your head on a chopping block. The Chiefs would not be in this predicament if it wasn’t for back-to-back losses to Cleveland and Baltimore, and now their run oriented attack goes against a very good Chargers’ run defense.

San Diego (11-2) is universally considered the best team in the NFL. They have won seven straight games and LaDainian Tomlinson is scoring touchdowns at a record pace. The fact that this spread is so high is a reflection that the Chargers are 6-0 at home, and they are the league’s highest scoring team. Week 15 NFL Point Spread Chiefs +8.5

3) Philadelphia (+5.5) at NY Giants

Two 7-6 teams that looked comatose a few weeks ago are right in the NFC playoff chase. New York’s win at Carolina last Sunday was their first victory in five games, but it doesn’t seem like it. Perhaps it is because we see this team getting healthier, and they have as much talent as any team in the NFC.

Philadelphia has done a great job keeping themselves relevant after losing Donovan McNabb. They were able to squeak by Washington last week due to Redskin’ turnovers and other miscues, but this is a far tougher test. The inner of this game will be in very good shape to make the playoffs. Week 15 NFL Point Spread Eagles +5.5

2) Dallas (-3.5) at Atlanta

This is a rare Saturday night game and will be broadcast by the NFL Network. Dallas (8-5) had their four game winning streak come to a crashing halt last Sunday night versus New Orleans. Not only did the Saints win 42-17 and knock the Cowboys out of the second seed in the NFC, they made quarterback Tony Romo look human.

Atlanta is 7-6 and fighting for a playoff spot after road wins over Washington and Tampa Bay. Both of those games were comeback wins, and the Falcons must play far better against Dallas due to the offensive firepower of this Cowboys’ squad. Fortunately, the home crowd will be fired up for this night contest. Week 15 NFL Point Spread Cowboys -3.5

1) Cincinnati (+3) at Indianapolis

Cincinnati (8-5) has won four straight games, which is tied with Tennessee for the second best streak in the NFL (San Diego has won seven straight). The Bengals’ hot play means they would be in the playoffs if the season ended today, but a win is still badly needed as they head out to Denver next week.

The Colts’ (10-3) fans are really angry after their 44-17 loss at Jacksonville. The Jaguars’ run game made the Indianapolis defense look downright silly, and nobody is sure if Indy could stop Pamela Anderson running between the tackles right now. The Colts need to rebound here at home as even a playoff berth is not a lock yet. Week 15 NFL Point Spread Bengals +3.5
