With no more byes we return to a full slate of 16 games on the NFL schedule from here on out. Week 15 opens with a crucial NFC West battle between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night and concludes with a Monday Night Football doubleheader. The Chicago Bears won’t win the NFC North but they’ll play a big role in who does. Three of their last four games are against division foes starting with Monday night’s game at Minnesota. The marquee matchup for the week is a potential Super Bowl preview between the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions. Detroit won its 11th straight game beating Green Bay on Thursday night and is a slight 2.5-point favorite at the Bitcoin Sportsbook.

NFL Week 15 Parlay Card Underdogs
LA Rams +2.5 at 49ers
Steelers +4.5 at Eagles
One of my Week 14 underdog picks hit when the Panthers covered the +13 line in their 22-16 loss to the Eagles. The NFL parlay will come down to the Chargers-Chiefs game on Sunday night. As I wait on that winning parlay I’ll go ahead and set my sights on the Week 15 games taking the Rams and the points in the Thursday Night Football contest and backing the Steelers +4.5 in their matchup with Philadelphia.
The Niners rolled through division opponents last season on their way to 12 wins and the No. 1 seed in the NFC. It’s been a different situation this year with injuries taking a toll. And the club blew leads in three losses to NFC West teams, including a 10-point fourth quarter advantage to the Rams in Week 3. The Rams came back to win that game going on a 20-3 scoring spurt over the last 19 minutes. The Niners also blew a 23-10 halftime lead against Arizona getting shutout in the second half. They also were outscored 73-20 in a two-game road trip to Green Bay and Buffalo falling into last place in the division.
We talked about the Bills and Lions game as a possible Super Bowl preview and we have another tantalizing matchup between the Steelers and Eagles. Philly stretched its winning streak to nine games holding off Carolina 22-16. Pittsburgh won for the 10th time in 13 games handling Cleveland. It was a typical Steelers win with stout defense and enough Russell Wilson. Wilson tossed a pair of TD passes and the D forced three turnovers and recorded three sacks. I like the Steelers defense more than I like Philly’s offense at this point.
NFL Week 15 Parlay Card Favorites
Bengals -3.5 at Titans
Commanders -3.5 at Saints
Falcons -3 at Raiders
Well, my two-team NFL parlay card of favored teams was a loser when the Titans lost outright to the Jaguars. In what had to be one of the most boring games of the season, both teams managed fewer than 300 total yards and the game’s lone TD came midway through the fourth quarter that gave the Jags a 10-6 win. I spotted three teams on the early line that look like solid picks for my parlay card of favorites.
Tennessee has been strong on defense but they don’t have enough offense to contend. I guess that’s why they are 3-10. They failed to score a touchdown in a loss to the Jags, who have one of the leakiest defenses in the NFL. Joe Burrow could have a big game leading the NFL’s best passing attack. And like I said, the Titans don’t have enough firepower to keep up.
The Saints kept their slim hopes of winning the NFC South alive with a 14-11 win over the Giants on Sunday. It came at a cost, though, with Derek Carr leaving the game with an injury. The Saints are already without Taysom Hill leaving Jake Haener or Spencer Rattler to carry the torch if Carr is unable to play. I don’t like those odds for the Saints against one of the highest scoring teams in the NFL with Washington also coming off a bye.
Things keep getting bad for the Raiders, who lost their ninth consecutive game, 28-13, to Tampa Bay on Sunday. They also lost Aidan O’Connell to a knee injury with former Falcon Desmond Ridder in line to start this game. The Falcons lost their fourth straight game and first place in the NFC South, but a game against Vegas can cure a lot of ills.
