NFL Week 15 Picks Against The Spread: Predictions ATS, Betting Odds, Schedule
The NFL Week 15 betting odds suggest that there could be a ton of one-sided games on the schedule. Seven teams are favored by at least a touchdown, including four teams laying more than 10 points. Only one game features two teams that are above .500.
Here are picks against the spread for every game in Week 15 of the 2020 NFL season, as well as the latest odds.

Los Angeles Chargers (+3.5) at Las Vegas Raiders
Las Vegas has fallen apart with three losses in its last four games. The Raiders have given up an average of 37.5 points in that stretch, needing a last-second Hail Mary to beat the Jets. Justin Herbert should keep the Chargers competitive in a close, high-scoring game.
Prediction ATS; Los Angeles
Buffalo Bills (-6.5) at Denver Broncos
Buffalo is 6-0 against teams that are out of the playoff picture, covering the spread in four of those games. Josh Allen has emerged as a top quarterback in the AFC, and the Bills’ defense has improved in the second half of the season. Drew Lock should see a production drop after his surprising four-touchdown performance in Week 14.
Prediction ATS: Buffalo
Carolina Panthers (+8.5) at Green Bay Packers
Green Bay has ascended to the NFC’s No.1 seed by dominating non-playoff teams, winning nine of its 10 games against such opponents. A porous Carolina defense won’t contain Aaron Rodgers when he’s playing at an MVP level.
Prediction ATS: Green Bay
Houston Texans (+7) at Indianapolis Colts
It was only a couple of weeks ago that the Texans came a few yards away from upsetting the Colts. Deshaun Watson might be able to find a way to keep Houston in this one.
Prediction ATS: Houston
Detroit Lions (+10.5) at Tennessee Titans
The Lions can hang around against the 29th-ranked Titans’ defense. Tennessee has not given up fewer than 25 points in back-to-back games all season. Chase Daniel might start in place of Matthew Stafford, but he’s one of the league’s most capable backup quarterbacks.
Prediction ATS: Detroit
Chicago Bears (+3) at Minnesota Vikings
Because of their ability to consistently move the ball, the Vikings are the much better team. The Vikings rank fourth in yards per play, while the Bears are just 28th. Chicago is 1-4 against the spread in its last five games.
Prediction ATS: Minnesota
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-6) at Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta is 0-4 against teams that enter Week 15 with at least eight wins, and the Falcons lost three of those games by at least 13 points. Tampa Bay was last defeated by a team that has a losing record in Week 5.
Prediction ATS: Tampa Bay
Seattle Seahawks (-5.5) at Washington Football Team
Washington’s pass rush has led the way during the team’s four-game winning streak, and it could keep this contest close until the end. They rank fourth in yards per play allowed. Nine of Seattle’s 13 games have been decided by one score.
Prediction ATS: Washington
Jacksonville Jaguars (+13) at Baltimore Ravens
Baltimore has been dominant against the easiest part of its schedule, beating its five worst opponents by a combined 75 points. Jacksonville will likely end the season on a 15-game losing streak.
Prediction ATS: Baltimore
New England Patriots (+2.5) at Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins are dealing with some key injuries, but they’ve proven to be the better team in 2020. Only one team has allowed fewer points than Miami. Cam Newton has been such an ineffective passer with five touchdowns and 10 interceptions that it might be time for New England to give Jarrett Stidham a chance under center. The Dolphins are an NFL-best 10-3 against the spread.
Prediction ATS: Miami
San Francisco 49ers (-3) at Dallas Cowboys
With five losses in their last six games, the 49ers don’t deserve to be favored by a field goal on the road against a team that has a competent quarterback. The loss of receiver Deebo Samuel will hurt an already struggling San Francisco offense. The 49ers are 1-5 against the spread in their last six games.
Prediction ATS: Dallas
New York Jets (+17) at Los Angeles Rams
The Jets might be lucky to score one touchdown against a Rams’ defense that’s only giving up 4.6 yards per play. New York has been limited to just a field goal in two of its last three games. In six of their last eight games against current playoff teams, the Jets have been defeated by at least 17 points.
Prediction ATS: Los Angeles
Philadelphia Eagles (+6.5) at Arizona Cardinals
Kyler Murray and Arizona’s offense continues to sputter, even in last week’s win. The Cardinals are 29th in yards per play over the last three weeks. Philadelphia’s offense has been lifted by Jalen Hurts under center.
Prediction ATS: Philadelphia
Kansas City Chiefs (-3) at New Orleans Saints
The defending champs continue to prove that there is a significant gap between them and the rest of the league. It sounds like Taysom Hill will be back under center for the Saints, and it’s unlikely that he’ll be able to keep up with Patrick Mahomes.
Prediction ATS: Kansas City
Cleveland Browns (-4) at New York Giants
If Daniel Jones’ mobility is limited again because of his hamstring injury, it’s hard to see New York scoring enough points to keep up with Cleveland. The Browns ranks seventh in yards per play, putting them 22 spots ahead of the Giants. The Giants are 4-12 against the spread in their last 16 home games.
Prediction ATS: Cleveland
Pittsburgh Steelers (-13) at Cincinnati Bengals
It’s hard to lay 13 points with the way Pittsburgh’s offense has been playing. The Steelers rank 26th in yards per play. Pittsburgh has nine more wins straight up than Cincinnati, but the AFC North rivals have the same number of losses against the spread.
Prediction ATS: Cincinnati
