As always, some NFL bettors got really lucky in Week 14 while others were incredibly unlucky. Browns bettors certainly felt as though they were beaten, as the Browns led 18 at halftime but were unable to reach the 2.5-point margin despite back-up quarterback Tyler Huntley. Lamar Jackson. Bills bets were also in the same boat, as the team rushed to tie up the Buccaneers only to see their chances of winning a 3.5-point spread vanish thanks to Breshad Perriman’s touchdown.
And even the Bears gave those who bet they were under 11.5 points some hope, as they took a 10-point lead over the Packers and a six-point lead at halftime. But in the second half, they collapsed and Aaron Rodgers and the Packers earned cover, having kept just 4:33 of game time.
So is the life of NFL gamblers, but as always, losing streaks and losing streaks even happen. If you get one, you get bounced. If you do benefit from that, you can shyly smile and hope that luck will follow you in Week 15. But even if you are confident you will, it’s still important to pay attention. Pay attention to the latest odds, trends, results and injuries. are impacting spreads and potential best bets.
The NFL’s bye weeks are over, so Week 15 will be the means of blocking the NFL’s first 16 games since Week 5. That will give bettors plenty of options as they look to pick their favorite bets. them during the week.
Of course, with such a large interceptor, there are now four lower two-digit numbers in action. They may frighten bettors considering how successful the double-digit pups have been this season, but there’s one in particular that we’re looking at as a bet of chance.
Elsewhere, COVID-related absences can have a large impact on these disparities. The Browns are dealing with a sizable COVID outbreak, as eight of their players were shortlisted for COVID on Monday. They play on Saturday, so they are the right side to watch as COVID issues become a bigger issue in the waning weeks of 2021.
Injuries will also be a key factor to monitor. Jackson (ankle) is unlikely to play in the Ravens-Packers game while Josh Allen (toe) is getting the same treatment as ever. If either passer-by misses the timing, that can cause a huge change in each game, although it will necessarily mean you automatically blur Raven and Bills.

NFL POWER RANKINGS: Where the Packers rank among the NFL’s best
The best bets for the NFL for Week 15
Saints (+10.5) in Buccaneers
The Bucs may be one of the better teams in the NFL, but they don’t always win in a flashy fashion. They have taken half of their 10 wins by double digits this year and will need to do it again against the saints to cover this disparity.
However, those 5 double wins all have something in common. They’ve been up against some of the NFL’s weaker teams in terms of Football Outsiders’ DVOA Index, “breaks down each game over the entire season, comparing per-game success with league averages based on a number of variables including achievement, distance, position on the field, point gap the present, the first half and the quality of the opponents.”
In fact, all the opponents the Buccaneers beat with 10 plus points – Bear, Dolphin, Giant, and Falcon (twice) – ranked in the bottom 10 of the index over the course of a year. . The Bucs are beating such opponents with an average of 23.8 points per game. The other five wins, all going to the top 15 teams in the index, are averaging 4.6 points per game.
| Week | Protest | DVOA Rating | The edge of victory |
| first | Cowboys | 3rd | 2 |
| 2 | Eagle | 32nd | 23 |
| 4 | Patriots | 2nd | 2 |
| 5 | Dolphin | 24th | 28 |
| 6 | Eagle | 15th | 6 |
| 7 | Bear | 26th | 35 |
| 11 | Giant | 25th | 20 |
| twelfth | Colts | 9th | 7 |
| 13 | Eagle | 32nd | 13 |
| 14 | Bill | 4th | 6 |
Even with their unstable starting midfield situation, the Saints still have a solid DVOA ranking thanks to their defence, attack, and momentum. New Orleans currently ranks 13th in the NFL in DVOA. That means it will be difficult for the Buccaneers to beat them by double digits even with Taysom Hill in midfield.
It also helps with our reasoning that Brady is 1-12 to the odds in his last 13 official games and that he has yet to beat the Saints in the regular season with the Bucs. Oh yeah, the Saints haven’t lost double-digit Bucs either since 2011 and they haven’t lost more than 10 since 2007.
This seems like a prime point to fend off the Buccaneers against the spread, and BetQL agrees with us. They believe the popularity of the Saints game should open at -10 instead of -11, so we’re getting full value with that pick. Astute bettors are also favoring the Saints, as they have a 27% edge on pro money at the start of the week.

RIVERA: Why Jaguar may not fire Urban Meyer after this season
Seahawks (+6.5) at Rams
The Rams have long been a thorn in the side of Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson. Both have played well in recent years, but even if the Seahawks are Super Bowl rivals with “Legion of Boom,” they still struggle to get rid of the Rams. That’s part of the reason why Wilson has a record of just 8-11 against the Rams in his career, his most loss against any opponent.
So why go with the Seahawks here if the Rams tend to have the edge in this game and are the better team this season? It’s all about Wilson.
Seattle is starting to play well again as Wilson appears to be fit again. The team struggled with his being dropped from the squad and also struggled when he first returned from a finger injury because he couldn’t pitch the ball as well as he should. But that’s because he returned in just four weeks instead of the initial 6-8 week timeline that had been established.
Since progressing past the seven-week mark, Wilson has gotten better and led the Seahawks to wins over the 49ers and Texans. Can Wilson do the same against the Rams? It will prove difficult, but they should at least keep it close. After all, they only lost to the Rams the first nine seasons of the season despite Wilson suffering a mallet finger injury during the competition. Geno Smith keeps them competitive, but with Wilson available and perfectly healthy, they should have at least a chance.
Of course, Matthew Stafford has also faced an injury because of his throwing finger in that early-season meeting. As such, the Rams will probably be better, especially with Odell Beckham Jr.
However, the Rams will be leaving a short week after defeating the Cardinals in “Monday Night Football.” They need to win that game to continue their AFC West title hunt, so understandably, they can revel in that glory a bit.
But at the same time, McVay’s teams are just 3-5 ATS with a rest disadvantage since he became a coach in 2017, good for the sixth-lowest coverage in the NFL during that time. . So if the Rams don’t focus for even a day as they gear up for the Seahawks, Carroll and Wilson could cost them.
The Seahawks shouldn’t have lost more than one loss in this game, all things considered. BetQL agrees, and rates the Seahawks bet three out of five, noting that they’re getting full value points against the spread. So, considering them a 6.5-point weaker team seems like a good value.
PICTURE OF PLAYING NFL: Update AFC, NFC playoff races
Minister (-3) vs Charger
Quiz: Do you know the last time the Captains lost to the same divisional opponent twice in a season? It was in 2014 before the Broncos were led by Peyton Manning.
That was almost seven years ago. Since then, the captains have gone through 20 series of games where they haven’t lost both. They could make Chargers the 21st series on Thursday.
The captains knew that a win over the Chargers would give them a two-game lead in the division. At this point in the season, that would be a concern. Meanwhile, a loss will tie them to the Chargers, and Los Angeles will own the tiebreak as their head-to-head record against the Chiefs is 2-0.
That was something the Elders couldn’t let happen. And they shouldn’t. Honestly, their loss to the Chargers in Week 3 was a mess of their own making. The Chargers won 30-24, but Chief overtook them 437-352 and won possession time. How did they lose? They lost the sales battle 4-0 and as a result they threw in crucial scoring opportunities inside the Chargers’ 36-yard line.
If the Heads can clear the revenue, they win this game and do so by more than three points. Reid and the Chiefs simply didn’t lose twice against the same opponent, even a good opponent like the Chargers.
