Regular Season Week 15




We’ve got games on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in week 15! I don’t really want to talk about last week’s games, the Giants lost and that was a horrible “birthday present.” Otherwise, I had a wonderful birthday. My family and friends sent me wishes via zoom and my partner knocked it out of the park, as he always does, when it came to birthday celebrations.




I went 8-8 in my picks and lost in fantasy. It wasn’t a good week for me football wise. Here’s the recap of week 14.




Patriots @ Rams 3-24

The Rams definitely had a different outcome from the last time these two teams met. The Patriots played so badly they actually benched Cam Newton. The other Cam, Cam Akers of the Rams, had an amazing game and ran all over the Patriots leading his team to victory.




Texans @ Bears 7-36

Fun fact: if I had played the Bears defense instead of sitting them on my fantasy bench I would have won this week. The Bears kill me once again. This time for actually winning.




Cowboys @ Bengals 30-7

The Cowboys actually looked decent, but then again they were playing the Bengals. Andy Dalton finally got a win in Cincinnati, which is a rarity for him. There’s a joke in there somewhere.




Chiefs @ Dolphins 33-27

This game was ugly. The Dolphins defense was relentless but the Chiefs still got the win, even though Patrick Mahomes turned the ball over way too much. Another reason why I lost in fantasy.




Cardinals @ NY Giants 26-7

I don’t want to talk about it.




Vikings @ Buccaneers 14-26

Yeah, really the Vikings never had a chance. At least I got this pick correct.



Broncos @ Panthers 32-27

Christian McCaffrey did not play, which I thought he would, therefore the Panthers did not win. Also, Noah Fant left the game for the Broncos with an illness and didn’t even touch the ball once. Another reason I lost in fantasy.




Titans @ Jaguars 31-10

Derrick Henry ran for 215 yards and two touchdowns. The end.




Colts @ Raiders 44-27

I drafted T.Y. Hilton this year in fantasy. After 10 weeks of him doing absolutely NOTHING I dropped him and picked up Nelson Agholor. Of course Hilton had 2 touchdowns in the Colts win. SMH.




Jets @ Seahawks 3-40

The Seahawks got back to winning. Russell Wilson threw 4 touchdown passes in the process. In other news the Jets are still terrible.




Packers @ Lions 31-24

Oh yeah, if I had started Aaron Rodgers over Patrick Mahomes I would have won in fantasy. Rodgers had 4 total touchdowns, three passing, one rushing, and no interceptions… Because, of course he did.




Saints @ Eagles 21-24

Jalen Hurts seems to be the answer to the quarterback dilemma in Philly. Sorry not sorry Wentz. I still think the Saints should’ve won this game.




Falcons @ Chargers 17-20

Michael Badgley kicked the game winning field goal as time expired to give the Chargers the win. Meanwhile the Falcons lose yet another close game.




Washington @ 49ers 23-15

Stupid 49ers couldn’t beat the team that doesn’t even have a name! And now the Giants are out of first place in the NFC East. I do like Alex Smith, but he left the game due to injury. Hopefully it’s not too bad. Anyway, shame on you 49ers!




Steelers @ Bills 15-26

This was a great game! The Bills pretty much crushed the Steelers. Josh Allen was on point. It was super fun to watch. At least one New York team won this week… The Steelers were sloppy and the Bills capitalized on Pittsburgh's mistakes.




Ravens @ Browns 47-42

The Browns actually looked like they were going to pull off a win. Lamar Jackson had gone out of the game, for the rest of the game, the audience thought. Then on a fourth and five towards the end of the game Jackson returned from the locker room and threw a touchdown pass to Marquise Brown. This touchdown put the Ravens back on top. The Browns answered with a touchdown from Kareem Hunt. Then Justin Tucker sealed the win with a 55-yard field goal. The fourth quarter was epic if you are a Ravens fan and traumatic if you are a Browns fan.




WEEK 15




Thursday, December 17th





Chargers (4-9) @ Raiders (7-6) (8:20pm FOX/NFL)

I’m picking the Raiders to win because the Chargers seem to not be able to finish games. Also, Keenan Allen probably won’t play so that’s another reason to pick the Raiders.




Saturday, December 19th





Bills (10-3) @ Broncos (5-8) (4:30pm NFL)

I’m picking the Bills to win this game.




Panthers (4-9) @ Packers (10-3) (8:15pm NFL)

I’m going with the Packers to win this game. The Panthers are just not very good this year.




Sunday, December 20th




49ers (5-8) @ Cowboys (4-9) (1pm CBS)

The stupid 49ers should’ve won last week. I’m going to pick them again to win, hopefully, this time they actually will.




Buccaneers (8-5) @ Falcons (4-9) (1pm FOX)

I am pretty sure that the Buccaneers will win this game. That’s my pick.




Texans (4-9) @ Colts (9-4) (1pm CBS)

I’m picking the Colts to win this game.




Lions (5-8) @ Titans (9-4) (1pm CBS)

I’m taking the Titans over the Lions.




Patriots (6-7) @ Dolphins (8-5) (1pm CBS)

I think that the Dolphins will win this game. It’s weird to pick them over the Patriots. 2020 has been a strange year indeed.




Bears (6-7) @ Vikings (6-7) (1pm FOX)

Whenever I pick the Bears to win, they lose, and when I pick against them, they win. I lose either way. So I’m picking the Vikings for the win, which pretty much ensures that the Bears will win.




Seahawks (9-4) @ Washington (6-7) (1pm FOX)

I really need the Seahawks to actually beat the Football team. I’m picking the Seahawks.




Jaguars (1-12) @ Ravens (8-5) (1pm CBS)

I’m picking the Ravens to win this game even though they still have people testing positive for COVID-19. So, they are still dealing with that.




Jets (0-13) @ Rams (9-4) (4:25pm FOX)

I’m picking the Rams to win this game. It should be an easy win.




Eagles (4-8-1) @ Cardinals (7-6) (4:05pm FOX)

Another game of angry birds. I’m going to be rooting for the Cardinals as well as picking them to win.




Chiefs (12-1) @ Saints (10-3) (4:25pm CBS)

I’m rolling with the Chiefs, though I hope that the Saints play a little bit better than they did last week. It must be embarrassing losing to a team that only had 3 wins coming into the game last week.




Browns (9-4) @ NY Giants (5-8) (8:20pm NBC)

The Giants are not on my good side. I don’t think that they can win this game. I think it was dumb for the NFL to move them into this slot. Danny Jones has another leg injury and might not play. The Giants are a disappointment. I’m picking the Browns to win. Go G-MEN!





Monday, December 21st




Steelers (11-2) @ Bengals (2-10-1) (8:15pm ESPN)

I’m pretty sure the Steelers will bounce back from back to back losses. Playing the Bengals is like giving the Steelers an early Christmas present as well as a boost of confidence. I’m picking the Steelers to win this game.






GO G-MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Thanks for the edit Eric!
