Week 15 kicked off well as the Falcons demolished Jacksonville 41-14. We look to keep the ball rolling with the balance of the Week 15 games.

Dallas

-6.5

At Tampa Bay

46.5

On Saturday night, the Cowboys travel to Mabry Blvd. for a date with the sinking Bucs. The Cowboys lost to the G-Men in heartbreaking fashion on Sunday night but have no one but themselves to blame for their fourth quarter collapse. On the other hand, it sure looks like the Bucs have packed it in a month early and have totally tuned out Coach Morris. For the Cowboys, it’s simple: they have to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. For the Bucs, it really doesn’t matter.

Projected Final Score:  Dallas 27, Tampa Bay 14

The Sunday Games

At NY Giants

-7.5

Washington

45.5

The G-Men are now flying high atop the NFC East after Sunday night’s comeback win against Dallas. They look to keep rolling against a Redskins’ team that put 27 points on the board against New England and still lost. The Giants’ defense is certainly better than the Patriots’, so it’ll be a struggle for Grossman to move the ball.

Projected Final Score:  NY Giants 24, Washington 17

Green Bay

-13.5

At Kansas City

46

The Coach Haley Era went down in a ball of flames as he was shown the door on Monday. In this re-match of the very first Super Bowl, the Pack is looking for a return trip to the Big Dance while Coach Crennel will try to rally the troops and put forth a brave front.

Projected Final Score:   Green Bay 34, Kansas City 17

New Orleans

-7.5

At Minnesota

50.5

The Saints continue their extended road trip with a visit to the Baggie Dome to face the woeful Vikings, who put 28 points on the board against Detroit. Unfortunately, they allowed 34. The Saints won a thriller in Nashville last week and need to keep the ball rolling to stave off the Falcons in the NFC South.

Projected Final Score:   New Orleans 27, Minnesota 16

At Chicago

-4.5

Seattle

35

The Bears were Tebow-ed last week in Denver and look to generate something positive with their patchwork offense. There’s nothing wrong with the defense, which once again played well enough to win. Seattle had a decent, workmanlike victory over the pathetic Rams but face a very tough test dealing with the Monsters of the Midway.

Projected Final Score:   Chicago 20, Seattle 17

At Buffalo

-1.5

Miami

Off

Well, the Dolphins won’t have Coach Sparano to kick around anymore as he was “relieved of his duties” on Monday following a blowout loss to Philly. This week, the Dolphins travel to balmy Buffalo for a meaningless game against a Bills’ team that is coming off a blowout road loss of their own. But the Bills are home, the weather will be cold and the bloodthirsty fans will be loud.

Projected Final Score:  Buffalo 23, Miami 20

At Houston

-6.5

Carolina

46

How about those Texans? Talk about a thrilling comeback victory, TJ Yates led the offense to a late one point win over the Bengals. The Texans haven’t skipped a beat without Schaub and are looking to shut the door on the AFC South this week. Standing in their way is Cam Newton and the explosive Panthers’ offense. The Texans’ strength is their defense, which will be looking to take the young phenom to school at Reliant.

Projected Final Score:  Houston 27, Carolina 20

Tennessee

-6.5

At Indianapolis

41

The Titans suffered a nearly fatal blow to their playoff hopes in last week’s 22-17 home loss to the Saints. That was a winnable game and it slipped through their fingers. For Indianapolis, it’s yet another chance to win a game. Last week, the Ravens stomped on them but there’s always this week to grab that first win.

Projected Final Score:  Tennessee 23, Indianapolis 14

Cincinnati

-6.5

At St. Louis

40

The Bungles did it again last Sunday as they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in a last minute loss to Houston. Now their Wild Card hopes are in serious jeopardy as they travel to old Saint Loo and a date with the pathetic Lambs. St. Louis predictably turned in another stinker on Monday night and one can only wonder how long Coach Spagnuolo will remain at the helm.

Projected Final Score:  Cincinnati 27, St. Louis 17

Detroit

-1.5

At Oakland

47.5

The Raiders have been steamrolled in consecutive weeks on the road and it’s not heresy to suggest that they’ve quit on Coach Jackson. Now the Raiders are looking up in the standings at Denver and absolutely, positively have to win this game to have a chance to contend for the division. The Lions’ offense had a very good afternoon in Minnesota and is looking to rebound from their recent slump. Stompin’ Suh will return to the lineup after his suspension and his act ought to go over big in the Black Hole.

Projected Final Score:  Oakland 24, Detroit 23

New England

-6.5

At Denver

46

The Patriots may be 10-3, but that defense is an abomination. For the second straight week, the defense nearly gave up the ghost to a lesser team. Now, they travel to Denver, where they’ve always struggled dating back to the days of Babe Parilli. Tebow remains the biggest story in the NFL as he engineered yet another fourth quarter comeback over the Bears. Tebow may be getting all of the attention but Coach Fox’s defense is doing an amazing job, led by rookie revelation Von Miller.

Projected Final Score: Denver 27, New England 24 

At Philadelphia	-2.5	NY Jets 44

Philly sent Coach Sparano packing last week and now Vick & Co. look to keep rolling against another AFC East opponent. The Jets demolished KC last week and sent Coach Haley packing. That’s where the similarities end. The Jets know that the Eagles are no pushovers, especially at home. The Jets still have their backs against the wall in the playoff hunt and good teams always find a way of playing their best football at this juncture.

Projected Final Score: NY Jets 24, Cleveland 20
At Arizona	-6.5	Cleveland

Does anyone really care about the outcome of this game? Two dead-ass lame teams that can’t wait for the season to end. The only thing going for the Cards is that they do seem to play much better at home. Kolb may or may not be back and Colt McCoy is still seeing stars from that dirty hit by Harrison, so it’s not known whether he’ll be starting for Cleveland.

Projected Final Score:  Arizona 24, Cleveland 13

Ravens

-2.5

At San Diego

44

The Ravens hit the Coast for a clash with the Chargers, who are coming off perhaps their most dominant win over the year over Buffalo. The Ravens easily dispatched winless Indy last week and need to win here to keep pace with the AFC contenders. If Rivers and the Chargers’ offense can play with the same level of consistency as last week, then the Ravens will be in for a major fight. But as we have repeatedly seen this year, consistency has not been the hallmark of San Diego’s offense.

Projected Final Score:  Ravens 24, San Diego 21

Monday Night Preview:

At San Francisco

-1.5

Pittsburgh

44.5

Big Ben has a bad ankle heading into this game and didn’t take any snaps during the week, so his availability remains up in the air. The ‘Niners suffered a last-minute loss in Arizona last week and do not want to hit the stretch run stumbling along to the finish.

Projected Final Score:  San Francisco 23, Pittsburgh 21
