Awful. No matter how you break it down last week was brutal. Every. Single. Lock. Missed! We are all subject to a bad week here or there though. No one can be perfect. Especially with the way this league has been this year. Football is a game of responding to adveristy. These picks this week are about to do just that! Week 15 NFL Picks coming at cha!

Bills (-2.0) vs Dallas

A lot of shade has been thrown at Josh Allen recently, but with the season on the line the QB has led his team well in must-win games.

Say what you want about Josh Allen's turnover trouble, but he's still a top 5 QB in this league. He's an offensive game wrecker. With Joe Brady calling the plays this team has looked much more efficient and effective offensively. They won their recent must-win matchup over the Chief in primetime. (Allen now 3-1 in the regular season over Mahomes) Referees aside, it was a huge, emotional win.

I'm still not sure how much gas is left in the Sean McDermott tank. They'll need every ounce of it against a red hot Cowboys team. Dak Prescott is an MVP candidate. (No INTs since Week 11) No doubt about it. Even more so after the Eagles win. How do both teams respond to emotional victories though? I like the Bills. Allen will be dialed in at home. That home field being a big reason I like this lock. Bills Mafia baby! Lock it in!

Dolphins (-8.0) vs Jets

Tyreek Hill may miss the action this week. I think his absence last game could help his MVP case. Only if he's available this week though.

Both these teams had rollercoaster Week 14s. The Dolphins blowing a two-score lead to rookie QB, Will Levis. The Jets turning back to Zack Wilson and getting a blowout victory over an impressive Texans team. Two sides of the coin here. Emotion greatly involved in both.

The Dolphins need a reponse. The Jets need to stay in the playoff race. Aaron Rodgers is set to come back, according to reports. If they can stay just close enough for the legendary QB to get them in the dance what a story it would be! I don't se it coming to fruition though. Whether Tyreek Hill plays or not this is a statement response by the Dolphins. Expect McDaniel to get his offense going. A big Dolphins' victory we can watch back on Hard Knocks.

Bears (+3.0) @ Browns

The clock is ticking on whether Justin Fields can solidify his place in Chicago as their franchise QB.

Justin Fields and the Bears are at a crossroads for sure. Is he the guy? The franchise guy? The guy you build around? Rely on? Can win with? Win a Super Bowl with? I'm not so sure. Is he playing well enough right now to outplay Joe Flacco. That answer I do know and the answer is yes. Fields has cut down on the turnovers. His efficiency has still been up and down, but it's been good enough for back-to-back wins. Good enough to cover the last 3 spreads too. Cleveland's defense is tough, but Fields will do enough to cover against the Browns.
