NFL Week 15: How to survive and advance in your knockout pool

The knockout pool stakes are way up as the NFL season heads into Week 15.

Let the bettor beware

The Chiefs are playing well, again. They play host to a Denver team they crushed in the first meeting. However, the Broncos have found their stride with Drew Lock at QB. It figures to be an easy KC victory. Then again, in Week 14 the Texans looked like a lock against Denver and fell behind 38-3. The Dolphins are at the slumping Giants. Will it be Eli Manning or Daniel Jones against Ryan Fitzpatrick? A short week for Big Blue and the Fish get their second straight at MetLife. Will they go 0-2 or 1-1? It’s too hard to figure. Will Lamar Jackson be 100 percent for the Ravens against the Jets on Thursday? If the frontrunner for MVP is the least bit tender or hurting it could be an incredible risk to play a Baltimore team that could go to a rusty RG III.
