Buffalo Bills at Detroit Lions odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Buffalo Bills at Detroit Lions odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Buffalo Bills (10-3) take on the Detroit Lions (12-1) Sunday in Week 15. Kickoff from Ford Field is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at Bills vs. Lions odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

The Bills were marched out of town by the LA Rams in a 44-42 defeat in Week 14. They made a late push, down 38-21 in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough. QB Josh Allen had a huge game, going 22-for-37 for 342 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs while rushing 10 times for 82 yards and 3 more TDs.

The Lions won their 11th straight in a 34-31 win over the Green Bay Packers Dec. 5. QB Jared Goff was 32-for-41 for 283 yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT. He spread the ball around to 6 different receivers that had 5 grabs apiece. WR Tim Patrick introduced himself with a 6-43-2 evening.

Bills at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Bills 24, Lions 20

Moneyline

I’m taking Buffalo here. They’re getting Kincaid back, despite his questionable tag, and WR Keon Coleman (wrist) returns as well. Allen is playing on another level right now as he seeks his first MVP award. The Lions have been off for 10 days and don’t really need to be as hungry at 12-1.

Take the BILLS +120.

Against the spread

I’d consider the Bills’ side of the spread if it swells to 3.5 by kickoff. There’s no point in taking it here, though. Instead, give me JOSH ALLEN ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN (+115). He has one in 4 straight games and 6 during that span.

Over/Under

I like the Under here in a defensive struggle. The Lions are 2-3-1 O/U in their last 6. Buffalo is 4-0-1 in its last 5, but that’s thanks to scoring 30+ points in 7 straight games. That’s not happening here.

Take the UNDER 54.5 (-110).

Washington Commanders at New Orleans Saints odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Washington Commanders at New Orleans Saints odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Washington Commanders (8-5) and New Orleans Saints (5-8) meet Sunday. Kickoff from the Caesars Superdome is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Commanders vs. Saints odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Commanders return in Week 15 after their bye, riding high off a dominant Week 13 win. They snapped a 3-game skid by crushing the Tennessee Titans 42-19, covering as 6.5-point favorites while the Over (45) cashed. QB Jayden Daniels led the charge with 4 total touchdowns, including 3 through the air and 1 on the ground. WR Terry McLaurin hauled in 2 of those scores, showcasing the duo’s chemistry heading into the season’s home stretch.

The Saints picked up their third win in 4 games in Week 14, edging the Giants 14-11, but it came with a price. QB Derek Carr injured his non-throwing hand late in the game. RB Kendre Miller scored his first touchdown of the season, helping seal the victory. New Orleans failed to cover as a 5.5-point road favorite, while the Under (41) cashed in a defensive battle that kept scoring to a minimum.

Commanders at Saints picks and predictions

Prediction

Commanders 28, Saints 13

Moneyline

PASS.

The Commanders (-400) must and will take care of business in New Orleans in Week 15, but instead of betting 4 units to win 1, I’ll take my wager to the spread.

Against the spread

BET COMMANDERS -7.5 (-110).

It’s tough to see the Saints keeping this one close with all they’re up against. Injuries have piled up, with their top 2 WRs (Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed) out, and now Carr is likely sidelined. QB Jake Haener is set to make his first career start, a tall task against a desperate Commanders team.

Washington, clinging to the NFC’s seventh seed, can’t afford a loss. After a midseason 3-game skid, they dominated the Titans at home and benefitted from a Week 14 bye to regroup.

The Commanders look rested and poised to take care of business in New Orleans Sunday, with a playoff berth still within reach. Expect them to control the game and cover the spread.

Over/Under

This game presents too many uncertainties to confidently bet the total.

While my lean would be the Under, a rookie QB making his first start with a patched-up group of receivers leaves a lot of unpredictability. Anything could happen offensively.

The trends don’t offer much clarity, either. The Saints have hit the Under in 3 of their last 4 games, while the Commanders have gone Over in 4 of their last 5.

For me, it’s best to AVOID the total and focus on the spread instead.

Winner winner chicken dinner: NFL parlay for Week 15

Analyzing NFL Week 15 betting odds and lines, with predictions and picks for the best parlay bet to make.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

We head into Week 15 of the 2024 NFL regular season with a full slate of games Sunday, and 2 Monday night contests. Bye weeks are now in the rear-view mirror, and we have a full slate for the remainder of the schedule.

We were looking for a third consecutive 3-game parlay win, and everything went swimmingly through the afternoon games on Sunday. It wasn’t until the Sunday Night Football game that the winning ways came to a close.

The Carolina Panthers (+13) are playing competitive football again, and that was on display against the Philadelphia Eagles this past Sunday. Carolina not only was able to grab the cover as a double-digit underdog, but it nearly pulled off the upset.

The Eagles were able to pull off the 22-16 victory at home, but the Panthers certainly gave them all they could handle.

In the second game, the Seattle Seahawks (+2.5) didn’t need the points in the desert against the Arizona Cardinals. Seattle won 16-6 at home in the drizzle 2 weeks ago against Arizona, and it went down to State Farm Stadium in Glendale and won for the seventh straight time in the series in Week 14.

In controlled environmental conditions, we saw higher scores and offensive production, but the result was the same. RB Zach Charbonnet led Seattle to a 30-18 win to keep pace in the NFC West.

So, on SNF, we just needed the Kansas City Chiefs (-4) to cover. If you’ve been betting regularly in the NFL this season, you know that’s actually been a tall order.

The Chiefs fired out to a 13-0 lead at halftime and we were feeling good. However, the LA Chargers stormed back in the third quarter, easily their best quarter of the game, taking a 14-13 lead to the fourth. While Kansas City got the job done with a field goal at the buzzer to win it 19-17, it was a disappointing non-cover.

Let’s get it back in Week 15 and build that bankroll for the upcoming holidays.

After looking at BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL Week 15 odds, here is our “Winner winner chicken dinner” NFL parlay bet to cash in on among SportsbookWire’s NFL expert picks and predictions.

Winner winner chicken dinner NFL parlay

WEEK 15

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of NFL odds. Lines last updated Thursday at 11:15 p.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET.

Leg 1: Bengals -5 (-110) at Titans – 1 p.m. (FOX)

The Cincinnati Bengals (5-8) battle the Tennessee Titans (3-10) in an early-window game on the road in Week 15.

The Bengals kept their postseason hopes alive, just barely, with a 27-20 win on the road against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. It took a miscue on special teams by the Cowboys, and a long scoring strike from QB Joe Burrow to WR Ja’Marr Chase with 61 seconds left in regulation, to pull out the miracle win and cover in Week 14.

The Titans are a tough team, believe it or not, despite that ugly 3-10 record. This is a team with a surprisingly effective defense, allowing just 291.8 total yards, 175.5 passing yards and 116.3 rushing yards per game. Yet, despite that, Tennessee somehow allows 26.3 PPG.

Titans QB Will Levis hasn’t been the answer, and anyone who watched college football a few years ago knew he wasn’t a first-round pick in the NFL, yet here we are. He could be a serviceable backup somewhere, but he isn’t him.

The Tennessee offense has been abysmal, although RB Tony Pollard and WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine have been bright spots.

If you like the Bengals and their powerful, high-octane offense, you will still be sweating it out because of Cincinnati’s leaky defense frittering away leads. In the end, though, it should work itself out.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Leg 2: BRONCOS -4 (-110) vs. Colts – 4:25 p.m. (CBS)

The Denver Broncos (8-5) host the Indianapolis Colts (6-7) in a battle with plenty of AFC playoff implications.

The Broncos ride in on a 3-game win streak, while covering 4 in a row. Denver is also 6-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 7 games, while going 9-2 ATS in the previous 11 contests.

Broncos rookie QB Bo Nix didn’t look like he would be the guy early on, as he was a turnover machine. However, coach Sean Payton stuck with the first-year signal caller, and now the Denver offense is rolling. In the past 3 games, the Broncos have galloped for 29 or more points in 3 straight contests, including a 41-32 victory in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.

The Broncos will be well rested after coming off a bye in Week 14. Meanwhile, the Colts are just 2-4 SU in the past 6 games, while going 1-4 ATS in the previous 5.

Look for the Broncos win this horse race by plenty of lengths.

Leg 3: BEARS +7 (-115) at Vikings – Monday, 8 p.m. (ABC/ESPN+)

The Chicago Bears (4-9) meet the Minnesota Vikings (11-2) in the first game of a Monday Night Football doubleheader in Week 15.

The Bears have dropped 7 in a row, but they’ve lost 3 of the past 4 games by only 1 score.

These teams met in Chitown in Week 12, and the Bears nearly picked up a miraculous win. Down 27-16 with 1:56 to go in regulation, they scored a touchdown with a 2-point conversion with 22 seconds left to pull to within 27-24. Chicago recovered an onside kick, and PK Cairo Santos forced OT with a 48-yard field goal at the buzzer.

However, Chicago went 3 and out in what turned out to be ex-coach Matt Eberflus’ penultimate game at the helm. The Vikings won it on a field goal from PK John Parker Romo, who is also no longer with the team. PK Will Reichard is back from injured reserve.

The Vikings are 3-4-1 ATS in past 8 games, and they haven’t covered in consecutive games since opening 5-0 ATS in the first 5 games. Minnesota covered in a 42-21 revenge game win over QB Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons last week.

LA Rams at San Francisco 49ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing LA Rams at San Francisco 49ers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The LA Rams (7-6) and San Francisco 49ers (6-7) will meet for the second time this season on Thursday night for a pivotal Week 15 game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Rams vs. 49ers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Rams beat the 49ers 27-24 in Week 3 as a 6-point road underdog as the Over 44.5 cashed.

The Rams crept above .500 for the first time this season when they beat the Buffalo Bills 44-42 as 3.5-point underdogs on Sunday. It was the highest-scoring game of the season, featuring 12 total TDs, 902 yards and 0 turnovers. Los Angeles has won 2 straight games and is second in the NFC West.

The 49ers also came away with a win in Week 14, steamrolling the Chicago Bears at home 38-13. The 49ers had 452 total yards of offense compared to only 162 for the Bears, a dominant victory from start to finish. The 49ers are still 2 games back of the Seahawks for the division lead, but a win will keep them in the mix for another division title.

Rams at 49ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Rams 27, 49ers 24

Moneyline

The Rams already beat the 49ers once this year and now they’re going for the season sweep of their rivals. Their win over the Bills on Sunday was far more impressive than San Francisco’s victory against the Bears, even if it was only by 2 points.

The offense is just about fully healthy, which will be a problem for the 49ers’ banged-up defense. And with San Francisco down to either its third- or fourth-string running back, a rushing attack that’s given the Rams fits over the years will be shorthanded.

With QB Matthew Stafford playing lights out in recent weeks, the Rams will take down their rival on the road Thursday. BET RAMS (+130) to win outright.

Against the spread

With the spread sitting at the key number of +3, it’s not a bad idea to sprinkle a bit on the Rams to cover just in case they lose a close one to the 49ers. However, I’d rather just play the ML and bet Los Angeles to win its third straight game.

LEAN RAMS +3 (-120).

Over/Under

The Rams nearly went over the total by themselves last week against the Bills, putting up 44 points on their own. Their defense has struggled to stop anyone in recent weeks, giving up 560 rushing yards in their last three games, so the 49ers should be able to score on the LA defense.

The Rams, meanwhile, seemingly found something on offense against Buffalo. And with WR Puka Nacua playing perhaps better than he ever has, the Rams’ passing attack will give the 49ers’ secondary trouble.

BET OVER 49.5 (-110).

First look: Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Dallas Cowboys (5-8) and the Carolina Panthers (5-8) meet Sunday for a Week 15 matchup at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Cowboys vs. Panthers odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

The Cowboys suffered a tough 27-20 loss at home Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, failing to cover as 4.5-point underdogs with the Under (50.5) hanging on. Tied 20-20 late in the fourth quarter, the Cowboys partially blocked a punt, but an inexperienced special teams player touched the ball past the line of scrimmage and the Bengals recovered. Three plays later, Cincinnati scored a 40-yard TD pass with 1:01 to go.

The Panthers gave the Philadelphia Eagles all they could handle in Week 14, eventually falling 22-16 as 14-point road underdogs with the Under (45) hitting. It was the third straight loss for Carolina after a 2-game win streak. Each of the 3 losses in the skid were by a single score, including 2 walk-off field goals. Carolina is 5-0 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 outings.

Unless the line changes for this matchup vs. Dallas, Carolina will be favored in its first game since Week 15 of the 2022-23 season. The Panthers were 1-point home favorites in that one but lost 24-16 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Carolina hasn’t won as a favorite since Week 3 of the 2021-22 season when it was an 8-point favorite in a 24-9 victory at the Houston Texans.

Carolina’s last victory in the series was 3 meetings ago in the 2018-19 season opener as QB Cam Newton led the Panthers to a 16-8 win as 2.5-point home favorites.

In the last 8 head-to-head meetings dating back Oct. 29, 2006, Dallas is 6-2 straight up and 5-3 ATS. The Under is 4-2-1 in the previous 7 matchups.

Cincinnati beat the Dallas Cowboys 27-20 on Monday Night Football while covering as a 4.5-point road favorite. QB Joe Burrow and WR Ja’Marr Chase were electric in the win as Burrow threw for 369 yards and 3 TDs with only 1 INT, while Chase hauled in 14 receptions for 177 yards and 2 TDs. The win ended a 3-game skid for the Bengals.

Tennessee was narrowly outgunned in a 10-6 battle vs. the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday as a 3-point favorite. The Titans won the turnover battle 2-0, but their offensive struggles led to their downfall; they scored just 2 field goals and went scoreless in the second half.

The Chicago Bears (4-9) face the Minnesota Vikings (11-2) in the first of 2 Monday Night Football Games in Week 15. Kickoff from U.S. Bank Stadium is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we look at the Bears vs. Vikings odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

The Bears started off slow in a 38-13 loss as 3-point underdogs at the San Fransisco 49ers in a Week 14 Sunday game — with the Over (43.5) cashing. Chicago fell behind 14-0 after the opening quarter and 24-0 at the half before its first score more than halfway through the third quarter. The Bears finished with 162 total yards, well below the 49ers’ 452. Most importantly, the Bears offensive line couldn’t protect QB Caleb Williams. The rookie was sacked 7 times, improving his league-most to 56.

The Vikings scored in every quarter Sunday in beating the visiting Atlanta Falcons 41-21, covering as 6-point favorites and easily hitting the Over (46.5). Minnesota’s defense forced 3 turnovers — 2 interceptions and 1 fumble — while the offense didn’t turn the ball over once. QB Sam Darnold threw for 347 yards and 5 touchdowns. The team also came up in clutch situations going 8-for-12 on third downs and scoring TDs in all 4 of its red-zone appearances.

The Colts won 2 of their past 3 games before their week off, including their 25-24 last-minute win over the New England Patriots in Week 13. Anthony Richardson (2 pass TD, 1 rush TD) completed the comeback with a scoring pass and a run for the game-winning 2-point conversion.

Denver churned out a 3-game win streak before its breather, punctuated by 41-32 outlasting of the Cleveland Browns in the Week 13 edition of Monday Night Football. Bo Nix (294 yards, 1 TD) did just enough through the air to hold off a monstrous passing day from the Browns’ Jameis Winston (497 yards, 4 TDs).

Who will pay off bettors in a battle of 2 teams who’ve displayed plenty of success against the spread this season? This key showdown for the AFC playoff picture looks like a fun betting target, especially because it features 2 offenses led by young, exciting QBs after an extra week of game planning.

Colts vs. Broncos head-to-head

The Colts lead the all-time series 7-3, but these clubs last played in 2022, when the Colts won 12-9 in overtime.

However, that QB battle of the Colts’ Matt Ryan versus the Broncos’ Russell Wilson is quite outdated to use for betting purposes, especially given the Qb and coaching changes that’ve taken place since. Do not lean on historical statistics when betting on this outing.
