In Week 14 last week, 5 underdogs on the moneyline picked up upset wins — the Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Chargers, Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. Five covered the spread as underdogs.
Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s NFL odds and lines, and tab the best NFL Week 15 underdog bets to cash in on among SportbookWire’s NFL expert picks and predictions.
My underdog picks last week again went 1-2 as the New York Jets covered the spread against the Buffalo Bills, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were no match for the San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals were beaten by the New England Patriots after QB Kyler Murray was lost for the season with a torn ACL.
On the season, my underdog picks are 19-23.

Cincinnati Bengals at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS +3.5 (-110) – 4:25 (CBS)
After Tampa escaped with a win over the Saints, they were completely dominated by the 49ers 35-7. It was never close. Of course, that was going against the league’s No. 1 defense.
Cincinnati’s defense is 11th in points allowed (20.4 ppg) and 14th in yards (331.1 ypg), and they are only 20th against the pass (220.1 ypg), so QB Tom Brady will be able to get things going.
Tampa’s pass defense is 6th in the league so the Bucs will make things difficult for Joe Burrow.

These teams met 2 weeks ago and ended in a tie. Four of their last 5 meetings have been decided by 3 or fewer points.
The Giants have not won in their last 4 games. Washington has not lost in its last 4.
The Giants are 9-4 ATS on the season.
