Las Vegas Bowl Picks: Boise State Broncos vs. Washington Huskies
How is it that when we think of the Huskies and Broncos we envision Chris Peterson coaching both teams? To be completely candid, this game is super wonky and probably should be avoided unless you’re a degenerate gambler that absolutely has to have action on it! Nonetheless, Loot gives his take on who he thinks will cover the Mitsubishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl point spread.
New Mexico Bowl Pick: Central Michigan vs. San Diego State
Chippewas coach Jim McElwain has done a nice job turning the Central Michigan program around from a 1-11 season, however, he’ll be up against it in the New Mexico Bowl against the stingy run defense of Rocky Long’s San Diego State Aztecs. This game is likely to be light on fireworks but packs some good punch with regards to betting value as we believe San Diego St. will cash out another ticket here.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Los Angeles Chargers Pick 12/15/19
The Minnesota Vikings are in a “false favorite” situation here. With an overall record of 9-4 straight up and 7-6 against the spread, they find themselves in a real bad spot in Week 15 against a Los Angeles Chargers team that they don’t match up with very well. Kirk Cousins is horrible when pressured and he’ll get all he can handle from Bosa and Ingram. The Bolts are a live dog here!
Cleveland Browns vs. Arizona Cardinals Pick 12/15/19
The Arizona Cardinals have one of the worst secondaries we’ve seen in years. Not even the bad coaching of Freddie Kitchens will stop Baker Mayfield, Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham from having a big day through the air. This Week 15 matchup has shootout written all over it!
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Oakland Raiders Pick 12/15/19
“Auto bet” isn’t a word in my vocabulary, however, it almost became one when I saw this week 15 matchup. The Jacksonville Jaguars have quit. The man with the mustache seems to be trying, but it’s all for not when your run defense parts like the Red Sea! The Raiders are a run first team that should thrive Sunday vs. a Jags team that never got off the bus last week.
Seattle Seahawks vs. Carolina Panthers Pick 12/15/19
The Carolina Panthers can’t stop running backs, can’t stop wide receivers and can’t stop tight ends. How are they going to beat a Seahawks club who are playing good ball, despite their loss last week at L.A. (which was a bad matchup for them)? The west coast to east coast travel angle is the only negative for Seattle in this matchup where Carolina’s defense has looked like a wet paper bag as of late.
Broncos vs. Chiefs Prediction ATS 12/15/19
Will the REAL Broncos please stand up! If you had Denver to win straight up at Houston last week, we’d like to slip you a job application. This team had just thrown up a 3-spot at Buffalo a couple weeks ago. Maybe their slim 4-point loss at Minnesota the prior week was an indication this team has rallied around young QB Drew Lock! This will be the second time they’ve faced KC, with the prior result being the horses being on the short end of a 30-6 stick.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Detroit Lions Pick 12/15/19
This is a tough game to handicap as the Buccaneers will be missing WR Mike Evans and it’s anybody’s guess which running back coach Bruce Arians will favor. Generally speaking, losing teams (3-9-1) such as the Lions lose steam and motivation at season’s end. One also has to question the competency of Detroit coach Matt Patricia. We’ve got another Super Bowel on our hands here!
TNF Picks: New York Jets vs. Baltimore Ravens
Week 15 Thursday Night Football features a game the lacks shine but could be a potential value bet. If one could say the Jets had a strength, it would be stopping the run, and that’s exactly what Baltimore is likely to attempt. That may keep things closer than the three score point spread of -14.5. Then of course there’s the legit question of can anybody stop Lamar Jackson?
