NFL Week 15 odds, picks, best bets: Rams destroy Commanders, Packers over Buccaneers

What a weird week in the NFL. Bailey Zappe of the New England Patriots threw three first-half touchdowns against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Houston Texans were blown out by the New York Jets and the Tennessee Titans pulled off the biggest upset of the year against the Miami Dolphins.

Up 14 points with three minutes remaining in the game, it looked like the Dolphins were on their way to covering the spread. Unfortunately, that ended up being one of my three losses in my top five picks. I’m swearing off the Detroit Lions for good, as they continue to disappoint. They haven’t covered the number since Oct. 30! Then, the Baltimore Ravens couldn’t cover in overtime, since obviously they don’t kick extra points in the extra period. We did call the Cincinnati Bengals upsetting the Indianapolis Colts and the Cleveland Browns winning by more than three points against the Jacksonville Jaguars. We also had the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos pulling off upsets straight-up as well. So, pretty solid week (9-5-1 ATS, 10-5 SU). 

Here’s a look at what I’m thinking this week. As always, credit to the CBS Sports research team for making me sound smart.

Jake Browning is 2-1 against the spread, so why would I now fade him at home against a team making a quarterback change? Maybe Nick Mullens is better than how Joshua Dobbs has fared over the past few weeks, but will that be enough? 

I like how the Bengals have been playing. Browning has the highest…
