This Week in the NFL : Week 15

Week 15 Recap

Biggest Blowout - Vikings 41, Dolphins 17

The Dolphins were picked widely as a possible upset candidate after beating New England. Instead, they got trounced on by Dalvin Cook and now are a long-shot to even make the playoffs. The Vikings continued to hold on to the slim lead they have in the NFC.

Biggest Surprise - Eagles 30, Rams 23

The Eagles were riding real low coming into this game as they had lost Carson Wentz for the season. The defending champs upset the Rams in LA behind who else, but Nick Foles. The game was very bad for the Rams, who have now dropped two straight.

Biggest Disappointment - Colts 23, Cowboys 0

Going into this game, the Cowboys were on a five game winning streak and seemed to be all set fro the playoffs. Instead, they got embarrassed by Andrew Luck and were held to their first shutout since 2002.

Cowboys vs. Buccaneers, Sun 1:00

Colts vs. Giants, Sun 1:00

Game of the Week - Chargers 29, Chiefs 28

This game feels like it happened a long time ago. The Chargers erased a deficit going into half-time and rode Mike Willams the entire fourth quarter. This game emphasized that the Chiefs can be beaten if they play a good offense. The Chargers won on a gutsy two point conversion at the end of the game.

Week 16 Preview

Trash Heap of the Week - Falcons @ Panthers, Sun 1:00

This game probably should have had playoff implications, but the Panthers tanked the last six games, and the Falcons got the injury bug. Now, there are two eliminated NFC South teams with nothing really to play for.

Prediction - Panthers 27, Falcons 21

Lock of the Week - Rams @ Cardinals, Sun 4:05

The Rams desperately need a turn around after dropping two straight games. They should get that against a Cardinals team that would like to lose more than win to get a better draft spot, as they are tied with the Oakland Raiders right now.

Prediction - Rams 35, Cardinals 17

Upset of the Week - Chiefs @ Seahawks, Sun 8:20

After losing to the Chargers, the Chiefs have lost to the three consistently good offenses they have played this year. The Seahawks can take advantage of that if Russell Wilson plays well. The Seahawks defense is also finally becoming feared after The Legion of Boom disbanded.

Prediction - Seahawks 31, Chiefs 30

Game of the Week - Steelers @ Saints, Sun 4:25

The Saints barely beat the Panthers Monday Night, while the Steelers got a tight victory of their own on Sunday. If the Steelers win, they all but guarantee their spot in the playoffs. A loss, however, would put the Ravens within striking distance of Pittsburgh. This game also features two of the best receivers in the league, Antonio Brown and Michael Thomas.

Prediction - Saints 28, Steelers 24
