Fearless Rick & Coin Flip NFL Week 15 Early Games
All times Eastern
Week 14 Results:
ALL TIMES EASTERN
Thursday, December 12
Los Angeles Rams at San Francisco 49ers (-3, 49.5), 8:15 pm (Prime Video) - After the way the Rams handled the Bills, one would be strongly encouraged to follow up with them as road dogs against NFC West rival San Francisco.
In Week 3, the Rams won a 27-24 score at home, so getting three points makes sense. The 49ers are coming off a 38-13 beatdown of the Bears, but they haven't won two games back-to-back since weeks 8 and 10, with week 9 a bye week. Meanwhile, the Rams have won three straight and are just a game behind Seattle in the division.
Coin Flip: Los Angeles Rams
Fearless Rick's Pick: Rams 30 49ers 24
Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers (-2.5, 43.5), 1:00 pm (FOX) - The Cowboys could easily have beaten the Bengals last week, if not for a late 4th-quarter flub on a blocked punt that gave the ball back to Cincy and resulted in the winning touchdown.
At 5-8, they're still alive for a playoff spot while the 3-10 Panthers have been all but eliminated. They've played better of late, but they've lost their last three. If that trend continues, the Cowboys are a great choice.
Coin Flip: Carolina
Fearless Rick's Pick: Cowboys 23 Panthers 17
The Browns have won just once in their last five games and the smallest losing margin has been nine points. Just when you thought you had an angle on the Chiefs (haven't covered in seven weeks), they figure to come up loose and big.
Coin Flip: Cleveland
Fearless Rick's Pick: Chiefs 31 Browns 17
Miami is 6-7, so they qualify as a potential Houston victim. The Dolphins were fortunate to get past the Jets last week in OT, and now are on the road where they are just 2-4.
Coin Flip: Miami
Fearless Rick's Pick: Houston 27 Miami 23
With Mac Jones at QB, the Jaguars are just 1-3, but, outside of the 52-6 drubbing put on them at Detroit, their two losses were by three and five points and last week they won at Tennessee, 10-6. Hard to believe they're underdogs at home.
Coin Flip: Jacksonville
Fearless Rick's Pick: Jaguars 21 Jets 14
On December 1, Washington broke a three-game losing streak with a 42-19 win over Tennessee and then had a bye last week. At 8-5, they're in line for a playoff spot with Philly, Atlanta, and Dallas remaining on their schedule. Derek Carr is questionable for this game, but he could play. If not, Jake Haener or Spencer Rattler goes.
Overall, this line looks suspicious and the Saints may upset.
Coin Flip: New Orleans
Fearless Rick's Pick: Commanders 26 Saints 24
Baltimore is third in scoring league-wide. New York is, um, last. If nothing else, this is a third grade math problem, easily solved.
Coin Flip: Baltimore
Fearless Rick's Pick: Ravens 38 Giants 7
Now, the Bengals hit the road for a second straight game, which is usually trouble, but the Titans almost certainly will find a creative way to lose this game. At 3-10, they're in the hunt for worst team in the league, though there's ample competition.
Coin Flip: Cincinnati
Fearless Rick's Pick: Bengals 30 Titans 16
