Nfl Pick’em Pool Strategy Week 15

After Being a Last-Minute Scratch in Week 13 Against the Cincinnati Bengals, Offensive Lineman Joe Thuney Returned to the Field in Week 14 for the Kansas City Chiefs, Helping Them to Score 34 Points Against a Strong Denver Broncos Defense. Following Their Dominant Performance Against Denver, Kansas City Continues to Lead the Nfl in Offensive Epa/Play Since Week 7. on the Other Side of the Ball, Cornerback Trent Mcduffie Has Given This Secondary Unit a Stabilizing Presence, Especially Against Inferior Receiving Corps, Such as the Houston Texans. Since Week 7, the Texans Rank 32Nd in Offensive Epa/Play and 19Th in Defensive Epa/Play. Simply, the Chiefs Are the Far More Talented Team in This Spot and Should Have Little Trouble Earning a Road Victory.

Simply, There Is No Team in the Nfl That Has Been More Consistent Than the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022. Outside of an Unusual Game Script in Their Monday Night Football Loss to the Washington Commanders, the Eagles Have Faced Little Resistance Against Any of Their Opponents This Fall. Has Solidified Himself as a Bonafide Star in This League, and Is on His Way to His First Career Most Valuable Player Award If Nothing Terribly Unexpected Occurs over the Final Month of the Regular Season. the Chicago Bears Are Decimated with Injuries on Both Sides of the Ball and Stand Little Chance Here. Expect Philadelphia to Win Comfortably in the Windy City This Weekend.

In Week 13, the Bills Returned Defensive End A. J. Epenesa, Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and Defensive End Greg Rousseau to the Field, and Held the New England Patriots to 10 Points on Thursday Night Football. Last Week, Buffalo Held the New York Jets to Only 12 Points, Further Supporting the Notion That This Group Will Continue to Be Elite Defensively, Even Without Von Miller on the Field. Since Recovering from an Elbow Injury Suffered in Early November, Has a 6-to-1 Touchdown-to-Interception Ratio, as He Has Continued to Propel the Afc’s Second-Highest Scoring Offense. During the Bills’ Four-Game Winning Streak, This Group Ranks 8Th in Epa/Play, Having Used a Balanced Approach That Has Allowed Them to Have Success Both on the Ground and Through the Air. in Stark Contrast to Buffalo’s Recent Success, Miami Has Rapidly Regressed from an Offensive Juggernaut to a Team Searching for Answers. in Last Week’s Loss Against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football, Completed Only 10-of-28 Pass Attempts – the Worst Single-Game Completion Rate of His Career, Excluding His Performance from Week 2, 2021 in Which He Threw Only Four Pass Attempts. in Their Last Two Losses, Miami Had Only 39 Minutes and 48 Seconds of Possession, Compared to 80 Minutes and 12 Seconds for Their Opponent. on the Injury Front, Both Safety Eric Rowe and Safety Elijah Campbell Are Unlikely to Play Against the Bills, Which Will Leave the Dolphins Thin in the Secondary. the Bills Are More Talented on Both Sides of the Ball, Healthier, and Have the Benefit of Home Field in This Spot – They Should Find a Way to Secure a Victory, Even If They Do Not Cover the Spread.

The Minnesota Vikings Ostensibly Had Their Reputation as an Elite Team Shattered Last Weekend When They Lost on the Road to the Detroit Lions. However, There Are Reasons to Believe That Better Days Lie Ahead for Minnesota. Christian Darrisaw, One of the Best Left Tackles in the Nfl Is Poised to Return to the Field in Week 15. per Alec Lewis, the Vikings Are Averaging 4.8 Yards-per-Carry and 1.4 Yards-Before-Contact with Darrisaw on the Field in 2022, Compared to 2.9 Yards-per-Carry and 0.7 Yards-Before-Contact with Him on the Sidelines. His Presence Should Be a Tremendous Boon for This Offense. Defensively, This Is Also an Excellent Matchup for the Vikings, Getting to Face a Matt Ryan-Led Offense That Has Scored Fewer Than 20 Points in Three Consecutive Games and Ranks 31St in Offensive Epa/Play Across Their Last Seven Games. Notably, Ryan Ranks 54Th Among All Quarterbacks This Year in Passing Grade Against the Blitz, per Pro Football Focus, Which Could Make Life Particularly Difficult for the Indianapolis Offense After Comments from the Minnesota Coaching Staff This Week That They Are Planning to “Activate Pressure” More Often Going Forward. the Vikings Laid an Egg Against the Lions, but They Are Likely to Get Back in the Win Column Here.

Cowboys (Vs. Jaguars)

Each of the Last Two Weeks, We Have Had the Dallas Cowboys as Our Top Confidence Play of the Week, and They Delivered for Us Both Times – Though They Certainly Gave Us a Scare Against Houston. Since Returned to the Field in Week 7, the Cowboys Are 6-1, with Their Only Loss in That Span Coming Against the Green Bay Packers in Overtime on the Road – a Contest in Which Dallas Led by 14 Points with Less Than 15 Minutes Remaining. in Their Last Seven Games, the Cowboys Rank 4Th in Offensive Epa/Play and 2Nd in Defensive Epa/Play. in That Same Time Period, the Houston Texans Rank 11Th in Offensive Epa/Play and 30Th in Defensive Epa/Play. the Cowboys Are Not Immune to Inexplicably Poor Performances, but They Are Undeniably the More Talented Team in This Matchup – They Should Find a Way to Deliver for Us Once Again as a Higher Confidence Play in Week 15.
