Week 15/Mama, I'm Comin' Home

I can't apologize enough for the lack of updates lately, but as of next week posts should return to their daily, or almost daily, frequency. This isn't like those other times I said that, either. Anyways, some Week 15 predictions after the jump.

New Orleans at Chicago - A good defense will overcome a great offense tonight.

Tampa Bay at Atlanta - Tampa should keep things interesting in the South.

Washington at Cincinnati - Cincinnati should start shopping the draft class now. Seems to me they need a play maker at RB, but they're probably going to need some wide-outs, and a defense as well.

Tennessee at Houston - Sexy pick of the week. Houston is playing well lately and deserves a big win this weekend. Not that it would do much good in the short term, but it could be a morale boost for '09.

Green Bay at Jacksonville - Jacksonville isn't all that likely to win another game this season. They already played Detroit, after all.

San Francisco at Miami - San Francisco pulled a big one over the Jets. Can Miami do better? My fantasy football team is hoping for a return to the Wildcat formation with Ronnie Brown under center.

Seattle at St. Louis - Seattle is starting to look like the team it should have been all year. Could this be the end of Hasselbeck? Probably not, but we'll see how it turns out.

Buffalo at New York Jets - Every game is a must-win for the Jets from here on out. Expect this to be a motivating factor.

San Diego at Kansas City - I would not be surprised at all if Kansas City pulled the rug out from under San Diego, but I've already made my Sexy Pick o' the week.

Detroit at Indianapolis - Lock of the week, part 1.

Minnesota at Arizona - Tarvaris Jackson should be back in action, which means a loss in production from the Vikings, and another step closer to playoff action for the cruise-control Cards.

Pittsburgh at Baltimore - This is kind of a half-sexy pick. Pittsburgh has been pretty stale offensively lately, and Baltimore's got a defense to match theirs. Look for low scores and lots of running.

Denver at Carolina - I haven't had the pleasure of watching the Panthers in action this season. That will change this weekend when I see just what this team is made of.

New England at Oakland - Lock of the week, part 2.

New York Giants at Dallas - This is a tough situation for Dallas, where it needs virtually every game to make the playoffs. My money says they don't, and Jerry Jones is going to raise hell.

Cleveland at Philadelphia - This should be an easy win, but then I said that when Cleveland met New York on Monday Night a while back. Don't count out the Mistake by the Lake just yet.
