NFL Week 15 Home Underdogs Preview

Playing home underdogs did harm to your bankroll in Week 14 of the NFL season. The Chicago Bears won outright as a home underdog on Thursday night, but the other four teams that were home underdogs lost outright on Sunday. Buffalo and Arizona came close to covering and did cover teasers, but Jacksonville and Oakland were smashed at home and didn’t have a chance at covering the NFL betting odds.

NFL WEEK 15 BETTING ODDS

WASHINGTON REDSKINS +4.5 VS. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

The Eagles are not playing good football, and they are on a short week. Philadelphia snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the New York Giants in overtime on Monday Night Football last week, but Philly needed to overcome a 17-3 halftime deficit to earn the victory.

Carson Wentz and the Eagles are in a must-win scenario, yet they allowed Case Keenum to shred this defense in Week 1. Dwayne Haskins has improved as a passer since first taking the field as a rookie, and Washington’s running game is in a lot better shape with Derrius Guice back in action to complement Adrian Peterson. The Redskins nearly knocked off Green Bay in Lambeau Field last week, and they are a formidable foe.

CINCINNATI BENGALS +9 VS. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Cincinnati is playing much better football with Andy Dalton back under center. The Bengals have been more competitive than their 1-12 record indicates, and they won their first game two weeks ago by beating the New York Jets 22-6. They have stayed within single digits in eight of their 13 games, and they are the biggest home underdog of the week by the NFL betting odds against New England.

The Patriots have lost two straight games, and they do not appear to be the indominable juggernauts of old. They have not won a game by double digits since late October, and they have lost three of their last five games. With Buffalo coming to town for the AFC East title next week, New England just wants to win any way possible, so the Pats may not blow out the Bengals like the oddsmakers expect.

CAROLINA PANTHERS +6 VS. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Kyle Allen has regressed in recent weeks. Carolina has lost its last five games as Allen has struggled, and the second-year quarterback has been sacked eight times in that stretch. He hasn’t had much help from his offensive line, getting sacked 24 times in those games, but Seattle’s advanced stats aren’t as good as you might think for a 10-3 team.

Seattle has a point differential of +20 this year. The Seahawks have only won one game by more than one score in 2019, so the Panthers have a decent chance of staying within the NFL betting line.

ARIZONA CARDINALS +2 VS. CLEVELAND BROWNS

It’s been a rough stretch for Arizona. The Cardinals have lost six straight games, and they have yet to beat a team with a winning record this season. Kyler Murray has looked like a rookie in recent weeks, but the Browns have a below average defense.

Cleveland has underwhelmed this season. The Browns have won four of their last five games though, and they have an outside chance of making the playoffs. However, internal dissension threatens to undermine the team and Cleveland hasn’t won a road game since stunning Baltimore in late September.

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS +2.5 VS. MINNESOTA VIKINGS

The Chargers are one of the strangest teams to understand in 2019. While they are 5-8, they have a +38 point differential with blowout victories over Green Bay and Jacksonville. None of their losses have come by more than seven points, so this could be the perfect bet for your NFL teaser picks on Sunday.

Minnesota is 9-4, but the Vikings needed to overcome a 20-point halftime deficit against Denver a few weeks ago, and they weren’t too great against a bad Detroit team last week. This is a must-win game with the Los Angeles Rams on their heels, but there’s a reason they are only slight favorites.

DALLAS COWBOYS +1 VS. LOS ANGELES RAMS

Jason Garrett is coaching for his job the last three weeks. Garrett must make the playoffs and likely needs to win at least one postseason game too in order to remain employed as Dallas’ head coach, but this team has won just three of its last 10 games after starting the season 3-0.

The Cowboys should be getting more points here given how the Rams looked against Seattle last week. However, Dallas is the most public team to bet on in the NFL, so the hosts are only getting one point from the oddsmakers.
