NFL predictions Week 15

A brief overview of the six state title games on tap at the UNI-Dome.

It took Monday’s game to salvage week 14 for this picker, as an 8-8 mark now sets the season tally at 120-88 (.577).

With 267 total games in a full NFL season, the goal is, each year, to finish at .625, which requires 167 wins. That number is extraordinarily unlikely to be reached, but the quest continues nonetheless.

So here we go …

Thursday’s Game
BUCCANEERS at RAMS, 7:25 p.m. NFLN
Winston is en route to Rookie of the Year, while St. Louis may see its team leave for L.A. … BUCCANEERS 23-13.

Saturday’s Game
JETS at COWBOYS, 7:25 p.m. NFLN
Dallas was gashed by the kind of ground game last week that the Jets do not possess … COWBOYS 24-14.

Sunday’s Games
CHIEFS at RAVENS, 12 p.m., CBS
Make that eight straight … CHIEFS 27-13.

TEXANS at COLTS, 12 p.m., CBS
The Colts have thrown a shoe … TEXANS 17-10.

FALCONS at JAGUARS, 12 p.m., FOX
Hard to understand how Atlanta could so underwhelm with the kind of talent they have. J’ville is never an easy pick, but … JAGUARS 29-21.

BEARS at VIKINGS, 12 p.m., FOX
Minnesota has shown they do not know how to defend their home field. It is likely to be bitter cold Sunday, and the Norse no longer have winter bona fides like Chicago does … DA BEARS 24-16.

TITANS at PATRIOTS, 12 p.m., CBS
Like liver, you can chew and chew on Boston and they just will not go away … PATRIOTS 30-13.

PANTHERS at GIANTS, 12 p.m., FOX
The antics stop here (for now), and the most overrated team in history, the ’72 Dullfins, celebrate … GIANTS 20-17.

CARDINALS at EAGLES, 12 p.m., FOX
Arizona still has an outside shot at home field advantage, but Philly desperately needs to win out. Therefore … REDBIRDS 25-15.

BILLS at REDSKINS, 12 p.m., CBS
Buffalo just cannot get out of their own way … REDSKINS 12-9.

PACKERS at RAIDERS, 3:05 p.m., FOX
Green Bay will know before kick-off that Minnesota has lost, adding even more to their desire for a win … PACKERS 24-14.

BROWNS at SEAHAWKS, 3:05 p.m., FOX
I hate it, truly hate it, but I have to admit it: Seattle is scary again … SEABAGS 31-10.

BRONCOS at STEELERS, 3:25 p.m., CBS
So long as Pittsburgh avoids a team that can pass at any level of effectiveness they have a chance to win … STILLERS

DOLPHINS at CHARGERS, 3:25 p.m., CBS
The only Miami team celebrating Sunday will be the ’72 team (see above) … BOLTS 20-10.

BENGALS at FORTY-NINERS, 7:30 p.m., NBC
A.J. is cocky as hell, true, and will be challenged by an underrated San Fran pass defense, but, surprise, the kitties will pull this one out … BENGALS 17-13.

Monday’s Game
LIONS at SAINTS, 7:30 p.m.
Like millions upon millions of others, I will find something better to do … SAINTS 35-24.
