Patriots at Colts
Time: Saturday, 8:15 p.m. ET (NFL Network), stream on fuboTV (try for free)
Open: Patriots -1
Current: Colts -2.5
"Heading into Week 15, the Colts are 7-6 on the season, but here's the key part: They're 7-0 when they rush for more than 125 yards in a game and 0-6 when they rush for less than 125, so all you have to do is figure out whether they're going to rush for 125 yards against the Patriots. My gut says no.
"As we know, Bill Belichick tries to take away the thing you do best and the thing Indy does best is run the ball. Belichick is going to take away the run and make Carson Wentz beat him and based on what I've seen from Carson Wentz this season, I have a better chance of defusing a small bomb using a shot glass than Wentz does of dominating a Belichick defense.
"Also, one other thing to keep in mind here is that Belichick hates the Colts. Before Deflategate, Belichick already loved beating the Colts, but after they started that whole controversy, it seems like Belichick wants nothing more than to wipe the entire organization off the face of the planet. Since 2010, Belichick is a perfect 9-0 against the Colts and I think he's going to improve that to 10-0 on Saturday."

Cowboys at Giants
Time: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox), stream on fuboTV (try for free)
Open: Cowboys -10
Current: Cowboys -11.5
"The Cowboys didn't have a great performance against Washington last week, but they still escaped with a win. Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy may have different thoughts concerning Dak Prescott and his "slump," but this week provides one of those "get-right" opportunities. Without Daniel Jones, the Giants lost by 16 points to the Chargers last week and by 11 points to the Miami Dolphins two weeks ago. Jones also missed the majority of New York's first meeting with Dallas this year, which was a 24-point loss.
"Jones will be out of the starting lineup yet again this week. Exactly half of NFL games last week were decided by at least 11 points. I'm not too afraid to lay the points here with Dallas."
CBS Sports NFL writer Jordan Dajani has the Cowboys as one of his top-five picks for the Week 15 slate. Check out the rest of his picks here.
Texans at Jaguars
Time: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS), stream on Paramount+ (click here)
Open: Jaguars -3.5
Current: Jaguars -5
"Remember when it was the Houston Texans who were the league's embarrassment? The Texans should send a thank you card to Urban Meyer because, hoooooo boy, are the Jaguars an absolute mess right now as Meyer was fired early Thursday.
"The Jaguars have lost five straight and have been outscored 57-7 in the last two weeks. Everything about the franchise seems dysfunctional, and while the Texans are pretty awful themselves, at least they seem to have a plan. I don't know what Jacksonville's is." -- CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli on why taking the points with the Texans against a downtrodden Jaguars team is one of his best bets for Week 15.

Titans at Steelers
Time: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS), stream on Paramount+ (click here)
Open: Titans -2
Current: Steelers -1.5
"The Steelers have managed to rally back from big deficits in two of their last four games, as their offense has largely been MIA in the first half before coming alive late in the game. Ben Roethlisberger may be on his farewell tour, and this could be one of his last games playing in front of the Pittsburgh faithful. The Steelers haven't lost at home since Week 3, and while that run does include an embarrassing tie against the Lions, remember that Big Ben missed that game. I expect him to play well here, and I don't expect the Titans offense to match that output." -- R.J. White in his SuperContest picks for Week 15.
R.J. has cashed twice in the Westgate SuperContest, widely considered the toughest sports gambling competition in the world. He's also hit on over 57.1% of his picks over the past six years combined.
