The competition is still deadlocked.
With Sims and I going 9-6 last weekend (she killed us Monday night), we are both 129-79 for the season.
My 10-4-1 performance against the spread has narrowed the gap in that category, but I still have a seven-game deficit.
This week we have two live controversies and six anti-spread controversies. For all Week 15 picks, scroll down.
Chargers at Raiders (-3)
Easton Stick vs. Aidan O’Connell. Pour in more eggnog.
Florio: Raiders, 17-10.

Vikings and Bengals (-3)
It’s unlikely that Jake Browning’s bubble will burst, as it did with Josh Dobbs.

Joe Flacco continues to push the Browns toward the playoffs.
Florio: Browns, 23-17.

Florio: Packers, 24-20.
Simms: Packers, 27-21.

Will Zach Wilson keep him close? The job gets easier if Tyreek Hill can’t go.
Florio: Dolphins, 17-24.
Sims: Dolphins, 24-13.
Chiefs (-7.5) at Patriots
Can the Chiefs put Sunday’s disappointment against Buffalo behind them, or will one loss become two?

Don’t mistake your helmet for this one.
