Week 15 of the NFL season is here. Where did time go? As you can see, the picks are close. This one is going to come down to the wire. Who's going to take it?
With the season officially underway, the Complex Sports team is rolling out a bunch of new NFL content. We rolled out our (controversial) QB rankings list, where we ranked every single starting NFL QB from worst to best. We'll have weekly fantasy content this year, as well as a ton of gambling content to help you win (probably lose) money all season. We'll have interviews, videos, dispatches from games, and much more all season long. Basically, we've got you covered all over the NFL season this year and we can't wait.
As part of our weekly NFL content this season, the Complex Sports team is doing weekly picks on every single game each week. These picks are straight up, but don't worry, Chopz and Adam will have a fresh gambling column with their best bets of the week every Friday. We'll be keeping track of the predictions from Chopz, Adam, Zion, and Angel all season long, with the ultimate bragging rights on the line. So check out our picks and be sure to jump on Twitter and yell at us for how bad you think they are.
2019 Standings:
Chopz: 123-84-1
Adam: 122-85-1
Zion: 124-83-1
Angel: 128-79-1
New York Jets vs. Baltimore Ravens
Chopz: Ravens roll over the Jets and march toward a first round playoff bye.
Adam: If I was clever enough, I’d make some kind of bowling joke. But since I’m not, only a lunatic would pick the Jets to win straight up.
Angel: Ravens.
Zion: LOL RG3 will replace Lamar in the second quarter.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Detroit Lions
Chopz: Jameis Winston might not be the best QB in the NFL but he’s easily the most entertaining. You never know what you’re going to get.
Adam: Feel like this could be a letdown situation for the Buccaneers since they’re on a two-game winning streak, have the Texans next week, and hit the road to face the lowly Lions. Give me Detroit.
Angel: The Bucs are gonna make it four in a row on the road.
Zion: Jameis lowkey has been solid, give me the Bucs by a couple scores.
Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Chopz: Chiefs, but the Broncos will keep this one close.
Adam: Agreed. Closer than the experts things. But Chiefs straight up.
Angel: Chiefs.
Zion: Chiefs.
Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans
Chopz: I’ll go with the Texans to win this one after they laid an egg last week.
Adam: Deshaun covers since he’s practically a sure thing as a road underdog (seriously, look it up), but the Titans stay hot and eek out a win.
Angel: Give me the Titans because the Texans be on some bullshit.
Zion: Texans need this after last week. HTOWN.
Miami Dolphins vs. New York Giants
Chopz: Eli gets back to .500, baby!
Adam: Dolphins because this Jets fans is enjoying watching the Giants devolve into a certified trainwreck.
Angel: Giants because Eli needs to get back to .500.
Zion: Y’all really confident the Giants gonna win here. I am not. Battle for Chase Young. Dolphins.
Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers
Chopz: What’s wrong with the Packers? They look off and the offense is struggling, but I think they win this one at home.
Adam: I see no reason to pick the Bears here since beating the Cowboys isn’t exactly something to celebrate these days. Packers grind out a victory.
Angel: What a game this is going to be, but give me the Packer at Lambeau.
Zion: I'll take the Pack here.
Seattle Seahawks vs. Carolina Panthers
Chopz: Seattle gets a W.
Adam: No way Seattle is looking ahead to next week’s opponent since it’s the Cardinals. But the showdown with the 49ers looms in two weeks. Expect a bounce back after that putride showing in Los Angeles.
Angel: Hawks on the road after that awful showing last week.
Zion: Seattle bounces back.
New England Patriots vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Chopz: Did the Patriots really need to film the Bengals to win this game? Spygate 2 breaking because the Pats wanted to get film so they could beat Andy Dalton would be a doozy.
Adam: You hate to see the Patriots not get the calls. Absolutely hate to see it. But can’t justify taking the Bengals here as bad as New England has been on offense lately. They’ve been BAD.
Angel: Pats because they have the footage.
Zion: Pats cheating to beat the Bengals. Yikes.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Redskins
Chopz: I’m not sure the Eagles have any WRs left on their roster, but they should win this one.
Adam: Why not? Give me Washington. Eagles are trash.
Angel: The Eagles will win this game but they’ll make it more interesting than it needs to be.
Zion: Eagles are probably gonna win the division.
Cleveland Browns vs. Arizona Cardinals
Chopz: The Browns playoff hopes aren’t dead. You hear that? There’s still a chance! Browns, baby!
Adam: Cardinals romp over the frauds from Ohio.
Angel: The Browns are frustrating to watch but they have to win this game, right?
Zion: GIMMIE THEM CARDS AT HOME. SINK THE SHIP.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Oakland Raiders
Chopz: Raiders win this one.
Adam: Last home game for the Raiders in Oakland. The Black Hole has to go out with a win. Right? Raiders give their fans something to celebrate one last time.
Angel: The Raiders should’ve won last week (they owe me money.) So I’ll take them at home this week.
Zion: Raiders at home.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Los Angeles Chargers
Chopz: Vikings better not sleep on the Chargers, I’ll say that. Give me Minnesota, but I don’t feel strong about this one.
Adam: Chargers “home” game that will feature thousands and thousands of Vikings fans. Minnesota smokes the Los Angeles Chargers from San Diego.
Angel: Vikings continue their impressive play on the road.
Zion: Chargers went off last week but Phillip won’t be talking any smack after this one. Vikings.
Atlanta Falcons vs. San Francisco 49ers
Chopz: This feels like a letdown game for the 49ers, but I think they still win it.
Adam: Don’t overthink it. Niners.
Angel: Niners.
Zion: Niners even though they’re frauds.
Los Angeles Rams vs. Dallas Cowboys
Chopz: How could anyone pick the Cowboys to win a football game right now? Rams take it.
Adam: Todd Gurley is alive. The Rams look competent on offense. And the Cowboys are in glorious turmoil. Screams LA blowout.
Angel: The Cowboys? The Cowboys.
Zion: I’m taking the Rams after last week.
Buffalo Bills vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Chopz: This is the first time the Bills have played on SNF in like 10 years. They win this one.
Adam: Bills really haven’t beaten a good team this year (I’m not counting the Cowboys). Surprisingly, the Steelers qualify as a good team. So give me Pittsburgh.
Angel: Give me the Bills on the road because they are for real, folks.
Zion: I’m taking the Bills. They might be legit.
Indianapolis Colts vs. New Orleans Saints
Chopz: Saints roll over the Colts.
Adam: Colts have been D. O. N. E. for weeks now. No way the Saints lay an egg at home.
Angel: Saints make up for last week’s weird ass game.
Zion: Saints.
