Week 15 already?! I finally get a kick-a** performance out of my fantasy team in Week 14, but it's too little and too late to get me into the playoffs. Fortunately I still have my Week 15 Picks for Bendy to keep me afloat! Here we go!

Week 15

Thursday, Dec. 11

Arizona Cardinals vs. St. Louis Rams, 7:25 p.m. Resurgent Rams versus the offense-less Cards. Say what you will about the Lambs, but they have one heckuva D. Rams win.

Sunday, Dec. 14

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Atlanta Falcons, 1 p.m. Which Steelers team will show up? The powerhouse that has demolished the Bengals and Colts recently. Or the one that managed to lose to the lowly Jets. With a playoff spot virtually on the line, I'm betting the powerhouse. Steelers.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Baltimore Ravens, 1 p.m. Must-win for the Poe-Birds if they want to make the post season. If there's anything I've learned this season it's that there's no sure thing (Oakland - SF last week; Pitt - NYJ earlier, and Redskins - Cowboys earlier still). But I don't think the Ravens blow this one. Ravens.

Green Bay Packers vs. Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m.Aaron Rodgers and the Pack roll on. Packers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers, 1 p.m. No Cam for the Panthers this week, who miraculously came alive last week to pound the Saints. But even without Mr Newton, the Panthers win.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns, 1 p.m. Who can figure out either of these teams? Bueller? Bueller? What the hey, let's go with Johnny Football making some crazy plays at home to keep the Browns season alive and totally throw the AFC North into a mathemetician's wet dream with the playoff implication permutations.

Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions, 1 p.m. Lions showed something last week. Maybe they have finally figured out how not to tank in December. Lions.

Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts, 1 p.m. Luck and the Colts just have too much for the Texans to overcome, no matter what miracles JJ Watt performs. Colts.

Oakland Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 1 p.m. Raiders have used up their Cinderella games and KC will not play as poorly as they did in the teams' previous meeting. KC.

Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots, 1 p.m. Patriots welcome the Dolphins to the big-boy league and further dim their dying playoff hopes. Patriots.

Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants, 1 p.m. The Giants are not very good. The Deadskins are just plain awful. Giants win in one of Tom Coughlin's final games at the helm. G-Men!

Denver Broncos vs. San Diego Chargers, 4:05 p.m. Against all logic, the Chargers come up big at home. Chargers!

New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans, 4:05 p.m.Jets have become very adept at finding ways to lose. No difference this week. Titans!

San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks, 4:25 p.m.A must win for the Niners but they aren't gonna get it (I think both Harbaugh and Kaepernick are in their final days in SF). Seahawks.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles, 8:30 p.m. A tough one.... 'Boys don't have the defense Seattle does so I doubt they will hold the Eagles offense in check as the Seahawks did. They do have a power back and can stay with Philly in a shoot-out. Like the Iggles at home though.... Eagles.

Monday, Dec. 15

New Orleans Saints vs. Chicago Bears, 8:30 p.m. This must have looked like a good match-up back in August. But now it's December! No way I can take Jay Cutler over Drew Brees, no matter how inconsistent the 'Aints have been the last six weeks. And weather be damned! Saints!
