The San Francisco 49ers had their Super Bowl last week when they stopped the Arizona Cardinals from clinched the NFC West on Monday Night Football. Now, on a short week, the 49ers have to travel on the road to the East Coast and find a way to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
The Minnesota Vikings don’t have a great shot to catch the New Orleans Saints for the top seed in the NFC but they do have an excellent chance to lock down the No. 2 seed in the conference.
It’s Friday, which means its parlay time. Week 15 of the NFL season is in full swing and we’ll see two unbeaten teams in action before we even hit Sunday. Nonetheless, here’s a good looking parlay for three Sunday games:
No two playoff contenders in the NFC are bewildering me more than New Orleans and Dallas. I’m actually pretty serious about this. While New Orleans is perfect, they’ve nearly lost to Washington, St. Louis and Chris Redman.
“Yeeeeeeesh! What the hell is that smell? Oh, it’s the Browns playing the Chiefs this weekend.”
“Good gracious what in the name of Satan were the schedule makers thinking when they threw this game on the board?”

The Line: San Diego Chargers -6 1/2
Two potential playoff teams meet at Qualcomm Stadium as the San Diego Chargers host the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Dallas Cowboys have begun their annual December collapse and the cure for their ailments is not a road trip to face the lone undefeated team in the NFC. Nonetheless, the Cowboys will try to do what 13 other teams have failed to do: defeat the New Orleans Saints.
The playoff race is getting hotter with every week that passes by, some teams like the Titans and the Dolphins who were out of contention are suddenly are back and they play each other this week. So like the Highlander there can only be one.
They’re circling the wagons on Foxboro, where the Holy Trinity of Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and Bob Kraft is defending Randy Moss in an obvious desperate attempt to keep the wide receiver from completely checking out in the final three games of the season.
Much has been made of the Cincinnati Bengals’ conversion from a team dominated by hoodlums to a group that stays home on Friday and Saturday nights, which greatly enhances the team’s chances of winning on Sunday afternoons. But a more subtle metamorphosis has taken place, and it will be evident Sunday when Cincy travels to San Diego in an important Week 15 game.

BetUS NFL football betting odds: INDIANAPOLIS -3, Total 42.5
The Colts are listed as a three-point favorite, with a posted total of 42.5 points.

Week 15 is upon us and our first Saturday night match up is here. My pick for game of the week is Cincinnati at San Diego. The Chargers are by far the best-unbeaten team in the league at the moment and the Bengals have the weapons to be a threat if the right team shows takes the field.
For the second week in a row there was an even split between the favorites and the underdogs as eight teams getting points covered with six teams; Cleveland, Miami, Buffalo, San Diego, Philadelphia, and San Francisco winning outright. Home teams were evenly split as well with eight winning outright and eight winning ATS.
