2011 Week 15 NFL Gambling Lines: Top 3 Matchups and Predictions
For the second week in-a-row the results were even right across the board. There were eight home teams and eight road teams each covering against the spread.
The same held true for the favorites and the underdogs and nine games went ‘over’ on the total line, six games stayed ‘under’ and there was one ‘push’
My top picks for Week 14 were on the plus-side of the register with a 2-1 record overall. With a Saturday game on the schedule, I decided to get an early jump on crunching the numbers to uncover the top three for Week 15 in the NFL.

Saturday, December 17
Dallas Cowboys (-7) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Dallas simply refuses to make life easy on itself in the NFC East Division race and now finds itself in a must-win situation to keep its playoff hopes alive. Despite passing for over 600 yards and five touchdowns over the past two weeks, all Tony Romo has to show for his effort are two late-game losses.
Tampa Bay’s season went into the tank as soon as it left the country. Including the 24-18 loss to Chicago as a 1.5-underdog in London, the Buccaneers have now lost seven games in-a-row and are just 1-6 against the spread.
The favorite in this series is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and the Cowboys are 4-1 ATS in the last five. Tampa Bay is 2-5 ATS in seven home games this season. The Pick: Dallas 27 Tampa Bay 10
Sunday, December 18
Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants (-7)
Washington continues to get an A for effort, but the losses keep piling-up on another lost season. It is 1-8 SU in its last nine games after a promising 3-1 start. The Redskins continue to play teams tough with a 3-1 record ATS in their last four games.
New York’s dramatic 37-34 victory over Dallas last Sunday night as a 4.5-point road underdog puts it in control of the NFC East at 7-6 SU, but it will probably have to win out in order to actually capture the title. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
The favorite in this series is 9-4-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings and the home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five. Despite a 28-14 win over the Giants on opening day as 2.5-point home favorites, the Redskins are 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 games overall and 1-5-1 ATS in the last seven games played in New Jersey. The Pick: New York 24 Washington 13
Cleveland Browns vs. Arizona Cardinals (-6.5)
Cleveland is another team that came into the season with high expectations. A 3-3 start has given way to just one win in its last seven games and an overall record of 4-7-2 ATS. With Colt McCoy out of the lineup with a concussion, it appears that Seneca Wallace will get the start at quarterback.
While it is probably a bit too late, Arizona has now reeled-off three-straight wins and five in its last six games to climb to 6-7 SU on the year. The Cardinals have also been a solid money-maker over the second half of the season with a 6-1 record ATS in their last seven games.
The Browns are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as road underdogs and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog overall. The Cardinals are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games at home and 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a SU win. The Pick: Arizona 23 Cleveland 10
