The Weisguy takes over for Matt and offers up these recaps for your NFL viewing pleasure. <!--more--> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Atlanta 41 &#8211; Jacksonville 14<\/strong><br \/>\nThe only surprise from this one is that it took the Falcons this deep into the season to show us the kind of performance they were capable of. \u00a0Props to MJD for another spectacular season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carolina 28 &#8211; Houston 13<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Texans were due for a letdown but rookie Cam Newton is also showing some finishing strength for the Panthers. \u00a0He was efficient and easily outplayed fellow rookie pivot T.J. Yates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Miami 30 &#8211; Buffalo 23<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Bills struggles continue. \u00a0I don\u2019t know what is worse, their current losing streak or that they made Reggie Bush look like he was back at USC with a 203 yard performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indianapolis 27 &#8211; Tennessee 13<\/strong><br \/>\nYou would think that it would take more than 82 yards passing for the Colts to finally win but it didn\u2019t. \u00a0Donald Brown rushed for 160 and a defensive score made it nice day at the office for Indy, finally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cincinnati 20 &#8211; St. Louis 13<\/strong><br \/>\nIt was a day of upsets but the Bengals avoided that fate. \u00a0They were down by three at the half but owned the third quarter to take the game. \u00a0They are still in the race, for now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seattle 38 &#8211; Chicago 14<\/strong><br \/>\nI wouldn\u2019t call this one an upset but it is surprising how Seattle exploded for 31 unanswered second half points. \u00a0Even if they didn\u2019t score twice on defense they still would have had enough to win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Orleans 42 &#8211; Minnesota 20<\/strong><br \/>\nDon\u2019t look now but Drew Brees is on a pace to eclipse Dan Marino\u2019s passing record. \u00a0He is especially sharp indoors as Vikings fans found out. \u00a0They put up a whopping 573 yards of total offense including 160+ on the ground. [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kansas City 19 &#8211; Green Bay 14<\/strong><br \/>\nAaron Rodgers has never looked so bad as he did at Arrowhead on Sunday. \u00a0I suppose the team was due for a slip-up so better now than in the playoffs. \u00a0Kudos to Chiefs for not mailing it in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Washington 23 &#8211; New York Giants 10<\/strong><br \/>\nWith everything to play for and cozy at home, the Giants came up with a stinker of a performance against Washington. \u00a0Now they are back in the hole regarding playoffs. \u00a0They had more yards on offense but let the Skins control the ball for 10 minutes more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Detroit 28 &#8211; Oakland 27<\/strong><br \/>\nA well played game overall. \u00a0The Raiders might have cost themselves the season by not being able to stop Detroit in the last 5 minutes. \u00a0Monster game by Matt Stafford with 4TDs and close to 400 yards through the air.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arizona 20 &#8211; Cleveland 17<\/strong><br \/>\nThose feisty Cardinals just won\u2019t quit. \u00a0No one should over celebrate a win over the Browns but clearly this team is not as bad as originally advertised. \u00a0And they are making their run with a backup QB to boot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philadelphia 45 &#8211; New York Jets 19<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen the Eagles are right it is hard to say that anybody is much better. \u00a0When the Jets are wrong, as they mostly are in the road, this team is far from a Super Bowl contender. \u00a0Believe or not the Eagles can still make the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New England 41 &#8211; Denver 23<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Broncos were due for a comeuppance and who better to provide it than Brady and the Pats. \u00a0Pats took over top spot in the AFC with relatively easy road victory at Mile High.<\/p>\n<p><strong>San Diego 34 &#8211; Baltimore 14<\/strong><br \/>\nPerhaps the most shocking upset of the week as the desperate Chargers spank the Ravens. \u00a0Chargers still have an outside shot at a playoff berth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>San Francisco 20 &#8211; Pittsburgh 3<\/strong><br \/>\nIt was a pretty impressive display by the 49ers. \u00a0Sure Big Ben might have been hobbling but after picking him off in the end zone they were in complete control of the game. \u00a0This is one physical team.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"\/procappers\/\"><strong>GRAB OUR NFL HANDICAPPING EXPERTS PREDICTIONS ALL SEASON LONG &#8211; CLICK HERE NOW \u2014\u2013&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our NFL betting expert The Wiesguy looks at the NFL Week 15 Game Capsules and give you some perspective in his Week 15 Gambling online review\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":40999,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[28750,154,2662,66494,2358,802,2663,834,2363,2361,1143,1168,2659,5650,6672,2660],"class_list":["post-46767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-28750","tag-bet-on-nfl","tag-capsules","tag-fantasy-football","tag-football-odds","tag-nfl-betting","tag-nfl-capsules","tag-nfl-lines","tag-nfl-weekly-review","tag-point-spread-review","tag-sports-betting","tag-sportsbook","tag-summaries","tag-week-15","tag-week-15-recap","tag-weekly-nfl-capsules"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46767"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46767\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47070,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46767\/revisions\/47070"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
