NY Giants @ Washington Redskins
Spread: Giants, -3
o/u: 43.5
The Giants are one of many teams on the outsode of the playoffs looking in. With the two teams directly in front of them, the Cowboys and Eagle, both winning this week, the Giants are under incredible pressure to keep up. Of course, the Redskins have to be on the list of teams you want to face when you need a win. Denver thought the same thing in Week 10, and they lost, 27-17. What the 'Skins don't have is the strong running game they had before they lost their to two backs. What the Giants don't have is the strong defense they had all of last season. They haven't held a team to under 20 points since Week 5 against Oakland. Since that game, the end of their 5-0 start, they've gone 2-6, beating only Dallas and Atlanta, and getting crushed by Denver along the way. The Giants have finally found their passing game, though, and that should carry them to a win.
Pick: Giants 31 - Redskins 24

NFL Week 15 Preview
Dallas Cowboys @ New Orleans Saints
Spread: Saints, -7.5
o/u: 53.5
The Cowboy Collapse is two games deep, and this year it isn't Tony Romo's fault! At least not yet. Romo has actually played well so far in December. Unfortunately, this week he goes into a hostile Superdome against a Saints team that plays very well against the pass. Even if he still plays well this week, the defense and short-yardage game have been awful this month. I don't see that changing as long as Wade Phillips is in charge.
Pick: Saints 35 - Cowboys 17
Spread: Saints, -7.5

Thursday Night Special - Colts @ Jaguars
Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Spread: Colts, -3
o/u: 43
This is the first game in Jacksonville this season that won't be blacked out. Who wants to bet all those previously empty seats are being taken up by traveling Colts fans escaping the cold in Indy? Sell-out crowd or not, Jacksonville has their work cut out for them. Indy is still unbeaten, but they might rest some players this week. With this being a short week, it wouldn't surprise me. Still, I'd expect the healthy starters to get at least enough time to build a healthy lead before Maurice Jones-Drew runs all over the backups.
