UTTQ Predictions: Week 15


With only about a month of games left in the season, Saturday night games start this week.

JACKSONVILLE 14, ATLANTA 30
Despite a surprising blowout victory over the Bucs, the Jaguars are still a terrible team. The Falcons on the other hand have long since forgotten their rocky start to the season. Matt Ryan has effectively utilized all the offensive toys at his disposal and is turning in perhaps his best season yet. Little to no chance the Falcons lose.

DALLAS 28, TAMPA BAY 20
With back to back heartbreaking losses in the final seconds, the Cowboys desperately need a win this week to regain confidence. Tampa Bay may be the perfect opponent as the Bucs have struggled mightily culminating in a blowout loss to the Jags. Yes those Jags.

MIAMI 14, BUFFALO 21
Remember the Bills 5-2 start? Yeah I don't either. Six straight losses leave the Bills at 5-8 and strongly regretting the huge contract given to Ryan Fitzpatrick. And for Miami, just when things were looking up with Matt Moore at the helm, he goes down. The stars are aligned for Buffalo to finally get back on the winning ways.

SEATTLE 21, CHICAGO 23
Bad QB match up? Check. Bad weather? check. Bad looking game? Check check check. Somehow the Bears lost to Denver last weekend and they're probably still trying to comprehend what the heck happened. My gut tells me Chicago is going to be angry and inspired to do some damage in this game. Look for a dominating effort on D by the Bears to deliver a W.

TENNESSEE 15, INDIANAPOLIS 18
Indianapolis has to win eventually right? Dan Orlovsky has shown a spark in recent weeks that just wasn't there with Curtis Painter under center. Chris Johnson seemed to lose his spark last week after two straight stellar performances. With Jake Locker possibly getting his first NFL start, things look pretty good for the Colts though I won't be the least bit surprised if they manage to lose this one.

GREEN BAY 40, KANSAS CITY 10
The Pack have continued to flaunt their high octane offense which was dominant even with the injury to Greg Jennings. KC just fired their head coach and have shown such an ineptitude on offense since Matt Cassel went down. I'll be shocked if this game isn't decided by at least twenty points.

CINCINNATI 24, ST LOUIS 13
Cincy has been on a major skid lately emphasized by a last second lost to TJ Yates and the Houston's. Luckily for Andy Dalton and crew, a trip to the Edward Jones Dome is on tap and its just what the doctor ordered for a reeling team.

NEW ORLEANS 35, MINNESOTA 18
The Vikings made it scary close for the Lions last week once Joe Webb took over. Don't expect the same to happen on Sunday. Drew Brees won't let it.
