It’s a terrific slate of Week 15 NFL games today, especially the afternoon slate, which will feature the Buffalo Bills at the Detroit Lions (-2.5, 54.5) in a potential Super Bowl preview.

The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t covered seven straight games, but they are the most-bet side by total bets and total dollars at BetMGM. The public is also loving the Cincinnati Bengals to cover as 5.5-point road favorites at the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee is a putrid 2-11 ATS this season, and 86% of bets at DraftKings Sportsbook (along with 88% at BetMGM) are on the Bengals to cover.

Here are four sharp plays from Joe Brennan over at Prime Sports:

➡️Cardinals -6

➡️Commanders -7.5

➡️Cowboys +2.5

➡️Texans -2.5

Below, I’ve aggregated 50 Week 15 NFL best bets from respected handicappers for you, along with public betting info from DraftKings, BetMGM and ESPN BET. I’ll add more sharp plays from my conversations with oddsmakers in the paid chat throughout the day.
