Colin Cowherd Week 15 2024 Blazing 5
- Browns +4
- Steelers +5.5
- Lions -2.5
- Chargers -2.5
- Packers -2.5
Browns +4 vs Chiefs
Cleveland boasts the number three offense since Jameis Winston arrived and the number two passing offense, with Miles Garrett tied for second in sacks.
The Chiefs are struggling, going 0-7 against the spread in their last seven games and playing three straight close games decided by a field goal or less. Patrick Mahomes has been sacked a career-high 35 times, indicating offensive challenges. Colin sees this as a potential upset opportunity.
He projects the Browns to cover, with a final score of Chiefs 28-27.
Steelers +5.5 vs Eagles
Pittsburgh has impressive defensive stats, holding the Browns to 14 points and ranking first in turnover differential while leading the NFL in time of possession. Their defense is second-best in the league on third down, and Russell Wilson has been top five in multiple categories since week seven.
The Eagles are dealing with issues including Jalen Hurts being held under 25 pass attempts for three straight games, kicking problems with Jake Elliott, and AJ Brown drama. Colin emphasizes Mike Tomlin’s legendary status as an underdog coach and believes the Steelers will cover.
He predicts Eagles to win narrowly.
Lions -2.5 vs Bills
Detroit is coming off rest and playing at home, where Jared Goff has an impressive 78% completion percentage in his last five games.
The Bills are coming off a highly emotional game with the Rams and faced significant practice challenges due to 30 feet of snow.
Detroit’s defense remains top three even after the Hutchinson injury, and Buffalo is 2-3 against teams with winning records.
Colin has flipped his previous prediction and now likes Detroit to win and cover. He projects Lions to win 33-28.
Chargers -2.5 vs Buccaneers
The Chargers have a fantastic defense, ranking number one in the league for fewest touchdowns allowed and red zone efficiency. Justin Herbert is on an incredible streak with 11 straight starts without an interception, tying a league history record.
Tampa Bay has been beating weaker teams and Baker Mayfield has struggled with multiple interceptions in back-to-back games. Colin sees mismatches in defense, quarterback play, and coaching, giving the Chargers a significant advantage.
He predicts Chargers to win 28-23.
Packers -2.5 vs Seahawks
Green Bay is the superior team, coming off extra rest and 8-2 since the start of October. They’ve transformed into a power run team with Josh Jacobs and Jordan Love maintaining a 100+ passer rating for four straight games.
Seattle is an average home team with Geno Smith struggling, throwing 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. The Seahawks are beat up in the backfield and not particularly effective at home. Colin likes the Packers to win and cover in what he describes as a wildly entertaining game.
He projects Packers to win 28-24.
