NFL predictions, picks for Week 15 slate

The Post’s Erich Richter makes his picks for Sunday’s and Monday’s NFL Week 15 slate.The Giants are coming off a bye week while the Commanders are banged up and without Jayden Daniels again this week.All signs should point to the Giants this week with Marcus Mariota starting under center for the Commanders and Big Blue gets another week healthier with Jaxson Dart as the starter.

While the Giants were a joke against the Patriots, that game didn’t end as badly as you’d think.Giants roll.

Buy low and sell high.The Jets want to run the ball almost exclusively and that’s necessary given their quarterback situation.

My model has this spread at 11 before the news that Brady Cook would start for Gang Green.The difference between Cook and Tyrod Taylor/Justin Fields could be worth a lot or a little, we really aren’t sure.

Sell high on Jacksonville on the heels of a blowout against the Colts.Cincinnati is playing better football and while losing Tee Higgins is a legitimate loss, I still think the Bengals can score a win at home this week.Joe Burrow, who is concerning everyone with some pretty negative thoughts about ‘still having fun’ playing football, is 8-1 in his past nine starts.

Frankly, the Bengals should have beaten the Bills last week.Burrow is good enough to carry them here.Should the Patriots be underdogs here? The Bills defense just got crushed by the Bengals at home, now they travel to New England to deal with MVP contender Drake Maye.

The second-year QB is about as close to Burrow as you can get.The Patriots are favored by one point on my model.Shedeur Sanders is playing better, although I view the Titans defense as pretty despicable for allowing him to drive down the field for two fourth quarter touchdowns.

Regardless, I’ll take the Browns here.The Bears are allowing the third-most yards per carry in the NFL, so Cleveland should look to keep Sanders reeled in by feeding Quinshon Judkins.There’s no way you can trust the Chiefs right...
