Playoff races in the AFC and NFC are starting to take shape with three weeks left in the regular season. Week 15 is one of the best slate of games in a while especially in the early 1 PM eastern time slot. Chicago/Green Bay, Atlanta/New York and Baltimore/Denver all play early on Sunday. I was surprised at first that none of these games were flexed to late afternoon or Sunday night. However, CBS has the 4:25 PM games and they wouldn’t move Baltimore/Denver with a game like Dallas/Pittsburgh already in that slot. NBC has New England/San Francisco for Sunday night so no need to flex out of that game. There are also other games with playoff implications that will make the postseason race clearer after week 15.

Here is where I’m leaning towards for each game against the point spread. Picks will be finalized later this week.
