Week 15 Picks- Previews and Predictions

Mike Shanahan

Week 15 kicked off last night with the Cincinnati Bengals putting on an impressive performance in a 34-13 win vs the Philadelphia Eagles.

Looking ahead to the rest of the action this week and there are some great games to watch on Sunday.

The New York Giants face another crucial NFC clash as they travel to Atlanta to take on the number 1 seed Falcons. There is also an exciting matchup in the AFC as the Denver Broncos face the Baltimore Ravens in a battle of two of the top teams in the conference.

Those are just two of the standout games to see this week with plenty more action on show.

So without further ado, here are my picks for Week 15.
