A key call near the end of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 20-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday has lit up the Internet. Wide receiver Kadarius Toney, according to video, looked to the sideline to see if he was lined up correctly, and then took a small step forward to get set for the play. That step took him offside, which negated his touchdown on the ensuing play. In the aftermath, Patrick Mahomes threw three straight incompletions to turn the ball over on downs and proceeded to melt down on the sideline. That dropped the Chiefs to 8-5, leaving the path to the top seed in the AFC uncharacteristically wide open. Going into NFL Week 15, let’s break down some promising NFL betting picks against the spread.

| Pittsburgh Steelers (+2.5) at Indianapolis Colts (O/U 42) |

Los Angeles Chargers at Las Vegas Raiders TNF
When: Thursday, December 14, 2023, 8:15 pm ET
Where: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, NV
TV/Live Stream: Prime Video
Justin Herbert is done for the season with a fractured index finger on his throwing hand, which puts the offense in the hands of Easton Stick, the one-time great at North Dakota State. Stick only has seen NFL action in two regular-season games since being drafted in 2019, so the learning curve should be steep. The Chargers’ defense looked patchy against the run and the pass in their loss to Denver, and Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby should be able to make life unpleasant for Stick. Raiders to win and cover.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts
When: Saturday, December 16, 2023, 4:30 pm ET
Where: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN
TV/Live Stream: NFL Network
Pittsburgh has lost two hideous games at home to subpar teams the last two weeks – Arizona and New England. Quarterback Kenny Pickett has been ruled out, which means that Mitch Trubisky will lead the offense once again. The defense is the strength of this team right now, but both T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith are in the concussion protocol, which means the two top pass rushers on the team will at least be limited, if not ruled out completely. Tailbacks Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren are solid, but if the Colts load the box, they can win this game, even with a backup quarterback of their own in Gardner Minshew. Colts to win and cover.
Denver Broncos at Detroit Lions
When: Saturday, December 16, 2023, 8:15 pm ET
Where: Ford Field, Detroit, MI
TV/Live Stream: NFL Network
The Detroit Lions are definitely in a skid after losing in ugly fashion to Green Bay and Chicago the last two weeks. The secondary is getting torched, and the Broncos, who started 1-5 but are now 7-6, are cooking in the passing game as Russell Wilson and Courtland Sutton have put together some real synergy. However, the Lions should be able to benefit from the Broncos’ awful run defense with their tandem of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Lions to win and cover.
Baltimore Ravens at Jacksonville Jaguars SNF
When: Sunday, December 17, 2023, 8:20 pm ET
Where: EverBank Stadium, Jacksonville, FL
TV/Live Stream: NBC
Jacksonville now has a two-game losing streak against AFC North teams; two weeks ago, they lost to Cincinnati on Monday night, even though the Bengals’ offense was led by backup quarterback Jake Browning. Then they went to Cleveland and lost to another backup quarterback, this time the extremely experienced Joe Flacco. What’s up with their defense? The Ravens have dealt out some convincing wins this year, but last week was not an example, as they needed a punt return in overtime to escape the woeful L.A. Rams. Can Jacksonville bounce back? I think they do it in prime time. Jaguars to cover.
