Week 15 began with the Raiders racking up a month’s worth of points against the rudderless Chargers. Needless to say, all alternative totals were cashed in favor of the Raiders. A big night for the general public. It’s a tough night for books.
Take a look at the best bets from the boys in Bet on the edge.
Jay Croucher (@croucherJD) likes the Bengals.
“I think we know a lot about who Nick Mullins is, but on the other hand, I think there’s reason to believe that Jake Browning is the real deal. That he’s a good quarterback. I don’t think I could have gone through the last two games without him. And look, there’s some difference there. He may have just played two great defenses, and he’s had more mistakes than Minnesota. He may have played a lot of bad defense, but the identity of the Minnesota defense is incredible. Winning blitzes requires quick decisions. And if there’s one thing that needs consistency in Browning’s game, it’s this: It’s about him making the right decisions and making them quickly. So I think he’s a perfect matchup against the Vikings’ defense. The Bengals are bigger than a 2.5-point favorite. I think you should.”
Drew Dincik took another step forward with his eyes on the playoffs.
“I look at every moment of this game specifically and look for if Browning is doing that against a team that’s bringing blitzes 50 percent of the time. You know, the Vikings’ rate and Similarly, a defense that has been overachieving for over half a year has been a perfectly good defense for a while now. What does the DVOA have? Top six? So this is a good unit. And if he does that against them, I think that would answer the big question of whether he can do it in a playoff environment on the road and the Bengals need to be seriously considered a factor this year. think.”
DraftKings lists the Bengals as +8000 favorites to win the AFC. It sounds like a reach, but a long shot is always a reach until you cache it.

“On the road against a Dolphins team that had a rash of injuries to their offensive line, Zach Wilson scored an 8.5 here… They played the Jets on Black Friday a few weeks ago, and it was a closer game than the final score. It was…and it was against Tim Boyle, and I think it’s obvious that Zach Wilson playing with a YOLO attitude is definitely better than Tim Boyle, and I think it’s obvious that Zach Wilson is playing with a YOLO attitude, and I think it’s obvious that he’s playing better than Tim Boyle, and I think it’s obvious that Zach Wilson is playing with a YOLO attitude, and he’s definitely better than Tim Boyle on Monday night. All of the injuries the Dolphins sustained in 2019 are very concerning to me. So, while I don’t know if the Jets will ultimately win outright, the Jets’ defense, especially against replacement center Quinnen Williams, is a big concern for me. I think that’s kind of the key to look at in that game. If we can put pressure on Tua quickly, if we make Tua uncomfortable… If we don’t win this game, we get the 1 seed and we actually make the playoffs. I think that could potentially put pressure on him to not be able to participate in that game. So if you’re a Dolphins supporter right now, there’s definitely a lot to worry about, but the Jets have a lot to worry about in this game. I think we can take advantage of a positive matchup.”
The Dolphins are expected to start Jonotan Harrison at center due to a number of injuries on the offensive line. The veteran has played in 84 games in the NFL. However, he has not been seen in action for four years.
Enjoy the rest of Week 15 and sweat it out.
