Here are another week of predictions for the NFL. Last week saw a few different surprises take place, which caused a little bit of struggles for some of us. Jessica finishes 7-9, but will be looking to make it up a big way this week. We probably shouldn't have any doubt she will considering her high level of awesomeness as it relates to football knowledge.
Meanwhile, yours truly was 4-0 with his upset picks after the Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers all won.
On the other hand, Nick had a solid week and remains in second place. He was just over .500 at 9-7 and figures to be a key player down the stretch. Here is a look at where we stand heading into Week 15.
Standings
Vincent Frank: 22-9

Nick's Take
Philadelphia Eagles: Nick Foles was good last week and the Cincinnati Bengals have struggled against the Dallas Cowboys last week.
Houston Texans: I like the Texans at home here. They’ll bounce back just fine from their shellacking last week at the hands of the New England Patriots.
New York Giants: The Atlanta Falcons Falcons are struggling and the Giants did everything right on offense against the New Orleans Saints last week.
New Orleans Saints: Drew Brees will take full advantage of an awful Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass defense, which is ranked dead last.
Minnesota Vikings: Last week was a big statement win against the Chicago Bears. They should continue to feed the ball to an unstoppable Adrian Peterson.
Green Bay Packers: Jay Cutler will likely be at less than 100 percent, even if he plays. Additionally, the Bears have been playing very poorly as of late.
Denver Broncos: The Baltimore Ravens were better last week against Washington, but are still struggling. Peyton Manning and Knowshon Moreno will both have a good game.
Miami Dolphins: I really wanted to take Chad Henne and Co., but I think Ryan Tannehill and Miami will pull this one off at home.
Cleveland Browns: This was the hardest pick this week for me. With the chance of Robert Griffin III not playing, or being hampered with a bulky knee; I think Brandon Weeden, Trent Richardson and the Browns will win their fourth straight game.
Seattle Seahawks: Seattle doesn’t play as well on the road as the do at home, but how can you not take them after scoring 58 last week?
Carolina Panthers: Cam Newton seems to have finally broken out of his “sophomore slump” and is playing very well as of late. San Diego will find a way to screw things up, as always.
Detroit Lions: Detroit almost beat the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau last week, and the Diamondbacks have won more recently than the Cardinals.
Oakland Raiders: Two really bad teams going head-to-head here. Home field advantage wins the game for the Raiders.
Dallas Cowboys: Dallas played well against the Cincinnati Bengals last week. Plus, the Steelers lost to the Chargers, so I have to go with the Cowboys at home.
New England Patriots: Game of the week. Going to be a great game to watch, but Tom Brady hasn’t lost at home in December since 2003, and that streak isn’t going to stop this week.
Tennessee Titans: Tennessee played well on the road against the Indianapolis Colts last week, and the New York Jets are just awful. Titans will win this sure-to-be ugly game.
Jessica's Take
Cincinnati Bengals: For some reason the joke is “I love gingers.” I don’t necessarily love gingers, but I do like Andy Dalton to win this game. He is pretty consistent week to week and I don’t anticipate that changing when he faces the Philadelphia Eagles.
New York Giants: This one was a tough call, but then I laughed when I told myself that. Eli Manning has been on a tear, and with him teaming up with Victor Cruz, it should be a tough game against Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons, but I see New York with a win this week.
Green Bay Packers: Usually I would give you the spill about home team advantage, but not this time. Aaron Rodgers is a stud, and the Packers will win, by a lot.
Washington Redskins: RGIII and company will win this game. They are .500 on the road, and Cleveland, is, well Cleveland.
Minnesota Vikings: Two words: Adrian Peterson. When you have him up against a lenient team like the Rams, it will be a victory for the Vikings.
Jacksonville Jaguars: I like Jacksonville to win this game. I have done more on the football field than Reggie Bush has. Jacksonville will walk all over the Miami Dolphins and win this one.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: We are all anticipating this game. Drew Brees and Josh Freeman is a hell of a matchup. Brees is due to say the least, but I don’t anticipate him doing better than Freeman. It will be a great game, but the Bucs will ultimately come out with a victory.
Denver Broncos: Insert Cam Cameron joke here. With a lot of injuries and another idiot getting in trouble for PED’s, the Broncos have a good shot at taking the win this week. It helps their chances with Peyton Manning on their side. We all know about Manning. Denver for the win. As much as it pains me to say that.
Indianapolis Colts: Houston definitely had a problem last week, and I do not see them doing great things against Indianapolis this week. Even though Arian Foster will probably have a solid game as usual, Indy will put out a win.
Buffalo Bills: Seattle probably has an ego boost going into this game, and you can’t really blame them. Although, with C.J. Spiller doing his thing, I still love Buffalo winning this game.
Detroit Lions: Arizona is coming back from an extremely tough beating last week (that’s the nice way of saying it) hopefully they can pull out a high scoring game (or anything more than a goose-egg) Detroit should win this one pretty easily.
Carolina Panthers: Cam Newton is such a stud. He will carry Carolina into a victory over San Diego.
Dallas Cowboys: Big Ben is back, for those of you who care. However, even bringing a new child into this world cannot make you defeat Dallas. Even though Dez Bryant’s health is up in the air, I don’t see Pittsburgh making it passed Dallas this week. Win for Dallas
Oakland Raiders: I really hope Oakland can pull this one out. They need a win so terribly badly. I’m pulling for Oakland. Let’s hope Carson Palmer is on his game this week.
New England Patriots: You all know I’m a huge Colin Kaepernick fan, and one of my favorite things to do is roll my eyes at the Patriots, however I do feel the Patriots will win this one. They are such a good team, plus it is in Foxboro, Tom Brady will lead the team to another victory.
New York Jets: Monday Night Football will be interesting this week. I don’t expect a Tennessee win. I’m hoping Mark Sanchez and Shonn Greene take a win.
Vincent's Take
Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals need to bounce back from their loss to the Dallas Cowboys last week. If not, they're pretty much out of the playoff race. Additionally, the Philadelphia Eagles don't have a whole heck of a lot to play for here.
New York Giants: The Atlanta Falcons have been riding a slippery slope as of late, and it came back to haunt them last week against a lowly Carolina Panthers team. I don't see Matt Ryan and company rebounding against a suddenly streaking Giants team.
Green Bay Packers: I want to pick the Chicago Bears at home, but can't do it with the myriad of injury issues they have. ##Jay Cutler should play and protect Soldier Field from a Packers clinch.
Cleveland Browns: They have won four consecutive games for the first time since 2009. I fully expect Cleveland to keep its success going against the Washington Redskins, who struggle guarding against the pass on the outside. Expect a big game from Brandon Weeden and Josh Gordon.
Minnesota Vikings: Adrian Peterson has just 50 less rushing yards in his last seven games as Arian Foster has all season. He has also put up solid production against good rush defenses. I see Minnesota controlling the clock in a must win game for both the Vikings and St. Louis Rams.
Miami Dolphins: Despite a 5-8 record, Miami is a pretty decent team. It goes up against a Jacksonville Jaguars squad that leaves a lot to be desired and has only won two games all season.
New Orleans Saints: While I am anticipating big performances from Josh Freeman and Doug Martin here, I expect the Saints to win what is going to be a high-scoring affair.
Denver Broncos: This game shouldn't even be that close. The Baltimore Ravens have lost two games in a row and struggle against the pass on defense. Peyton Manning has just been ridiculous this season. Expect a big win by Denver here.
Indianapolis Colts: I am NOT going to pick against the Colts for the remainder of the regular season because the minute I do they will continue to win. The Houston Texans aren't playing close to good football as of late. Look for an upset win by Andrew Luck and company.
Buffalo Bills: Despite winning on the road against a free-falling Chicago Bears team two weeks ago, the Seattle Seahawks have struggled away from home under Pete Carroll. I expect C.J. Spiller to get his groove on and slow down a streaking Seahawks team.
Detroit Lions: If Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson don't put up 40 points in a whitewashing of the disaster that is the Arizona Cardinals, I will be shocked.
San Diego Chargers: As evidenced by their victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, Philip Rivers and company play their best ball in December. While Cam Newton has been on fire recently, I expect San Diego to grab a second straight win.
Dallas Cowboys: Picking Dallas here has less to do with their recent tragedy and more to do with the play of Tony Romo recently. He seems to be in one of those grooves. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers just don't seem to be anywhere near the team we have seen in recent seasons.
Oakland Raiders: Can I pick a tie here? Oakland taking on the Kansas City Chiefs is nothing more than a toilet bowl. I will just go with the home team.
New England Patriots: The San Francisco 49ers get up against their toughest opponents and Colin Kaepernick continues to play some damn nifty football. While I envision a really close game, New England takes it. After all, when was the last time Tom Brady lost at home in December?
Tennessee Titans: While the New York Jets are still in the playoff race, I just don't trust Mark Sanchez enough to pick him in this one. On another note, this is really a Monday Night Football Game?
