NFL Week 15 parlay picks, betting odds and predictions
There are only three weeks left in the NFL regular season and the playoff races are taking shape. Check out our three-leg parlay pick for Week 15, with odds from BP’s top-ranked NFL betting sites.
Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
Line: Packers -4.5
O/U: 41
The Chicago Bears have won three in a row, but it may be a little late. They are three games back of the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North and two games behind the Minnesota Vikings for the last NFC Wild Card. They have a killer remaining schedule, as after the trip to Lambeau they host the Kansas City Chiefs and then finish with a road trip to Minnesota.
The Packers can clinch a playoff spot with a win in this game. They have won two in a row and three of their last four games. Green Bay beat Chicago 10-3 in their first fixture of the season and hold a 13-5 ATS record in their last 18 games against the Bears.

The Bears only rank 28th in passing yards per game and 29th in rushing yards per game. However, they rushed for 151 yards as they beat the Dallas Cowboys 31-24 in their last outing, with QB Michell Trubisky passing for three touchdowns and running another.
Green Bay were not overly impressive in their last game, which was a 20-15 home win over the Washington Redskins. The Packers have only faced one team that currently has a winning record in their last five games, and they were crushed by the San Francisco 49ers.
The Bears will keep this game competitive for a while, but Aaron Rodgers will come through at home as Green Bay win and cover the spread.
PICK: Packers -4.5 @ -111.11 with Bovada
Buffalo Bills at Pittsburgh Steelers
Line: Steelers -2
O/U: 36.5
If the season ended today, these would be the two AFC Wild Card teams.
The Buffalo Bills had their three-game winning streak snapped in a 24-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens where they only gained 209 total yards. In the AFC East standings they are one game back of the New England Patriots, who they lost to earlier this season and play on the road in their next game.
Buffalo are led by a solid defense and a run game that ranks fifth in the league, averaging 135.3 rushing yards per game.
The 8-5 Pittsburgh Steelers hold the last AFC Wild Card on tiebreakers, as both the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans, who face each other this week, are at also at 8-5.
Pittsburgh have won three in a row even though their offense only ranks 31st in passing yards per game and tied-24th in rushing yards per game. However, they have enjoyed solid play from third-string QB Devlin Hodges and their defense has only given up 13.3 ppg in their last three games.
The Steelers have covered the spread in five of their last six games facing the Bills. Look for that trend to continue in a low-scoring defensive battle. Pittsburgh will get it done at home, winning and covering the spread.
PICK: Steelers -2 @ -111.11 with Bovada
Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Chargers
Line: Vikings -2.5
O/U: 44.5
The Minnesota Vikings have won three of their last four games and hold the sixth and final NFC Wild Card. They have a balanced offense that ranks sixth in the league in points per game.
Vikings QB Kirk Cousins has 11 touchdowns and one interception in his last five games and RB Dalvin Cook ranks fourth in the NFL in rushing yards. Cook has struggled in his last three games, however, and faces a Chargers defense that held the Jacksonville Jaguars to only 88 rushing yards in their last game.

The Chargers have been one of the biggest disappointments this season at 5-8, as many pegged them as Super Bowl contenders after winning 12 games last season. They snapped their three-game losing streak last time out with a 45-10 beatdown on the Jaguars.
Chargers QB Phillip Rivers has played well in the last two games, but on the season he only ranks 23rd in QBR and has 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
The Vikings are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games facing a team with a losing record. They will improve on that record this Sunday against the Chargers, who are only 2-4 at home this season.
PICK: Vikings -2.5 @ -111.11 with Bovada
