SportsLine's advanced model has locked in its Week 15 NFL picks for every game on the NFL schedule

· CBS Sports

The NFL playoff picture comes into focus during the last month of the season, but as we enter Week 15, there are still 24 teams within one game of a playoff spot and only two teams have been mathematically eliminated. Two teams hanging onto playoff spots by a thread will go head-to-head on Sunday when the Green Bay Packers host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both teams are 6-7, with Tampa Bay holding onto first place in the NFC South on tiebreaker and Green Bay in the final NFC wild card spot. The Packers are 3-point home favorites in the Week 15 NFL odds, one of the tightest NFL spreads of the week.

Which side should you back in that crucial NFC matchup and which Week 15 NFL Vegas odds should you target as you place your NFL bets? All of the Week 15 NFL lines are listed below, and SportsLine's advanced computer model has all the NFL betting advice and NFL predictions you need to make the best Week 15 NFL picks now.

The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 15 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 176-129 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 30-21 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

Now, it has turned its attention to the latest Week 15 NFL odds and locked in picks for every NFL matchup. Head here to see every pick.

Top Week 15 NFL predictions

We can tell you one of the model's strongest Week 15 NFL picks is that the Browns (-3) cover at home against the Bears. The Browns snapped a two-game losing skid with a 31-27 victory over the Jaguars last week. Cleveland has now won six of its seven home games this season.

The Browns enter Sunday's showdown with the Bears averaging 131.0 rushing yards per game, which ranks seventh in the NFL. Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt form a dynamic partnership in Cleveland's backfield. Hunt has recorded seven rushing touchdowns since rejoining the Browns earlier this season, while Ford is averaging 4.2 yards per carry. In addition, the Bears are just 2-9 in their last 11 games on the road, a trend the model expects to continue on Sunday as the Browns cover the spread well over 60% of the time. See which other teams to pick here.

Another one of its Week 15 NFL predictions: The Seahawks (+4) cover the spread versus the Eagles. Both teams are trending in the wrong direction in the NFC, with the Seahawks losing four games in a row to fall out of the NFC playoff bracket and the Eagles suffering back-to-back blowouts against the Cowboys and 49ers to fall from first seed in the conference to fifth.

Seattle has also played San Francisco and Dallas in the last two weeks and looked like the more competitive team in the process. The Seahawks lost 28-16 on the road to the 49ers, while the Eagles lost 42-19 at home. Seattle also played the Cowboys tight on the road (41-35), while the Eagles were blasted 33-13 in Dallas. Geno Smith is recovering from a groin injury and has a chance to return after missing last week's loss to the 49ers, a big reason why the model has the Seahawks covering the spread in well over 50% of simulations. See which other teams to pick here.
