NFL tips: Our 13/2 four-fold for Week 15

11 Dec

The Tennessee Titans and Minnesota Vikings are among Jack Green's NFL tips for Sunday night's action.

Seattle Seahawks to beat Carolina Panthers (18:00)

The Seahawks lost to the Los Angeles Rams last week, but should bounce back against the free-falling Panthers.

Carolina fired head coach Ron Rivera after losing their fourth consecutive game against the Washington Redskins in Week 13, and that run continued with a 40-20 defeat to the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday.

The Panthers have struggled to stop the run all season, so they’re in for a long night against a Seattle offense that ranks third in the NFL in rushing yards.

Tennessee Titans to beat Houston Texans (18:00)

The Titans extended their winning streak to four games with a 42-21 thrashing of the Oakland Raiders last Sunday.

Led by red-hot quarterback Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee have now scored 31 points or more in four successive weeks, a run that also includes a 42-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Texans conceded 38 points against a Denver team led by rookie QB Drew Lock – making just his second career start – last week, so it’s hard to see them containing Tannehill and the Titans’ offense.

Minnesota Vikings to beat Los Angeles Chargers (21:05)

The Vikings are coming off a 20-7 win over the Detroit Lions, and another victory this weekend would make them near certainties for a playoff spot.

They should see off the Chargers, who comfortably beat the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars last week but had lost their previous three games.

Los Angeles have one of the weakest home-field advantages in the NFL, losing four of six games on their own turf this season.

Los Angeles Rams to beat Dallas Cowboys (21:05)

After a strong start to the season, the Cowboys have fallen off a cliff with four defeats in the last five weeks.

Dallas have lost three games in a row and their previously dynamic offense has stuttered, mustering just 16 points per game during that run.

They now face the Rams, who have fought back into playoff contention by winning five of their last seven, holding three of their last four opponents to under 13 points.
