NFL underdog predictions: Week 15

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access Paste BN Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 11 a.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET unless noted.

JETS +8.5 (-110) at Dolphins – 1 p.m. (CBS)

The Jets have allowed only 19 points combined in their last 2 games. They will have a different challenge with the Dolphins, who are 2nd in the NFL in scoring at 31.6 points per game (PPG).

The Jets also put up 30 points in the 2nd half of their win over the Houston Texans last week. QB Zach Wilson had over 300 passing yards and 2 TD passes. It snapped a streak of 6 consecutive games scoring 13 or fewer points.

If Wilson avoids turning the ball over, especially since the Dolphins have a defensive touchdown in back-to-back outings, this should be a 1-score game.

GIANTS +6 (-110) at Saints – 1 p.m. (FOX)

The Saints snapped a 3-game losing streak with a 28-6 win over the Carolina Panthers. However, in their previous 7 outings, they had allowed 25.6 PPG.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito, the reigning NFC Offensive Player of the Week, has a total of 5 TD passes over his last 3 starts.

Their defense has not allowed an opponent to reach 20 points in 5 of their last 8 games.

COWBOYS (+110) at Bills – 4:25 p.m. (FOX)

The Cowboys are only 3-3 on the road this season but have won 5 straight overall, scoring an average of 40.1 PPG during the streak and 33 or more in each game.

They have held opponents to 20 or fewer points in 4 of their last 5 games and in 7 of their last 10.

The Bills are 5-1 at home and have scored over 30 in 2 of their last 3 games, but they lost 37-34 to the Philadelphia Eagles, who lost to the Cowboys last week.
