Philip G. Pavely-USA TODAY Sports

Week 15 of the NFL kicks off with a bang as we’ll see the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs battle for the top spot in the AFC West. Here’s a closer look at the look-ahead line for that game and all of the others for Week 15.

Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs

Look-ahead Line: Chiefs -4

The Chargers-Chiefs matchup will be one of the headliners of Week 15. The Chargers can pull into a tie atop the AFC West with a win.

Houston Texans at New York Jets

Look-ahead Line: Texans -7

The Texans have won nine in a row and their soft schedule continues with a visit to the hapless Jets. New York has lost six in a row entering Week 14.

Cleveland Browns at Denver Broncos

Look-ahead Line: Broncos -6

The Broncos are one win behind the teams vying for the sixth seed in the AFC playoff picture, so this is an important game for them.

Miami Dolphins at Minnesota Vikings

Look-ahead Line: Vikings -8.5

The Dolphins and Vikings are both hanging onto their playoff lives in each respective wild card race. The Dolphins are 5-1 at home this year, but 1-5 in away games.

Oakland Raiders at Cincinnati Bengals

Look-ahead Line: Bengals -4.5

This will be one of the ugly games of Week 15 but with the Bengals starting a backup quarterback, it might be one of Oakland’s last chances to win a game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Baltimore Ravens

Look-ahead Line: Ravens -7

The Ravens have been on a roll of late. The Bucs, who have one of the worst defenses in the NFL, probably won’t be able to slow them down.

Dallas Cowboys at Indianapolis Colts

Look-ahead Line: Pick’em

The Colts had been on a roll before getting shut out in Jacksonville. They can’t afford to lose anymore games if they hope to make the playoffs.

Detroit Lions at Buffalo Bills

Look-ahead Line: Pick’em

The Bills have been tough at home in games that Josh Allen has started. They should have an edge against the Lions, who are a dome team that will have to play in the cold.

Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears

Look-ahead Line: Bears -6

The Packers stunned the Bears in Week 1 with an incredible second half comeback. The two teams have headed in opposite directions ever since as the Packers are flailing, while the Bears are atop the NFC North.

Tennessee Titans at New York Giants

Look-ahead Line: Giants -1.5

The Giants have been playing better over the last month. Now they’ll face a streaky Titans team, that is tough to handicap.

Washington Redskins at Jacksonville Jaguars

Look-ahead Line: Jaguars -6.5

These two teams started well in September but have faded ever since. Little is on the line in this Mark Sanchez-Cody Kessler showdown.

Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons

Look-ahead Line: Falcons -7.5

The Falcons have been slipping down the standings over the last few months. A loss here might put head coach Dan Quinn on the hot seat.

Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers

Look-ahead Line: Seahawks -7

The Seahawks stomped the 49ers last week. Now they’ll visit the Bay Area for the teams’ second meeting in three weeks.

New England Patriots at Pittsburgh Steelers

Look-ahead Line: Steelers -1.5

The Patriots-Steelers showdown will be a critical one as the two teams are fighting for the No. 2 playoff seed and a bye.

Philadelphia Eagles at Los Angeles Rams

Look-ahead Line: Rams -7.5

The Eagles beat the Rams in the first round of the playoffs last year. The Rams will look for some revenge as they try to put a huge damper in Philadelphia’s playoff hopes for this year.

New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers

Look-ahead Line: Saints -6.5

The Panthers looked like they were a playoff contender a month ago, but a four-game losing streak has them reeling. While these two teams are typically closely matched, the Saints are a touchdown favorite in Carolina.
