NFL Picks Against the Spread (ATS) for Week 15
Since it's getting close to Christmas, perhaps it's fitting to say that big point spreads for NFL games have been like the Grinch this season. Last week, Dallas was a 17-point favorite at home against Houston and didn't cover. In fact, the Cowboys needed a touchdown with less than a minute left to avoid losing outright.

So which oversized "gift" should bettors be wary of in Week 15? Kansas City will be the largest favorite on the board against, you guessed it, those same Texans. Philadelphia isn't expected to have much trouble with Chicago on the road either while Buffalo favored by more than a touchdown on Saturday against a Miami team that beat the Bills earlier this season could raise a few eyebrows.
