NFL Odds Week 15: Spreads You Should Steer Clear of

Sometimes, like in Week 15 of the NFL season, the odds just aren't very good and it's best to stay away. “Bettor beware” inherently comes with the territory, but these matchups and odds just aren’t good for you.

Here’s a breakdown of some spreads you should avoid during this weekend’s action.

They might look appealing initially for one reason or another, but you should resist the urge. All three of these matchups are toss-ups.

New York Jets at Tennessee Titans (-1)

If there is one thing both of these teams have been this season, it’s wildly inconsistent. One minute the Titans defense comes to life and the next it’s being burnt all afternoon for big gains.

The Jets are 3-2 against the spread on the road and the Titans are just 2-4 at covering while at home.

Throw in the spotlight of a Monday night game in Nashville and you have total unpredictability. It’s a situation that is truly a 50-50 proposition.

You can do better than those odds.

New York Giants at Atlanta Falcons (-1.5)

If you haven’t seen the wild ups and downs of these two top NFC teams, you’ve been missing out this season. When each is good, they’re really good. When they’re bad, they’re awful.

The Falcons are also just 3-3 against the spread at home while the Giants have posted the same record on the road this season.

One thing is certain: This game it too close to call and could go either way. Your money should be nowhere near it.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Dallas Cowboys (+1.5)

Dallas and Pittsburgh are both competing for playoff berths in the final weeks of the season. Despite each team’s success, both have been unpredictable at times this season.

Just when it looked like the Steelers were riding high after a win over Baltimore without Ben Roethlisberger, they dropped a crucial Week 14 game against San Diego with him behind center.

Pittsburgh is also just 3-4 against the spread while on the road this season. Dallas, on the other hand, hasn’t covered the spread even once at home this season.
