Situational handicapping really grows claws in the home stretch of the season, with playoff pressures mounting, motivation sometimes a mess, and the long schedule wearing on teams as we head into the NFL Week 15 odds.
I comb through this week’s slate of NFL betting matchups and single out my best situational capping angles — also known as spot bets — to keep in mind before placing your wagers this week. Here are my top letdown, look ahead, and schedule spots.

Don’t look now, but the Cleveland Browns are one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Powered by the indomitable Joe Flacco, Cleveland can clinch a playoff bid this evening with a win against the New York Jets, the same team that kicked him to the curb a season ago. It’s the kind of scenario straight out of a Disney movie, and football fans can watch it unfold in real time on Thursday Night Football.
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game, you can also live stream Jets vs. Browns directly from legal sports betting sites.

My best betAustin Ekeler Over 48.5 rushing + receiving yards (-115 at BetMGM)
My analysis
Juventus dropped their first points of the season under new head coach Thiago Motta as they were held to a 0-0 draw against Roma at the Allianz Stadium.
In an encounter devoid of clear-cut chances, Daniele De Rossi s side defended astutely to claim their second point of the campaign after their defeat to Empoli last week.
Dusan Vlahovic was presented with the clearest sight of goal, but the Serbian striker saw his effort thwarted by the palms of Mile Svilar.
The fixture in Turin saw just one shot from either side on target, with Juventus expected goals (xG) total of 0.47 only slightly bettering their opponents 0.37.
Heading into the international break, Juventus sit second in the early-season standings behind Inter, meanwhile Roma move out of the botto…
Finally, 2020 is history there won t be many people who aren t happy to see the back of a difficult year.
While the coronavirus pandemic shows no sign of making a swift exit, the turn of the year at least gives us the chance to look forward, and the same is true in the world of sport.
2020 saw many promising young players make the step up, some undoubtedly down to the absences caused by coronavirus or the packed schedule that the pandemic has led to.
We ve picked out 21 under-21 players to keep an eye on in 2021 and while you may already be familiar with some of them, there s good reason to give them your attention this year

Youngster Tony Watt fires home the decisive goal for Celtic in their 2-1 defeat of Barcelona at Celtic Park
The big story in the Champions League on Wednesday night was Celtic’s excellent 2-1 victory over Spanish giants Barcelona at Celtic Park.
The victory was made even more extraordinary by the fact that Celtic were missing key players Scott Brown and Gary Hooper.
Celtic took the lead on 21 minutes. Charlie Mulgrew fired in a corner and Kenyan midfielder Victor Wanyama got above Jordi Alba to head past Victor Valdes.
Barcelona kept going and were denied on numerous occasions by Celtic keeper Fraser Forster.
Celtic withstood a barrage from Barca and hit a second goal in the 83rd minute. Teenage substitute Tony Watt broke clear of the Barcelona…
Former England forward Rachel Yankey has warned that the Lionesses’ World Cup opponents will all want to be the side that eliminates the European champions when the tournament kicks off in Australia and New Zealand.
Sarina Wiegman’s team are amongst the favourites as they seek to become the first England side to win a world title since 1966, particularly following last summer’s Euro 2022 success on home soil.
They fly out this evening to begin preparations for their opening match against Haiti and will be sent on their way by a message of support displayed beneath the flightpath out of Heathrow reading “Lionesses, you’re our pride.”
The gesture, arranged by the Football Association’s commercial partner Kind Snacks, is tagged with thousands of messag…
The final game of the regular season gives us a win-and-in as both the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders will look to advance to the playoffs. Both teams are healthy and points are expected to be scored on the fast track of the Death Star.

The final Thursday night game of the season features the 10-point favorite Dallas Cowboys traveling to Nashville to take on Malik Willis and the Tennessee Titans. The home side has nothing to play for this week, as its Week 18 matchup with the Jaguars will determine the AFC South winner.
Because of this, bettors won’t be seeing many player prop markets open early, if at all. But fear not, there is still some value out there in the touchdown market, and I have a +3,300 banger that I absolutely love Thursday night.
Here are my player prop picks for Thursday Night Football’s battle between the Cowboys and Titans.

It’s the final stretch of the holiday season and my resolution this year is to be up over 15 units with NFL player prop touchdown markets which, with Week 17’s odds, shouldn’t be a problem as I’m at +9.4 units heading into Sunday.
Coming off a two-TD week, I’m turning my betting sights on an incredible price for a 20-touch running back, betting a +500 revenge angle, and splitting a single unit up on a pair of New England pass-catchers in a match where the game script is key.
Here are my three best NFL picks exclusively for the anytime touchdown market.
