Staff makes Week 15 picks in stretch run of NFL regular season

December 11, 2019

 

Some changes resulted in the standings after the records were compiled in the Eastern Sports staff NFL picks in Week 14. What hasn’t changed is Marc Calnan continues to lead the contest with a strong 12-4 week. Chris Lessner jumped three other pickers and tied Calnan for the best record of the week at 12-4, now sitting second overall. Cassidy Lessner (6-10) is now third, three games behind her Dad and 10 off Calnans pace. Jeff Hoak (7-9) will need a big rally if he is to become a three time champion, now 11 behind. Anthony DelMonaco (7-9) is now in the basement trailing Calnan by 12 games. The bigger games in Week 15 feature a divisional showdown in Tennessee between the Titans and Houston Texans, an NFC matchup with playoff implications for both teams in Dallas between the Cowboys and Los Los Angeles Rams, and another good AFC matchup as the Buffalo Bills visit the Pittsburgh Steelers. Here are last weeks results/season standings and then the Week 15 projections:

 

Marc 12-4/134-73

Chris 12-4/127-80/-7

Cassidy 6-10/124-83/-10

Jeff 7-9/123-84/-11

Anthony 7-9/122-85/-12
