NFL Week 15 Matchups: Rookie Quarterback Gets His Chance to Shine in Atlanta

NFL-Leading Eagles Hope to Stay Perfect On Road

Dallas Hits Road to Face Improved Jaguars Squad

Another rookie quarterback is set to make his first career start as Atlanta’s Desmond Ridder will lead the Falcons against division rival New Orleans. That is just one of the Week 15 NFL matchups to watch.

It will be the best team in the NFC (Philadelphia) meeting the worst (Chicago) while Dallas looks to play much better against an AFC team with a losing record, than they did a week ago.This is the time of the year when one tough performance can alter playoff aspirations and the favorites will be looking to take care of business in Sunday’s early games airing on FOX. The Eagles (+450) are tied for second in the odds to win the Super Bowl with the Cowboys (+750) tied for fourth.

Game of the Week

Philadelphia Eagles vs Chicago Bears

Date & Time & Streaming:
Moneyline: Philadelphia -420, Chicago +330
Line: Philadelphia -10

This is listed as the game of the week in the NFL Week 15 matchups simply because of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Chicago (3-10) became the first NFC squad to be eliminated from playoff consideration. They are already without receiver Darnell Mooney for the rest of the NFL season, they traded away linebacker Roquan Smith and now there are concerns about quarterback Justin Fields so keep an eye on the NFL injury report Week 15.

The Eagles have the best record in the NFL as 12-1 and hold a two-game lead in both the NFC East and the race for the top seed in the NFC playoffs.

Philadelphia has won five games in a row against the Bears and the Eagles are the only team still undefeated on the road this season.

Other Games To Watch

Atlanta Falcons vs New Orleans Saints

Date & Time & Streaming:
Moneyline: Atlanta +170, New Orleans -200
Line: New Orleans -4

Rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder is set to make his first career start as Marcus Mariota is on injured reserve and that will be one of the games to look at in the Week 15 NFL matchups.

He won’t have injured tight end Kyle Pitts to throw to. Perhaps he has some chemistry with fellow rookie Drake London. London is coming off a season-high 95 receiving yards as the Falcons could have the leading passer, rusher (Tyler Allgeier) and receiver all being rookies.

Atlanta (5-8) is only a game out of first place in the dreadful NFC South with the Falcons playing host to the division-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the regular-season finale.

New Orleans (4-9) has lost five games in a row to fall into last place in the NFC South. Quarterback Andy Dalton has thrown one touchdown or less in seven of his 10 games despite the presence of star rookie receiver Chris Olave.

Even during a difficult season, New Orleans has covered in four of its last six games at home. They are facing an Atlanta team that is 1-6 against the NFL spreads in the last seven games.

Dallas Cowboys vs Jacksonville Jaguars

Date & Time & Streaming:
Moneyline: Dallas -210, Jacksonville +175
Line: Dallas -4

Dallas barely escaped with a victory over the one-win Houston Texans so expect them to be more focused on the task at hand when they meet Jacksonville.

The huge NFC East showdown with Philadelphia is coming up next week, but for that game to have meaning in the division race, Dallas (10-3) will need to pick up its fourth road win of the season.

Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott has three games with at least two interceptions this season and he will need to clean that up.

Running back Tony Pollard has slowed down a bit, but he still only needs 106 yards to hit the 1,000-yard mark. Dallas lost right offensive tackle Terence Steele to a season-ending knee injury.

Jacksonville (5-8) is only two games out of first place in the AFC South and they have a game remaining with the division-leading Tennessee Titans.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence is dealing with a toe injury. That didn’t stop him from throwing for 368 yards and three touchdowns in a win over Tennessee last week.

This is the first meeting between the teams since 2018 when Dallas won 40-7 as a three-point underdog.

The total has gone over in each of the last five games in the series.

The line opened with Dallas favored by six points and it has moved to -4. The total has gone from 45.5 to 48.
