Pilfo's Parlay Week 15
December 17th 2010 - Pilfo             

Miami - 5.5 / NY Jets +6 / Chicago - 3

The Dolphins are still in the playoff hunt, or so they are telling people, with a much improved defense and a little improved offense. The Bills lose Lee Evans for the year and ever since Steve Johnson dropped that ball in the end zone which was the game winner...well we haven't seen a good performance by Johnson since then. Without Evans on the field the Bills passing game will be easy to stop. The Dolphin pass rush is respectable so the Bills will probably waste the entire first half trying to run the ball and by the time they realize the running game isn't working they will be down 17-0 and the rest will be history.
Prediction: Dolphins 27-10

The Jets and the Steelers will come out with conservative game plans. The Steelers to protect Ben's injuries and the Jets....well any other game plan just hasn't worked lately. I expect a lot of running in this game which means the clock will be moving and this will keep the game close.
Prediction: Steelers 10-9

The Vikings and Leslie Frazier are in a lot of trouble this week. No quarterback, Adrian Peterson banged up, Harvin, who knows, banged up offensive line, no stadium, and the list goes on. The Bears will put 8 in the box to stop the run and dare the Vikes to pass. This game plan will work. The Bears defense will give their offense the ball with good field position all night. Cutler works much better with a short field. This game will get ugly.
Prediction: Bears 35-7
