The NFL Week 15 picks are getting spread over five days with as many primetime games. Finally, the playoff picture might clear somewhat.

As always, all odds are provided by our great partners at WynnBet.

9-4. 8-5. 13. KC -3.5. 8:20 p.m. ET. 124. FOX. Thursday, Dec. 16

The winner of this game has a great shot at the AFC’s No. 1 seed. The loser is likely going to be a wild card, and have a long road to the playoffs. Who wins? Tough call, but pick the trenches.

Pick: Kansas City 29, Los Angeles 22

6-7. 7-6. CLE -6. 28. NFLN. Saturday, Dec. 18. 53. 4:30 p.m. ET

The Browns have struggled along all year, but the Raiders look finished. Hard to see them winning on the road against a decent team.

Pick: Cleveland 26, Las Vegas 21

NFLN. Saturday, Dec. 18. 46. IND -2. 47. 7-6. 8:15 p.m. ET. 9-4

The Patriots have won seven straight and both teams are coming off a bye week. So why pick Indianapolis? The Colts are built a lot like the Pats, and can win the battle at the line.

Pick: Indianapolis 24, New England 20

4-9. 31. DAL -10.5. 9-4. 123. FOX. Sunday, Dec. 19. 1 p.m. ET

This should be a ritualistic killing. No team is begging for the offseason more than the Giants.

Pick: Dallas 31, New York 16

2-11. 10. 2-11. CBS. Sunday, Dec. 19. 52. JAX -3. 1 p.m. ET

I spoke too soon. Jacksonville is filing a federal injunction to end the season yesterday. What a disgrace Urban Meyer is.

Pick: Houston 19, Jacksonville 17

58. FOX. 6-7. 54. PHI -4.5. Sunday, Dec. 19. 1 p.m. ET. 6-7

The loser is basically out of the playoff race. The winner is in a very good position. Take the home team, with the better quarterback, coming off a bye week.

Pick: Philadelphia 27, Washington 23

CBS. Sunday, Dec. 19. 55. 1 p.m. ET. 9-4. 35. TEN -2. 6-6-1

The Titans are better, but they’re missing A.J. Brown and Derrick Henry. Look for Ryan Tannehill to be under pressure, Ben Roethlisberger to make a few throws, and Chris Boswell to be the difference.

Pick: Pittsburgh 17, Tennessee 15

30. 6-7. 59. Sunday, Dec. 19. MIA -8.5. 1 p.m. ET. 3-10. CBS

The Dolphins are going for a sixth straight win, and since they play the Jets at home, they’re going to get it.

Pick: Miami 30, New York 20

32. 50. FOX. Sunday, Dec. 19. 1-11-1. AZ -14. 1 p.m. ET. 10-3

Everyone in Detroit should call the police. This is going to be ugly.

Pick: Arizona 35, Detroit 13
