He has 11 touchdowns and no interceptions over his past four games. He threw for 288-plus yards in each of those contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C.J. Stroud has been much less impressive over that same timeframe. He has a 4:5 TD-to-INT ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll take the underdog price tag on the side with all the momentum heading into Week 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Miami is 4-1 over its past five games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fa134a48-a478-432b-95e0-66881f0d337b\">Week 15 upset predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Colts moneyline (+180):<\/strong> I don&#8217;t feel as bullish about picking Anthony Richardson and the Colts, but they have been competitive in most games this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indianapolis has only lost three games by more than a touchdown, and those outings were against some of the league&#8217;s best squads (Lions, Bills, Vikings).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Detroit, Buffalo and Minnesota have combined for just six losses this entire season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Richardson continues to be the least accurate QB in the NFL but his duel-threat ability has been enough to make up for it on most occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos continue to improve as the season goes on but something about this screams &#8220;trap game&#8221; to me<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denver&#8217;s defence is fresh off allowing Jameis Winston to throw for 497 yards and four touchdowns.
