The Week 15 schedule is ready to rock, and the NFL picks are in from the FanSided staff. Needless to say, nobody is picking the Browns.

It’s the heart of December, and that means the playoff races in the NFL are completely out of control. Thanks to the league scheduling the bulk of division games toward the back end of the docket, there is all kinds of insanity breaking out over the final three weeks.

The Week 15 schedule starts with an inter-division game, although the Los Angeles Rams visiting the Seattle Seahawks isn’t exactly a thriller. Seattle should win, something we all expect to happen. Let’s look at all of our picks, with the warning that Tyler Brooke’s picks are something out of a horror show this season.

As you can see, there are plenty of games this week that we picked clean sweeps in. The Chiefs, Falcons, Steelers, Bills, Seahawks, Packers and Texans are getting nine votes to improve their marks. Meanwhile, the Jets, Broncos, Chargers and Panthers are only getting a single vote of confidence.

Josh Hill is leading our standings board, while Kayla Knierim and Mike Dyce are lined up for the silver and bronze, respectively.
