Buccaneers vs Chargers NFL Week 15 Picks
1. Los Angeles Chargers ML (-150)
It has been a strange road slate for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After almost winning on the road against the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, the Buccaneers played two of the worst teams in the NFL with road wins against the New York Giants and the Carolina Panthers.
It took a fumble recovery in overtime to give the Buccaneers the chance to beat the Panthers. The Chargers could prove to be a tougher test. There are plenty of injury concerns with the Chargers but we still like them to take care of business on the strength of a defense that has allowed an NFL-low 207 points this season.

2. Buccaneers vs Chargers Under 45.5
Tampa Bay has been in some entertaining games this season with eight of their 13 games having more than 46 combined points scored. The Buccaneers have managed 24 and 23 points in the last two games they have lost and the Chargers are a better defensive team than either the San Francisco 49ers or the Kansas City Chiefs.
Jim Harbaugh has the Chargers in position to make the playoffs in his first season as the head coach after guiding Michigan to the national championship and an undefeated season.
Already down a top running back and questions surrounding Herbert and top receiver Ladd McConkey, the Chargers may be even more conservative in their play calling on Sunday.
When making Week 15 NFL predictions, take this game to land under 45.5 points.
Bet Buccaneers vs Chargers Under 45½
3. First Score Not to Be a Touchdown (+110)
This game features two of the NFL’s best kickers. Tampa Bay’s Chase McLaughlin is 21-for-23 on field goals with the two misses from beyond 50 yards. Cameron Dicker of the Chargers is 11-for-11 on field goals over his last five games.
This is the type of game when getting points out of every quality drive could be crucial so go with the first score of the game not being a touchdown as either McLaughlin or Dicker could be called upon early to open the scoring with a field goal.
When making Week 15 NFL prop bets, go with the +110 odds for the first score of the game not to be a touchdown.
