Week 15 concludes with a Monday Night Football doubleheader featuring an NFC North showdown between Sam Darnold, Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings against Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears (8:00 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN+).

The Vikings (11-2) are currently second in the NFC North, but can still win it (+325 odds) and also have a chance to capture the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC if they can win (which would include the following). victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 17). Meanwhile, the Bears (4-9) would love nothing more than to spoil the Vikings’ division hopes.

In the second game of the evening (8:30 ET on ESPN), Kirk Cousins ​​​​and the Atlanta Falcons (6-7) look to bounce back against the Las Vegas Raiders (2-11), who are waiting for a top pick in the 2025 draft. While Cousins ​​has struggled in recent weeks with eight interceptions and no touchdowns in the last four games, the Raiders have been decimated by injuries, particularly at quarterback. Starter Gardner Minshew is on injured reserve with a broken collarbone and backup Aidan O’Connell is listed as questionable for Monday night with a bruised knee. If O’Connell is unable to play, Desmond Ridder would get the starting kickoff after throwing for 101 yards in relief during the Raiders’ Week 14 loss to the Buccaneers.

Eric Moody’s tips

Rome Odunze over 39.5 receiving yards (-130)

Odunze hasn’t reached that mark in three of his last five games, but he’s still averaging 7.4 goals per game. That’s solid target volume and he’s in great position against a Vikings defense, giving up the most yards per game to wide receivers. Additionally, Caleb Williams develops strong chemistry with Odunze, which is a great sign of his performance. And here’s an interesting statistic: Odunze has overcome this line in four of his last five away games. Everything is geared towards him delivering in this duel.

Kirk Cousins ​​over 0.5 interceptions thrown (-125)

Cousins ​​has struggled with eight interceptions and no touchdowns in the last four games. He has thrown a pick in seven of his last 10 games and is facing a Raiders defense that ranks sixth in pass-rush win percentage. Cousins ​​isn’t known for his mobility, and with Atlanta’s offensive line ranking 17th in pass block win rate, the Raiders have a great chance to force him into a poor decision. Don’t be surprised to see another interception from Cousins ​​this week.
