2024 NFL Week 15 MNF Preview

After Sunday’s action Jan Key is now dead even for the season with a 54-54 record. The fight for the playoffs continues on Monday night with the Vikings taking on the Bears and the Falcons up against the Raiders. Check out Jan’s 2024 NFL Week 15 MNF picks below.

Chicago Bears (4-9) @ Minnesota Vikings (11-2)

Vegas Lines: Minnesota Vikings -7; Total Points: 43.5

Jan Keys’ Ratings: Minnesota Vikings -8.1; Total Points: 44.5

Last week’s Results

Minnesota Vikings 42 – Atlanta Vikings 21; San Francisco 49ers 38 – Chicago Bears 13

Offensive And Defensive Averages

Vikings: Average Total Yards (Off/Def) 351-338; Passing 238-251; Rushing 113-187.

Bears: Average Total Yards 289-353; Passing 183-218; Rushing 106-135.

Projected Totals: Minnesota 352 – Pass 228, Rush 124; Chicago 313 – Pass 217, Rush 96.

The Minnesota Vikings are on a six game winning streak and can still be seeded Number One in the playoffs as they still have to play all three divisional rivals. Personally, I don’t believe the Vikings are as good as the Lions or the Packers and are probably punching above their weight with an 11-2 record this season. However, this should be a shoo-in match for them.

Chicago Bears were terrible last week in San Francisco. They just didn’t turn up for a game in which the 49ers were there for the taking. Chicago last week had just 94 passing and 64 rushing yards. It just hasn’t been happening for Rookie QB Caleb Williams and this offensive line. I expect the Bears to lose their final 4 matches of the season.

2024 NFL Week 15 MNF Pick: No Bet

Prop lines

Sam Darnold (Vikings) – 254.5

Caleb Williams (Bears) – 222.5

Rushing Yards

Aaron Jones (Vik) 62.5; Sam Darnold (Vik) 12.5

D’Andre Swift (Bea) 50.5; Caleb Williams (Bea) 25.5

Receiving Yards

Justin Jefferson (Vik) 81.5; Jordan Addison (Vik) 53.5; TJ Hockenson (Vik) 40.5

DJ Moore (Bea) 57.5; Rome Odunze (Bea) 41.5; Keenan Allen (Bea) 50.5

Caleb Williams’ rushing yards so far – 15, 44, 8, 12, 34, 56, 41, 5, 15, 70, 33, 39, 27. 

He has gone over the line eight times and has been under five times. Williams has gone Over 25.5 in his last four matches plus main rusher D’Andre Swift is carrying a groin injury. This should mean Williams will get an extra load so I’m backing him to have over 25.5 rushing yards.

2024 NFL Week 15 MNF Pick: CALEB WILLIAMS OVER 25.5 YARDS RUSHING @ 10/11

Jordan Addison receiving numbers so far: 35, DNP, DNP, 72, 36, 66, 22, 42, 25, 61, 162, 54, 133.

In total, he has gone over the line six times and under five. Addison has been in great form recently, going over 53.5 in his last four matches and twice going over 100 receiving yards. Hopefully he’ll have another big game tonight.

2024 NFL Week 15 MNF Pick: JORDAN ADDISON OVER 53.5 YARDS RECEIVING @ 5/6

Atlanta Falcons (6-7) @ Las Vegas Raiders (2-11)

Vegas Lines: Atlanta Falcons -5.5; Total Points: 44.5

Jan Keys’ Ratings: Las Vegas Raiders -1.3; Total Points: 47.3

Last week’s Results

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28 – Las Vegas Raiders 13; Minnesota Vikings 42 – Atlanta Falcons 21.

Offensive And Defensive Averages

Raiders: Average Total Yards (Off/Def) 303-335; Passing 224-217; Rushing 79-118.

Falcons: Average Total Yards 371-351; Passing 250-229; Rushing 121-122.

Projected Totals: Las Vegas 327 – Pass 227, Rush 100; Atlanta 353 – Pass 233, Rush 120.

Las Vegas have lost their last nine matches and the only real notable good bit of form is running Kansas City close in a 19-17 defeat. Obviously, the season is over for Las Vegas and they’re going through the motions.

Atlanta have lost four on the spin and still have a chance of topping their Division. If they win here then they are only half a game behind Tampa Bay, so this is a big game for the Falcons. I’m going to tip Atlanta here simply because they have every chance of making the playoffs and the Raiders’ QB is struggling for fitness.

2024 NFL Week 15 MNF Pick: Atlanta Falcons -5.5 @ 10/11

Prop lines

Aidan O’Connell (LV) No line as questionable to start

Kirk Cousins (ATL) 239.5

Rushing Yards

S McCormick (LV) 54.5

B Robinson (ATL) 81.5

Receiving Yards

J Meyers (LV) 62.5; T Tucker (LV) 23.5; M Mayer (LV) 17.5

D London (ATL) 66.5; D Mooney (ATL) 48.5; R McCloud (ATL) 37.5

Michael Mayer has only played four matches this season and after a quiet first three matches, last week he received the ball seven times for 68 yards and was the top receiver. Hopefully, he will make himself available again tonight.

2024 NFL Week 15 MNF Pick: Michael Mayer OVER 17.5 yards receiving @ 5/6
