If there was any reason why an 18-game schedule should be opposed by the NFL owners it’s the health of their players, especially the quarterbacks. Potentially 12 teams could be starting a player at quarterback who was one of the backups when the season began. Nineteen teams in total have used more than one quarterback this season.
Some of the changes have to deal with inadequacy, but still it has been a revolving door at the position this year, more so than in any year in recent memory. Now Week 15, some of those changes come at the most crucial times in playoff races.
Green Bay without Aaron Rodgers and Kansas City without Matt Cassel are two real possibilities this week, and it’s hard to imagine their backups picking up the slack.
Here are the Week 15 picks, home team listed in all caps, the predicted winner listed first.
SAN DIEGO over San Francisco (Picked on Twitter on Thursday)
