NFL Week 15 Picks From the MMQB Staff: Patriots Can Clinch AFC East Against Bills

It’s Week 15! Four weeks remain in this bizarro regular season, with Clare Brennan: Panthers, Gilberto Manzano: 49ers the coaching market or the draft’s quarterback prospects … and Philip Rivers is back in the league!

The Patriots can clinch the AFC East—and quiet some of the doubters who have complained about their schedule—with a win over the Bills in Foxborough. Our panel is split down the middle on that game. Over in the NFC, Matthew Stafford will face his former team in a big game for both the Rams and Lions. The Rams will try to keep pace with the Seahawks atop the NFC West, while Detroit is fighting to get back into wild-card position. In a key interconference game, the 11–2 Broncos lead the AFC, but will be underdogs when they welcome the NFC North–leading Packers to Denver.
