There are just three weeks left to go in the NFL regular seasons, and the teams are still battling it out for their spots in the playoffs. BetUS has the odds.

The playoff race is really heating up as the weeks dwindle away. Here’s a quick look at some of the matchups scheduled to go off in Week 15.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19
Dallas Cowboys v New Orleans Saints
The Saints will be continuing their quest for the perfect season by hosting a desperate Dallas team in New Orleans. Unfortunately for Dallas, it looks like their season is going to continue to slide with another loss in the upcoming week. New Orleans’ only weak spot is stopping the run and Dallas has no running game to speak of. Tony Romo should be able to keep the Boys in contention, as he has been performing well in recent weeks, but it looks like this is going to be yet another win for the Saints.    

Pointspread
Cowboys: +7 -110
Saints: -7 -110

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20
Green Bay Packers v Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers suffered a crushing blow last week, falling to the Browns – one of the worst teams in the NFL. Plus, it was another divisional loss, which will be costly. They’ll be facing a much tougher team in the Packers, but maybe the home field will give them some much-needed motivation. The Packers are in search of their tenth win of the season that should secure a wild card spot. Expect them to pull out all the stops to come out of this one victorious. Aaron Rogers is the fourth ranked quarterback in the league. Together with running back Ryan Grant, the Green Bay offense will be a tough test for the ailing Steeler defense. Plus, Green Bay is sporting one of the best defensive lines, making them a tough team to beat.  

Pointspread
Packers: +1 -110
Steelers: -1 -110

San Francisco 49ers v Philadelphia Eagles
Philly has proven to be a force to be reckoned with as the regular season starts to wind down. Their big win against the Giants last week secured the lead in the NFC East. DeSean Jackson returned in a big way, adding two 60+ yard touchdowns to help the Eagles grab their win. He’ll likely be even more motivated this week to further boost the Eagles’ potent offensive line.

San Fran will be no joke though, as they are facing must win games in order to get into the postseason. They handed a tough Cardinals team a big loss, and will be hoping to do the same to the Eagles. It looks like the Eagles might have the offensive edge in this one though. Donovan McNabb has been putting up top performances, while 49er quarterback Alex Smith has been a bit of a mixed bag. Overall, it should be a close game as these two teams battle it out for a spot in the playoffs.  

Pointspread
49ers: +9 -110
Eagles: -9 -110

Cleveland Browns v Kansas City Chiefs
The Browns are flying high after handing the defending Super Bowl champs a 13-6 loss last week. Maybe the good momentum will carry over as they hit the road to face the Chiefs. However, many teams can attest to the fact that the Chiefs are no joke on the home field. The Browns defense kicked it up a notch last week, managing to sack Ben Roethlisberger eight times in their quest for their second win of the season. If the Browns can continue with their strong, physical playing they could give the Chiefs a good game. That being said, it’s more likely that Kansas City will grab a win on the home field.

Pointspread
Browns: +2 -110
Chiefs: -2 -110

Oakland Raiders v Denver Broncos
This could be a pretty great game between two divisional rivals. That is if Oakland decides to put on a decent performance. They are capable of handing top teams losses, but it seems in recent weeks they just can’t get their game together. The offense is lacking, particularly when it comes to the quarterback, which has been their downfall throughout the season.

That being said, the Broncos aren’t without their flaws. They suffered a big loss at the hands of Indianapolis last week and just when looked like they were starting to get things back on track. They are desperate for wins as we get to the pointy end of the season. If they want to continue with their playoff hopes players like wide receiver Brandon Marshall will have to keep putting on great performances, starting with Oakland in Week 15.  

Pointspread
Raiders: +14 -110
Broncos: -14 -110

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
New York Giants v Washington Redskins
The Giants continue to slip. They had a big divisional loss last week to the Eagles, and are now sitting in third place in the NFC East. They’re facing another divisional game this week, and though it seems that they should be able to easily conquer the Redskins, it might be a harder battle than many are predicting.

New York has only won two of their last eight games, while the Redskins have made major strides. They had a loss to Oakland last week, and managed to keep up with some pretty tough teams. The Giants certainly have the edge when it comes to the offense, but if Redskins’ quarterback Jason Campbell can continue with his improved performances, and get more out of the running game, the Skins have a chance in this one.     

Pointspread
Giants: -3 Ev
Redskins: +3 -120
