Week 15 NFL picks for Chiefs vs. Texans

Before tuning into Sunday's Texans vs. Chiefs game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up more than $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 15 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 157-113 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season, and is a sizzling 21-5 on straight-up NFL picks over the past two weeks.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

For Texans vs. Chiefs, the model is picking Kansas City to cover the spread. The model trusts the Chiefs not to cough up a big lead like they did last week against the Broncos and cruise to a two-touchdown victory or better. Houston's offense will be hampered by the loss of rookie running back Dameon Pierce, and it isn't likely the two-QB offense Lovie Smith is running will be as successful this week as it was against Dallas.

Even though the Chiefs haven't covered in their last four games, Mahomes and company should have no trouble hopping out to a comfortable lead, according to the model. You may be able to stream the game here.
