Top Week 15 expert NFL picks from Larry Harstein

A former lead writer for Covers and The Linemakers, Hartstein combines a vast network of Vegas sources with an analytical approach he honed working for Pro Football Focus. He tied for 52nd place (out of 1,598 entries) in the 2022 Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest, going 53-34-3 ATS. Hartstein’s weekly Vegas contest selections form the basis of his NFL best bets column, which is 79-48-2 (62.2%, +25.95 units) since its inception in 2022. Additionally, he is 92-62 in his last 154 NFL prop picks (+1808).Β 

Hartstein is backing the Commanders (-7.5, 43.5) to cover against the Saints on Sunday. He notes that the Commanders have rushed for at least 200 yards on five occasions this season, and they are facing a New Orleans defense that ranks 31st in rushing yards allowed before contact. Hartstein is also fading a team that will be without its top two safeties this week. You can see Hartstein’s pick for that game and others here.Β 

Top Week 15 NFL expert picks from Sia Nejad

Nejad is a trial attorney turned analyst who specializes in the PGA, NFL and college basketball. He further specializes in the DFS and prop market.

Nejad has already locked in his pick for the Eagles (-5.5, 43) vs. Steelers game on Sunday afternoon.
