Week 15 NFL staff picks: Playoff races heating up

With three weeks remaining in the regular season, the suspense continues to build as teams make their final playoff push. Twenty-three teams remain in contention for a trip to Super Bowl LII.

Two of those teams meet on Sunday night (8:30 PM ET, NBC), when the Dallas Cowboys visit the Oakland Raiders. Dallas has won two games in a row and sits in the middle of a crowded NFC playoff race at 7-6 while the Raiders at 6-7 sit just one game behind the division-leading Chiefs and Chargers.

Plenty on the line for both teams, but our staff writers are unanimous in picking the Cowboys over the Raiders.

Here are the rest of our staff picks for the Week 15 games.
