Welcome to week 15 on the NFL Talkboard. Pick your winners from these six games and submit your choices below the line. This week's live blog will be New England Patriots @ Denver Broncos – from 4.15pm EST Sunday / 9.15pm GMT. We will then be back on Tuesday with five things we learned from the weekend's games. If you're on Twitter, you can get all the latest news, views and live coverage from @GdnUSsports. We also have a new Facebook page.
Now, though, it's time for the Pick Six. Quiet but respectful nods of approval, please, for Jspaceman, js29 and PropositionJonny, who predicted all six games correctly last week. Overall standings to follow below the line shortly (and I do mean that this time! Huge apologies for not getting them up last week).
Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills
Todd Bowles steps into Tony Sparano's shoes for Miami, but the greater factor in determining how this game shakes out will be whether or not Matt Moore is back under center after leaving last week's defeat to Philadelphia with head injuries. JP Losman looked every bit the mediocre journeyman in relief. With Buffalo coming off six consecutive defeats some will argue that it doesn't matter who is at quarterback for Miami. But I think this may be the game where the Bills finally end the slide.
Bills to win
Detroit Lions @ Oakland Raiders
Both teams are overdue a play-off appearance, and both seem to have lost their way just at the crucial moment. Oakland are coming off consecutive defeats, as had been Detroit before a deeply unconvincing win over Minnesota. I suspect there will be opportunities for Michael Bush in the running game against Detroit's suspect D – but the one thing we can be sure of is that it won't be pretty: these are the two most penalised teams in the league.
Raiders to win
New England Patriots @ Denver Broncos
It has to end here, right? Guts, leadership, moxy, luck – no matter what you choose to ascribe Tim Tebow's incredible run to, there's just no way it will be enough to overcome Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Will it? Oh, by the way, New England have only won twice in 14 visits since the merger. Just sayin'.
Patriots to win
New York Jets @ Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles, technically, are still alive in the NFC East, though they would require some spectacular ineptitude from both the Giants and the Cowboys. In any case, they showed last week in Miami that they still have a little fight left in them. Enough to stop a Jets team who have put up 13 touchdowns in the last three weeks? I'm not convinced.
Jets to win
Baltimore Ravens @ San Diego Chargers
As is their wont, San Diego have finally woken up and started playing football now that we're into December, outscoring their opponents 75-24 over the past two weeks having previously lost six in a row. If Tebow slips, a division title could yet be possible. But first they would have to get past a Baltimore team who are tied for the best record in the AFC, and I don't think they will.
Ravens to win
Pittsburgh Steelers @ San Francisco 49ers
NFL.com bills this as a "potential Super Bowl match-up" but after their brilliant first 11 weeks, San Francisco have lost a little of their sheen. Alex Smith was sacked five times in Arizona, and though James Harrison will be absent you would still expect that Pittsburgh will get after him. Then again, the Steelers have injuries of their own, with Ben Roethlisberger's status uncertain at time of writing due to a sprained ankle. This is one of those calls I wish I could postpone to Sunday.
49ers to win
