CBS Sports Football Pick Six Newsletter
 
The Bears and Steelers managed to overthrow teams that have had their number in recent years, with the Steelers toppling the Patriots at home to help put them in good position for the playoffs and the Bears breaking the shackles of Aaron Rodgers' control in Soldier Field to clinch the NFC North. Ryan Wilson, John Breech and Sean Wagner-McGough join me to break down those games and the rest of the Week 15 slate.
The Cowboys had a chance to clinch the NFC East on Sunday, but instead, they got shut out against the Colts. When you get shut out for the first time in 15 years, it takes a total collapse and John Breech said that's basically what happened to the Cowboys during their 23-0 loss at LucasOil Stadium. Breech also had a failing mark for the Giants.
In a time of year when the Patriots always start peaking, New England instead finds itself looking fallible and falling further away from securing a bye in the playoffs. With two weeks left, the Pats find themselves with the No. 3 seed. I've also got notes about Vikings, Bears and much more.

After three years of being ignored, the Cleveland Browns are finally getting some respect again from the oddsmakers in Las Vegas. In the early odds for Week 16, the Browns have opened as a 7-point favorite over the Bengals. The point spread marks the first time since November 2014 that the Browns have been favored by seven or more points. John Breech broke down how the Browns have fared as big favorites and all the early odds, including a team that's been nearly unstoppable in its past 10 games.
Jason La Canfora is impressed with the job that Frank Reich has done with the Colts. So much so, that he believes Reich should be Coach of the Year. JLC also has notes on the Chargers, Lamar Jackson and more.
The Bears offseason was driving in one direction and it culminated in a division title. It's only fitting it happened at home, against the Bears biggest demon, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. I broke down the whole playoff picture, including a new No. 2 team in the AFC.
