We have arrived at Week 15 of the 2022 NFL campaign, and with the regular season winding down it would be a good time to take your football betting to Prophet Exchange.
If you are not familiar with sports betting exchanges, you might want to take a look at this guide to betting with Prophet Exchange in addition to exchange betting terminology before diving in and making your wagers. As the name suggests, a sports betting exchange is a platform for exchanging bets from one bettor to another without the need for a bookmaker to set the odds for each outcome. Users can either set their own odds and hope another user will be willing to take the bet, or they can peruse the market to see what odds other users are willing to make and jump on one of those offers.
For example, this Sunday the Titans are +130 underdogs against the Chargers (-150) at most sportsbooks. At those ‘books you can only bet on those 2 teams at those 2 prices. With a sports betting exchange, however, that’s not the case. You could try to get Tennessee at +145 and if someone is willing to take your offer and grab Los Angeles at -145 then a match is made.
One especially important aspect of Prophet Exchange that must be noted is against the spread odds are all available at +100 odds as opposed to the -110 juice you generally encounter at most sportsbooks. That is because in an exchange you are betting against other bettors instead of against the sportsbook; and afterward, Prophet Exchange takes a commission from the winnings. Needless to say, making a wager at +100 instead of -110 is a huge advantage – especially adding it up over time.
With that, let’s take a look at some best bets for NFL Week 15 that can be made at Prophet Exchange.
Minnesota Vikings -4 (+100) over Indianapolis Colts
The Vikings never get any respect from the market despite their 10-3 record, and last weekend that was for good reason as they lost as +1.5 underdogs 34-23 to the Lions. However, the disrespect is unfounded more often than not and that will likely be the case in Week 15. At home as a -4 favorite, Minnesota is being treated almost as equal with Indianapolis. I’m not seeing it. Aside from blowout losses to the Eagles and Cowboys, the Vikes have scored at least 23 points week in and week out. I can’t see a moribund Colts offense keeping up.
Indy has lost 3 in a row and its 2 most recent setbacks were especially bad. Matt Ryan was awful during a Week 12 loss to Pittsburgh, and his team got outscored 33-0 in the fourth quarter of a recent 54-19 setback against Dallas. The Colts are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 on the road. Minnesota is 5-2-1 ATS in its last 8 contests.

Green Bay Packers -7 (+100) over Los Angeles Rams
The Rams’ stock may be inflated just a bit following their miracle 17-16 comeback win over the Raiders on Sunday Night Football. Aside from the last few minutes, however, they were terrible. They are still 4-9 despite that result and all but eliminated from playoff contention. The Packers aren’t much better at 5-8, but their path to the postseason is at least somewhat realistic. Aaron Rodgers isn’t about to roll over and call it a year — especially not in front of the home crowd at Lambeau Field in primetime (Monday Night Football). The Packers have won 2 of their last 4 (with 1 loss during this stretch by just 7 points to Philadelphia) and were able to upset Dallas 31-28 at home earlier in the season.

Atlanta Falcons +4.5 (+100) over New Orleans Saints
I would not be inclined to give 4.5 points to pretty much any opponent when it comes to the Saints. Their offense is such that they will always struggle to beat anyone by more than a few points — if they can beat anyone at all. Four of their last 5 point totals are 13, 10, 0 and 16. The Saints are coming off a disastrous 19-16 loss to NFC South rival Tampa Bay in which they led 16-3 in the final minutes. Their ninth loss of the season basically eliminates them from playoff contention, so they have nothing to play for going into Week 15.
The first meeting between these 2 teams was a 1-point game (New Orleans won 27-26) and it was a game Atlanta completely gave away at the end. Desmond Ridder is getting the start for the Falcons and is obviously an unproven commodity, but if nothing else the QB change should instill a little life in this team. This has all the makings of a very close game.
