Microsoft Cortana went 9-7 in Week 14 ‘ here are its NFL picks for Week 15

Microsoft Cortana had a sub-par Week 14, correctly picking the outright winner in just nine of the 16 games. The tally pushedits overall record to 131-77 (63%) on the year.Cortana missed a slew of games that were either affected by injuries (Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh) or major upsets. Few predicted the Raiders to beat the Broncos or the Saints to beat the Buccaneers, but, alas, even algorithms have off weeks.This week, Cortana likes a handful of road teams, including the Jets, Panthers, and Bills. In the AFC South backup QB showdown between Houston’s T.J. Yates and Indianapolis’ Charlie Whitehurst, Cortana likes the Colts at home, but only gives them a 55% chance to win.Cortana pegs the closest game to be Miami at San Diego, but with no playoff implications on the line, the game will likely not attract a large national audience. The biggest favorites of the week are the Patriots, who host the Titans, and the Seahawks, who host the Browns.As always, you can access Cortana’s picks on Bing Blogs, and you can compare it to other experts at NFL Pick Watch.
