Thursday Night Football
Week 14 Kicks Off Here
Which team’s are going to get into the NFL playoff hunt in Week 14?
That’s the big question when looking at four 5-7 teams with that opportunity. The Raiders, Lions, Browns and Steelers all are operating on the fringe of that playoff discussion.
The Raiders gets the Thursday Night Football spotlight against the Rams. Derek Carr, who has multiple TD passes in five straight games, could get the Raiders back in the mix.
The other three teams have divisional games that matter. The Lions host the Vikings, and Detroit is favored. The Lions could be favored in three of their last four games. This is a pivotal game for second-year coach Dan Campbell.
Cleveland has had Cincinnati’s number under coach Kevin Stefanski, and the Steelers are favored to beat divisional rival Baltimore – which might be without Lamar Jackson.

Our Picks:
Raiders Win @20/49
Over 44.5 match points @10/11
It may well prove to be a bridge too far, but the Las Vegas Raiders are making a late surge as we hit the home stretch of the NFL regular season.
Will they continue this week? They have a chance to put some pressure on the teams ahead of them in the AFC playoff picture as they are first up on the Week 14 schedule with a Thursday Night Football matchup with the struggling Los Angeles Rams.
The same can’t be said for the reigning Super Bowl champions, who won’t be defending their title. After placing QB Matthew Stafford on injured reserve on Saturday and all but ending his season, they suffered their sixth straight loss on Sunday, falling in the last minute against the Seattle Seahawks.
They may well have to run the table or go 4-1 at worst to make the playoffs for a second straight season, but their hopes are still very much alive and kicking.
Can they spoiler against their visitors from Vegas? Or will the Silver and Black continue surging up the standings? Keep reading for our Raiders vs Rams prediction, as well as our picks for this week’s TNF tilt.
