Week 14 in the NFL was a mixed bag of results. There were some big upsets, for sure, across the board. They were some unexpected shootouts and inexplicable offensive deserts.
That made the picks and predictions a bit challenging, but a few teams came through with the right results. That provides a little more confidence going back to a full slate of 16 games, including so exciting Saturday action.
Our Picks:
Browns vs Bears
Our Pick: Browns ML @4/6
The Bears are feeling the future again with Justin Fields, whose locked into his running and go-to guy D.J. Moore. The Browns are feeling the present, however, with Joe Flacco. This is a tough spot against an improving Chicago defense, but then again Cleveland’s defense has been downright nasty and forces key turnovers with Myles Garrett at home.
Packers vs Buccaneers
Our Pick: Over 42.0 @10/11
The Buccaneers are in first place in the NFC South but they can be inconsistent, especially defensively with all their injury issues. Baker Mayfield plays OK here and the Packers’ defense will be slowed a bit with their own injuries on a short week. But Jordan Love comes through again with his all his skill position players with key passes all over the field, down to the final game-winning drive.
Titans vs Texans – Dog Pick
Our Pick: Texans ML @33/20
The Texans may need to turn to Davis Mills again with C.J. Stroud (concussion) hurting after the loss to the Jets. But. here, their other high first-round pick, Will Anderson Jr., come through vs. a rookie QB to rebound from the tough game in Week 14. Houston can handle Tennessee’s limited offense around rookie QB Will Levis. Mills’ experience pays off with help from good fill-in receivers and tight ends.
Dolphins vs Jets
Our Pick: Dolphins -9.0 @10/11
The Jets were ripped in the first matchup, 34-13. They played some more inspired and impressive offense last week, however, with a revived Zach Wilson relying on his primary playmakers. Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and the running backs continue to give Tua Tagovailoa more explosiveness around him in relation to Wilson.
Patriots vs Chiefs
Our Pick: Over 37.0 @10/11
The Chiefs’ offense is out of sync without reliable wide receivers beyond Rashee Rice and likely won’t have hard-running Isiah Pacheco again for the rushing attack. The Patriots will stick with strong power running against the Chiefs can struggle with a red-hot Ezekiel Elliott on the road. Bill Belichick will scheme to contain Travis Kelce to keep his team in the game until Patrick Mahomes breaks through in the second half.
Saints vs Giants
Our Pick: Saints ML @2/5
The Saints didn’t play pretty offense last week with Derek Carr but still rolled to a big win on the Panthers. The Giants’ defense has too many holes in coverage to think Carr can’t heat up a little more with Alvin Kamara and the running game opening things up downfield. Tommy DeVito on a short week against a swarming defense with good coverage and capacity to contain the run doesn’t sound good.
Rams vs Commanders
Our Pick: Over 50.5 @10/11
The Commanders will come off a bye with a struggling pass defense facing a red-hot passing game with Matthew Stafford locked in again to Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Stafford should light it up again all over the field back at home with no weather concerns in Los Angeles. Sam Howell will be game for the shootout, too, with the Rams having enough coverage holes. But in the end, Aaron Donald plays closer with the pass rush.
Cardinal vs 49ers
Our Pick: 49ers -12.5 @10/11
The Cardinals’ defense also will be a in a brutal spot coming off a bye. The 49ers are crushing it around Brock Purdy with a ton of big plays and no Arizona player can cover either Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk well. That’s after Christian McCaffrey goes nuts with explosive runs to set up everything. Kyler Murray will do his best to run around and make plays with a limited one-dimensional pass-oriented attack.
Jaguars vs Ravens
Our Pick: Jaguars ML @3/2
The Jaguars didn’t come through in their long-awaited Monday night chance vs. the Bengals two weeks ago. They are on a two-game losing skid vs. the AFC North. But they have been waiting much longer for a true Sunday night game and will be pumped with a gritty Trevor Lawrence and an inspired playmaking defense to end the slump. The Ravens were pushed by the Rams into overtime and their defense showed more key cracks Lawrence can exploit. On the other side, Lamar Jackson gets contained with little help from the running game.
