The NFL season is here. Picking NFL games straight up is hard enough, but picking against the spread is even tougher. Here are NFL week 14 picks against the spread. (Spreads are from Tallysight as of Tuesday morning)
Last Week: 8-8
Season: 95-97-2
Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Lions (-3)
The Cowboys have new life with their new additions to defense. Going on the road and beating the Lions would be tough. Detroit has bounced back after every loss this year and should be able to even without Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Pick: Lions
Cincinnati Bengals at Buffalo Bills (-5.5)
Joe Burrow being back gives the Bengals a fighting chance. Unfortunately, that defense will cost them, especially against Josh Allen and James Cook.
Pick: Bills
Indianapolis Colts (-1.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars
The Colts have been struggling the last few games, but should get things back on the right track against the Jaguars. Jacksonville doesn’t have an explosive offense and the Colts should be able to attack them downfield.
Pick: Colts
Miami Dolphins (-2.5) at New York Jets
Miami has won three straight and four of their last five to stay in the playoff hunt. While the Jets have played better with Tyrod Taylor, the Dolphins should be able to outscore the Jets’ offense.
Pick: Dolphins
New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-8.5)
New Orleans is on the road and has just two wins on the year. The Saints haven’t scored 20 points in a game in their last eight. Tampa Bay should be able to win and pretty convincingly.
Pick: Buccaneers
Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens (-4.5)
Lamar Jackson hasn’t looked like himself, but the Ravens had extra time to prepare for this game, as they played on Thanksgiving. He should look fresh and the Steelers’ offense, who hasn’t been playing well, will struggle to score points.
Pick: Ravens
Seattle Seahawks (-7) at Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons struggled against the Jets. While that game was on the road, the defense hasn’t been as good as early in the season and Kirk Cousins isn’t playing great either. Seattle can win by more than a touchdown on the road.
Pick: Seahawks
Tennessee Titans at Cleveland Browns (-3.5)
There isn’t much positive to say about either of these teams. The Browns having this game at home and having a great defense gives them the edge in this one.
Pick: Browns
Washington Commanders (-2) at Minnesota Vikings
Both of these teams aren’t playing as well as expected this season. If the Vikings get JJ McCarthy back, the offense can be marginally better, while Brian Flores can have the defense ready for this game.
Pick: Vikings
Denver Broncos (-7.5) at Las Vegas Raiders
Denver’s defense is amazing and the Raiders can’t get any offense going anyways. Even with the Broncos being inconsistent on offense, they’ll get the job done and cover here.
Pick: Broncos
Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers (-6.5)
Green Bay has won three straight and will probably win this game at home. Ben Johnson has things rolling for the Bears’ offense and they should be able to keep this divisional game close.
Pick: Bears
Los Angeles Rams (-8) at Arizona Cardinals
The Rams just had a bad performance against the Panthers and will rebound this week. Arizona has kept games close as of late, but the Rams in a get-right game should be too much.
Pick: Rams
Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs (-3.5)
Houston has a great defense, which should give Kansas City problems. The Chiefs have plenty of aged players and could wear down on the stretch run.
Pick: Texans
Philadelphia Eagles (-2.5) at Los Angeles Chargers
Philadelphia’s offense has issues, but their pass rush should be able to take advantage of the Chargers having injuries on the offensive line.
Pick: Eagles
