NFL Week 14 odds: Betting insights
- Separated by half a game and sitting just outside the playoff picture, the Lions and Cowboys kick things off in Week 14 with a massive showdown in Motown. Dallas just beat both of last year’s Super Bowl contenders in a span of five days. Detroit, meanwhile, is 2-3 SU (1-4 ATS in its past five).
- Sticking with some NFC North action, the winner of this week’s Bears/Packers game will be in the driver’s seat to win the division. Green Bay went 8-0 ATS vs. Chicago from 2020-23, but the Bears covered in both games last year. In recent weeks, the Bears have had two upset victories during a five-game win streak.
- Despite their dud on U.S. Thanksgiving night, the Ravens are positioned to take the lead in the AFC North with a win as home favourites over the Steelers. Baltimore, which won five in a row before last week’s loss, went 2-0 with a +31 point differential last year vs. Pittsburgh.
- We could be in for a real rock fight of a game between the Broncos (No. 3 scoring defence) and the Raiders (No. 31 scoring offence). A combo of elite defence on one side and unsightly offence on the other has led these teams to cash unders in 15 of their 22 games, collectively.
- The Chiefs’ playoff hopes are on life support with five games to go, but they are favoured to beat the Texans at Arrowhead. KC is on a five-game home winning streak and beat Houston twice last season (both times in KC).
