But the floor is ugly and I&#8217;m hoping Cousins hit rock bottom last week when he threw four interceptions in a 17-10 loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s nowhere to go but up after a performance like that and now Cousins has a chance to stick it to his old team, which has been winning a lot, but by thin margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minnesota has a 10-2 record but I&#8217;m getting whiffs of fraudulence up north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The squad is 5-2 since its bye and four of those wins were decided by one score. That includes a 12-7 win over Mac Jones and the Jacksonville Jaguars and a 30-27 overtime win against the downtrodden Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Vikings are also a middling 15th in RBSDM.com&#8217;s offensive EPA per play since their bye and are averaging just 21.8 PPG during their win streak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Falcons are on a three-game skid but still lead the NFC South. I think they can stop the bleeding with a statement win on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Atlanta is 3-2 on the road this season <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fa134a48-a478-432b-95e0-66881f0d337b\">Week 14 upset predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rams moneyline (+180):<\/strong> I know what you&#8217;re thinking: The Bills are red-hot and Josh Allen seems destined for his first MVP award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, maybe both of those things are true but this is shaping up to be a classic letdown spot on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buffalo is 10-2 with a perfect 6-0 home record. The squad is an impressive 4-2 away from Highmark Stadium but lost handily against its two toughest opponents (Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rams have won five of seven following their Week 6 bye and are getting surprisingly stout defensively play without Aaron Donald in the mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buffalo can light up the scoreboard but Matthew Stafford can keep pace, especially since Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams are all healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picks made at 1:24 p.m. ET on 12\/02\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two NFC teams headline these NFL Week 14 upset picks.
