The Detroit Lions finally won a game and were the biggest Week 13 underdog to win straight up. Overall, it was a great week for favorites, especially double-digit favorites like the Rams, Colts, and Bucs who were all winners.
Who will it be in Week 14? Here are the top five NFL Week 14 ATS picks.
49ers vs. Bengals Week 14 Spread
Both the 49ers and Bengals lost last week, but Cincy was blown out while the 49ers still had a chance to win late in the fourth quarter. San Francisco has the edge up front. The 49ers offensive line is a top-10 unit in both run blocking and pass blocking. The Bengals O-line ranks in the bottom half of the league in both categories.
Then, there are the Niners under head coach Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers don’t do well as a favorite, but they are 24-17 ATS as an underdog under Shanahan. As a road dog under their head coach, the Niners are 15-10.
Best ATS Pick: 49ERS +2.5
Ravens vs. Browns Week 14 Spread
It’s an AFC North slugfest. If you’re betting totals, take a long look at the Under in this one. The other thing to consider is the Ravens who have won four straight against the Browns and have covered in all four games.
Yes, Baltimore lost to Pittsburgh last week. Yes, QB Lamar Jackson has thrown eight picks in the Ravens last four games. Doesn’t matter. Cleveland QB Baker Mayfield completed just over 50 percent of his passes over the last month and Cleveland averaged 10 points a game during that stretch.
Best ATS Pick: RAVENS +2.5
Cowboys vs. Washington Week 14 Spread
Here’s the deal. Washington has had a nice run. They pulled a huge upset of Tampa Bay. Then, they caught Carolina, Seattle, and Las Vegas all on the way down. Four straight wins. That streak will end Sunday.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott owns the NFC East. In division games in his career, Prescott is 19-8 ATS. With Prescott under center, Dallas has outperformed the spread by an average of +5.4 points against division opponents. Oh, and Dallas had an extra three days to prepare after playing on Thursday night last week.
Best ATS Pick: COWBOYS -4
Bears vs. Packers Week 14 Spread
Green Bay has beaten NFC North rival Chicago in nine of the last ten games in the series. The Packers with reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers has beaten Chicago 21 of 26 times including the first game this season on Oct. 17.
Rodgers at home is about as sure a bet as there is. He is 67-36-4 ATS at home, but you can break it down even further. Rodgers is 48-28 ATS against division opponents and 24-12 ATS against division opponents at home.
Oh, and there’s the 11-5-1 ATS record coming off a bye week. Against the NFC North when coming off a bye? Yeah, 5-0 ATS.
Best ATS Pick: PACKERS -11.5
Bills vs. Buccaneers Week 14 Spread
The Bills have lost four of their last seven games and they are 2-4-1 ATS in those games. Tampa Bay is riding a three-game winning streak in which they covered in all three games. The Bucs were double-digit favorites in two of those three.
The Bills are 1-3-1 ATS in the last five games against the Bucs. Tampa Bay is 4-0 ATS in its last four home games and the Bucs are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning record. In the last five games between these two teams, the home team is 4-0-1 ATS.
Best ATS Pick: BUCCANEERS -3
