It’s hard to believe, but we’re already heading into Week 14 of the 2024 NFL season. Playoff races are intensifying, and on the flip side, the battle for next year’s No. 1 draft pick is also heating up. The week kicks off with a highly anticipated divisional clash between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers on Thursday night—a game that promises plenty of fireworks.

However, the excitement fizzles out by Monday night, as fans will have to endure a matchup between the struggling Dallas Cowboys and the underwhelming Cincinnati Bengals to close out the week.

Without further ado, let’s dive into the NFL analysis and break down each matchup to uncover the best bets for every game on the Week 14 slate.

NFL Week 14 Predictions

Let’s break down every matchup, providing a look into NFL odds, betting trends, and top picks for Week 14.

Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions Odds

TeamMoneylineSpreadTotal
Green Bay Packers+150+3.5 (-115)Over 51 (-115)
Detroit Lions-180-3.5 (-105)Under 51 (-105)

The Detroit Lions enter this game as slight favorites, laying just over a field goal at home against the Green Bay Packers. Both teams are coming off Thanksgiving Day victories—Detroit escaped with a narrow win over the struggling Chicago Bears, while Green Bay pulled off an impressive upset, toppling the Miami Dolphins on a cold night at Lambeau Field.

Detroit already defeated Green Bay at Lambeau earlier this season and will aim to extend their winning streak to an impressive 11 games with another victory this week. While the offense wasn’t at its best in last week’s narrow win over Chicago, they still managed to move the ball effectively. Jared Goff threw a pair of touchdown passes, but the typically strong ground game wasn’t quite as dominant as usual against the Bears’ defense. Detroit’s Sonic & Knuckles tandem – David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs – rushed for over 120 yards and a touchdown in their last meeting against the Pack.

The Packers come into this matchup riding a hot streak of their own, having won three straight games since their loss to the Lions a month ago. For Jordan Love, protecting the football will be crucial. He currently ranks among the league leaders with 11 interceptions on the season. In their previous meeting with Detroit, Love struggled significantly—throwing a pick-six and failing to record a single touchdown pass.

The Lions looked mortal last week, but they can step on the Packers’ throats with another win in this one to sweep the season series. Detroit is 9-3 against the spread so far this year, while the Packers are a middling 6-6. I like the Lions to cover this rather small margin at home.

Betting Trends:

  • The Lions are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games.
  • The Packers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against NFC North opponents.
  • The total has gone under in 4 of Green Bay’s last 5 games.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Lions -3.5 (-105) – Detroit’s offensive balance and home-field dominance should be enough to cover this modest spread.
  • Moneyline: Lions (-180) – A safer option for parlay bets given Detroit’s consistency at home.
  • Total: Under 51 (-105) – While both teams have firepower, Detroit’s ability to control the clock could suppress the total score.
Final Score Prediction: Lions 27, Packers 20
Best Bet: Lions -3.5 (-105)

Carolina Panthers vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds

TeamMoneylineSpreadTotal
Carolina Panthers+455+12 (-110)Over 46 (-108)
Philadelphia Eagles-625-12 (-110)Under 46 (-112)

The Philadelphia Eagles continued their dominant run with an impressive win over the Ravens last week, extending their streak to eight straight victories and solidifying their grip on the NFC East. Heading into a matchup with the surprisingly competitive Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia is poised to keep the momentum going. This game features the largest spread of the week, with the Eagles favored by 12 points—the only double-digit margin on the Week 14 slate.

Carolina may have only three wins this season, but they’ve shown significant improvement compared to their early struggles. The Panthers are coming off back-to-back overtime losses to the Chiefs and Buccaneers, demonstrating they can hang with tough opponents. Meanwhile, Bryce Young is starting to show flashes of promise in his second professional season, shaking off the early doubts that had some questioning his future.

Bryce Young orchestrated a thrilling game-tying touchdown drive in the final moments of Sunday’s eventual loss to Tampa Bay, showcasing his growth as a leader. He threw for a season-high 298 yards, providing a glimpse of his potential. Unfortunately for the Panthers, an untimely fumble by Chuba Hubbard in overtime sealed their fate, costing them a chance at a hard-fought victory.

Slowing down Saquon Barkley will need to be the Panthers’ top priority, but that’s much easier said than done. Barkley has been a revelation for the Eagles this season, racking up nearly 1,500 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns through 12 games. He’s been on an incredible tear, surpassing 100 rushing yards in three straight games and six of his last seven. Meanwhile, stopping the run has been a persistent weakness for the Panthers all season. This matchup is a classic case of strength versus weakness, and it’s hard to see why Philadelphia’s strength won’t prevail with ease.

Covering a 12-point spread in the NFL isn’t easy, though the Eagles are hot enough to keep it rolling.

Betting Trends:

  • The Eagles are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games.
  • The Panthers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as double-digit underdogs.
  • The total has gone under in 3 of Philadelphia’s last 5 home games.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Eagles -12 (-110) – Philadelphia’s high-powered offense should cover this sizable spread.
  • Moneyline: Eagles (-625) – While the moneyline is steep, this is a safe option for parlays.
  • Total: Under 46 (-112) – The Panthers’ offensive struggles may keep this game low-scoring.
Final Score Prediction: Eagles 31, Panthers 13
Best Bet: Eagles -12 (-110)

New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins Odds

TeamMoneylineSpreadTotal
New York Jets+200+6 (-108)Over 45.5 (-112)
Miami Dolphins-245-6 (-112)Under 45.5 (-112)

The New York Jets’ season of discontent rolls on as they prepare for this AFC East rivalry matchup. New York has now lost three straight games, sinking to a dismal 3-9 record. Despite a promising start on Sunday, they couldn’t withstand the Seahawks’ late-game surge, adding another frustrating chapter to their season. The Aaron Rodgers experiment has been a complete disappointment, and this veteran-heavy roster now finds itself simply playing out the string in what has become a lost year.

The Miami Dolphins may be just 5-7, but in the struggling AFC East, that’s enough for second place. Miami saw its recent win streak snapped last week in a tough road loss at Lambeau Field. However, they remain in contention for a wild card spot in what has been a down year for the AFC. Returning home should provide a boost, as the Dolphins clearly struggled to handle the frigid conditions on the frozen tundra during their Thanksgiving night matchup.

It’s hard to see the Jets competing at a high level in this matchup—they are what they are at this point in the season. Miami, on the other hand, has enjoyed a strong home-field advantage in recent years, and it’s unlikely New York’s defense will be able to contain the Dolphins’ high-powered offense. With too many playmakers on Miami’s side and New York’s stars failing to meet expectations, this feels like a game the Dolphins should win comfortably. All signs point to Miami taking control early and cruising to a decisive victory.

Betting Trends:

  • The Dolphins are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against AFC East opponents.
  • The Jets are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games.
  • The total has gone over in 6 of Miami’s last 8 games.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Dolphins -6 (-112) – Miami’s offense should be too much for New York to handle.
  • Moneyline: Dolphins (-245) – Miami is the safer pick here, especially given their offensive edge.
  • Total: Under 45.5 (-112) – Expect the Jets’ defense to slow Miami enough to keep the total under.
Final Score Prediction: Dolphins 27, Jets 17
Best Bet: Dolphins -6 (-112)

Las Vegas Raiders vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds

TeamMoneylineSpreadTotal
Las Vegas Raiders+235+7 (-112)Over 46.5 (-108)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers-290-7 (-108)Under 46.5 (-112)

The Las Vegas Raiders put up an impressive fight on Black Friday but ultimately fell short against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ seemingly unstoppable magic. Now, they’ll head east for a challenging matchup against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team still clawing for a playoff spot in the NFC South. Despite dealing with a slew of injuries on both sides of the ball, the Buccaneers remain in the hunt, making this a critical game for their postseason aspirations.

Aidan O’Connell made a strong return from a thumb injury, delivering an impressive performance despite the hostile environment at Arrowhead last week. The rookie quarterback completed 23 of 35 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns against one of the NFL’s top defenses. Fellow rookie Brock Bowers also shined, hauling in 10 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown, solidifying his status as a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. While the jury is still out on whether O’Connell is the long-term answer at quarterback for Las Vegas, Bowers has already proven to be a cornerstone piece in his first professional season.

Baker Mayfield has had success against tougher defenses than the Raiders this season, and Tampa Bay has also seen a breakout performance from rookie running back Bucky Irving. Irving has been electric, averaging an impressive 5.5 yards per carry, and he notched his first career 100-yard game last week against Carolina. He’s also found the end zone in three straight games, firmly establishing himself as the leader of the Buccaneers’ backfield.

The spread may be significant, but I’m not ready to buy into a Raiders resurgence just yet. O’Connell showed promise, but he still has plenty to prove before earning full confidence. With Las Vegas facing the added challenge of traveling east as a West Coast team, I like the Buccaneers to handle their business at home and come away with the win.

Betting Trends:

  • The Buccaneers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games at home.
  • The Raiders are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games.
  • The total has gone under in 4 of Tampa Bay’s last 6 games.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Buccaneers -7 (-108) – Tampa Bay’s defensive dominance should help them cover.
  • Moneyline: Buccaneers (-290) – A relatively safe pick outright.
  • Total: Under 46.5 (-112) – Both defenses should keep this game low-scoring.
Final Score Prediction: Buccaneers 24, Raiders 13
Best Bet: Buccaneers -7 (-108)

Atlanta Falcons vs Minnesota Vikings Odds

TeamMoneylineSpreadTotal
Atlanta Falcons+185+5 (-112)Over 45.5 (-112)
Minnesota Vikings-225-5 (-108)Under 45.5 (-108)

The Atlanta Falcons are coming off a low-scoring loss to the Chargers and now face a tough road trip to Minneapolis to take on the surprisingly excellent Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota sits at 10-2, keeping pace with the Lions in a heated NFC North race. If Detroit stumbles against Green Bay on Thursday night, the Vikings could pull into a virtual tie for the division lead with a win. Meanwhile, the Falcons find themselves in a much messier situation, tied at 6-6 with the Buccaneers atop an NFC South division that no team seems eager to claim.

Kirk Cousins is set to face his former team in a revenge game, and the Falcons are hoping he can rebound from a rough outing last week. In Atlanta’s disappointing loss to the Chargers, Cousins threw four interceptions, a performance that derailed their chances. If the Falcons are going to pull off an upset in Minnesota, Cousins will need to do a much better job of protecting the football against a Vikings defense that has been opportunistic all season. Atlanta enters this matchup on a three-game skid, a sharp downturn after what had been a promising 6-3 start to the season. The Falcons will need to find answers quickly to stop the slide, especially against a tough Vikings team riding high in the NFC North race.

Minnesota is riding a five-game winning streak following last week’s gritty 23-22 victory at home over Arizona. Sam Darnold has stepped in admirably as Cousins’ replacement, continuing his excellent play with two more touchdown passes in Week 13. The Vikings have thrived in close contests this season, racking up several one-score victories. It’s no surprise, then, that this game features a relatively tight 5-point spread, reflecting Minnesota’s knack for edging out opponents in nail-biters.

Betting Trends:

  • The Vikings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.
  • The Falcons are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games.
  • The total has gone under in 5 of Minnesota’s last 6 games.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Vikings -5 (-108) – Minnesota’s offensive versatility gives them the edge to cover.
  • Moneyline: Vikings (-225) – A safer pick at home against an inconsistent Falcons team.
  • Total: Under 45.5 (-108) – The Vikings’ defense and the Falcons’ ball-control strategy could keep this a lower-scoring affair.
Final Score Prediction: Vikings 27, Falcons 17
Best Bet: Vikings -5 (-108)

New Orleans Saints vs New York Giants Odds

TeamMoneylineSpreadTotal
New Orleans Saints-258-5 (-110)Over 40.5 (-110)
New York Giants+240+5 (-110)Under 40.5 (-110)

The New Orleans Saints are coming off a tough home loss to the Rams and now head to the Meadowlands for a matchup against the struggling New York Giants. Despite their inconsistency, New Orleans is a 5-point road favorite in this one. Both teams have had their issues against the spread this season, with the Saints sitting at 5-7 ATS and the Giants an even worse 3-9. Something’s got to give in this battle of underperforming squads.

New York was thoroughly beaten in Arlington last week, falling to the Cowboys with Drew Lock under center in place of the injured Tommy DeVito. DeVito is expected to start this week if healthy, but if Lock gets the nod again, it’s hard to muster much confidence in the Giants. Lock struggled with ball security on Thanksgiving, committing two turnovers, and the offensive line didn’t help his cause, allowing him to be sacked six times by a Dallas defense that has been far from dominant this season.

The Saints’ offense has been decimated by injuries, with the latest blow coming in Week 13 when Taysom Hill tore his ACL. That leaves Alvin Kamara as the lone proven playmaker in Derek Carr’s arsenal. Despite the setbacks, scoring points shouldn’t be too tall a task against New York’s porous defense. Kamara had a strong showing last week against the Rams, rushing for over 100 yards, though he’s been stuck in a scoring drought, failing to find the end zone in his last six games. Expect that streak to come to an end in this matchup.

Betting Trends:

  • The Giants are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games at home.
  • The Saints are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against NFC opponents.
  • The total has gone under in 7 of the Saints’ last 10 games.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Saints -5 (-110) – The Giants may not win another game this season, so the Saints look good on the road.
  • Moneyline: Saints (-258) – Again, the Giants are tanking. Take New Orleans with confidence.
  • Total: Under 40.5 (-110) – Both teams have struggled to score consistently, favoring a lower total.
Final Score Prediction: Saints 20, Giants 13
Best Bet: Saints -5 (-110)

Cleveland Browns vs Pittsburgh Steelers Odds

TeamMoneylineSpreadTotal
Cleveland Browns+240+6.5 (-110)Over 43 (-110)
Pittsburgh Steelers-298-6.5 (-110)Under 43 (-110)

The Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers will face off for the second time in three weeks this Sunday in Pittsburgh. Cleveland came out on top in their last meeting, a snowy Week 12 battle in Cleveland, but they’re coming off a tough loss to the Broncos in Denver last week. Meanwhile, the Steelers are riding high after outlasting the Bengals in a high-scoring shootout. With the home-field advantage and momentum on their side, Pittsburgh is favored to even the score and get their revenge against their division rivals.

Russell Wilson continued his strong play for the Steelers with another standout performance against the Bengals, torching Cincinnati’s porous defense for a season-high 414 passing yards. Since taking over as Pittsburgh’s starter from Justin Fields, Wilson has been efficient and productive, throwing 10 touchdowns to just three interceptions. George Pickens, who hauled in three catches for 74 yards and a touchdown last week, will aim for a bigger impact this time around after being limited to just 48 yards by the Browns’ tough secondary in their Week 12 meeting.

The Browns got the full Jameis Winston experience on Monday night in Denver. Winston dazzled with 497 passing yards and four touchdowns against the Broncos, but his aggressive style came at a cost—he also threw three interceptions, including two that were returned for touchdowns. Winston’s high-risk, high-reward approach has made Cleveland’s offense far more prolific since he replaced the injured and struggling Deshaun Watson. However, turnovers could be a significant concern against a Steelers defense that is both talented and opportunistic, capable of capitalizing on Winston’s mistakes.

A major bright spot for the Browns has been Jerry Jeudy, who has flourished since Cleveland traded Amari Cooper to Buffalo. Jeudy delivered a career-best performance on Monday, torching his former team with 235 receiving yards and a touchdown. He’s now on pace to obliterate his previous career high of 972 receiving yards in a season. Over his last five games, Jeudy has consistently been a focal point of the offense, recording at least five catches in each outing. Slowing him down will undoubtedly be the Steelers’ top defensive priority on Sunday.

I don’t expect Cleveland to sweep the season series from Pittsburgh, but they’ve been a plucky, competitive team with Winston under center. I like the Browns to cover a 6.5-point spread that looks a little too large.

Betting Trends:

  • The Steelers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games at home.
  • The Browns are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games.
  • The total has gone under in 5 of the last 7 meetings between these two teams.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Browns +6.5 (-110) – If Winston can avoid devastating interceptions I think Cleveland can hang around in this game, even if they don’t win it.
  • Moneyline: Steelers (-298) – A passable pick for parlay bets, but I think Pittsburgh is a bit overvalued here.
  • Total: Over 43 (-110) – Both offenses look impressive these days, and I think there’s sneaky shootout potential in this one.
Final Score Prediction: Steelers 27, Browns 21
Best Bet: Browns +6.5 (-110)

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Tennessee Titans Odds

TeamMoneylineSpreadTotal
Jacksonville Jaguars+154+3.5 (-108)Over 39.5 (-112)
Tennessee Titans-185-3.5 (-112)Under 39.5 (-108)

This matchup doesn’t offer much in the way of excitement, as the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars travel to Nashville to take on the floundering Tennessee Titans in a game that’s unlikely to draw much attention. Both teams are teetering on the edge of playoff elimination, but someone has to come out on top. With Trevor Lawrence’s status uncertain for Jacksonville, the Titans are slight favorites at home, though it’s hard to imagine either team generating much enthusiasm in this one.

Trevor Lawrence exited Sunday’s loss to Houston after taking a brutal hit from linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, resulting in a concussion. Lawrence was replaced by Mac Jones, but the Jaguars struggled to maintain any offensive rhythm without their starting quarterback. Al-Shaair has since been suspended for three games for the hit, leaving Jacksonville anxiously awaiting updates on Lawrence’s status. If Lawrence isn’t ready to return this week, the Jaguars’ offense will likely face an uphill battle against a Titans defense that has been reasonably effective at limiting yardage this season.

Almost nothing went right for the Titans last week in Washington, where they were blown out by the Commanders. A string of first-half turnovers dug Tennessee into a 28-0 hole by the end of the first quarter, and they never managed to recover. Despite the loss, Will Levis has shown flashes of promise in recent weeks after battling through a shoulder injury. This could be a good bounce-back opportunity for Levis, as he faces a Jacksonville defense that has struggled to stop opponents all season.

This game is a tough sell, and it’s hard to muster much enthusiasm for it. With Trevor Lawrence’s status uncertain, the Titans seem like the better bet at home—but even then, they’re far from a safe choice. Both teams have glaring flaws, making this matchup as unappealing as it gets.

Betting Trends:

  • The Titans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games.
  • The Jaguars are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against AFC South opponents.
  • The total has gone under in 6 of Tennessee’s last 8 games.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Titans -3.5 (-112) – Tennessee’s ability to control the clock with their run game gives them the advantage to cover.
  • Moneyline: Titans (-185) – Can’t bet on the Jags to win on the road.
  • Total: Under 39.5 (-108) – Expect a grind-it-out game with few points.
Final Score Prediction: Titans 20, Jaguars 16
Best Bet: Titans -3.5 (-112)

Seattle Seahawks vs Arizona Cardinals Odds

TeamMoneylineSpreadTotal
Seattle Seahawks+120+2.5 (-105)Over 44.5 (-110)
Arizona Cardinals-142-2.5 (-115)Under 44.5 (-110)

The NFC West has been a rollercoaster this season, and few could have predicted that this Cardinals-Seahawks matchup would carry significant implications for the division title. The 7-5 Seattle Seahawks currently hold a slim lead over the 6-6 Arizona Cardinals and LA Rams, while the once-dominant 49ers are shockingly in last place. Seattle is coming off a solid win in New York, while Arizona suffered a heartbreaking loss in Minneapolis, setting the stage for a pivotal divisional showdown.

The Seahawks found themselves in an early hole last week in New York, but Geno Smith rallied the team against his former club. A pivotal pick-six by Leonard Williams turned the momentum in Seattle’s favor, and Smith orchestrated a crucial fourth-quarter drive capped by a Zach Charbonnet touchdown run to seal the victory. It was a gutsy comeback performance that kept the Seahawks in the thick of the NFC West race.

This will be the second meeting in the past three weeks between these two teams. The Seahawks edged out a 16-6 victory over Arizona at home in their previous matchup, but this time around, they’ll have DK Metcalf back in the lineup after he missed the first game. Arizona’s defense has exceeded expectations this season, but they’ve struggled to limit big plays—a weakness the Seahawks will look to exploit with their deep receiving corps.

The Cardinals have exceeded expectations this season and have been a much tougher opponent when playing in Glendale. While they’re just 2-4 on the road, Arizona boasts a solid 4-2 record at home. Kyler Murray is enjoying a strong bounce-back season, but the team could benefit from more production out of rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. He caught a touchdown last week against the Vikings, but his overall role in the offense hasn’t been as significant as many anticipated coming into the year. The Cardinals will need him to step up to keep pace in this pivotal divisional clash.

Betting Trends:

  • The Cardinals are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games.
  • The Seahawks are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 divisional road games.
  • The total has gone under in 4 of Arizona’s last 6 games.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Cardinals -2.5 (-115) – Arizona’s home-field advantage should help them cover in a close game.
  • Moneyline: Cardinals (-142) – A reasonable outright pick with their recent strong home performances.
  • Total: Under 44.5 (-110) – The defenses should play a bigger role, keeping the score lower.
Final Score Prediction: Cardinals 23, Seahawks 20
Best Bet: Cardinals -2.5 (-115)

Buffalo Bills vs Los Angeles Rams Odds

TeamMoneylineSpreadTotal
Buffalo Bills-192-4 (-110)Over 49 (-110)
Los Angeles Rams+160+4 (-110)Under 49 (-110)

Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Rams shapes up to be one of the most exciting matchups on the Week 14 slate. Buffalo is riding high after an impressive victory over the 49ers in a snowy Sunday Night Football showdown. Meanwhile, the Rams went on the road and took down the Saints in New Orleans.

The Bills have already clinched the AFC East and will aim to extend their winning streak to eight games. Beyond that, they’re just one game behind Kansas City for the AFC’s top seed, with the all-important head-to-head tiebreaker in hand after their win over the Chiefs a few weeks ago. This game has major playoff implications for both teams and promises plenty of fireworks.

Josh Allen might not be getting much MVP buzz, but he certainly deserves to be in the conversation. He’s been incredibly efficient this season, throwing for 20 touchdowns against just 5 interceptions while adding 6 rushing scores to his total. Allen’s dual-threat ability has been a critical part of Buffalo’s offense, and slowing him down on the ground will be a top priority for Los Angeles. With a rushing touchdown in each of his last three games, Allen’s legs have become just as dangerous as his arm—a challenge the Rams’ defense will need to prepare for.

As usual, the Rams’ offense will run through Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, with the latter emerging as Matthew Stafford’s go-to target in recent weeks. Meanwhile, there have been some intriguing developments in the Rams’ backfield. Kyren Williams, typically the bell cow, played a season-low 68% of the snaps last week, with Blake Corum seeing a larger share at 32%. Despite the reduced workload, Williams still rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown, but it’s clear he may be feeling some pressure.

Williams has been reliable for Los Angeles this season, though his 4.2 yards per carry average leaves room for improvement. If Corum continues to carve out a larger role, the Rams could start leaning on a more balanced backfield approach moving forward.

Betting Trends:

  • The Bills are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as road favorites.
  • The Rams are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
  • The total has gone over in 5 of Buffalo’s last 7 games.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Bills -4 (-110) – Buffalo’s balanced attack and stout defense should help them cover the spread.
  • Moneyline: Bills (-192) – A solid pick outright as Buffalo continues its playoff push.
  • Total: Over 49 (-110) – With two high-powered offenses, this game could turn into a shootout.
Final Score Prediction: Bills 30, Rams 24

Chicago Bears vs San Francisco 49ers Odds

TeamMoneylineSpreadTotal
Chicago Bears+154+3.5 (-105)Over 44 (-108)
San Francisco 49ers-185-3.5 (-115)Under 44 (-112)

The Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers find themselves heading in the wrong direction, a far cry from the preseason expectations that had both teams pegged as playoff contenders. For Chicago, the wheels finally came off as the team parted ways with head coach Matt Eberflus after his disastrous clock management in their Thanksgiving loss to the Lions. Meanwhile, the 49ers continued their downward spiral with another loss on Sunday, this time to the Bills, dropping them to 5-7 and a shocking last place in the NFC West. Both teams are in desperate need of answers as their seasons slip further out of reach.

Injuries continue to mount for the 49ers, dealing yet another blow to their already disappointing season. Both Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason were placed on IR after suffering injuries in Buffalo, leaving Isaac Guerendo as the likely starter in the backfield. Meanwhile, Brandon Aiyuk is already out for the season, further depleting San Francisco’s offensive arsenal.

Brock Purdy struggled mightily last week, managing just 94 passing yards in the loss to the Bills. It feels like everything that could go wrong for the reigning NFC champions has, and with a 5-7 record, time is running out for them to turn things around and salvage their season.

One bright spot for the Bears last week was Caleb Williams, who nearly engineered a dramatic comeback after Chicago fell into a 16-0 halftime hole. The former No. 1 overall pick threw three second-half touchdown passes, keeping the Bears within striking distance, though they ultimately missed an opportunity to send the game to overtime in the final seconds.

It’s been a wildly inconsistent rookie campaign for Williams, but the former Heisman Trophy winner has shown flashes of brilliance that offer hope for the future. If he can continue to develop, Williams could finally provide Chicago with the franchise quarterback it has been searching for over the past several decades.

The 49ers look completely spent at this point in the season, plagued by injuries and underperformance. While trusting the Bears is no easy task, they could get a spark from the coaching change following Matt Eberflus’ departure. With Caleb Williams showing flashes of potential and the 49ers struggling across the board, Chicago has a decent shot to pull off the upset on the road. Take the Bears in this one.

Betting Trends:

  • The 49ers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games.
  • The Bears are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games.
  • The total has gone under in 4 of Chicago’s last 5 games.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Bears +3.5 (-105) – The Bears aren’t good, but the 49ers are utterly broken.
  • Moneyline: Bears (+154) – I don’t hate a flier on Chicago to pick up the win here.
  • Total: Under 44 (-112) – The Bears’ struggles on offense should keep the total low.
Final Score Prediction: Bears 24, 49ers 19

Kansas City Chiefs-198-4 (-110)Under 43 (-112)

Los Angeles Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs sets the stage for another exciting divisional showdown. Kansas City continued its stellar season with a win last week, improving to 11-1. However, the Chiefs can’t afford to take their foot off the gas, as they need to keep pace with the surging Bills to maintain their hold on the AFC’s top seed.

Meanwhile, the Chargers are gaining momentum after pulling out a gritty road win in Atlanta. At 7-5, they’ve positioned themselves well in the competitive wild card race, making this matchup a pivotal one for their playoff hopes. Expect fireworks in this high-stakes AFC West clash.

The Chargers came up short in their first meeting with the Chiefs this season, falling 17-10 in Los Angeles. That game took place before the Chargers’ offense began hitting its stride, so a better effort is expected from them this time around. However, the Chiefs’ defense has been one of the best in the league all year, especially on their home turf at Arrowhead Stadium, where they’ve been particularly dominant. This matchup will test LA’s ability to execute against a tough defensive unit.

The Chiefs’ high-flying, high-scoring offense may be a thing of the past, but they’ve embraced a new identity, often grinding out ugly, low-scoring wins. The key, however, is that they still find ways to win, and as long as Patrick Mahomes is under center, it’s tough to bet against them with confidence. Kansas City also welcomed Isiah Pacheco back to the lineup last week, which should bolster their ground game moving forward and add another dimension to their offense as the postseason approaches.

The Chargers are a well-coached team under Jim Harbaugh, and they’ve shown steady improvement as the season has progressed. While Kansas City’s 11-1 record is impressive, they haven’t been overwhelmingly dominant, leaving them more vulnerable than their record suggests. With Harbaugh’s leadership and the Chargers finding their groove, this could be the perfect opportunity for LA to make a statement. Take the Chargers to pull off the upset and secure a signature road victory.

Betting Trends:

  • The Chiefs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against AFC West opponents.
  • The Chargers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games.
  • The total has gone under in 4 of Kansas City’s last 5 games.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Chargers +4 (-110) – The Chiefs aren’t that impressive, and I think there’s potential for a letdown in this one.
  • Moneyline: Chargers (+164) – KC doesn’t lose at Arrowhead often, but Harbaugh will have his team ready.
  • Total: Under 43 (-112) – Both defenses should keep this game relatively low-scoring.
Final Score Prediction: Chargers 20, Chiefs 17
Best Bet: Chargers ML (+164)

Cincinnati Bengals vs Dallas Cowboys Odds

Cincinnati Bengals-238-5.5 (-108)Over 49.5 (-112)
Dallas Cowboys+195+5.5 (-112)Under 49.5 (-108)

The final game of the week had plenty of promise before the season began, but it has lost its luster as both teams have underwhelmed. The Cincinnati Bengals seem to find themselves in wild, high-scoring shootouts week after week, often coming up short. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys are clinging to playoff hopes, hoping to string together a late-season run. Dallas has won two straight games but still finds itself as 5.5-point home underdogs against a Bengals team that has struggled to consistently close out games. This one could be chaotic if nothing else.

The Cowboys picked up a win against the Giants last week at home, but let’s be honest—big whoop. This is still an offense that has struggled to generate any real momentum all season. Even with the Bengals’ defense being as porous as it is, it’s hard to imagine Dallas putting up enough points to keep pace with Cincinnati’s explosive offense. This one could get away from the Cowboys quickly if they can’t find a way to move the ball consistently.

The Bengals should have little trouble moving the ball against an underwhelming Dallas defense. Joe Burrow has been in elite form, and the emergence of Chase Brown has given Cincinnati’s offense a boost since Zack Moss went down with an injury. This feels like a game where the Bengals can dominate from start to finish. Expect them to cover the 5.5-point spread with ease and cruise to a comfortable victory. Take Cincinnati to win decisively.

Betting Trends:

  • The Bengals are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites.
  • The Cowboys are 5-3 ATS in their last 8 games as underdogs.
  • The total has gone over in 6 of Cincinnati’s last 9 games.

Predictions:

  • Spread: Bengals -5.5 (-108) – Cincinnati’s recent form and offensive firepower should help them cover.
  • Moneyline: Bengals (-238) – A strong outright pick as they continue their playoff push.
  • Total: Over 49.5 (-112) – Both offenses are capable of putting up big numbers, making the over likely.
Final Score Prediction: Bengals 45, Cowboys 21
Best Bet: Bengals -5.5 (-108)
