NFL Week 14 Betting

It is now Week 14 of the NFL season which means the postseason is starting to ramp up and it becomes a little more obvious which teams are legit or not. Here are some NFL betting picks for Week 14.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Tennessee Titans: Under 40 points

Let’s be honest, not a lot of people are going to be tuning into this game unless you are an NFL Draft person. This could decide some of the top picks in next year’s draft depending on the winner of this matchup.

Now to the actual game, Trevor Lawrence is out for the season and the Jaguars have completely lost everything they had the past couple of seasons and are reverting back to the teams at the very beginning of the 2020s.

The Titans are a team that also has some really nice pieces but just aren’t real great together. Will Levis is still the quarterback and he’s good for at least one costly interception per game which could hold the scoring to a minimum.

I don’t expect a lot of scoring in this matchup and 40 points seems like a really good line to hammer the under on.

Carolina Panthers (+13.5) vs Philadelphia Eagles

This one might come as a surprise initially but hear me out on the Panthers to cover what is an enormous spread.

Saquon Barkley will continue to run crazy like he normally does and the offense is definitely not going to slow down for the Eagles.

However, ever since Bryce Young has been inserted back into the lineup, he has resurged himself and is showing reasons why he was not only selected first in the NFL Draft but why the Panthers traded three first-round picks for the former Heisman Trophy winner.

Expect Young and company to hang around and at least keep it within two touchdowns.

Los Angeles Chargers ML vs Kansas City Chiefs +175

This could be another one that will catch people by surprise but the magic that Jim Harbaugh has is something special with the Chargers. I know it’s in Arrowhead, but still, the Chargers’ defense is not something to be messed with and can give Patrick Mahomes a lot of problems.

Speaking of magic, the Chargers will have to overcome whatever magic the Chiefs have been using to continue to win games this season.

The Chiefs consistently are in one-score games and I don’t think this one goes their way. The Chargers are good enough to be able to take down the Chiefs and this could set up for a future rivalry between the Chiefs and Chargers, as well as Justin Herbert and Mahomes.

Cincinnati Bengals (-5.5) vs Dallas Cowboys

This game is only on Monday Night Football still because of The Simpsons. If The Simpsons weren’t having their own broadcast of this game, it wouldn’t even be close to a Monday Night Football game.

The Bengals defense may just be the worst defense in the entire NFL. On the flip side, the Cowboys' offense may be one of the worst offenses in the NFL.

The Bengals and Joe Burrow pick apart the Cowboys’ defense and run away with this game. Cincinnati will win by much more than 5.5 points.

If you parlay all four of these picks it’s a +1598 parlay, which are incredible odds for these picks.
