As we’ve turned the calendars over to December, the NFL is entering crunch time with Week 14 signaling the beginning of the final stretch to the regular season.

This can be seen with the opening matchup of the week as the Detroit Lions host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football. Both teams will be fighting for Playoff spots at this point of the season, with the Lions looking at the top spot in the NFC Conference.

Week 14 closes with a Monday Night Football matchup that features the same scenario as the Los Angeles Chargers host the Philadelphia Eagles. The reigning Super Bowl champs are the one team that can stop the Lions from claiming the NFC’s top spot.

The AFC Conference’s top spot will also be in the spotlight this week as the Cincinnati Bengals play at the Buffalo Bills and the Houston Texans head to Kansas City to battle the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.

Week 14 features four NFL teams on bye: Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers.

Without any further delay, let’s take a look at the NFL Week 14 odds and make our early Week 14 picks. There’s no shame in getting your Week 14 NFL bets in early as there is some value on the boards.

NFL Week 14 Schedule

NFL Week 14 Odds

Week 14 is when we come out of a food coma from Week 13’s festivities for the Thanksgiving Holiday. And, thankfully, there are some great matchups in Week 14 with appealing NFL odds.

One game that’s not “must see” is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting divisional rival the New Orleans Saints. The Bucs are this week’s biggest betting favorite at the top sports betting sites, with a spread of -9.5 points and moneyline of -395.

The Ravens host the Steelers in an AFC North clash and Baltimore is just behind the Bucs with a -380 moneyline as they’re favored by 8.5 points.

The highest total for the week, along with the most exciting player prop bets, is the Bengals vs. Bills matchup with an Over/Under of 49.5 points.

There are a few road favorites to keep an eye on as well, with the Eagles heading to LA favored by 2.5 points and the Broncos heading to LV favored by 3.5 points. Both road teams are more than capable of covering.

NFL Week 14 Predictions

Let’s take a look at the full slate of NFL Week 14 matchups and make our NFL picks for each game.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Detroit Lions Odds

After 32 games against each other, the Dallas Cowboys lead this series with a 19-13 record. These two teams have played three years in a row and the Cowboys have gone 2-1. The Detroit Lions won last year’s matchup 47-9. Detroit is 9-6 all-time at home versus the Cowboys.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Detroit Lions Predictions

It’s hard to imagine that the Cowboys are going to challenge for the NFC Title this season. However, I do expect them to make a run at one of the final NFC Wild Card spots. Unfortunately, that run will hit a speed bump in Week 14.

Detroit is the better team on all levels. And, playing at home will make it even harder for Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense to keep up the scoring pace with the Lions.

I like for Detroit to get out to a fast start and cruise to the finish line with an easy win by more than a touchdown. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Lions win by double digits.

Bet: Detroit Lions (-250), Lions -6 (-110)

Seattle Seahawks vs. Atlanta Falcons Odds

These teams have played against each other 22 times, and the Seattle Seahawks have the advantage with a 13-9 series record. They’ve also won three of the last four meetings. Additionally, the Atlanta Falcons are just 4-8 at home versus Seattle. The Seahawks have won four of the last five meetings in Atlanta.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Atlanta Falcons Predictions

I think this Week 14 matchup could be a sneaky one. Both teams have the potential to fight the Cowboys for the final Wild Card spot. In fact, I think the winner of this game will probably take the 7^th seed in the NFC after Week 14.

I see that winner being the Falcons. I like this roster, especially on offense. I don’t believe Seattle’s offense will be dynamic enough to outscore Atlanta in their dome.

Look for Penix, London and Robinson to lead this offense and team to a victory of at least three points. If Penix evolves as I think he will, then this could be the point of the season where Atlanta establishes themselves as a real Playoff contender.

Bet: Atlanta Falcons (-120), Falcons -1.5 (-110)

New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds

Coming into this season, the New Orleans Saints hold the lead in their rivalry against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a 40-27 record. However, the Bucs have won five of the last six meetings and swept the Saints last year.

New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Predictions

This NFC South clash is going to be as one-sided as the Week 14 odds indicate. The Buccaneers are by far the better team and should make the Playoffs once again. The only question is whether or not they win the division or clinch a Wild Card spot.

The Saints will be in full tank mode by the beginning of December as they have one of the least talented rosters in the NFL. I expect Tampa to easily win this game in convincing fashion.

I’m avoiding the spread for now as Tampa could pack it in and allow the Saints backups to score garbage time points.

Bet: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-395)

Tennessee Titans vs. Cleveland Browns Odds

If you count their time as the Houston Oilers, then this series has seen 69 total meetings. And, it’s the Cleveland Browns with the advantage at 37-32 over the Tennessee Titans.

The Browns have won the last two meetings with the most recent contest coming in 2023. The Browns won that 27-3. The Browns are also 20-14 in road games versus the Titans.

Tennessee Titans vs. Cleveland Browns Predictions

Without a doubt, this is the toilet bowl game of the week. In fact, these two teams will probably be fighting for the no. 1 pick in the 2026 draft.

I believe Cleveland will win this game due to their defense. However, if they were really smart, then they would tank and draft the top QB in the 2026 class. Despite having five QBs on their roster, and drafting two in 2025, none of them are worthy of being the franchise QB.

The Titans do have a franchise QB in Cam Ward, but they lack many other skilled players in key positions on both sides of the ball. Ward will show his potential throughout the year, but this Tennessee team is one year away from a winning record.

Bet: Cleveland Browns (-122), Browns -1.5 (-110)

Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Odds

Entering the season, these two divisional rivals have played against each other 48 times and it’s the Indianapolis Colts with the lead. Indy is 28-20 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yet, it’s the Jags that have won three of the last four meetings and five of the last seven.

The Jaguars have won 10 straight games at home against the Colts. Indy has not won in Jacksonville since 2014.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Predictions

This AFC South clash will be more about bragging rights than anything else. Neither team has the talent to compete for the division title or a Wild Card spot. In fact, I expect both to pretty much be eliminated from the Playoffs at this point in the season.

As for the winner, I like the Colts more than the Jaguars. In fact, if Indy had a solid QB, then they could be a Playoff team with the amount of talent on both sides of the ball. The Jags have a solid QB and receivers, but not much else.

I think Indy will win this matchup. Even if you want to give the edge to Jacksonville, Indy getting a field goal is still a smart play.

Bet: Indianapolis Colts (+135), Colts +3 (-110)

Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets Odds

This AFC rivalry has seen 119 meetings between the two teams. The Miami Dolphins hold a slight lead with a 61-57-1 record. The Dolphins have also defeated the New York Jets in four of the last five meetings and eight of the last 10 matchups.

Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets Predictions

Much like the game above, this AFC East clash between the Dolphins and Jets should also be for bragging rights and nothing else. The Jets will finish last in the division and make a run at one of the top picks in next year’s draft. Would be smart to draft a franchise QB as Fields is not the answer.

As for the Dolphins, they could finish with a winning record but I don’t see them contending for the division title or a Playoff spot. I think the Bills will have this division wrapped up by Week 14 and there are at least three better teams in the AFC than Miami.

As for the winner, I love the value we’re getting here with Miami as they will still be fighting for something while the Jets will be thinking about off-season vacation plans.

Bet: Miami Dolphins (-120), Dolphins -1.5 (-110)

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens Odds

Entering the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers hold the advantage in this rivalry with a 36-27 record. In fact, the Steelers have won nine of the last 12 meetings. However, the Baltimore Ravens won both matchups last year, and did so by double digits.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens Predictions

Oddmakers are definitely confident in the Ravens for this AFC North clash with the Steelers. I agree that Baltimore will win this game. However, taking them to win by at least nine points is asking a lot of the Ravens.

Sure, Baltimore has the talent on both sides of the ball to beat any team. However, the Steelers aren’t just any team. They’re the one rival that gives Baltimore the toughest time.

By this point of the season, we’ll definitely know if Pittsburgh is any good with Aaron Rodgers leading the offense. If they can get any consistency from the offense, then the Steelers could surprise the detractors.

This game could end up being an ugly one played in inclement weather, which will also mean that points could be lower. With that said, I’m taking the Ravens to win but avoiding the spread and Total for now.

Bet: Baltimore Ravens (-380)

Washington Commanders vs. Minnesota Vikings Odds

The Minnesota Vikings hold a slight lead in this series with a 15-13 record. Additionally, the Vikings have won four of the last five matchups and seven of the last nine meetings.

The Washington Commanders have dropped their last two trips to Minnesota, but are 7-8 as the road team in this series.

Washington Commanders vs. Minnesota Vikings Predictions

I like this matchup for Washington. Give me Jayden Daniels over JJ McCarthy any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

The Commanders have the better overall team as well, which oddsmakers seem to like Minnesota a lot this year. Personally, I do not think the Vikings will be as good as last year and I don’t see them making the Playoffs.

I do believe the Commanders are one of the Top 4 teams in the NFC and will give both the Eagles and Lions a run for the conference’s top spot.

At such low odds, I love the value we’re getting with Washington. I expect this offense to light up Minnesota’s suspect pass defense and for Daniels to be the best player on the field in victory.

Bet: Washington Commanders (-120), Commanders -1.5 (-110)

Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers Odds

These two iconic franchises have played against each other 210 times coming into the season. And, it’s the Green Bay Packers with a sizable lead at 108-96-6.

Additionally, the Packers had won 11 games in a row over their rival until the Chicago Bears pulled off an upset last year at Green Bay.

The Packers are 8-1 in their last nine home games versus the Bears and hold a 53-43-4 all-time record at Lambeau Field against Chicago.

Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers Predictions

The oldest rivalry in football could play a significant role in whether or not either of these teams make the Playoffs. I don’t see either NFC North rival winning the division, but I can see both fighting for Wild Card spots.

I also expect this game to be a close one, which is why I like the Bears to cover the spread. They are poised for an improvement this year and we should see that early in the season. If they have a winning record by Week 14, then they could be the better of the two teams.

As for now, taking the Packers to win at home is the safe bet, but don’t take them to cover.

Bet: Green Bay Packers (-185), Bears +3.5 (-110)

Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders Odds

Coming into this season, the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos have played against each other 131 times. The Raiders hold the lead with a 73-56-2 record.

Denver swept both games last year by double digits, outscoring the Raiders 63 to 37. Yet, the Raiders had won eight consecutive games against the Broncos prior to last year.

Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders Predictions

I think this AFC West matchup will be like taking candy from a baby. The Denver Broncos are by far the superior team in this Week 14 battle. In fact, this defense could end up shutting out the Raiders inferior and inconsistent offense.

Denver will have one of the best defenses in the league and I don’t see the Raiders being any good on offense until they get a few more playmaking receivers and improve their offensive line.

Denver’s offense should find plenty of success as well. The Raiders don’t have a good defense and Bo Nix will pick apart this secondary. I’m more than comfortable taking Denver up to 6.5 points in this matchup.

Bet: Denver Broncos (-175), Broncos -3.5 (-110)

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Buffalo Bills Odds

After 34 all-time meetings, both teams have won 17 games apiece. The Cincinnati Bengals have taken three of the last four meetings including two in a row. Those two victories came in 2023. The first was the Damar Hamlin incident and the second was in the Playoffs.

The Buffalo Bills are 10-6 in home games against the Bengals, but have not won at home over Cincy since 2019.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Buffalo Bills Predictions

This should be the best game of the week. Two Super Bowl hopefuls battling for a key tiebreaker and win in the AFC. By this point of the season, both teams should be well on their way to making the Playoffs. The Bills will win the AFC East and the Bengals will get the 5^th seed.

As for the game itself, I expect a high scoring affair to easily surpass 50 total points. I wouldn’t be surprised if Buffalo surpasses 30 points on offense. The Bengals defense is going to be that bad. But Cincy’s offense will score a ton of points.

I like for Buffalo to win this game due to their defense coming up with some key stops late in the contest. Josh Allen will outplay Joe Burrow and lead the Bills to a big victory.

Bet: Buffalo Bills (-225), Bengals (+5.5), Over 49.5 (-110)

Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals Odds

Entering the 2025-26 NFL Season, these two divisional foes have played against each other 94 times. The Los Angeles Rams lead the series with a 51-41-2 record. The Rams are 8-3 in the last 11 meetings, but these teams split the two matchups last year.

The Arizona Cardinals won at home against the Rams by the score of 41-10. It was LA’s worst loss of the season. Prior to that win, the Rams had won nine games in a row at AZ.

Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals Prediction

I am higher on the Cardinals this season than most. Yet, I believe the Rams will be the class of the NFC West. And, while this should be an entertaining divisional battle, I expect LA to pick up the victory on the road at Arizona.

The Cardinals have the potential to pull off the upset at home. However, I think the Rams are going to be one of the four best teams in the NFC. This defense will give Arizona’s offensive line troubles, while LA’s offense will pick apart the Cardinals’ secondary.

Look for Matthew Stafford and company to put up big numbers statistically. This could also be a great game for fantasy football as well. Give me the Rams up to three points.

Bet: Los Angeles Rams (-120), Rams -1.5 (-110)

Houston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs Odds

The Kansas City Chiefs come into this Week 14 matchup having won five games in a row over the Houston Texans and hold an 11-5 all-time record in this series. KC beat Houston twice last year: once in the regular season and once in the Playoffs.

The Texans haven’t beat the Chiefs since 2019, and are 2-5 in games played at Kansas City.

Houston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs Predictions

Sunday Night Football should be a great game if the Texans are healthy and play to their full potential. They have added plenty of talent in the offseason for such a game as this. If you remember, it was the Chiefs that knocked them out of the Playoffs in this very stadium.

KC will remain the top seed in the AFC until the Ravens or Bills can knock them off their perch. Houston is inching closer in this race or AFC powerhouses, but we need to see if their offense can be elite like the Ravens, Bills, Chiefs and Bengals.

As for KC, I like them to pick up the victory but I do see it being closer than a touchdown. This could be a one-score game where a field goal decides the winner. Avoid the spread for now and take KC at home.

Bet: Kansas City Chiefs (-265)  

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Chargers Odds

Surprisingly, the Los Angeles Chargers hold the advantage in this series with an 8-5 record. They’ve also taken three of the last four matchups, which includes their most recent contest in 2021.

The Chargers are 5-2 all-time at home against the Philadelphia Eagles, but Philly did win their last trip to LA in 2017.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Chargers Predictions

Both of these teams will be in Playoff contention once again. The Eagles should be leading the NFC East by this point of the season and the Chargers will be in the thick of the Wild Card race.

However, I believe that Philly is the better overall team and I’m surprised by how close these odds are.

The Eagles defense should keep Justin Herbert and company in check for most of the game. However, you can’t say the same thing about LA’s defense.

Look for this Philly offense to put up big yards and points, while the Chargers fail to keep pace. Eventually, the Eagles will pull away and soar to another victory of at least a touchdown or more.

Bet: Philadelphia Eagles (-130), Eagles -2.5 (-110)

NFL Week 14 Best Bets

Check out our best NFL bets for Week 14:

• Washington Commanders (-120)
• Denver Broncos (-175)
• Bengals vs. Bills Over 49.5 (-110)
• Philadelphia Eagles (-130)

The Vikings might have the all-time advantage in the series but the Commanders are the better team. Daniels outplays McCarthy and Washington picks up the big road victory.

The Denver Broncos are going to be a Playoff team once again. The Raiders will not. This Denver defense will maul the Raiders and the Broncos will win by double digits.

Two explosive offenses will meet in Buffalo and they will definitely score over 50 points. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bengals and Bills didn’t have 50 by the third quarter.

Although the Chargers hold an all-time advantage over the Eagles, Philly has the better team on both sides of the ball. The defense will stifle LA, and the offense will soar to a win of at least seven points.

If you want to combine all of these picks into an NFL parlay, then you would win $873 on a $100 wager. That’s an 8x on your investment. And, with these picks, it feels like easy money.
