If the NFL Week 14 betting odds mean anything, the upcoming schedule of games could be one of the most competitive of the 2017 season. No team is favored by more than a touchdown Sunday, and only six of the week’s games have early betting lines of more than a field goal.

It all starts with what might be the best “Thursday Night Football” game of the year. The New Orleans Saints visit the Atlanta Falcons in a critical NFC South matchup. The point spread favors the visiting first-place Saints, who could keep Atlanta out of the playoff picture with a win on the road. The contest features the largest over/under of Week 14.

A few NFC playoff contenders like the Falcons are underdogs in Week 14. The Carolina Panthers are getting three points when they host the Minnesota Vikings, who have the No.1 seed in the conference. A week after losing their second game of the season, the Philadelphia Eagles are two-point underdogs against the Los Angeles Rams. The Seattle Seahawks are underdogs in their road game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The New York Giants are home underdogs against the Dallas Cowboys after the firing of head coach Ben McAdoo. Eli Manning is expected to return as the starting quarterback.

Following their win over the Giants, the Oakland Raiders are four-point underdogs against the Kansas City Chiefs. Oakland, Kansas City and L.A. are all tied atop the AFC West with 6-6 records.

The final two games of the week have the biggest point spreads. The Pittsburgh Steelers can lock up the AFC North crown with a win over the Baltimore Ravens on “Sunday Night Football.” The New England Patriots are the week’s only double-digit favorites, and they’ll visit the Miami Dolphins on “Monday Night Football.”

Early betting lines are unavailable for two games because of quarterback injuries. Matthew Stafford suffered a hand injury in the Detroit Lions’ Week 13 loss, and it’s unknown how effective he might be under center Sunday. Tyrod Taylor is being listed as day-to-day after suffering a bruised patellar tendon in the Buffalo Bills’ loss to New England.

Below are the complete betting lines for all the Week 14 games, including the point spreads and totals. These are the consensus odds from multiple sportsbooks in Las Vegas and online, via OddsShark.
