NFL Week 14 Picks Against The Spread 2021: Predictions ATS, Betting Odds, Matchups

Five teams in the Week 14 playoff picture are betting underdogs on the upcoming schedule. The Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans are Sunday’s biggest favorites. There are three divisional matchups with a betting line of three points or fewer.

Here are picks against the spread for every game in Week 14, as well as updated betting odds. Betting lines come from FanDuel Sportsbook.

Pittsburgh Steelers (+3) at Minnesota Vikings

Considering how many close games these teams play, taking the points is the best bet. With a quick turnaround for Thursday’s game, the Vikings might be missing Dalvin Cook and Adam Thielen, in addition to key defensive players like Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks. Minnesota is 26th in opponents’ yards per play and 30th in total defense.

Prediction ATS: Pittsburgh

Dallas Cowboys (-4) at Washington Football Team

The Cowboys are still the class of the NFC East, and they’ll show it with a win in Washington. Expect Dak Prescott to bounce back from a few shaky performances now that his full complement of weapons is healthy. Washington is 1-4 against teams in the playoff picture. The defense ranks 28th in opponents’ yards per play.

Prediction ATS: Dallas

New Orleans Saints (-5.5) at New York Jets

Even against the Jets, it's hard to lay 5.5 points with either Taysom Hill or Trevor Siemian under center. The Saints have fallen apart without Jameis Winston, losing five straight games. New Orleans ranks 24th in both total offense and yards per play. The Saints are down to 17th in opponents’ yards per play.

Prediction ATS: New York

Atlanta Falcons (+3) at Carolina Panthers

The Panthers beat the Falcons 19-13 in Atlanta on Oct. 31. Carolina ranks second in total defense because of how well the unit has played against bad teams. Atlanta is 25th in yards per play, and the offense has been responsible for 34 total points in the last four games.

Prediction ATS: Carolina

Jacksonville Jaguars (+8.5) at Tennessee Titans

Without Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown, the Titans are unlikely to beat the Jaguars by three scores for a second time this season. Look for Tennessee to escape with a win against a Jacksonville team that might be the league’s worst.

Prediction ATS: Jacksonville

Baltimore Ravens (+2.5) at Cleveland Browns

This should be a close, low-scoring game between two teams that are in an offensive funk. The Ravens defeated the Browns 16-10 in Week 12 when Lamar Jackson threw four interceptions. The bye likely didn’t heal all of Baker Mayfield’s injuries, which have contributed to the quarterback ranking 26th in QBR among 32 starters.

Prediction ATS: Baltimore

Las Vegas Raiders (+9.5) at Kansas City Chiefs

The AFC West rivals are headed in completely opposite directions. The Raiders have lost four of their last five games, failing to score 17 points in each defeat. The Chiefs are giving up 11.2 points per game during their five-game winning streak, which includes a 41-14 victory in Las Vegas.

Prediction ATS: Kansas City

Seattle Seahawks (-7.5) at Houston Texans

The Texans have lost five of their last seven games by eight points or more. Neither Tyrod Taylor nor Davis Mills has been able to jumpstart the league’s worst offense. Russell Wilson could be getting closer to being fully recovered from his finger injury after completing 81.1% of his passes in a Week 13 win.

Prediction ATS: Seattle

San Francisco 49ers (-1) at Cincinnati Bengals

It’s hard to know what you’re getting out of either team on a week-to-week basis. The 49ers blew out the Bengals 41-17 two seasons ago. San Francisco is 4-2 on the road. Cincinnati has lost three of its last four home games.

Prediction ATS: San Francisco

New York Giants (+10.5) at Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers are 3-5 against the spread as favorites with only two wins this season by more than six points. Los Angeles could be looking ahead to its key AFC West matchup with Kansas City in Week 15 and allow the Giants to hang around.

Prediction ATS: New York

Detroit Lions (+8) at Denver Broncos

The Lions have the NFL’s worst record straight up, but only four teams have a better record against the spread. Detroit has played four straight games decided by a field goal or less. Teddy Bridgewater is averaging just 210.2 passing yards in the last six games.

Prediction ATS: Detroit

Buffalo Bills (+3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Buffalo’s win over Kansas City is its only quality victory of the season. The Patriots, Titans and Colts all ran the ball at will in wins over the Bills. Tom Brady has proven to be the much better MVP candidate than Josh Allen, who will take on a Tampa Bay secondary that is finally getting healthy.

Prediction ATS: Tampa Bay

Chicago Bears (+12.5) at Green Bay Packers

The Packers are going to win this game, but they don’t typically beat teams by 13 points or more. Green Bay has only one such victory in the last five games, and the team is still dealing with injuries to three of their best players. Chicago has been defeated by 13 points or more once since Week 4.

Prediction ATS: Chicago

Los Angeles Rams (+3) at Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals are simply the better team. Arizona has the NFL’s best record and nine wins by seven points or more. Kyler Murray had a 120.3 passer rating in the Cardinals’ 37-20 victory over the Rams in Week 4. Los Angeles is 1-4 against teams in the latest playoff picture, suffering each loss by at least eight points.

Prediction ATS: Arizona

Season Record: 94-97-3
