NFL Week 14 Picks Against The Spread 2022: Predictions ATS, Odds, Upset Winners
Several teams that are in the latest 2022 NFL playoff picture are underdogs on the Week 14 schedule. Wins for the Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers would all be considered upsets, according to the point spreads.
Here are picks against the spread for every game in Week 14 and updated betting odds from FanDuel and DraftKings Sportsbook.
Las Vegas Raiders (-6) at Los Angeles Rams
The Rams were competitive at home against the Seahawks and covered the spread in Week 13. Los Angeles can do the same against Las Vegas, which usually plays close games. The Raiders only have two wins by more than one score.
Prediction ATS: Los Angeles
Minnesota Vikings (+2.5) at Detroit Lions
Why are the Lions favored against the 10-2 Vikings a week after Detroit was a home underdog against Jacksonville? Minnesota keeps finding ways to win games, going 9-0 against opponents that enter Week 14 with fewer than nine wins. The Vikings have a good chance to pull off what would be considered an outright upset.
Prediction ATS: Minnesota
New York Jets (+9.5) at Buffalo Bills
This point spread is way too high, given how competitive the Jets have been, including against the Bills. New York beat Buffalo 20-17, led by a defense that has become a top-five unit. The Jets have no losses by more than a touchdown in the last nine games.
Prediction ATS: New York
Baltimore Ravens (+3) at Pittsburgh Steelers
The Ravens weren't playing great football before Lamar Jackson got hurt. Now that Tyler Huntley seems likely to start at quarterback, Baltimore might have trouble winning in Pittsburgh. The Steelers are 4-1 when T.J. Watt plays.
Prediction ATS: Pittsburgh
Philadelphia Eagles (-7) at New York Giants
The Giants upset the Eagles last season by picking off Jalen Hurts three times. New York has a chance to keep this game close like they have done for much of the season. The Giants are 2-0 against the spread as home underdogs.
Prediction ATS: New York
Cleveland Browns (+6) at Cincinnati Bengals
Deshaun Watson looked like a quarterback who hadn't played in nearly two years when he made his Browns debut. The quarterback completed just 54.5% of his passes for 131 yards and didn't lead Cleveland on any touchdown drives. Joe Burrow is playing as well as any quarterback right now, averaging a 107.6 passer rating during Cincinnati's four-game winning streak.
Prediction: Cincinnati
Jacksonville Jaguars (+3.5) at Tennessee Titans
This point spread suggests that the Titans are only about a point better than the Jaguars on a neutral field, and that simply isn't the case. Tennessee is three games ahead of Jacksonville in the AFC South. The Titans have only been defeated by playoff teams, including arguably the top-four championship contenders. Tennessee has beaten Jacksonville five straight times by an average of 16.8 points per game.
Prediction ATS: Tennessee
Houston Texans (+17) at Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys are going to win this game, and the only question is their margin of victory. It's almost never wise to lay 17 points, even against the 1-10-1 Texans. Houston has only been defeated by more than 17 points once.
Prediction ATS: Houston
Kansas City Chiefs (-9) at Denver Broncos
Denver's last-ranked scoring offense is averaging 11.3 points during its four-game losing streak. Kansas City, on the other hand, has scored at least 24 points in each of its last four games. The Broncos' defense is usually among the league's best, but that hasn't stopped Patrick Mahomes from going 9-0 against Denver in his career. The Chiefs are the right pick as long as the spread is fewer than 10 points.
Prediction ATS: Kansas City
Carolina Panthers (+3.5) at Seattle Seahawks
An argument can be made that Seattle should probably be favored by close to a touchdown. The Panthers are 0-5 on the road, giving up 27.0 points per game. Geno Smith's 107.5 passer rating as a Seahawk is 34.1 points better than Sam Darnold's rating as a Panther.
Prediction ATS: Seattle
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3.5) at San Francisco 49ers
Tom Brady's late-game heroics won't work against this San Francisco defense. The 49ers forced Tua Tagovailoa, the league-leader in passer rating, to throw for two interceptions and a 79.5 rating last week. The Buccaneers are averaging 15.4 points on the road and have scored fewer than 23 points in eight straight games. Brock Purdy was impressive in relief of Jimmy Garoppolo.
Prediction ATS: San Francisco
Miami Dolphins (-3) at Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers haven't beaten a good team all season long, going 0-4 against teams that have winning records. Tagovailoa should bounce back against a defense that is 30th in points per game allowed. The Dolphins scored at least 30 points in four straight games before losing in San Francisco against the No. 1 scoring defense.
Prediction ATS: Miami
New England Patriots (-1.5) at Arizona Cardinals
The Patriots can end their two-game losing streak against a team that has only beaten opponents with losing records. Bill Belichick gives New England a significant coaching advantage in this matchup.
Prediction ATS: New England
Season Record: 95-96-4
