  • The Bengals enter on a high after their first victory of the season in Week 13, while the Browns suffered a 20-13 loss against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
  • Cincinnati is 8-2 ATS across their past 10 road games, and they’re 17-8 ATS in the past 25 games against AFC opponents.
  • The Browns are 7-3 ATS across their past 10 games inside the AFC North, but they’re just 11-23-1 ATS in the past 35 at home.
  • The Under is 4-1-1 in Cincinnati’s past six games against the AFC North, while going 12-3-2 in the past 17 games overall.
  • The Under is 18-8-1 in the past 27 at home for the Browns, while going 15-5-1 in the past 21 at FirstEnergy Stadium against teams with a losing road mark.

Bengals at Browns: Key injuries

Bengals: WR John Ross (collarbone) and LB Nick Vigil (ankle) are expected to play, while DE Sam Hubbard (knee) and TE Drew Sample (ankle) are out.

Browns: TE David Njoku (wrist) and DE Olivier Vernon (knee) are expected to be ready, while QB Baker Mayfield (hand) will also be fine. WR Odell Beckham Jr. (groin) is expected to be ready, too.

Bengals at Browns: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 8 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Browns 23, Bengals 17

Moneyline (?)

The Browns (-334) are just too expensive, and they haven’t been consistent enough this season to lay more than three times your money. The Bengals (+260), on the other hand, have struggled all season obviously, but they looked better with QB Andy Dalton regaining his starting spot against the Jets. They’re no pushover, at least for an inconsistent Browns side.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the moneyline returns a $2.99 profit with a Cleveland victory.

Against the Spread (?)

The BENGALS (+7.5, -112) catching seven and a hook is the key. Whenever you’re betting the underdog, those hooks can come in handy. The Browns (-7.5, -115) have a 2-3-1 ATS mark across their six games so far this season.

Over/Under (?)

UNDER 41.5 (-110) is a nice small-unit bet, although this one will be close in the fourth quarter. Don’t go crazy, but if you’re looking for a nice parlay, the Bengals and the points with the Under is a decent pairing.

Indianapolis Colts at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s Indianapolis Colts at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 14 matchup, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets

[jwplayer zJQrqHUv]

The Indianapolis Colts (6-6) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-7) tussle at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. We analyze the Colts-Buccaneers sports betting odds and lines, with NFL betting picks and tips for the Week 14 matchup.

Colts at Buccaneers: Week 14 preview, betting trends and notes

Get some action on the game at BetMGM by placing a sports bet!

  • When these teams meet, you should recall a Monday night battle in 2003 when Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison erupted for a giant comeback from 35-14 down with about seven minutes remaining.
  • The Colts head into this one with a 6-2-1 ATS mark across the past nine road games.
  • The Buccaneers enter 2-6 ATS across the past eight games overall, and they’re 0-5 ATS in the previous five contests at home.
  • The under is 5-2 across Indy’s past seven on the road, while going 21-5 in the next 26 games following a double-digit loss at home.
  • The Over has cashed in nine of the past 10 for the Bucs, while going 4-0 in the previous four at the RayJay.
  • Indy ranks fourth in rushing yards (139.0 YPG), and they’re ninth in the NFL against the run (101.8 YPG).
  • Tampa ranks fifth in the NFL in total yards (380.4 YPG), fourth in passing yards (284.2 YPG) and fourth in points scored (28.3 PPG).
  • The Bucs are second in the NFL against the run (76.3 YPG), but they’re 31st against the pass (281.8 YPG) and 30th in points allowed (28.8 PPG).

Colts at Buccaneers: Key injuries

Colts: CB Kenny Moore II (ankle), WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) and PK Adam Vinatieri (knee) are listed as out. RB Marlon Mack (hand) is likely to make his return, while WR Parris Campbell (hand) might also play.

Buccaneers: LB Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) and DB M.J. Stewart (knee) are questionable.

Colts at Buccaneers: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 7:20 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Buccaneers 31, Colts 23

Moneyline (?)

The Buccaneers (-176) are a moderate favorite, but you’re better off playing the spread. If you like the Colts (+145), they’re a much better value on the ML.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Bucs moneyline returns a $5.68 profit with a Tampa victory.

Against the Spread (?)

The BUCCANEERS (-3.5, +100) are laying three and the hook, and that’s always a worry for bettors. However, the way the Colts (+3.5, -121) looked last week with the Tennessee Titans marching the ball up and down the field, the Bucs look like a safe play at home.

Over/Under (?)

OVER 47.5 (-106) is a good play based upon Tampa’s struggles against the pass, and the solid passing on both sides. The Bucs held the Jacksonville Jaguars down last week, but posted plenty on offense. They won’t hold the Colts in check, as Indy is much more gifted, and they might get a big bump with Mack returning to the backfield, too.

San Francisco 49ers at New Orleans Saints odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s San Francisco 49ers at New Orleans Saints sports betting odds and lines, with Week 14 NFL betting picks and best bets.

The San Francisco 49ers (10-2) visit the New Orleans Saints (10-2) Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in a marquee NFC matchup between teams battling for a playoff bye. The game will kick off at 1 p.m. ET. We analyze the 49ers-Saints odds and sports betting lines, while providing sports betting tips and advice on this matchup.

49ers at Saints: Week 14 preview, betting trends and notes

Get some action on the games by betting at BetMGM. New customer offer: RISK-FREE First Bet (up to $500!) paid in free bets.

  • The Saints are coming off a 26-18 road win over the Atlanta Falcons on Thanksgiving. The 49ers took their second loss of the season on the road, losing 20-17 at the Baltimore Ravens.
  • This is the first meeting between the two teams since Kyle Shanahan was hired as 49ers head coach to begin the 2017 season.
  • The 49ers have had three different leading rushers and four different leading receivers this season. The Saints have had two different rushing leaders and three receiving leaders.
  • The 49ers are 4-19 when allowing 250 or more passing yards in a game since the start of 2016. Saints QB Drew Brees is averaging 255.8 passing yards per game this year. The Niners are allowing a league-low 134.3 yards per game through the air.
  • The Saints are tied for second in the league with a turnover differential of plus-11. The Niners are eighth at plus-6.

49ers at Saints: Key injuries

49ers RB Matt Breida (ankle) is expected to return this week.

49ers at Saints: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.

Prediction

49ers 23, Saints 18

Moneyline (?)

The 49ers (+120) have the defense to slow Brees and RB Alvin Kamara. They’re in a tight battle with the Seattle Seahawks for the NFC West title, while the Saints have cruised all season atop the NFC South.

The Niners have more offensive weapons as head coaches Shanahan and Sean Payton meet in a play-calling battle.

Against the Spread (?)

The NINERS (+2.5, -106) are also a good play on the spread where they’ll need to stay within two points in a loss or win outright. The Saints are 8-4 against the spread overall while the 49ers are 7-4-1, but San Francisco covers by an average of 10.1 points per game with New Orleans covering by an average of just 0.7 PPG.

Over/Under (?)

Take the UNDER 44.5 (-106) as the Niners try to slow this one down. Both teams play more than a point below the projected point totals on average with the Saints 6-6 against the Over/Under and the 49ers 5-7. Games at the Superdome have gone 3-3 against the O/U.

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons sports betting odds and lines, with NFL Week 14 betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Atlanta Falcons (3-9) host the Carolina Panthers (5-7) Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in a rematch of the Week 11 meeting which the Falcons won 29-3 as visitors. The Week 14 tilt kicks off at 1 p.m. ET. We analyze the Panthers-Falcons odds and sports betting lines, while providing NFL betting tips and picks for this matchup.

Panthers at Falcons: Week 14 preview, betting trends and notes

Get some action on the games by betting at BetMGM. New customer offer: RISK-FREE First Bet (up to $500!) paid in free bets.

  • The Falcons took a 26-18 loss at home against the New Orleans Saints on Thanksgiving.
  • The Panthers have lost four in a row, with only one of those games played within eight points. They fired head coach Ron Rivera earlier this week and replaced him with Perry Fewell.
  • The Falcons are 1-19 when scoring fewer than 22 points since the start of the 2016 season. They’re averaging 21.7 points per game this year while the Panthers give up 26.7 PPG.
  • Atlanta allows a league-high 408.5 yards from scrimmage per game when at home.
  • The Panthers are 14-0 when not committing any turnovers since the start of 2016. They have a minus-2 turnover differential this year (22 giveaways) while the Falcons are minus-11 (21 giveaways).

Panthers at Falcons: Key injuries

Panthers TE Greg Olsen (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol.

Falcons WRs Julio Jones (shoulder) and Calvin Ridley (toe) were limited in practice Wednesday. TE Austin Hooper (knee) was also limited.

Panthers at Falcons: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 7:50 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Falcons 30, Panthers 23

Moneyline (?)

The FALCONS (-162) are the play at home after their Week 11 domination of the Panthers and QB Kyle Allen. Jones should return after sitting out Thanksgiving and the return of Hooper would be an added boost.

The Falcons have won four straight and seven of the last eight head-to-head meetings.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Falcons to win outright returns a profit of $6.17.

Against the Spread (?)

After winning by 26 in the season’s first meeting, the FALCONS are laying a conservative -2.5 points with -129 odds. Each of their last seven head-to-head victories was decided by more than a field goal.

Atlanta is 4-8 against the spread while Carolina is 6-6, but the Falcons fall an average of just 2.4 points shy of the cover. The Panthers fall an average of 3.3 points short.

Over/Under (?)

Take the OVER 48.5 (+105). The Panthers are 8-4 against the projections and top the number by an average of 4.4 PPG. The Falcons are 4-8 and fall 1.3 points shy of the line on average, but the probable returns of Jones and Hooper will propel this over the number.

Visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

  • The Bengals turned back to QB Andy Dalton under center after ‘evaluating’ QB Ryan Finley over the past three games. The offense averaged 11.0points per game under Finley, while posting 18.0 PPG with Dalton under center.
  • Cincinnati has hit the Under in five of the past six games, and seven of the past nine.
  • The Bengals are a dismal 2-5 against the spread in the past seven games against losing teams and 1-7 ATS in the past eight at home vs. teams with a losing road mark.
  • The Over cashed in four of the past five for the Jets while going 4-1 in the past five overall and 4-0 in their past four against losing teams.
  • The Under is 5-1 in Cincinnati’s past six overall and 33-16-2 its past 51 vs. AFC teams.
  • The Jets rank 31st in the NFL in total yards per game (262.1), passing yards per game (188.5) and rushing yards per game (73.5), but they have scored exactly 34 points in each of the past three outings.

Jets at Bengals: Key injuries

Jets: WR Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) is questionable.

Bengals: WR A.J. Green (ankle) remains out.

Jets at Bengals: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 3:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Jets 23, Bengals 17

Moneyline (?)

The JETS (-167) are expected to add to the misery of the Bengals (+135) and keep them with a goose egg in the win column. The way QB Sam Darnold and the offense have been operating lately, there’s no reason to believe they can’t top these winless Bengals.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the moneyline returns a $6.00 profit with an N.Y. Jets victory.

Against the Spread (?)

The JETS (-3.5, +105) opened a little higher, but the public has been all over the Bengals (+3.5, -125). Perhaps they like the fact Dalton is back, perhaps they’re just going on percentages that the Bengals have to win sooner or later. Either way, take the Jets. It’s always pleasing to go against the public.

Over/Under (?)

Pass. The projected total of 41.5 (-115) is perfect for this game. If Darnold and the offense do what they have the past few weeks, this is an easy Over play. But when do the Jets ever do what they’re supposed to do and live up to their potential?

BetMGM BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL

BET $1, WIN $250 in free bets if ANY NFL team scores a touchdown Sunday, Dec. 1, 2019. Bet now and win!
Visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

  • The Browns meet the Steelers for the first time since their brawl in the closing seconds of a Week 11 game which ended in a 21-7 Cleveland win.
  • Steelers QB Mason Rudolph, at the center of the brawl when he was hit on the head by his own helmet, is benched in favor of QB Devlin Hodges, an undrafted free-agent rookie.
  • The Steelers currently hold the sixth spot in the AFC playoff race, but the Browns are just one game back and have already beaten the Steelers once.
  • The last time the Browns won a game in Pittsburgh was 2003, when Cleveland QB Baker Mayfield was just eight years old.
  • The Browns are just 6-21-2 against the spread in the past 29 games vs. teams with a winning record.
  • Cleveland is 4-1-1 ATS in the past six meetings in this series, and the Over is 4-1 in the past five battles in Pittsburgh.

Browns at Steelers: Key injuries

Browns: OT Greg Robinson (concussion) and DE Olivier Vernon (knee) are questionable.

Steelers: CB Artie Burns (knee) is listed as questionable, while RB James Conner (shoulder) is doubtful. WR Juju Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) remains out.

Browns at Steelers: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 3:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Steelers 23, Browns 20

Moneyline (?)

The STEELERS (+115) are short dogs at home, but they’re worth a roll of the dice. The Browns (-139) are on a season-high three-game winning streak but have struggled over the years in Pittsburgh and it’s hard to see them getting over that hump.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the moneyline returns an $11.50 profit with a Pittsburgh victory.

Against the Spread (?)

The STEELERS (+1.5, +100) are a better value on the moneyline, so it’s better to just take them outright to win. If they cover, they’re going to hit the moneyline, too. Why not make a few more dollar bills?

Over/Under (?)

OVER 39.5 (-106) is worth a small-unit bet. It’s hard to trust a Pittsburgh offense without Conner and Smith-Schuster, while starting a UDFA under center. But this one has the potential to at least be in the 40’s.

Titans at Colts: Week 13 preview, betting trends and notes

  • The Titans are 4-1 ATS in their last five games, but just 6-5 for the season. The Colts are 2-3 ATS in their last five after starting 4-1-1 in 2019.
  • Indianapolis is 10-2 SU in its last 12 home games. The Colts have been even better at home, specifically against the Titans, going 10-1 in their last 11.
  • The Colts have covered the spread in each of their last seven games against the AFC South.
  • The Titans are 1-4 ATS vs. teams with a winning record in their last five games.
  • The total has gone over in each of the Titans’ last five games and five of the Colts’ last seven home contests.
  • The favorite has gone 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these two teams.

Titans at Colts: Key injuries

Titans TE Delanie Walker (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve and is out for the year.

Colts RB Marlon Mack remains out with a hand injury, which required surgery last week.

Titans at Colts: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated on Wednesday at 2:25 p.m. ET

Prediction

Titans 24, Colts 21

Moneyline (?)

The Titans come into this one as the much hotter team. They’ve really improved since QB Ryan Tannehill took over, and his strong stretch of play will continue this weekend.

Bet the TITANS (+115) to win straight-up behind a strong rushing attack from Derrick Henry and steady play by Tannehill.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Titans to win outright would return a profit of $11.50.

Against the Spread (?)

The Colts are favored by 2.5 points at home, which means the oddsmakers see the Titans as the slightly better team if on a neutral field. Getting two points with Tennessee is enticing, considering the Titans have covered in four of their last five games.

Bet the TITANS (+2.5, -106) to cover the spread against a Colts team that has been struggling.

Over/Under (?)

The Titans have been hot as of late, winning four of their last five games and scoring at least 20 points in each of the five contests. Their last two wins against the Jaguars (42 points) and Chiefs (35 points) have been especially impressive, too.

The over/under is set at 43.5. Considering the Over has hit in each of the Titans’ last five games, that’s a pretty solid bet. Take the OVER (-110) in this one.

Raiders at Chiefs: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Prediction

Chiefs 27, Raiders 16

Moneyline (?)

The Chiefs are significant home favorites at -500 as they try to stay atop the division. They’re 2-3 at home, but the Raiders are only 1-4 on the road coming off the ugly loss to the Jets. KC wins this one, but these odds are too chalky with a $10 bet paying a profit of just $2. PASS and play the spread.

Against the Spread (?)

The wiser play is to back the CHIEFS (-9.5, –110) with the points for a win by 10 or more. They’re 6-5 against the spread on the year and cover by an average of 1.1 points per game. The Raiders are also 6-5 ATS, but they fail to cover by three points per game.

Over/Under (?)

The projected total of 51.5 points is the highest of the week. With neither team at full health, take the UNDER (-110). Three of the last four head-to-head meetings fell short of this week’s number. The Chiefs are 0-3 against the Over/Under in divisional games and the Raiders are 1-2.
