Prediction

Dolphins 24, Jets 20

Moneyline (?)

The Dolphins (+190) are slight underdogs based on location and the Jets defense. Miami has won three of its last five games while averaging 24.6 points per contest. That is quite a jump over what they were doing at 0-7. New York has sputtered around and won only once within the AFC. Take MIAM (+190) to win outright.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Dolphins to win returns a profit of $19 with a straight-up victory.

Against the Spread (?)

Picking the DOLPHINS (+5.5, -115) with the points is our play. The odds represent a good opportunity even if not as valuable as the moneyline. Miami will need to win or lose by five or fewer points or win outright. A $10 bet here results in a profit of $8.70.

Over/Under (?)

The projection of 44.5 points presents a dilemma as the two teams could come very close to that number Sunday. Our recommendation is to AVOID.

Washington Redskins at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s Washington Redskins at Green Bay Packers NFL matchup, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets

[jwplayer hNcDD0TW]

The Green Bay Packers (9-3) are home to the Washington Redskins (3-9) for this Week 14 matchup at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. We analyze the Redskins-Packers odds and betting lines while providing betting tips and advice around this Week 14 NFL matchup.

Redskins at Packers: Week 14 preview, betting trends and notes

  • The Redskins won 29-21 over the Carolina Panthers in Week 13, giving QB Dwayne Haskins Jr. two wins in a row. Meanwhile, Green Bay also won last week, beating the New York Giants 31-13 in New Jersey.
  • The last meeting between the two teams was a 31-17 Redskins win in 2018. Washington also defeated Green Bay 42-24 back in 2016.
  • Green Bay is 6-2 against NFC opponents while Washington is just 2-6.
  • The Redskins rank dead last in the NFL in yards per game (262.4), points per game (14.4), passing yards (163 per game) and 3rd-down conversion percentage (26.4%).
  • Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has thrown just two interceptions all season behind 22 touchdown passes and 3,065 yards. RB Aaron Jones leads the Green Bay rushers with 645 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Redskins at Packers: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 1:15 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Packers 34, Redskins 13

Moneyline (?)

The Packers (-834) are a huge favorite against Washington based on both matchup and Washington’s 2-4 road record. Washington faces a better defense and offense this week in Green Bay.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Packers to win returns a profit of $1.20 with a victory. It’s too much chalk.

Against the Spread (?)

Taking the PACKERS (-12.5, -115) to win and cover is the play. The -115 odds represent a much better value compared to the moneyline. Green Bay will need to win by at least 13 points, but a successful $10 bet here results in an $8.70 profit.

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 42.5 (+105) is the bet here. The Redskins’ 14-point average can be deceiving but their defense could easily allow 30. Green Bay scored 30+ points for the fourth time in the last eight weeks against the Giants and looks to continue its momentum heading through December.

Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots odds, lines, picks and best bets

Previewing the Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots huge Week 14 matchup, with NFL betting odds, lines, picks and best bets

[jwplayer UEGdyXoC]

The New England Patriots (10-2) host the Kansas City Chiefs (8-4) at Gillette Stadium Sunday with kickoff scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET. We analyze the Patriots-Chiefs odds and betting lines, providing actionable wagering advice around this huge Week 14 NFL matchup.

Chiefs at Patriots: Week 14 preview, betting trends and notes

BetMGM Sunday Special New Jersey Prop Bet!

Bet $1, WIN $100 in free bets if QB Tom Brady completes a pass against the Chiefs Sunday, Dec. 8th. Bet now!
Visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

  • The Patriots lost two of their last four and didn’t win the other two games convincingly over the last month. They’re coming off a 28-22 loss to the Houston Texans, where their offensive issues were once again on full display.
  • The Chiefs easily bested the Oakland Raiders 40-9 last weekend and have won their past two games.
  • Since 2016, these two teams have met four times, including two playoff battles. The last meeting was a 37-31 overtime victory for New England this past January. The Patriots have won three of the last four.
  • Only one of their last four matchups was by a wide margin: A 42-27 victory for Kansas City in ’17. In that span, the Patriots averaged 33.5 points and the Chiefs averaged 33.3.
  • Patriots QB Tom Brady has looked mortal recently; four of his last five games have sported completion rates lower than 56%. Each of his past two games have been 51.1% or lower, which includes a 45.9% showing in a win over the Dallas Cowboys. Contain WR Julian Edleman and RB James White right now and you contain (and frustrate) Brady.
  • New England ranks 14th in the league with 360.8 yards per game and rank sixth with 26.8 points per game. The Patriots have averaged just 18 PPG the past month. The Chiefs D allows 372.1 YPG, eighth-worst in the NFL.
  • Kansas City averages 384.7 YPG, fourth-best in the league. It’s third-best with 29 PPG. New England’s D has been a storyline all season, but it has shown holes against better offenses. The Patriots rank first in scoring defense (12.1 points/game) and second in yardage (258.0 yards/game).

Chiefs at Patriots: Key injuries

Brady (toe, right elbow), WR Mohamed Sanu Sr. (ankle) and Edelman (shoulder) are all likely to be questionable for the week; expect them to play. It’s too early to tell whether CB Jason McCourty (groin) will return.

RB Damien Williams (rib) is a question mark for the Chiefs; DE Frank Clark (shoulder) was limited Wednesday.

Chiefs at Patriots: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 10:15 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Chiefs 24, Patriots 20

Moneyline (?)

Beating New England (-173) at Gillette, where they are 5-0 this year, is never easy, but KC, 4-1 on the road, has played here a lot the last few years. It’s rare I advocate betting against the Pats at home, but there haven’t been enough signs the running game will improve to help the passing game. Take the plus-money on KANSAS CITY (+145) to the bank.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Kansas City to pull the upset profits $14.50 with an outright win.

Against the Spread (?)

The Patriots are just 3-2 ATS at home this year and 7-5 overall. Kansas City is also 7-5 ATS, but 4-2 on the road. A 2.5-point line has been given to the home team (-134) here; but sticking with the CHIEFS (+2.5, +110) is the play.

The moneyline has a better return, so I’d put my money there rather than pay for the 2.5 points of insurance.

Over/Under (?)

The line of 49.5 is tied for highest on this weekend’s slate. In the last four meetings, these two averaged 66.8 combined points per game. With the Pats’ (who are 2-3-0 vs. the O/U at home (4-8-0 overall)) offense struggling, it’s a lofty line. The defense will break at points, but even when they have against better teams this year, they’ve given up 28 or more points just twice all season. The Chiefs are 3-3-0 vs. the O/U on the road. Keep riding the UNDER (-115).

Denver Broncos at Houston Texans odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Denver Broncos at Houston Texans odds and lines, with Week 14 NFL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Denver Broncos (4-8) visit the Houston Texans (8-4) at NRG Stadium at 1 p.m. ET Sunday of Week 14. We analyze the Broncos-Texans odds and sports betting lines, while providing sports betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Broncos at Texans: 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.

  • QB Drew Lock looks to lead the Broncos to victory in his second career start. He completed 18 of 28 attempts for 134 yards and two touchdowns in last week’s 23-20 win over the Chargers.
  • The Texans are coming off an impressive 28-22 victory over the Patriots Sunday night, maintaining their one-game lead over the Titans in the AFC South.
  • The Texans have won four straight home games, and are 5-1 on the year at NRG Stadium. The Broncos are just 1-5 straight up on the road, and 2-4 against the spread.
  • The Texans are 2-4 ATS at home and have won just two games by double digits this season: a 26-3 win at Jacksonville, and a 53-32 drubbing of the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5.
  • The Texans allow the fifth-most passing yards in the league. The Broncos may not be able to take full advantage, though, as they are 29th in passing yards, and may not want Lock to air it out just yet.

Broncos at Texans: Key injuries

Broncos LB Von Miller (knee) missed last week’s game, but returned to practice Wednesday, and appears to be on track to return this week.

Broncos at Texans: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Texans 27, Broncos 16

Moneyline (?)

The Texans should win this game, but -435 seems like a pretty steep price to pay. New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Texans to win outright returns a profit of $2.30. A $10 bet on the Broncos at +330 would yield a profit of $33. PASS.

Against the Spread (?)

The TEXANS (-7.5, -125) have covered only two of six games at home this season, but they look like a good bet to win by more than a touchdown this week. After scoring a total of just 23 points in their first two home games, they have put up totals of 53, 27, 20, and 28 in their last four, and they should be able to hold the inexperienced Denver signal-caller in check.

Over/Under (?)

This total (41.5) is the lowest in any Houston game all season. The under has hit in seven of 12 games for both teams on the year, and is 8-2-1 in Denver’s last 11 road games, but this one could really go either way. PASS.

NFL Best Bets: Three best underdog locks for Week 14

Our weekly NFL underdog betting staple continues into Week 14 where Ken Pomponio features three teams likely to upset their underdog odds

One of our three picks from a 2-1 Week 13 provided a snapshot of getting the best of the line.

We jumped on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a week ago as 1.5-point underdogs against the host Jacksonville Jaguars. We weren’t alone as the bets were pouring in on the Bucs, and by the time kickoff rolled around Sunday, Tampa Bay was a field-goal favorite.

It didn’t matter in the end as the Bucs won and covered easily by a 28-11 score. By jumping in ahead on the right side of a massive 4.5-point line swing – which moved, mind you, without the influence of a key injury – is nothing short of vital when betting the ultra-tight NFL.

Selecting the Bucs and the Tennessee Titans, another outright underdog road winner last week, while falling short with the Minnesota Vikings in a Monday night shootout in Seattle, upped our season record to 23-16 through 13 weeks.

Now we tackle the Week 14 card, looking for a third straight winning week. As usual, we’re looking at Wednesday’s posted point spreads from BetMGM. Here goes …

Washington Redskins (+12.5) at Green Bay Packers

Photo Credit: Jeremy Brevard – USA TODAY Sports

We’ll start with a straight formula, by-the-numbers play more than anything else as we note double-digit favorites have won 19 of 22 games outright this season but are only 10-12 against the mid-week spreads, including 1-4 over the last month.

Improving rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins and Washington have won two straight after a 1-9 start while Green Bay is coming off a get-right, 31-13 rout of the host New York Giants and just may be looking ahead a little to a crucial closing three-game stretch against NFC North foes.

We’re definitely not expecting Aaron Rodgers and Co. to slip up on the frozen tundra, but we’ll go with the D.C. visitors to somehow come up with a cover.

Denver Broncos (+7.5) at Houston Texans

Photo Credit: Ron Chenoy – USA TODAY Sports

Yeah, we know we’re playing with fire, going with another rookie quarterback on the road in the Broncos’ Drew Lock in only his second career start, but this is more a play against the Texans than anything else.

Wizard QB Deshaun Watson and Houston are coming off a massive, 28-22 upset win over the nemesis New England Patriots Sunday night, and it’s easy to see how the focus probably won’t be as sharp facing a visiting 4-8 Denver squad.

The numbers make our case as the Texans are only 1-4 ATS as favorites (as opposed to 5-2 as underdogs) this season while the usually-plucky Broncos are 6-3 as underdogs and 7-5 ATS overall, including 6-2 over their last eight outings.

That all makes the safe bet a narrow Houston win.

L.A. Rams (+2.5) vs. Seattle Seahawks

Photo Credit: Matt Kartozian – USA TODAY Sports

The NFC West-leading Seahawks are an impressive 6-0 on the road this season while the Rams have struggled at home, winning only two of five games in L.A. so far.

But coach Sean McVay is 3-2 against the Seahawks since taking the Rams’ reins in 2017, and one of the losses was a crushing 30-29 road defeat in Week 5 as PK Greg Zuerlein‘s 44-yard potential game-winning field-goal attempt sailed right with 11 seconds remaining.

Beating the Rams usually comes down to pressuring and flustering QB Jared Goff, but Seattle ranks in the league’s bottom quarter in sack percentage and quarterback hits while surrendering the fourth-most passing yards per game at 269.3.

Look for the 7-5 Rams to win outright in what could turn into a shootout Sunday night and boost their wild-card hopes.

Visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

  • This matchup is owned by the Patriots historically, as they’ve won the past eight matchups and are 10-1 in the history of the two teams meeting. Their most recent game was in 2018, when the Pats won 27-20.
  • The Patriots have won their past two games, but the offense has struggled, scoring 30 combined points over the past two games.
  • The Patriots beat the Dallas Cowboys 13-9 in their last game.
  • Houston has won three of the last four and just squeaked past the Indianapolis Colts 20-17 in their last game.

Patriots at Texans: Key injuries

Patriots CB Jason McCourty (groin) has been ruled out; the Pats have a ton of players listed as questionable, with QB Tom Brady (elbow) and WR Julian Edelman (shoulder) the most noteworthy. Both are expected to play. WRs Mohamed Sanu Sr. (ankle) and Phillip Dorsett II (concussion) remain questionable, too.

Patriots at Texans: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Sunday, Dec. 1, at 1:00 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Patriots 22, Texans 20

Moneyline (?)

As usual, the PATRIOTS (-162) are the favorite to win, but not with the same level of certainty from the oddsmakers as usual. Houston is +135. The juice is worth the squeeze here on the Patriots, as the tax isn’t very high for a regular favorite.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Patriots returns $6.17 profit with a victory.

Against the Spread (?)

Houston (+3.5, -129), 5-6 against the spread (1-4 at home), is being spotted 3.5 points, and that hook is as dangerous as ever. This will be a close game. The Patriots (+105) just can’t put teams away lately, as their offense is lacking playmakers and Brady hasn’t been crisp — he’s completed less than 56% of his passes in three of his last four games.

This spread is too close for me to bet on with the Pats struggling offensively. I’d AVOID. If you’re feeling the Texans, but the moneyline instead, where you have a better value.

Over/Under (?)

The Patriots are 3-8 vs. the O/U and 1-5 vs. it on the road, while Houston is just 1-4 vs. the O/U at home (4-7 overall). The under is generally a safe play for New England, but you’re going to be flirting with trouble here considering the 44.5 line in place. Roll with the UNDER (+120) again, but only do a small-unit wager here as confidence is low with a very solid line in play.

Prediction

Packers 27, Giants 17

Moneyline (?)

The PACKERS (-278) remain a solid play because of the small price and value vs. the Giants (+220).

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Packers to win outright returns a profit of $3.60 with a victory.

Against the Spread (?)

Picking the PACKERS to win and cover the 6.5 points is the play. The -110 odds are far more profitable than the moneyline. They’ll need to win by at least seven points.

Betting $10 here will result in a profit of $8.70 if the Packers cover the spread Sunday.

Over/Under (?)

The UNDER 45.5 (-115) is the bet here. The Giants are 1-4 at home and often struggle to score points. Add in the likelihood of inclement weather and the Under looks good.

  • The Redskins won 19-16 at home over the Detroit Lions in Week 12, giving QB Dwayne Haskins Jr. his first NFL win. Meanwhile, Carolina lost its third game in a row, falling 34-31 to the New Orleans Saints.
  • The last meeting between the two teams was a 23-17 Redskins win in 2018. It snapped a four-game losing streak Washington had against Carolina.
  • Both teams are bad against NFC opponents. Washington is 1-6 against them while Carolina is 2-6.
  • The Redskins rank 32nd in offensive yards per game (253.4) and average just 13.1 points per contest. They are also dead last in passing yards and 3rd-down conversion percentage (26.4%).
  • Panthers QB Kyle Allen has stepped in with mixed results and 13 touchdowns against nine interceptions.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 9 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Panthers 30, Redskins 13

Moneyline (?)

The Panthers (-500) are a huge favorite against Washington based on matchup and Washington’s 1-4 road record. Washington’s numerous offensive line issues, in particular, will loom large.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Panthers to win returns a profit of $2 with a victory. It’s too much chalk.

Against the Spread (?)

Taking the PANTHERS to win and cover the 9.5 points is the play. The -115 odds represent excellent value when compared to the moneyline. Carolina will need to win by at least 10 points.

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 39.5 (-105) is the bet here. The Redskins averaging 13 points per game makes this a reasonable wager only because Carolina could score 30-plus this week (31 last week against New Orleans).

Prediction

Cardinals 31, Rams 28

Moneyline (?)

The Rams are the favorite at -154 but the Cardinals are primed for an upset win over a struggling division rival. They are the best play and the best value at +130. A $10 bet on the Cardinals will gain $13 in profit.

Against the Spread (?)

The Rams are favored at -2.5 (-115). Arizona, though, has been a good bet against the spread. They have covered in seven of their 11 games this season and pushed in another. The Rams have also covered the point spread in seven of their 11 games this season, but they’re trending down and the Cardinals are trending upward, suffering last-minute losses after having a late fourth-quarter lead in each of their last three games. This week, they close the deal. Take the points and go with the CARDINALS (+2.5, -106).

Over/Under (?)

The total is set at 47.5 points. The Cardinals have allowed at least 28 points in each of their last four games. They have scored at least 25 in six of their last seven. This is easy. Take the OVER (-110).
