It’s the end of the year. There are only two weeks left in the regular season. That means two weeks left to bet on random teams that won’t make the playoffs. There’s only a short time to throw a ton of teams into teasers and parlays. Betting on Lamar Jack against Bad Team X — this week it’s the Browns — won’t be possible. Also, time is running out to get above .500 on the season.

As usual, the home teams are in CAPS, and we are using Bet MGM for our odds. Games will be listed at -110 unless denoted otherwise.

Let’s get to it.

There’s always one week at the end of the season when things get turned upside down when it comes to gambling. Hot teams cool off for no apparent reason. Teams that are left for dead try for some reason. Let’s just say that type of week could be the 15th session of the NFL season.

10 best bets for Week 14 of the NFL season

There are picks for Patriots-Chiefs, Niners-Saints, Rams-Seahawks and Bills-Ravens.

Don’t get confident. We were on fire with a bunch of big weeks followed by a great Thanksgiving and then went 1-5 in Week 13. That’s the opposite of good. So it’s time to go back to basics. Hit some home underdogs. Take some unders. Moneyline an obvious favorite here or there.

Finishing .500 isn’t the goal because that means lost money. There’s a reason that books take a vig. It’s their fee for taking a bet. That’s why finishing .500 is bad. That vig isn’t made up. It’s not a lot of lost money, but it’s 10 percent of a unit lost generally. So we need some winners. Let’s get some winners.

Packers can improve to 3-0 SU as road underdog in 2019

The Packers have won in Chicago and Dallas as road underdogs in 2019.

Twice during the 2019 season, the Green Bay Packers have been road underdogs. And in both games, the Packers covered the spread and won straight up.

They’ll get a chance to go 3-for-3 on Sunday night in San Francisco. The Packers are 3.5-point underdogs to the 49ers, per Bet MGM.

Matt LaFleur’s team were road underdogs in Chicago in Week 1 and in Dallas in Week 5 and won both games by a touchdown or more.

Overall, the Packers are 7-3 against the spread in 2019, including a 4-1 mark on the road.

The 49ers have been a somewhat unreliable team at home, covering the spread in only two of five games. But Kyle Shanahan’s team has won four of five games as a home favorite this season, with the one loss coming to the Seattle Seahawks two weeks ago.

The Packers’ win over the Bears in Week 1 was the team’s first victory as a road underdog since Nov. 2017, a span of nine games.

Last season, the Packers were road underdogs six times and lost all six games, including a game in Los Angeles coming out of the bye week.
