NFL 2020 Week 14 Predictions

 2020 NFL Week 14 Predictions

Texans -2 over Bears, 22-17

-Until the Bears prove to me that they have a competent offense, I’m going with the team that can at least produce points.

 

Titans -7.5 over Jags, 28-17

-Titans aren’t going to lose this close game and are far closer to the team they were in the second half versus Cleveland than the first half.

 

Panthers -3 over Broncos, 20-14

-Panthers are rested and coming off of a bye. 

 

Cowboys -3.5 over Bengals, 22-13

-I’ve been looking for a while as to where the Cowboys were going to get a win...well, this is the finally the logical spot...but it probably still won’t be pretty. 

 

Chiefs -7 over Dolphins, 33-20

-This is actually a decent amount of respect for the Dolphins. How they’re going to get to 20 points I’m not actually sure. It’ll be a good test, but will probably show the real distance between these two teams. 

 

Cards -2.5 over Giants, 30-27

-This is the last week, Cards. You’ve been limping through games, the Giants have won four in a row, and the thought process about games like this may have to change after this week. But I’m giving you one more week. And even then, it’s because of that half point.

 

Bucs -6.5 over Vikings, 30-23

-Vikings should not have even been close to the Jags last week. Bucs are well-rested coming off of a bye, and hopefully have fixed any inconsistencies that may have plagued them earlier in the year. 

 

Colts -3 over Raiders, 26-22

-Colts are just a very balanced, consistent, and professional team. 

 

Seahawks -14 over Jets, 34-14

-This is a lot of points to lay for a team that knocked me out of my eliminator league last week. But this is the Jets we’re talking about. 

 

Packers -8 over Lions, 31-20

-Lions are shutting people down and packing it in for next year. The Packers can sleepwalk their way to 30 points at this point and seem to be trying to get Rodgers his 3rd MVP. 

 

Chargers +1 over Falcons, 27-25

-Strangely, this is a game where you’re not supposed to take either team in a close game. But by the rules of football, someone does have to win. I’ll take the team that’s not missing its best player. (CRAP, this is totally going to be a tie, isn’t it?)

 

Saints -7 over Eagles, 24-16

-It’s getting tough to lay this many points with such a limited Saints offense. But, the Eagles remain a mess, the Saints are cruising to the 1 seed, and somehow Taysom Hill is by far and away the most experienced QB in this game. 

 

WFT +3.5 over 49ers, 17-16

-I don’t want to watch one minute of this rock fight.

 

Bills -2 over Steelers, 31-24

-Let’s be clear about one thing. I don’t like the Bills. But I haven’t liked the Steelers essentially all season. That’s a hard line to have stayed on for an 11-1 team. The defense is good, but now it has become very injured. I didn’t see passing efficiency with Ben even when it was going well. The Bills are humming on offense and are going to push this Steelers team. 

 

Browns +2.5 over Ravens, 30-27

-I can’t believe I’m taking the Browns...but they are the more consistent, healthy, fundamental, physical team. Wow.
