Before making Week 14 NFL picks, you shouldn’t assume that teams struggling to win outright also struggle to win against the spread (ATS). Jacksonville has lost five straight and the Bears are on a six-game losing streak, but these are also two of the best teams when it comes to covering. In fact, they are the only teams playing in Week 14 with losing straight-up records who have winning NFL spread records, which may influence your Week 14 NFL ATS predictions. The latest NFL lines have the Jaguars as 3.5-point underdogs versus the Titans with an over-under of 40, while the Bears are four-point underdogs versus San Francisco with an over-under of 44.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs (-4, 43) and Seahawks (-2.5, 44.5) are division leaders, but they’re also the only teams in action on Sunday who have winning records straight-up, but losing records ATS. Researching NFL betting trends can help you find nuggets like these to assist with Week 14 NFL best bets and NFL game picks. All of the Week 14 NFL lines are listed below, and SportsLine’s advanced computer model has all the NFL betting advice and NFL predictions you need to make the best Week 14 NFL picks now.
