Week fourteen NFL Betting Preview Including Our Picks
We are getting down to it now people. If the NFL season were a football game, we are now at the end of the third quarter. There are 12 games down and four to go. It's time to show what you got.
We have some good matchups this week with teams fighting for the playoffs.
5Dimes has odds on the games this week. Let's make our picks now.
Dallas Cowboys at Cincinnati Bengals
Both of these teams are fighting for a playoff spot. Thanks to the Washington Redskins win on Monday over the New York Giants, both are still very much alive. Dallas is 6-6, one game behind the Giants in the NFC East. The Bengals are 7-5 and tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the second spot.
The Cowboys are + 3 -105 or +145. The Bengals are -3 -115 or -165. Over/under is 45.5. We like the Cowboys +3 and the over. Footballs will be flying around with these two offenses. This will be a fun one.
New Orleans Saints at New York Giants
The Saints are just about out of playoff contention now after dropping their last two games to fall to 5-7. This might make them even more dangerous as now they have nothing to lose. They can be the spoiler now. The Giants have dropped three of four and are holding on by a thread to the lead in the NFC East. This is usually when New York plays their best football.
The Saints are +4.5 -110 or +195. The Giants are -4.5 -110 or -235. Over/under is 53. We like the Saints +4.5 and we also like the over. Drew Brees and Eli Manning will have a shootout type game. Last one with the football likely wins.
Baltimore Ravens at Washington Redskins
Lately it seems like the NFL is Robert Griffin III and everybody else. How he's brought the Redskins back from 3-6 to beat the two chief division rivals has been impressive. The oddsmakers really think so because this week we have the 9-3 Ravens coming in and the Redskins are actually favored.
Baltimore is +1.5 +105 or +120. Washington is -1.5 -125 or -140. Over/under is 48. We are going to go with the Ravens -1.5 in this one and the under. We think that Ravens defense might be a little too experienced for RGIII to have his way with.
Miami Dolphins at San Francisco 49ers
Miami is +11.5 -130 or +425. The 49ers are -11.5 +110 or - 550. Over/under is 38.5. So if our math is correct, they think the final score in this game will be something like 28-10? We don't see Miami getting beaten that badly. We'll take the Dolphins +11.5 and the over.
New York Jets at Jacksonville Jaguars
Jets are -2.5 -115 or -140. Jags are +2.5 -105 +120. Over/under is 38. We like the Jags to finally put Mark Sanchez out of his misery. Maybe the locals will get to see Tim Tebow play? Yeah right. We'll take the Jags +2.5 and the under. This will be some ugly football.
Houston Texans at New England Patriots
This is a battle of two heavyweights in the AFC. The Texans are +3 +105 or +160. The Pats are -3 -125 or -185. Over/under is 51.5. We are going to go with the Patriots -3 and the over. Tom Brady will put some points on the board and so will Matt Schaub.
