On Sunday night Dallas is at the New York Giants in an NFC East showdown. Then on Monday night the Ravens and Patriots square off in a battle of division leading AFC rivals. While those two contests are the only ones (other than Thursday&#8217;s Raider-Chiefs game) between pairs of teams with winning records, there are still plenty of other interesting and competitive games.<\/p>\n<p>Four other games are between clubs that both have at least a .500 record and genuine hopes for making the playoffs. Seattle at Green Bay, Pittsburgh at Buffalo, Denver at Tennessee and Houston at Indianapolis are all good matchups between teams fighting for a playoff spot. The only real stinkers this week are the Jets at Forty Niners and the battle for Ohio between Cincinnati and Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">NFL Week 14 Early Games on CBS<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>????<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>8-4 Denver Broncos at 6-6 Tennessee Titans<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nSunday December 11 at 1:00 pm ET on CBS; <em>Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts, Evan Washburn.<\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080;\">Titans -1 . . . . over\/under 43\u00bd . . . .

With LB Ryan Shazier back on the field the Pittsburgh defense has vastly improved. The Steelers surrendered an average of just ten points per game during the current winning streak &#8211; with two of those wins coming on the road. Similar to the Steelers with Shazier, Buffalo is a much better team when LeSean Mcoy is able to play. Take away two games with very limited action and the running back is averaging 125 yards from scrimmage per game. The Shazier-McCoy matchup will be fun to watch, and will likely determine the outcome. Forecast is for snow and 15-25 mph winds, but that shouldn&#8217;t be much of a factor considering that the Steelers are used to that type of weather.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Prediction: Steelers 24, Bills 20<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nSteelers -3 . . . . . under 46\u00bd . . . . .

Miami is due to bounce back after last week&#8217;s epic failure at Baltimore, but Arizona does have some matchups in their favor. The Cardinals can run the ball with David Johnson, who leads the NFL with 1,709 yards from scrimmage (142 ypg). Miami ranks 30th against the run in both yards per carry (4.7) and yards per game (130). However the Dolphins have an advantage with Cameron Wake and Ndamukong Suh against an o-line that is poor in pass protection. I&#8217;m thinking both teams regress to their norms after last week&#8217;s games.

Baltimore does have an excellent defense though, allowing just 17.2 points per game (2nd in the NFL). OT Nate Solder will need some help slowing down OLB Terrell Suggs.

However, all four of those wins were at home; their only road victories were at Cleveland and Jacksonville. Those two teams are a combined 2-22. They beat an injured Steeler team and then won against Cleveland again and Cincinnati. While the win over Miami was impressive I just cannot picture Baltimore winning this game.

I didn&#8217;t anticipate Tyreek Hill having such an impact. To me Spencer Ware and KC running the ball would be the decisive factor, but the Chiefs ran for just 65 yards. Alex Smith was able to pass the ball downfield for 264 yards while Carr went just 17-41 for a paltry 117 yards.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Prediction: Chiefs 31, Raiders 20<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nChiefs -3\u00bd (two units) . . . . . over 46 . . . . .

Two weeks ago I anticipated the Packers-Eagles game to be high scoring based upon those two defenses. Philly only managed to score 13 points and the total was under by 7\u00bd points. Last week was more of the same. I expected Detroit-New Orleans to be a high scoring affair. The Detroit defense had its best game of the season, limiting the Saints &#8211; at home no less &#8211; to 13 points as well. In retrospect I should not have been surprised; that was the sixth straight game that Detroit has held an opponent to 20 or fewer points.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;\"><strong>Week 13 Results<\/strong><\/span>:<br \/>\n10-5 Straight Up<br \/>\n7-8 Against the Spread<br \/>\n9-6 Over\/Under<br \/>\n2-unit plays: 3-3, -60<br \/>\n1-unit plays: 3-0, +300<br \/>\n3-Game Parlay: 1u, -110<br \/>\n5-Game Teaser: 2u, -220<br \/>\n18 units invested<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>6-5, -90<\/strong><\/span> on $1980 risk.<br \/>\n-4.5% ROI<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;\"><strong>Year to Date Results<\/strong><\/span>:<br \/>\n114-76-2 Straight Up<br \/>\n102-85-5 Against the Spread<br \/>\n106-86 Over\/Under<br \/>\n5-unit plays: 1-0, +500<br \/>\n4-unit plays: 1-0, +400<br \/>\n3-unit plays: 6-5-1, +120<br \/>\n2-unit plays: 35-19-1, +2800<br \/>\n1-unit plays: 39-26-1, +1030<br \/>\nParlays: 3-8, +1410<br \/>\nTeasers: 6-5, +2610<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>91-63-3, +8870<\/strong><\/span> on original $2310 risk.<br \/>\n384.0% ROI on original $2310 bankroll.<br \/>\n31.5% ROI on $28,160 (256 units) of total weekly investments.<\/p>\n<p>6-5, -90 on 18 units (-4.5%) in <a href=\"&quot;http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/12\/04\/nfl-week-13-odds-predictions-picks-spread\/\">Week 13<\/a>.<br \/>\n6-9-1, -360 on 28 units (-11.7%) in <a href=\"&quot;http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/11\/27\/nfl-week-12-predictions-and-picks-against-the-spread\/\">Week 12<\/a>.<br \/>\n9-2, +2380 on 16 units (+135.2%) in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/11\/20\/nfl-week-11-predictions-and-picks-against-the-spread\/\">Week 11<\/a>.<br \/>\n4-9, -510 on 18 units (-25.8%) in <a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/11\/13\/nfl-week-10-predictions-and-picks-against-the-spread\/\">Week 10<\/a>.<br \/>\n7-4, +850 on 17 units (+45.5%) in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/11\/05\/nfl-week-9-predictions-picks-spread\/\">Week 9<\/a>.<br \/>\n11-2, +3470 on 27 units (+116.8%) in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/10\/30\/nfl-week-8-predictions-and-picks-against-the-spread\/\">Week 8<\/a>.<br \/>\n3-6, -480 on 12 units (-36.4%) in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/10\/23\/nfl-week-7-predictions-and-picks-against-the-spread\/\">Week 7<\/a>.<br \/>\n9-3-1, +1300 on 17 units (+69.5%) in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/10\/16\/nfl-week-6-predictions-and-picks-against-the-spread\/\">Week 6<\/a>.<br \/>\n7-7, +50 on 22 units (+2.1%) in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/10\/08\/nfl-week-5-predictions-and-picks-against-the-spread\/\">Week 5<\/a>.<br \/>\n9-2, +1910 on 18 units (+96.5%) in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/10\/01\/nfl-week-4-predictions-and-picks-against-the-spread\/\">Week 4<\/a>.<br \/>\n3-9-1, -1280 on 22 units (-58.2%) in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/09\/25\/nfl-week-3-predictions-picks-spread\/\">Week 3<\/a>.<br \/>\n9-3, +950 on 20 units (+43.2%) in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/09\/17\/nfl-week-2-predictions-and-picks-against-the-spread\/\">Week 2<\/a>.<br \/>\n9-2, +840 on 21 units (+36.4%) in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2016\/09\/11\/nfl-week-1-predictions-picks-spread\/\">Week 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The views and opinions expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the publisher of this website.
