Mile High Report
It’s hard to believe Week 14 of the NFL regular season is already here. My Week 13 picks were all over the place. I picked just 10 of 16 games correctly and was 0-4 on the Thanksgiving Day and Friday games. Through thirteen weeks I’m now sitting at 130-64 with predictions. Let’s see how well I can do with my Week 14 picks.
Thursday Night Football — Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Lions
Winner: Lions
Week 14 starts off with a huge matchup of two teams on the outside looking in relative to the NFC’s playoff picture. The Cowboys have managed to win three in a row, while the Lions dropped their Thanksgiving Day matchup. Neither team can afford to lose this game if they want to make the postseason. Ultimately, I believe the Lions will find a way to win this one.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons
Winner: Seahawks
The Seahawks got a little bit of luck with the Carolina Panthers upsetting the Los Angeles Rams last weekend. That puts them both at a 9-3 tie in the NFC West. Upsets can happen any given Sunday, but I’m confident the Seahawks’ defense will be able to shut down the Falcons offense. I’m picking Seattle.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Cincinnati Bengals at Buffalo Bills
Winner: Bills
With an 8-4 record, the Bills are currently slated as the seventh seed in the AFC West playoffs. They are several games behind the Patriots in the AFC East. I feel this is a must-win game for them. Dropping this one would almost assuredly give the Patriots the division title and make their path to the postseason even harder. I think Josh Allen and company will find a way to defeat the Bengals at home.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Tennessee Titans at Cleveland Browns
Winner: Browns
The Titans nor Browns have a shot at the postseason. Right now, they are simply playing for pride. Cam Ward has been sacked a lot this season and I have a feeling Myles Garrett is going to have a huge game. I’ll be taking the Browns for that reason.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Washington Commanders at Minnesota Vikings
Winner: Commanders
The Commanders have lost seven in a row but played tough against the Broncos. Meanwhile, the Vikings are in a tailspin of their own dropping four straight. The quarterback play in Minnesota has been a disaster. Whether it’s Jayden Daniels or Marcus Mariota under center on Sunday for Washington, I’ll be taking the Commanders.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Miami Dolphins at New York Jets
Winner: Dolphins
This AFC East matchup doesn’t have any playoffs implications. It’s probably one of the most boring games on this weekend’s slate. The Dolphins have won three in a row, and I believe they will make that four on Sunday.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Winner: Buccaneers
The Buccaneers are atop of the NFC South, but the Carolina...
