The Thanksgiving weekend slate delivered some incredible football and some fascinating results. We are now official in the playoff push, and the Thursday night game is a doozy when it comes to that, with the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys going head-to-head in a potential NFC Wild Card decider. Ahead of that, here is the ClutchPoints 2025 NFL Week 14 picks, predictions, and odds column.
With five weeks left in the regular season, we’ve officially reached the proverbial “Witching Hour,” hat tip Scott Hanson. In the next month, playoff berths will become playoff misses, and playoff misses will become playoff berths.
This week, we have at least two games (Cowboys vs. Lions and Houston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs) that are near loser-leave-town matchups, and three that may determine the division winners (Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens, and Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers).
As a football fan, it’s hard to ask for much more as the 2025 regular season enters the home stretch.
We also finally hit the final bye week of the 2025 season, as the Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, New York Giants, and San Francisco 49ers take the weekend off. That means from next week on out, it’s 16 games a weekend until we hit the postseason.
Here in Week 14, we go back to the traditional Thursday night matchup, eight 1:00 p.m. ET games, three late-window tilts, a Sunday night affair, and a Monday night showdown.
Thanksgiving started hot but lost some momentum as the weekend went on. We were a very respectable 10-6 straight up, but again struggled against the spread, going 5-10-1 with the number. That brings us to 115-79 straight up, and 85-105-4 ATS on the season.
Previous weeks: Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9 | Week 10 | Week 11 | Week 12 | Week 13
So, with that, let’s get right into the NFL Week 14 picks, predictions, and odds.
Courtesy of DraftKings, here are the NFL odds.
The Cowboys are among the hottest teams in the NFL right now, and the Lions are scuffling, alternating wins and losses since October 5. You can say that means the Lions are due, and being home on a Thursday helps that hunch a lot. However, this comes down to how much you believe in Big D.
Dak Prescott is playing at an MVP level, and George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb are the most dangerous wide receiver duos in the NFL right now. Plus, the defense is much improved since adding Quinnen Williams. Will Dallas make the playoffs? That’s still up in the air, but the NFL Week 14 picks, predictions, and odds column believes they’ll at least be in the race a while longer, which means winning this game.
Pick: Cowboys 34-31
Miami Dolphins (-3) at New York Jets ----------------------------------------...
