Pride of Detroit
The race for the playoffs is starting to heat up, and it’s an awfully congested playoff picture right now. Week 14 is going to do its best to start and sort out the contenders from the pretenders.
As we have done in past seasons, our staff will be making weekly predictions for every game on the NFL schedule. Each of the Pride of Detroit staff will pick the moneyline (winner of the game, no spread), but some of the members will also pick against the spread and even the over/under lines—there’s an easy-to-use toggle button in the widget below to cycle through the settings and in the week’s ahead, check out our records when it comes to making picks. You can also check out all of the odds for this week’s games courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.
At 8:15 p.m. ET over on Amazon Prime, a marquee matchup takes place when the Detroit Lions (7-5) take on the Dallas Cowboys (6-5-1) from Ford Field for this week’s installment of “Thursday Night Football.”
Four teams are on bye this week—the New England Patriots, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, and Carolina Panthers—so the NFL has 12 games scheduled for Sunday.
The local Detroit audience will have a couple of options to choose from in the 1 p.m. slot. On CBS, most Michigan residents will get an AFC North battle for supremacy when the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-6) travel to Maryland to face off with the Baltimore Ravens (6-6). Over on FOX in the same time slot, the Cincinnati Bengals (4-8) take on the Buffalo Bills (8-4) from upstate New York to round out your local coverage at 1 p.m. ET. In the late window, FOX has an uber-important NFC North matchup between the top two teams in the division: the Chicago Bears (9-3) and Green Bay Packers (8-3-1) from Lambeau Field at 4:25 p.m. ET.
“Sunday Night Football” closes out the day of football with a matchup between two AFC teams desperate to start their push for the playoffs right here, right now: the Houston Texans (7-5) play the Kansas City Chiefs (6-6) at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
On ABC/ESPN, the Los Angeles Chargers (8-4) welcome the Philadelphia Eagles (8-4) to southern California for “Monday Night Football” at 8:15 p.m. ET.
Here is who our staff is picking on the moneyline, spread, and over/under for all 14 games on the NFL Week 14 schedule:
