My Week 14 NFL Picks

Dallas Cowboys  @ Chicago Bears (+4) - Chicago and Dallas have had each a week to prepare.  It should be a high scoring affair.

Tony Romo's December record has been bad
Jay Cutler has picked up his play

Baltimore Ravens (+2.5) @ Miami Dolphins - This game could decide who ultimately makes the playoffs.  I have questions about Miami's offense who almost lost to the Jets this past Monday Night.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinatti Bengals (-3) - The Bengals have been a more consistent team than the Steelers who have had some impressive wins but few of those have come on the road.

St. Louis Rams (+3) @ Washington Redskins - Colt McCoy and Washington's offense actually put together a few good drives against the Indianapolis; it was the defense that actually could not hang with the Colts.  Still, the Rams defense is really good, they typically play Washington tough, and they are playing for a playoff spot.

New York Jets @ Minnesota Vikings (-6) - Minnesota has won 2 of its past 3 home games and their only loss was against the Packers.  The Jets played the Dolphins close but have generally struggled playing away from home.  

Buffalo Bills (+9.5) @ Denver Broncos - The Bills defense could keep it close against a Broncos team that fluctuates from week to week.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Arizona Cardinals - Looks like it might be time to sell on the Cardinals who are without Carson Palmer and the Chiefs defense is certainly more than capable of containing Arizona's offense.

San Francisco 49ers (-8) @ Oakland Raiders - Both teams are coming off big losses.  Look for the 49ers to clamp down the Raiders offense which failed to score last week against the Rams.

Seattle Seahawks @ Philadelphia Eagles (-1) - Seattle had a good win against the 49ers but the Eagles offense is a different animal.

New England Patriots (-3.5) @ San Diego Chargers - The Patriots should be extra motivated after a close loss to the Packers.

Atlanta Falcons (+12.5) @ Green Bay Packers - The Falcons just beat the Cardinals and that's a lot of points for the Packers to cover who may have a let down after a good win against the Patriots.
