Week 14 Picks

Eli Manning returns.
His all time record is 116-116 (via USAToday)

Italicized for win
Bolded for spread

Washington Redskins (+13) @ Green Bay Packers - Aaron Jones has not been as explosive lately while the Packers may rely on Aaron Rodgers to feast on the Redskins defense who has been playing better lately.  Maybe Guice can get it going against a below average Packers rush defense.

Detroit Lions (+13) @ Minnesota Vikings  - Kirk Cousins comes off a loss where he threw over 400 yards and looks to take advantage of the Lions defense that has struggled lately.  Dalvin Cook may not be 100% and Adam  Thielen is likely to be out.  Kyle Rudolph has 4 TDS in 4 straight games.

Indianapolis Colts @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3) - Marlon Mack returns but has a tough match-up against the Bucs; run defense. TY Hilton may not play for the rest of the season so Jacoby Brissett may struggle.

Carolina Panthers (+3) @ Atlanta Falcons - Matt Ryan didn't play well especially without Jones and Hooper and could get them back. The Panthers could get a surge from the firing without Ron Rivera.

San Francisco 49ers @ New Orleans Saints (-2.5) (LOCK) - Brees is usually better at home. Alvin Kamara has at least 8 targets in his last 5 games.

Cincinnati Bengals (+8.5)@ Cleveland Browns - With Andy Dalton back, perhaps the Bengals keep it close coming off a win against the Jets.  

Denver Broncos(+9.5) @ Houston Texans - Courtland Sutton may keep the Broncos in it who had 2 touchdowns last week.



Miami Dolphins (+6)(LOCK) @ New York Jets - Look for the Fitzmagic show to continue. Bell being out also hurts the Jets

Baltimore Ravens @ Buffalo Bills (+5.5) - Perhaps the Bills can do enough to keep it close with Josh Allen and a solid Bills defense.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Jacksonville Jaguars (+3) - Phillip Rivers has been struggling while Gardner Minshew returns.  Perhaps Fournette could get it going again as the Jaguars look to bounce back after a tough loss against the Bucs.  

Tennessee Titans (-2.5) @ Oakland Raiders - The Titans have been playing much better with Derrick Henry leading the rushing attack.  

Kansas City Chiefs (+3) @ New England Patriots -  While the Patriots are undefeated at home with Julian Edelman and Tom Brady at home in the lineup, perhaps the Chiefs can put an end to that streak.  



Pittsburgh Steelers (-2.5) (LOCK) @ Arizona Cardinals - Kyler Murray can always go off but appeared to be limited with a hamstring injury last week.  The Steelers defense is much better than the Rams.  Duck Hodges should hold up against the Cardinals defense that has struggled all season.



Seattle Seahawks (+1.5) @ Los Angeles Rams - The Seahawks look to continue their dual running back threat with Carson and Penny.  While Lockett has been unreliable for the Seahawks, Jared Goff may struggle to utilize all of his passing options in Kupp, Woods, and Cooks.  



New York Giants (+10) @ Philadelphia Eagles - Eli Manning returns in a matchup where the Eagles look to bounce back after a tough loss to the Dolphins.
