5 Games You Should Bet and The Rest You Might Bet
So I’m 13 weeks late, but Week 14 is as good as any to start posting some picks that will make you some money, or lose trying.
The “Locks”
Washington @ Green Bay (-13)
The Packers are used to playing in the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field, whereas the Skins got a win last week in a divisional game and will be content to just get out of Wisconsin without an injury. Look for GB in a laugher.
Pittsburgh @ Arizona (+2)
The Steelers QB is named Duck… The Cardinals QB is the size of a duck. Human sized Duck > duck sized human. Look for the Steelers D to dominate for an easy Steelers win.
Seattle @ LA Rams (-1)
The Rams have been very tough to understand. They started hot, got cold, and tried to get right last week in a win against the Cards. But at the end of the day, the Seahawks are playing for the 1 seed in the NFC and will ride their string of recent tough victories and will pull off yet another.
Baltimore @ Buffalo (+6)
The Bills struggle against the run; enter the best run team in the NFL. The Bills can’t seem to score consistently; enter the highest scoring team in football. As a Bills fan, it hurts me to say it, but take the Ravens.
NY Giants @ Philadelphia (-9.5)
Welcome back Eli Manning! While normally a matchup against Eli should mean that you’re going to win easily, Eli has a 0.500 record for his career and if this is his last start, the Giants are going to do everything they can to rally for him and get him that last win which might be enough to get him into the Hall of Fame. Eagles likely still win, but the Giants should keep it close.

Miami @ NY Jets (-5)
