NFL Week 14 Early Odds, Picks & Predictions (2023)

by |

We aim to earn some +EV on our bets a week in advance.

For example, last week, we added the Colts at +1. Now they’re -1 against the Titans this week. We also grabbed the Chargers at -4. But now, you can only snag the Chargers at -6.

We’re trying to beat the closing line value by selecting plays for the following week before the current week starts. We’ve done well with this over the season. Let’s add more +EV to our betting portfolio for Week 14 in the NFL.

    Early NFL Week 14 Best Bets

    All wagers are 1 unit | Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook

    Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears

    The Detroit Lions will take on the New Orleans Saints on the road on Sunday. They’re 4-point favorites and expected to defeat the Saints on the road in this game. I, too, would like the Lions to respond after Thursday’s poor performance against the Packers.

    Meanwhile, the Bears are on a bye week. Despite winning against the Vikings on Monday Night Football, I don’t think the whole football world is very invested in the Bears. Chicago only scored 12 points against the Vikings despite forcing multiple turnovers.

    The Lions typically don’t leave points off the board. The Bears do.

    Once the Lions earn a win over the Saints this weekend, the line could jump to six points.

    Bet: Lions -4.5 (-115)

    Minnesota Vikings vs. Las Vegas Raiders

    The Vikings are about to revisit some things during their bye week this week. Minnesota’s Joshua Dobbs threw four interceptions in a loss to the Bears at home. That wasn’t ideal. Minnesota could consider playing Jaren Hall over Dobbs in this game. That’s certainly on the table.

    I don’t think it would be a good idea. If Dobbs isn’t starting, this line for the Vikings would drop slightly. Meanwhile, the Raiders have at least been competitive since Antonio Pierce took over as head coach. If the Vikings make a move at quarterback, we’ll likely see the Raiders as favorites by game day.

    Bet: Raiders +1 (-105)

    Denver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Chargers

    The Denver Broncos are streaking. They’re 6-5 with a legitimate chance for the playoffs after losing a game, 70-20, earlier this year.

    The Broncos take on the Texans on the road in Week 13. They’re 3.5-point underdogs. With a win, the Broncos could become near favorites against the Chargers in the following week. However, right now, they’re sitting at +3 (-115) against the Patriots for Week 14.

    The Chargers are on the road, and if Los Angeles finds a way to lose to the Patriots, they’ll be bet down a lot. With the Chargers’ talent, even a tight win against the Patriots wouldn’t do them favors for this line against the Broncos the following weekend.

    Bet: Broncos +3 (-115)
