NFL Week 14 Tips
The NFL action comes thick and fast again in Week 14, which kicks off with a crucial Thursday Night Football clash between NFC playoff contenders in Detroit.
The weekend slate features divisional battles with major postseason implications as the Baltimore Ravens meet the Pittsburgh Steelers in a pivotal AFC North showdown and the Chicago Bears do battle with the Green Bay Packers for NFC North supremacy.
Later in primetime stateside slots, the Kansas City Chiefs host the Houston Texans on Sunday Night Football and The Superbowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles look to halt a two-game slide against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night.
We’ve picked out four standout betting tips from the weekend action.
TIP 1 – Baltimore Ravens -6.0 @ 10/11
Baltimore Ravens vs Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday, Dec. 7, 6:00pm GMT)
This matchup between 6-6 teams could go a long way in deciding the AFC North title with Baltimore bringing better form to the clash after winning five of their last six games.
The Ravens have clinched the last two meetings, including a home Wild Card weekend victory in January and should have too much talent on both sides of the ball for a Steelers team on the slide.
Mike Tomlin’s men have lost five of their last seven, including a 26-7 beatdown at the hands of the Buffalo Bills in front of their own fans last week.
With Aaron Rodgers nursing injuries, Pittsburgh’s offence has lacked rhythm and their defence has been repeatedly exposed by big plays.
After a disappointing showing against Cincinnati last week, Baltimore should regroup at home, with Lamar Jackson’s dual-threat ability and a relentless pass rush giving them the edge to cover.

TIP 2 – Chicago Bears +6.5 @ 10/11
Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers (Sunday, Dec. 7, 9:25pm GMT)
The NFC North title is probably on the line at Lambeau Field, where the Packers tend to step up a gear at this time of the year.
Chicago come in with a big target on their back as they lead a closely contested division.
The Bears moved to 9-3 thanks to last week’s statement win over the Eagles, rushing for 281 yards behind D’Andre Swift and rookie Kyle Monangai.
Their balanced gameplan has taken some of the pressure off young quarterback Caleb Williams, who has been more efficient than spectacular of late.
Green Bay (8-3-1) are hot too, with Jordan Love ranking No.1 in EPA per play since Week 11.
The Packers have dominated this rivalry historically, but Chicago’s offensive line ranks first in pass block win rate, giving them a real chance to cover.
TIP 3 – Kansas City Chiefs -3.5 @ 19/20
Kansas City Chiefs vs Houston Texans (Sunday Night Football, Dec. 8, 1:20am GMT)
The Chiefs (6-6) are fighting to stay alive in the AFC playoff race. Patrick Mahomes has lacked consistent receiver production, but Travis Kelce remains his most trusted weapon.
The Texans (7-5) kept on track without C.J. Stroud, as Davis Mills guided them to three straight wins.
But their young QB returned to make enough plays in a 20-16 win at the Indianapolis Colts last week and their defence remains among the best in the league.
Arrowhead is a tough place to win and the Chiefs are desperate, so Andy Reid’s men are tipped to cover a small spread.
TIP 4 – Philadelphia Eagles -3.0 @ 10/11
Philadelphia Eagles vs Los Angeles Chargers (Monday, Dec. 9, 1:15pm GMT)
The Eagles (8-4) will want to halt a two-game skid and stay out in front of the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East.
Injuries remain a concern in Philadelphia with Lane Johnson (ankle) and Cam Jurgens (concussion) questionable.
The Chargers (8-4) are battling injuries too, but RB Omarion Hampton is due back from a long-term ankle problem and QB Justin Herbert is expected to play with a fractured non-throwing hand.
Herbert’s protection has been shaky, ranking among the worst in pressure rate allowed, which could be how the Eagles get on top in a close Monday Night Football battle.
