Welcome to another week of football betting. Before we get into the most interesting bets of Week 14, let’s take a look and see how we did last week.
Our first best bet was a 10-point three-team teaser with:
Jacksonville Jaguars (PK) over Indianapolis Colts
New England Patriots (+1.5) over Buffalo Bills
Seattle Seahawks (+17) over Philadelphia Eagles
This tease was never in doubt as we picked three outright winners, including our upset special Seattle Seahawks. That is our third straight Tease of the Week that has hit for us!
Our second bet was a four-team moneyline parlay with:
Oklahoma (-265) over TCU
Oakland Raiders (-300) over New York Giants
Los Angeles Rams (-294) over Arizona Cardinals
Kansas City Chiefs (-120) over New York Jets
Our first loss in three weeks came thanks to the skidding Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have now lost five of their last six games and have shown no signs that they will turn their season around anytime soon. Until Kansas City shows something they should be considered a stay-away team.
Best Bets 5-1 (Current Total: $582.04; Started with $200)
Upset Special 2-1
Best Bets:
Tease of the Week (Three-Team 10-Point) –
Cincinnati Bengals (+3.5) over Chicago Bears
Los Angeles Chargers (+4.5) over Washington Redskins
New England Patriots (-1) over Miami Dolphins
The Chargers and Patriots are two of the hottest teams in the NFL right now and I love them in these games. The Chargers are playing a Washington team that has been completely devastated by injuries this season and the Patriots cruised to an easy win against this Miami team just two weeks ago. Despite Gronkowski being out due to suspension, I am confident in them. The Bengals seem to be the weakest link in this bet but Chicago seems to be a team lost and look like one of the top candidates to have a new coach next season. I don’t see Chicago winning on the road despite Cincinnati’s struggles this season.
