Projected Line: NY Jets by 6 points
Taking the Jets as road favorites might seem a bit crazy, but they have a great matchup in here against the Jaguars. The Jets have a top 5 pass defense and they won't have problems in stopping Chad Henne today, while with both Maurice Jones-Drew and Rashad Jennings out, the Jaguars' running game is non-existent. On the other hand, Mark Sanchez will face the worst pass rush in the league and I expect him to bounce back today and have a solid performance. Their running game should also give some support to their offense today, so I expect the team that is still alive in the playoff race to step it up today and get a comfortable win on a good matchup for them. I'm taking the Jets in here.

NFL Week 14 - 115 Chicago Bears @ 116 Minnesota Vikings
Projected Line: Minnesota by 1 point
I see this game being indeed a good spot for Minnesota to get revenge over their loss at Chicago two weeks ago. I know Christian Ponder is struggling and he will face a very tough Bears defense, however Adrian Peterson is in super form right now and he will crush the Bears' run defense that is just #22 on rushing yards allowed per carry. Chicago is dealing with some important injuries on defense, including Tim Jennings and Brian Urlacher, so I expect Minnesota to have a solid offensive game today. On the other hand, Chicago's offense doesn't impress me at all and without support from their defense, they will struggle to produce offense on their own after a decent Vikings' defense that will be fired up today. I see this game being very close and so, I'll be taking the home underdog in here.

NFL Week 14 - 125 Miami Dolphins @ 126 San Francisco 49ers
Projected Line: San Francisco by 14 points
San Francisco is the team to back on bounce back spots and so, after a loss at St Louis, I expect them to crush Miami today. The Dolphins have a decent defense, but their run defense has struggled a bit lately and so, I believe San Francisco will run all over them on a good spot for the 49ers. Miami's offense is quite poor in both the passing and the running game, therefore I believe the 49ers won't have any issues in shutting them down today. I believe on a blowout win for the 49ers today, so I'll be taking them in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 126 San Francisco 49ers (-10) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
NFL Week 14 - 127 New Orleans Saints @ 128 New York Giants
Projected Line: NY Giants by 7 points
Drew Brees and the Saints have been a massive disappointment this season and I expect that to continue happening today. The Saints' passing game isn't very effective in cold weather conditions and I believe the Giants' defense will be fired up today to stop the Saints, after losing last week in Washington on MNF. They also have revenge from last season's huge loss at New Orleans, so I believe the Giants' pass rush will put Drew Brees in a lot of trouble today. On the other hand, New Orleans' defense continues being a disaster against both the passing and the running game, therefore I believe both Eli Manning and Ahmad Bradshaw will have big games today. I expect a comfortable win for the Giants today, so I'll be taking them in here.

NFL Week 14 - 129 Arizona Cardinals @ 130 Seattle Seahawks
Projected Line: 32 points
Seattle is coming home after a great road win at Chicago last week on overtime. Russell Wilson has been great lately, but he is on a letdown spot today and so, I expect him to struggle against one of the best pass defenses in the league. Arizona has been a great defensive team throughout the whole season, but they have been a complete disaster on offense. John Skelton is back as the starting quarterback today, but he won't do a thing against the Seahawks' good pass defense, while Arizona's running game lacks quality to do any kind of damage to any team. I believe both teams will struggle a lot today on offense, with Arizona being really at risk of scoring single digits points today. Therefore, even considering the low totals line, I'll be taking the Under in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 129/130 Under 36 @ -110 / 1.91 on Bovada
2-Team 6pts Teaser:
NFL Week 14 - 107 Kansas City Chiefs @ 108 Cleveland Browns
NFL Week 14 - 119 Philadelphia Eagles @ 120 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Kansas City is coming from a home win against Carolina on a very emotional game for them, but I expect them to have a letdown today. Brady Quinn is coming from a career game, but he will struggle against Cleveland's good defense, while Jamaal Charles can't carry the team's offense on his won. Cleveland is on a two-games winning streak and I believe they will take advantage of Kansas City's poor defense to have their third comfortable win in a row today.
Tampa Bay is currently on the playoff hunt and they should have no problems in taking out the Eagles today. Philadelphia's defense has been a disaster lately and the Bucs have weapons in both the passing and the running game to take advantage of that. On the other hand, Philadelphia's offense has been carried by rookie RB Bryce Brown, but Tampa Bay has the best run defense in the league, so the Eagles will struggle offensively today. I expect an easy win for Tampa Bay today.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 108 Cleveland Browns (-2) x 120 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-2) @ -110 / 1.91 on 5Dimes
NFL Week 14 - 131 Detroit Lions @ 132 Green Bay Packers
Projected Line: Green Bay by 10 points
This will be a game played under snow and so, I believe Green Bay will be much more used to the weather conditions and they will get a nice win today. Aaron Rodgers will have no problems in pounding the Lions' banged up secondary, while Matthew Stafford will struggle with the weather conditions and with Calvin Johnson being the only quality receiver on the field for Detroit, as Titus Young, Nate Burleson and Ryan Broyles are now in the injury reserve. I believe Green Bay will deal better with the weather conditions, they have edges in both the offense and defense and therefore, they should get an easy win today. I'm taking the Packers tonight.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 132 Green Bay Packers (-6) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
