Game: BUF@PIT (currently at PIT -2)

TREND: PIT at home
  • SU: 5-2-0 (71%) this season
  • ATS: 4-2-1 (67%) this season
 

BONUS TREND: PIT after a win

  • SU: 5-2-0 (71%) this season
  • ATS: 8-1-1 (67%) this season
 

The Pittsburgh Steelers go into Week 14 with an elite defense and an offense rejuvenated under Devlin “Duck” Hodges. JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Connor are full participants in practice for the first time since Week 11, which should provide a boost as well. Mike Tomlin has elevated himself into the Coach of the Year conversation and has his team playing at a high level. The “Minkah effect” provided a boost all around to an already stout defense. TJ Watt and Bud Depree are among the best pass rushing duos in the league, and they pair with a solid cornerback duo in Joe Haden and Steven Nelson. 

Buffalo comes into this game with their first Sunday Night Football game since 2007. That can be taken as motivation for them to show up on primetime, or a spot where a team is in an unnatural situation. Being that the game is in a tough place to travel, Heinz Field, late in the season, it might be wise go with the latter. Expect Pittsburgh to bring pressure to Josh Allen that limits the passing game and provides good field position for Duck and Co. to put enough points on the board to escape with a victory. 

Game: DEN@KC (currently at KC -10)

TREND: KC in division home games

  • SU: 9-1-0 (90%) last 10 games
  • ATS: 7-3-0 (70%) last 10 games
 

BONUS TREND: Chiefs vs. divisional opponents

  • SU: 13-2-0 (87%) last 15 games
  • ATS: 11-4-0 (73%) last 15 games
 

Andy Reid has been known during his time in Kansas City to dominate division opponents. He knows that winning the division is huge and taking care of business within the AFC West can play a huge factor going into the playoffs. Denver shocked the world last week and practically dominated a Houston Texans team just coming off a huge win against New England. Drew Lock made his first career start and looked the part nonetheless, even getting some praise from opposing head coach Andy Reid. Getting that same production against a Kansas City defense who has found their identity will be a tough task.  

Kansas City hasn’t looked like itself on offense this year, with a hampered Patrick Mahomes being the start of it. Despite still playing at a somewhat high level, the multiple injuries sustained have obviously been affecting his play. Being at home should provide a boost and Andy Reid is known for saving some of his better plays for games like this one.

Game: NE@CIN (currently at NE -9.5)

TREND: NE after a loss

  • SU: 23-7-0 (77%) last 30 games
  • ATS: 21-9-0 (70%) last 30 games
 

BONUS TREND: NE after 2 losses In a row

  • SU: 6-0-0 (100%) last 30 games
  • ATS: 4-2-0 (67%) last 30 games
 

This is a very rare situation for New England at a good number as well. New England’s lack of offense is the talk of the town right now (well, except this), yet the Patriots are mentally “On to Cincinnati.” The defense is still playing at a very high level and the Bengals are still the Bengals. Josh McDaniels will out scheme Cincy and make it simple for Tom Brady and his offense to flow, while Belichick and his defense will continue its dominant season. New England has all the motivation to keep fighting for the #1 seed in the AFC, while Cincinnati is thinking about who to draft at No. 1 in the 2020 NFL Draft, although it shouldn’t be that tough of a decision

Game: JAX@OAK (currently at OAK -6.5)

TREND: JAX in West Coast games

  • SU: 0-9-0 (0%) since 2009
  • ATS: 1-8-0 (11%) since 2009
 

Talk about a rare situation, the Oakland Raiders are hosting their last game in RingCentral Stadium (BallPark). Oakland is known for having an insane fan base, and it’s guaranteed that they’re going to come in full force for the last home game ever. Throw all the numbers out for this one, even though Jacksonville has looked like a complete dumpster fire all around. Myles Jack is out as well which provides a mismatch for Darren Waller, and Oakland is hopeful they’ll have rookie sensation Josh Jacobs back. Ride the wave of the last game in Oakland, as this situation only happens once, and -6.5 is a great number for wagers on the favorite.
