Daniel Collins’ Week 14 NFL Pick

Calvin Ridley o62.5 Receiving yards (-115) BetOnline

I am going to keep this short and sweet.

Calvin Ridley and the Tennessee Titans host the Jacksonville Jaguars in a battle of the bottom of the AFC South in Nashville, TN.

First and foremost, Calvin Ridley is going against his former team.

Even though he was only in Jacksonville for a season, he has made it KNOWN that he has had this game circled on his calendar since the start of the season. Some games just mean more.

The Narrative aside, Ridley has been cooking for the Titans the last month of the season, and gets a fantastic matchup against this very subpar Jacksonville secondary.

Ridley has 63+ Receiving yards in 4 of his last 6 games and the Jaguars are 32nd in the NFL in receiving yards allowed and 30th to the WR position.

Those stats mixed with the former team narrative is the perfect recipe for a huge day for Ridley. Let’s cash in.

Nate Hornung’s Week 14 NFL Pick

Best Bet: Dolphins -5.5 (-115) BetOnline

BetOnline is feeding us 5.5 while the rest of the market has -6, so I’ll dabble and back Miami.

For starters, it’s a home game. It should be 77 and sunny for kickoff tomorrow at 1:00pm eastern. Tua will be fine. Since his return, it took a couple tough, close games to get going, but the Dolphins have won 3 of their L4. They sit at 5-7, are in 2nd place in the AFC East, and find themselves just a couple games behind the Broncos and Ravens for the final Wild Card spot. Every game means the world to Miami, and they won’t be looking ahead, because nothing else matters if they don’t win this week. Coming back home after a loss on the road, I think Miami makes the most of this game against New York.

The Jets… are still the Jets. The pulled some Halloween magic and beat the Texans in Week 9, but other than that, New York has lost 8 of their L9, and didn’t look good off of a bye week. This is the first of two remaining games against the Dolphins, and with little motivation for the Jets, I don’t see a world where they cover this number.

Colby Marchio’s Week 14 NFL Pick

Best Bet: Bears (+3.5) BetOnline

This Sunday, we’re rolling with a tried-and-true system play: backing a team fresh off firing their head coach. It worked when the Saints moved on from Dennis Allen, and now it’s the Bears’ turn. Chicago made franchise history by firing Matt Eberflus midseason, the first such move in their 104-year history.

After a tough Thanksgiving loss to the Lions, the Bears are heading to San Francisco to take on a struggling 49ers team riding a three-game losing streak. Those losses came against Seattle, Green Bay, and Buffalo, with the latest setback on Sunday Night Football.

While the Bears haven’t won since Week 6 against Jacksonville, they’ve been competitive. Despite going 0-3 straight up, they’re 2-0-1 against the spread in that span, all against divisional opponents (Packers, Vikings, Lions). With one of the team’s biggest issues now out of the building, morale should be at an all-time high.

Varun Sharma’s Week 14 NFL Pick

Bowers leaps over defenders in Kansas City.

Best Bet:Brock Bowers o70.5 Receiving Yards (-108)

It’s not up for debate, Brock Bowers has been the best TE in the NFL this year. Bowers sits 1st in the NFL in receptions, 4th in targets, 4th in total receiving yards and 6th in yards after the catch. To say he’s been dominant, would be a gross misrepresentation of what he’s doing.

Brock sits atop these leader boards among ALL RECEIVERS, not just TEs. He’s dominated the field of play in his rookie season and this week he gets a great matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Tampa ranks 30th in total pass yards allowed, 30th in yards allowed to opposing TEs and with Brock’s target share, I don’t see them fixing these holes before Sunday. Bowers is seeing a 27% target share for the Raiders and that’s jumped to 29.7% after the departure of Davante Adams.

Brock’s seen 10+ targets in 6 of his L8 games, including 4 of their L5 road games. In the 5 games with O’Connell under center, Bowers saw 10+ targets in all games after Week 1, clearing this line in 4 of the 5 games and 90+ in 3 of 5.

Brad Blakemore’s Week 14 NFL Pick

Best Bet: Ladd McConkey o4.5 Receiving Yards (-113)

The Los Angeles Chargers have their new Keenan Allen. Ladd McConkey was drafted next year to help bolster the Chargers receiving core. But nobody could have predicted that in his rookie year he would have already begun to make fans forget all about former top receiver Keenan Allen. He is a target hog and wins by route efficiency and stacking short gains.

While the start of the season took some time for Ladd to figure things out he has really burst into the top receiving role over the last 6 games. In those games he has surpassed 100+ receiving yards in three games and has had 6+ receptions in four of them. He has averaged 76.8 receiving yards over the last 5 games and today should be no different.

The Chargers will take on their division rival the Kansas City Chiefs. While the Chief have has a stout secondary they have begun to show cracks. In the past two games the Chiefs have faced bottom dweller teams in the Raiders and the Panthers. Both teams put up a fight and a good chunk of passing yards against them. The Raiders threw for 340 yards while the Panthers threw for 263. This would be a statement win from the Chargers, so Herbert will do all he can do to win, and feeding McConkey could be part of that plan.

Sukh Brar’s Week 14 NFL Pick

Carolina Panthers o95.5 Team Rushing Yards (-115)

Vibes are high in Carolina. Bryce Young is seemingly redeemed, Jonathon Brooks is being slowly worked in, and Chuba has been very solid. Philly has a good run defence but they still surrender 104.8 rushing yards per game. Carolina has averaged 105.3 rushing yards per game so far and that was without their coveted rookie. Carolina is 32nd is total yards per game offensively. They will need their running backs in the city of brotherly love. Whether the rookie breaks out, Chuba has a big game, or they share the responsibilities — this line feels low all things considered.
