NFL Week 14 Picks, Score Predictions

Week 13 of the NFL season concludes tonight when the Miami Dolphins take on the New York Jets. After that, we now look forward to the matchups in Week 14. Several key games will be worth watching as Seattle takes on Philadelphia, New England battles San Diego and Atlanta travels to Green Bay to name a few. Here are my picks and score predictions for each Week 14 game.

Dallas Cowboys at Chicago Bears

Expect a big bounce-back performance from Tony Romo and DeMarco Murray as the Cowboys will dominate the reeling Bears, 31-14.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Detroit Lions

Tampa Bay is playing for the No. 1 pick while the Lions are in the hunt for a playoff spot. Detroit wins easily, 28-13.

New York Jets at Minnesota Vikings

Percy Harvin will go off against his former team, and the Jets will at least quiet the Rex Ryan talks for another week with a 24-17 victory.

St. Louis Rams at Washington Redskins

St. Louis is clearly headed in the right direction while Washington has no idea what they want to do. The Rams' offense will feast against Washington's porous defense and win, 27-23.

Baltimore Ravens at Miami Dolphins

Baltimore has owned Miami in South Beach in the past and will do so again on Sunday. Justin Forsett will have a big day and the Ravens will win, 28-10.

Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints

Carolina is regressing with Cam Newton under center while the Saints and Drew Brees are rolling. New Orleans wins in a blowout, 42-17.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals

I have no confidence in either of these teams going down the stretch, but the Bengals find a way to win games while the Steelers find ways to lose. Cincinnati re-establishes their home-field advantage with a 20-13 win.

New York Giants at Tennessee Titans

Tennessee just gave up six touchdown passes to Ryan Fitzpatrick, and while Eli Manning isn't that much better, the Giants' passing attack will carve up Tennessee. The G-Men snap their seven-game losing streak with a 24-16 win.

Indianapolis Colts at Cleveland Browns

Cleveland's quarterback situation is still in question while Andrew Luck is performing like the best quarterback in the NFL. Indianapolis goes into Cleveland and wins a close one, 20-16.

Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars

Ryan Fitzpatrick won't throw for six touchdowns against Jacksonville, but he and his receiving corps will make enough big plays to win. The Jaguars' defense will keep it close, but Houston will prove to be too much in a 24-10 win.

Kansas City Chiefs at Arizona Cardinals

Outside of an interception return by Rashad Johnson, the Cardinals did nothing against the Falcons in Atlanta. Even at home, the Cards will struggle to contain Jamaal Charles and the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City wins on the road, 23-17.

Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos

Buffalo's defense, especially their front four, is very good, but not good enough to single-handedly slow down Peyton Manning and Co. Denver struggles early but pulls away late with a 30-16 win.

Seattle Seahawks at Philadelphia Eagles

It was great to see Mark Sanchez have a successful day against Dallas, but the Seahawks' defense is a few levels above the Cowboys. After a slump, the Seahawks are back to their old selves and will roll in Philadelphia, 28-17.

San Francisco 49ers at Oakland Raiders

San Francisco's offense can't move the ball on anybody, but Oakland just lost 52-0 to the Rams. San Francisco squeaks by in an offensive struggle with a 20-17 win.

New England Patriots at San Diego Chargers

San Diego saved their season with a come-from-behind 34-33 win over Baltimore in Week 13, while New England was impressive in a 26-21 loss in Green Bay. Still, the Patriots are a better team and their corners will slow down Philip Rivers and Co. New England wins in a shootout, 31-28.

Atlanta Falcons at Green Bay Packers

The Packers are so good at home that not even the Patriots, who were riding a seven-game winning streak, could defeat Green Bay in Lambeau. Atlanta had an impressive win against Arizona, but traveling to face Aaron Rodgers is an entirely different challenge. Green Bay wins rather easily, 35-14.
