Oakland Raiders (+3.5) at Kansas City Chiefs (Thursday, 8:25 p.m. ET)
The best Thursday night game of the year and possibly the best game of the entire Week 14 slate. I like the Chiefs at home here mostly because of how bad the Raiders defense has been.
The pick: Chiefs -3.5
Denver Broncos (+1) at Tennessee Titans (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Neither team can afford to lose this game, but I like the Broncos to win this one pretty handily.
The pick: Broncos +1
San Diego Chargers (+1.5) at Carolina Panthers (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Panthers bounce back after a disgraceful one (not just talking about Cam's tie here) in Seattle.
The pick: Panthers -1.5
Houston Texans (+6) at Indianapolis Colts (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
We say this every year, but it's no less true: the NFL should take after the NBA and not let winning your division influence whether or not you make the playoffs. Either the Colts, Texans, or Titans will make the playoffs over some other, significantly better AFC team (either the Broncos, Steelers, or Ravens), and it's extremely frustrating.
The pick: Texans +6

I really, really want to talk myself into the Browns picking up their first win of the year, but yeah, no.
The pick: Bengals -5
Pittsburgh Steelers (-2) at Buffalo Bills (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Pittsburgh has won three straight, and they keep it rolling with a big win here.
The pick: Steelers -2
Arizona Cardinals (+1) at Miami Dolphins (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
I don't believe in either of these teams, but think the Cards are slightly better despite their worse record.
The pick: Cards +1
Chicago Bears (+7.5) at Detroit Lions (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Not overthinking this one!
The pick: Lions -7.5
Minnesota Vikings (-3.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Blake Bortles has more career pick-sixes (11) than wins (10). A good rule is to never bet on that.
The pick: Vikings -3.5

Kirk Cousins is way better than Carson Wentz, and with a line this close sometimes that's all you need.
The pick: Washington -1
New York Jets (+2.5) at San Francisco 49ers (Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET)
My god this is a depressing one. How will the Jets figure out a way to lose it?
The pick: Jets +2.5
New Orleans Saints (+2.5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET)
Still not entirely sure why I don't yet believe in the Jameis and the Bucs, but if they can win this one (as they should) I think I'll finally hop on the bandwagon.
The pick: Bucs -2.5
Seattle Seahawks (-2.5) at Green Bay Packers (Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET)
Every outcome feels possible in this one. A Seahawks blowout win, a Packers blowout win, or an OT game. Ultimately the Seahawks are more talented, and that gets it done for them.
The pick: Seahawks -2.5
Atlanta Falcons (-6) at Los Angeles Rams (Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET)
The Rams are 4-8 with four weeks to go. Let's take a quick look at their remaining schedule, and make some off-the-cuff predictions:
Home vs. Falcons — Loss
Away vs. Seahawks — Loss
Home vs. 49ers — Win
Home vs. Cardinals — Loss
Hey, congrats to Jeff Fisher! He won't finish 7-9 this year. He'll finish 5-11.
The pick: Falcons -6

I've taken the Giants just about every week of the the season and just about every week of the season (regardless of result) they've let me down against the spread. So screw it, I'm taking the Cowboys.
The pick: Cowboys -3
Baltimore Ravens (+7) at New England Patriots (Monday, 8:30 p.m. ET)
These teams hate each other, and the Ravens are probably the only team right now that can go into Foxborough and believe they're going to win. But I don't think they will on Monday night.
The pick: Pats -7
