Week 13 was the week of the underdogs. From the Football Team to the Browns, the underdogs showed up big time! We were able to call a few of these in our picks. We went 9 wins and 6 losses and our season total now sit at 108 wins. 59 losses and 1 tie. Let’s dive into our NFL Week 14 picks and see which upsets are on deck!
Patriots at Rams
The Rams are sitting in sole position of first place in the NFC West. Their offense is starting to hit its stride and their running back committee has been a big reason why. The Patriots are coming off an absolute annihilation of the Chargers to the tune of 45-0. Cam Newton looks healthy and so does the New England running game.
The Patriots are sitting at 6-6 and are barely in the hunt for the wild card. They will keep the game close against the Rams but the Rams are the more talented team on both sides of the ball and will pull away in the 4th quarter.
Pick: Rams
Texans at Bears
The Bears were in control of their Week 13 game against the Lions from start to (almost) finish. They blew a 10-point lead in the last 4 minutes and tumbled into their sixth consecutive loss. I know I have never picked the Bears to lose. But maybe they need me to pick against them to end this slide. Their defense use to be their calling card but that unit has given up nearly 80 points in the last two weeks.
The Texans are not world-beaters by any mark but they have the better offense and until Chicago proves they have any will it’s hard to pick them to win anything.
Pick: Texans ( this hurts to type)
Vikings at Buccaneers
The Vikings offense will be put to the test against a tough Buccaneers defense. Tampa needs this game to hold onto their position in the NFC wild-card race. The Vikings are just one game behind them and if they win they will leapfrog Tampa.
I think the Buccaneers come out firing after the bye week and get that much-needed victory. There have been a lot of questions about this team and all of the hype it got early on. I think Tom Brady quiets that down for at least one week.
Pick: Buccaneers
