It was\nalmost an exceptional week for those betting this angle as Detroit\nand Atlanta both failed to cover the NFL betting line on Thanksgiving\nby a single point, and that would have made home underdogs 7-2 ATS in\nWeek 13. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miami, Cincinnati,\nPittsburgh, Denver, and Houston all won outright. Four of those five\nteams were short underdogs of three points or less, but the Dolphins\nclosed at +10 per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/football\/nfl\">NFL\nbetting odds<\/a> against the Philadelphia Eagles. That led\nto Ryan Fitzpatrick summoning a little Fitzmagic to lead Miami past\nPhilly, seriously endangering the Eagles\u2019 playoff hopes. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are currently\nthree home underdogs in Week 14, but not all the lines have been\nreleased yet. Minnesota won\u2019t be an underdog at home against lowly\nDetroit this week, but the Rams are likely to be a three to four\npoint home dog against the Seahawks after Seattle moved to 10-2 on\nMonday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">NFL WEEK 14 BETTING ODDS<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CHICAGO BEARS +2.5 VS. DALLAS COWBOYS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Minnesota\u2019s loss\nto Seattle on Monday Night Football has kept Chicago alive in the NFC\nplayoff picture. The Bears are 6-6 and two games behind the Vikings\nwith four games to play, and they need to beat Dallas on Thursday\nnight to stay in contention. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both teams are\nplaying on typical rest since they took part in the Thanksgiving Day\ngames, but the Cowboys are favored per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/football\/nfl\">NFL\nbetting odds<\/a> largely due to perception of the Bears.\nMitchell Trubisky has stunk out loud against any team other than\nDetroit this season, while Dak Prescott is thriving in a contract\nyear. Chicago still boasts one of the most intimidating defenses in\nthe league though, making the Bears a very live underdog this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BUFFALO BILLS +5.5 VS. BALTIMORE RAVENS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Bills were\nplaying any other team, they would be receiving a lot more love this\nweek. Buffalo impressed everyone on Thanksgiving with its performance\nin a win over Dallas, but no team is more beloved than Baltimore\nright now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lamar Jackson is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/futures-and-props\/nfl-futures\">odds-on favorite to be named NFL MVP<\/a>, and the Ravens are in line for the No. 1 seed. Baltimore is coming off a huge win over San Francisco on Sunday, and this team had won its previous five games by at least two touchdowns before nipping the 49ers 20-17.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buffalo has a stingy\ndefense, and this unit was the first to shut down New England\u2019s\noffense this year. The Bills might be the best team to figure out how\nto stop Jackson due to their athleticism at defensive back, so the\nyoung quarterback could be flummoxed by what Buffalo has in store. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS +2.5 VS. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Gardner Minshew II\nis Jacksonville\u2019s quarterback once again. Minshew gave the Jaguars\na spark after they were absolutely flat in the first half last week\nin a drubbing at the hands of Tampa Bay, but he will be facing a\nrejuvenated Chargers\u2019 defense. Safety Derwin James is finally\nhealthy once more, giving LA back one of its best players. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chargers may be\nready to give up on the season though. Their loss to Denver dropped\nLA to 4-8, and this team\u2019s postseason hopes are slim to none after\nthe defeat. With that in mind, Jacksonville could end up closing as a\nfavorite per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/futures-and-props\/nfl-futures\">NFL\nbetting odds<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ARIZONA CARDINALS +1.5 VS. PITTSBURGH STEELERS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Arizona is no longer\nPittsburgh West. The Cardinals have completely overhauled their\nroster under Kliff Kingsbury, and there have been some promising\nmoments. They are more competitive than they were last year at 3-8-1,\nand Kyler Murray has taken significant steps forward in his\ndevelopment as a rookie. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Steelers have\nbeen winning through defense, but the offense has been smoke and\nmirrors. Neither Mason Rudolph nor Devlin Hodges have played well,\nand that could bite Pittsburgh 3,000 miles away from the Steel City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>OAKLAND RAIDERS +3 VS. TENNESSEE TITANS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Tennessee is one of\nthe hottest teams in the NFL. The Titans have turned their season\naround with Ryan Tannehill under center instead of Marcus Mariota,\nwinning five of their last six games and three in a row. Tannehill\nhas given the offense the passing threat it needed to thrive, but\nOakland has been inconstant with its performance all season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Five of Oakland\u2019s six losses this season have come by at least 18 points, while all the Raiders\u2019 wins have been by one possession. That gives us an idea of what to expect from this Jekyll and Hyde team.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get the latest NFL football odds and information\u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/betonline_ag\">follow BetOnline.ag on Twitter<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/betonline_ag\/\">BetOnline.ag\non Instagram<\/a>\u2013Follow\nfor the latest odds, stats and information!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five home underdogs won outright last Sunday in a banner week for home dogs.
