Playing home\nunderdogs did harm to your bankroll in Week 14 of the NFL season. The\nChicago Bears won outright as a home underdog on Thursday night, but\nthe other four teams that were home underdogs lost outright on\nSunday. Buffalo and Arizona came close to covering and did cover\nteasers, but Jacksonville and Oakland were smashed at home and didn\u2019t\nhave a chance at covering the NFL\nbetting odds<\/a>. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFL WEEK 15 BETTING ODDS<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

WASHINGTON REDSKINS +4.5 VS. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Eagles are not\nplaying good football, and they are on a short week. Philadelphia\nsnapped a three-game losing streak by beating the New York Giants in\novertime on Monday Night Football last week, but Philly needed to\novercome a 17-3 halftime deficit to earn the victory. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carson Wentz and the\nEagles are in a must-win scenario, yet they allowed Case Keenum to\nshred this defense in Week 1. Dwayne Haskins has improved as a passer\nsince first taking the field as a rookie, and Washington\u2019s running\ngame is in a lot better shape with Derrius Guice back in action to\ncomplement Adrian Peterson. The Redskins nearly knocked off Green Bay\nin Lambeau Field last week, and they are a formidable foe. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CINCINNATI BENGALS +9 VS. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cincinnati is\nplaying much better football with Andy Dalton back under center. The\nBengals have been more competitive than their 1-12 record indicates,\nand they won their first game two weeks ago by beating the New York\nJets 22-6. They have stayed within single digits in eight of their 13\ngames, and they are the biggest home underdog of the week by the NFL\nbetting odds<\/a> against New England. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Patriots have\nlost two straight games, and they do not appear to be the indominable\njuggernauts of old. They have not won a game by double digits since\nlate October, and they have lost three of their last five games. With\nBuffalo coming to town for the AFC East title next week, New England\njust wants to win any way possible, so the Pats may not blow out the\nBengals like the oddsmakers expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAROLINA PANTHERS +6 VS. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kyle Allen has\nregressed in recent weeks. Carolina has lost its last five games as\nAllen has struggled, and the second-year quarterback has been sacked\neight times in that stretch. He hasn\u2019t had much help from his\noffensive line, getting sacked 24 times in those games, but Seattle\u2019s\nadvanced stats aren\u2019t as good as you might think for a 10-3 team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seattle has a point\ndifferential of +20 this year. The Seahawks have only won one game by\nmore than one score in 2019, so the Panthers have a decent chance of\nstaying within the NFL\nbetting line<\/a>. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARIZONA CARDINALS +2 VS. CLEVELAND BROWNS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a rough\nstretch for Arizona. The Cardinals have lost six straight games, and\nthey have yet to beat a team with a winning record this season. Kyler\nMurray has looked like a rookie in recent weeks, but the Browns have\na below average defense. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleveland has\nunderwhelmed this season. The Browns have won four of their last five\ngames though, and they have an outside chance of making the playoffs.\nHowever, internal dissension threatens to undermine the team and\nCleveland hasn\u2019t won a road game since stunning Baltimore in late\nSeptember. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS +2.5 VS. MINNESOTA VIKINGS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Chargers are one\nof the strangest teams to understand in 2019. While they are 5-8,\nthey have a +38 point differential with blowout victories over Green\nBay and Jacksonville. None of their losses have come by more than\nseven points, so this could be the perfect bet for your NFL\nteaser picks<\/a> on Sunday. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minnesota is 9-4,\nbut the Vikings needed to overcome a 20-point halftime deficit\nagainst Denver a few weeks ago, and they weren\u2019t too great against\na bad Detroit team last week. This is a must-win game with the Los\nAngeles Rams on their heels, but there\u2019s a reason they are only\nslight favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DALLAS COWBOYS +1 VS. LOS ANGELES RAMS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Jason Garrett is\ncoaching for his job the last three weeks. Garrett must make the\nplayoffs and likely needs to win at least one postseason game too in\norder to remain employed as Dallas\u2019 head coach, but this team has\nwon just three of its last 10 games after starting the season 3-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cowboys should be getting more points here given how the Rams looked against Seattle last week. However, Dallas is the most public team to bet on in the NFL, so the hosts are only getting one point from the oddsmakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
