NFL Week 14 Predictions: Can Anyone Stop the Cowboys?
The Dallas Cowboys are looking like a team to be reckoned with in the NFL, and their opponents this week won't make it easy for them. The Lions are no exception - both teams have received plenty of national exposure over the past month, and the Cowboys' superior performance will likely seal the deal.
For those who can't resist the urge to gamble, the Cowboys are 3-point favorites against their NFC North rivals. But even with this spread advantage, Vegas is notorious for overestimating the Cowboys. The key matchup to watch is the Lions' rushing attack, which Dallas's revamped defensive front has consistently shut down. Expect the Cowboys to come out on top in both straight-up and against-the-spread bets.
On the other side of the field, the Washington Commanders are getting healthier by the day. They'll face off against a Minnesota Vikings team that's struggling, thanks largely to quarterback Jayden Daniels' potential absence. The Commanders have started to resemble the team they were envisioned to be before the season began - except for their defense, which is still an issue.
In other games, the Dolphins and Jets are playing hard, but both teams have long since given up on this season. The Bills-Bengals matchup has been reduced to a mere formality, with the Dolphins being taken at 2.5-point favorites despite the cold weather conditions.
Meanwhile, the Browns will look to fill their stadium for this matchup against the Tennessee Titans - that's something of a challenge! Big draft implications are on the line here as well.
The Steelers and Ravens have the biggest point spread difference in the AFC North this week, with the Steelers at 5.5-point underdogs against a Ravens team that has looked nearly unbeatable on defense so far this season.
In other games, Aaron Rodgers has been nowhere to be found, and the Broncos are the worst team left in the league right now. Can they beat the Raiders?
The Packers will face off against the Bears, who may have given up too soon to take their newfound success too seriously. In a closely watched NFC North matchup, expect Micah Parsons to wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks.
Lastly, the Rams should be able to overcome any setbacks in this Week 14 game against the Cardinals, whose season has been all but over for some time now.
Texans at Chiefs (-3.5): The Chiefs are likely to prove they're not done yet despite almost surely missing the playoffs.
The Eagles' matchup with the Chargers will be an intriguing one, despite the team's limited confidence after a recent bye week. Justin Herbert's injury could go either way in this game.
As for the survivor pool, only the Buccaneers seem like a safe bet against a Saints team that can't even score more than 17 points per game since Tyler Shough took over the reins in Week 8.
With their record of 128-65-1 so far this season (0.662) straight up and ATS 30-42-1, it's time for Jimmy Kempski to get out there and make some picks that will hopefully help you win your week 14 survivor pool.

. The Texans have been putting up some crazy numbers lately and I think KC might underestimate them at home, especially with Mahomes dealing with injuries himself 
.
. The key for them will be keeping their cool on defense and not letting the Lions' offense get into a rhythm.
. But hey, we've seen surprises happen in this league before so you never know 
.
their defense is way overrated and the Lions have been practicing those plays for weeks...the real question is how long can Aaron Rodgers hold out?
They've been struggling all season but if they can get that W, it'll be huge momentum boost. Rodgers might not show up this time and the Broncos will take advantage of their lack of playmakers. 
Fingers crossed!
, they're definitely the team to beat in the NFL! The Lions are no joke though, their rushing attack is gonna be a challenge for the Cowboys' defense 
! And have you seen the Broncos' form lately? They're the worst team left and they still gotta beat the Raiders 
. Micah Parsons is gonna make some magic happen in that Bears-Packers matchup 
!
I think the Cowboys are gonna be like, super hard to beat, especially with their defense looking all sorted out 
a major letdown
