Can Home Teams Go 4-0 This Early Sunday?

That’s what the NFL Week 14 game odds have it as all four hosts are favored to come out on top. This starts with the Buffalo Bills who are tied as the second-largest favorites for Week 14. Then the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves as favorites as they face the Baltimore Ravens without their star quarterback, Lamar Jackson. The Browns and Bengals also rematch as an AFC South tilt between Tennessee and Jacksonville finishes the quartet of games on CBS at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Bills Claim Dominance Over Jets

The Jets established themselves as legitimate contenders with a huge upset over Buffalo in Week 9. But that did not move the needle at all as the NFL Week 14 game odds have New York as another 10-point underdog (+335 on the money line (ML)). This time, the scene shifts to Buffalo where the Bills are 7-3 against the spread (ATS) in their last 10 versus the Jets.

Buffalo is also 8-1 in its last nine home games. Quarterback Josh Allen plays much better at home where is 4-1 with a passer rating of 105.4. He’s also thrown 12 touchdowns, which is the same amount of times he’s been sacked and picked off. The Bills are also scoring 33.8 points at home, which is the most in the NFL.

Eight of the Bills’ last 10 games have gone under but this one could buck that trend and go over the 43.5 set at the sportsbook. As for covering versus the Jets, Buffalo will need to be at peak form against the frisky underdogs. The Jets have not lost by more than seven points in their last nine games and are 3-2 ATS as road underdogs.

Baltimore Ravens vs Pittsburgh Steelers

Records: Ravens (8-4), Steelers (5-7)
Location: Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Steelers Favored Over Jackson-Less Ravens

Winners of two straight, the Steelers (-145) are expected to make it three thanks to Baltimore losing Jackson (knee). The quarterback was downgraded to ‘OUT’ on the NFL injury report Week 14. That means Tyler Huntley will take over under center. The third-year pro is making his fifth career start and is 1-3 as a starter. He’s thrown three touchdowns to five interceptions.

As such, the game’s 37-points total is tied for the lowest this week. Pittsburgh itself is lacking in offense, averaging just 20.8 points at home (21st). It’s why seven of their last nine home games have gone under the total. Kenny Pickett is coming off a solid outing against Atlanta where he finally hit a passer rating in the 90s.

Baltimore’s passing defense could also allow Pickett to move the ball. This unit has given up an average of 257.7 passing yards on the road (25th). The Ravens (+2.5) have struggled to cover the spread all season at 4-7-2. However, those four wins came on the road (4-2 ATS).

Cleveland Browns vs Cincinnati Bengals

Records: Browns (5-7), Bengals (8-4)
Location: Paycor Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio

Bengals Hungry to Snap Skid Versus Browns

Just as the Jets turned the tables on the Bills, so did the Browns on the Bengals in Week 8. Cleveland extended its streak over Cleveland to five games. Since then, the Bengals have since won four straight while Cleveland has Deshaun Watson. The quarterback was unremarkable in his first start since 2020 and Cincinnati (-260) is expected to hand him and the Browns an “L” here.

As for the Bengals, Joe Burrow and company overcame a slow start and have been on fire since. Burrow has thrown 22 touchdowns with five additional ones on the ground versus just four picks in this span. The Bengals are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games with that one loss coming against the Browns.

The NFL Week 14 game odds see that as an aberration as they are favored by a touchdown (-7). The last time Cincy covered as a favorite against Cleveland was back in the 2017 season with the 0-16 Browns. The Bengals are rolling now though Cleveland will put up resistance. It could be a high-scoring affair with a total of 47. These teams have gone over it in seven of their last 10 meetings.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Tennessee Titans

Records: Jaguars (4-8), Titans (7-5)
Location: Nissan Stadium, Nashville, Tennessee

Titans Can Bounce Back by Extending Streak Versus Jaguars

As Cleveland has consistently beaten Cincinnati, so have the Titans against the Jaguars. Tennessee has won five straight over Jacksonville and is 9-1 in its last 10 games against it. For this one, the Titans are lined as four-point favorites (-210 on ML) per the NFL odds.

Tennessee has last two straight, which culminated in the firing of general manager Jon Robinson. This may have been a knee jerk reaction as the Titans’ old receiver, A.J. Brown, scorched them. The Titans still sit comfortably atop the division and have won five straight against their AFC South counterparts.

Offense has become a bit of an issue as the team failed to hit the 20-point mark in five of its last eight games. It’s partly why four of their last six games have gone under the total.

As for the Jaguars, Doug Pederson’s crew is just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games. The offense has become a bit of an issue as the team failed to hit the 20-point mark in five of its last eight games. It’s partly why four of their last six games have gone under the total. The 41 points is not a significant total and three of these rivals’ last four games in Tennessee have gone over. So there may be some extra scoring here.
