NFL Week 14 Betting Online
Following the traditional Thanksgiving feast of football, the NFL gets back to normal in Week 14, starting with the Amazon Thursday night game between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. Both teams will have hosted the Thanksgiving Day games the week before. Detroit should be in the stretch drive towards the playoffs and a potential NFC North title. Dallas could be in the hunt for a wild-card spot if Brian Schottenheimer can rally them from a lost season in 2024, based in large part on injuries. There is still a belief with some observers that the Cowboys may be a surprise contender. By the time this game is played, we will know just what the Cowboys actually are.

TEAMS ON BYE: Panthers, Patriots, Giants & 49ers
In the early Sunday window, the oldest rivalry in the NFL will be renewed when the Green Bay Packers host the Chicago Bears. Although this rivalry dates back to the founding of the NFL, there has been an interesting quirk regarding the matchup. Most seasons, when either the Packers or Bears are up, the other team is down.
The one recent exception was in the 2010 season, when the Bears lost to the Packers in the NFC championship game. It could be the case again this year, but if the Bears improve under new head coach Ben Johnson, this game may actually matter. The Packers may not be as good as expected based on their playoff flop last year.
Regardless, the Bears and Packers have a great history and are legacy franchises with large national fan and gambler interest.
Speaking of rivalries, another great one will be renewed from the AFC North when the Baltimore Ravens host the Pittsburgh Steelers. A decade ago, the Steelers and Ravens annually fought for the highest of stakes. These days, the Ravens are knocking on the Super Bowl door while the Steelers are meekly limping into the playoffs as a wild-card team. By the time this game is played, we will know who the quarterback is for the Steelers and if that quarterback is making a positive impact to elevate the franchise.
In the late afternoon window, the Buffalo Bills will host the Cincinnati Bengals in a matchup that could serve as a potential playoff preview. Cincinnati's season will hinge on whether or not quarterback Joe Burrow can stay healthy. Burrow missed a good chunk of the 2024 season, and the Bengals fell far behind, yet they rallied to nearly make the playoffs after Burrow returned.
A sleeper matchup in the NFC West, where the Arizona Cardinals will host the Los Angeles Rams, could prove to be a good one. The Cardinals showed remarkable improvement last year, going from a 4-13 record in 2023 to 8-9 in 2024. Head coach Jonathan Gannon was hired to get quarterback Kyler Murray’s mind right, and it appears to be working.
Meanwhile, Sean McVay continues to lead the Rams. When he was hired in 2017, McVay was touted as the most brilliant mind in the game and that he would reinvent the sport. While McVay does have a Super Bowl title, his win percentage is above average at .606, hardly the look of a genius.
NBC Sunday Night Football has a strong matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Houston Texans. This is a potential AFC playoff preview and a strong quarterback matchup of Houston’s CJ Stroud and Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs, who remain a coveted property by the TV networks.
