2025 Sunday Night Football Best Bets - NFL Lines & Picks

2025 NFL Sunday Night Football Week 14 Betting Lines

For the first time in 10 seasons the Kansas City Chiefs won’t win the AFC West. And there’s a good chance the three-time AFC champions don’t even qualify for the postseason. In a near must-win situation, the Chiefs host the Houston Texans in the Week 14 Sunday Night Football matchup. Both teams are currently outside the AFC playoff hunt with Houston in a slightly better position with one more victory than the 6-6 Chiefs. The Texans moved within a game of first place in the AFC South with Sunday’s 20-16 win over Indianapolis, their fourth straight triumph.

After being on the plus side in a number of close games last season, the script has flipped for the Chiefs, who dropped to 6-6 on the year with a 31-28 setback in Dallas on Thanksgiving. Every loss this season has been by 7 points or less and the Chiefs are 1-6 in one-score games with four losses, including their last two, by a field goal. The game takes place on December 7 at 8:20 p.m. ET from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City and can be seen on NBC.

Texans at Chiefs Betting Preview

Things can change quickly in the NFL. A month ago the Texans were 3-5 following a home loss to Denver and C.J. Stroud was knocked out of that game with a concussion. However, the club rallied behind backup Davis Mills overcoming a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat Jacksonville in Week 10 starting their 4-game streak. Mills was behind center for three straight wins, including a massive victory over Buffalo in Week 12 with their defense harassing Josh Allen all night.

A win over the division leading Colts on Sunday not only improved Houston’s standing in the AFC South, it also moved them within a game of now co-leaders Indy and Jacksonville. It also marked the return of Stroud, who was admittedly rusty but well enough to throw for 276 yards on 22 of 35 passing. And once again the Texans were helped by a stingy defensive effort. They held the NFL’s highest scoring team to a season low point and have allowed 20 points or less in 10 of their 12 games.

A stingy defense that leads the NFL in fewest yards and points allowed per game and is second-best on third downs along with an offense that doesn’t turn the ball over makes Houston a tough out. The Texans have 10 giveaways this season, 7th fewest in the NFL, and they are tied for the second-best turnover margin at plus-9. Houston has cashed the UNDER in three straight games and is 3-1 ATS in its last four.

The Chiefs find themselves in unfamiliar territory in what’s been the worst season in the Patrick Mahomes era. A stretch of five wins in six games earlier in the season seemingly had KC back on track after losing their first two contests of the season. But the Chiefs have slumped again with three losses in their last four games against some of the best teams in the league, and the outcomes could have been different.

Including their playoff win over Buffalo, the Chiefs went 11-0 in one-score games last season. They haven’t been as fortunate this year with all six defeats by 7 points or less. Each of KC’s last three games were decided by a field goal with the win coming in overtime against Indy in Week 12, and they lost to Buffalo by a converted touchdown.

The Chiefs are putting up decent numbers offensively but nothing like we’ve seen in the past from Mahomes and Co. They rank in the top 10 in both scoring and total offense with Mahomes throwing for 3,238 yards and 22 TDs. The lack of a ground game has limited the unit’s effectiveness, though. Kareem Hunt leads the team with 515 rushing yards and Mahomes is next with 348 yards.

The teams played twice last season with the Chiefs winning both, including a Divisional Round playoff matchup, extending their winning streak in the series to five with four of the victories at home.
