For the second week in a row, I’m backing three favorites.
What could possibly go wrong?
Hopefully, for our sake — and for the sake of our wallets — everything will go right.
Let’s dive into my best bets for NFL Week 14.
(All times ET)
SUNDAY, DEC. 8
Jets @ Dolphins (1 p.m., CBS)
As a fan of the Jets for over three decades, I try not to bet on them or against them because emotions often get in the way.
Not this time.
On Friday, the Jets announced that linebacker C.J. Mosley is headed to IR, and Breece Hall and Sauce Gardner are doubtful to play Sunday.
The Jets had that painful 26-21 loss to the Seahawks. In that game, the Jets were up 21-7 and Aaron Rodgers missed a wide open Garrett Wilson to go up three touchdowns. And then, on the next play, he threw a 92-yard pick-six. The Jets have no shot at the playoffs. Mathematically, they’re on life support, but everyone in that locker room knows the season is over.
So now you have a post-Thanksgiving trip to Florida, where the Dolphins are coming off extra rest having played last Thursday, and they’re healthy and primed to run down Denver for the final wild card spot.
Mike McDaniel has failed miserably as a head coach facing superior teams. He’s 1-15 against teams over .500. But when he steps down in competition? The Dolphins often roll, handling bottom feeders like the Raiders and Patriots with ease.
The Jets, much to my chagrin, are a bottom feeder.
PICK: Miami (-5.5) to win by more than 5.5 points
Blazin’ 5: Vikings (-5.5) beat struggling Falcons, Bills (-3.5) knock out Rams in Week 14
Panthers @ Eagles (1 p.m., FOX and FOX Sports App)
The Eagles might be the best team in the NFL right now.
They’re the best running team in the NFL, and that will be a terrible matchup for the Panthers. Carolina is the only team in the NFL to give up 2,000 rushing yards (166 per game,…
