Week 14 NFL Betting Picks: Giants (+7), Panthers (+4) & Steelers (-3) all meet at the cash window

For those of you coming around here for the first time: I take my Cuban sandwiches and sports betting opinions very, very seriously.

I also put in a lot of work, whether it's reading as much as I can, watching a ton of games and pouring over (what I think) is valuable betting content. All together: I'm all in on whatever it takes to be a profitable 'Sports Betting Analyst.' It drives me.

So, I appreciate the continued support around here, even if you insist on eating meatloaf instead of picadillo, or the Dolphins being a smart bet to win the Super Bowl this year. 

Pero, let's forget, for now, that you have probably never been to Miami and have terrible taste in food, because we have NFL betting picks to make -- after studying the Week 14 bet board. Hopefully none of my Week 14 NFL betting picks send you straight for the Pepto Bismol bottle. And as always: please bet responsibly. (BTW: My overall NFL betting record currently stands at 20-9-1.)

Eagles @ Giants+7:  Perfect spot to bet the Giants (7-4-1), significant home underdogs despite having a winning record and (currently) being a playoff team. The Giants may be far from perfect, but they have built a tendency of playing close games -- thanks to a talented coaching staff that has found a way to mask the team's deficiencies (namely at quarterback and the receiver's room). However, the Giants have the goods to control the pace of the game, while exploiting the middle of the field against an overvalued Eagles' defense, which has been burned repeatedly this season despite the team's overall success. While 11-1, Philadelphia has also been held to 21 points or less by the Colts (17), Cardinals (20) and Commanders (21). Not exactly, quality competition. Therefore, I'm betting the Giants to take advantage of the Eagles weaknesses. And they have plenty of them.

Ravens @ Steelers -3:  The Ravens weren't exactly lighting up the scoreboard with Lamar Jackson under center, and I'm betting their struggles to score (on offense) will continue with backup QB Tyler Huntley at the controls. The Steelers, winners of two straight and still breathing in the AFC playoff race, have seen QB Kenny Pickett improve in recent weeks, which includes not turning the ball over. Let's bet Pickett continues to make enough plays and the Steelers defense bottles up Huntley, who will be asked to move a Ravens offense lacking any serious punch. 

Panthers (+4) @ Seahawks: Carolina, winners of two of their last three games and coming off a bye week, are on their third quarterback (Sam Darnold) this season, but 3-0 against the spread in their last three games. The Seahawks, meanwhile, have failed to cover the spread in close to a month. That's why, I'm betting the Panthers to get their first road win of the season.
