Week 14 Sunday Results

The NFL never ceases to amaze us. Watching the Jaguars dismantle the Colts and the Saints destroy the Cowboys, you can never really tell what will happen from week to week. Meanwhile, teams such as the Ravens, Bengals and Eagles continue to take it up a notch as the playoffs approach. Let’s look at the betting stories from Week 14 Sunday.

Vikings 30 Lions 20

Detroit shot themselves in the foot enough early to lose this one late. The road favorite covered and the over prevailed. Funny, we know they played yesterday but we can’t find anyone we know that actually watched the game!

Bengals 27 Raiders 10

Cincy took command early and coasted, exactly what they needed in the midst of a playoff push. This game was almost like a bye week. An easy home cover for the Bengals.

Giants 27 Panthers 13

Without Jake Delhomme, the Carolina offense struggled. Meanwhile, New York showed up and won a crucial road game. Though, Eli Manning MUST be more efficient down the stretch in order for the G-men to get in the postseason. A road favorite covered.

Eagles 21 Redskins 19

Jason Campbell is not yet ready to be a top notch NFL QB and Jeff Garcia is playing like the one he used to be. Philadelphia won but failed to cover as a road favorite. Washington’s defense is playing better, but their pass game is not good right now.

Falcons 17 Bucs 6

It was all Buccaneers early, but someone forgot to tell them to score points when you dominate. Atlanta’s defense held the fort until Vick & co. woke up. The road favorite and under covered.

Ravens 20 Chiefs 10

Steve McNair showed why the Ravens went out and got him by once again being steady with gusts of greatness. Baltimore won as a road dog and the under was a the play on the total in this contest.

Dolphins 21 Patriots

Every week there is a shocker and this one certainly qualifies as Week 14’s surprising result. New England is not taking care of the ball or playing consistent on offense right now. The home dog prevailed here and the under was a lock.

Jaguars 44 Colts 17

We can’t figure out this Jaguars team. They put up 44 points against the Colts, yet drop two games to the Texans. The running game was the key here, as Taylor/Jones-Drew were unstoppable. The home dog and over were your winning bets for this matchup.

Titans 26 Texans 20 (OT)

Yep, another week of Tennessee football and another week for Vince Young to pull it out at the end. He is getting better and better and we think he’ll be what Michael Vick was supposed to be. The road favorite and over were the correct wagers.

Packers 30 49ers 19

Brett Favre and Donald Driver turned back the clock and looked like the best passing combo in the league as Green Bay showed up on both sides of the ball to bury the 49ers.

Yes, the over was the lock of the week, but the road dog winning outright was certainly not something we could have foreseen.

Cardinals 27 Seahawks 21

It’s too bad the Cardinals are winning now that it’s all but confirmed Dennis Green is done as head coach. Arizona is finally protecting the quarterback and winning games. They covered as the home dog and pushed the total over. As for Seattle? They were out of synch all game and looked like a team searching for answers.

Chargers 48 Broncos 20

LaDainian Tomlinson became the most prolific single-season runningback in league history and San Diego clinched their postseason spot. The over was accomplished in the third quarter and the home side Chargers covered the spread.

Bills 31 Jets 13

The better team won here and that’s a shame considering the Jets still have a chance at the playoffs. Buffalo’s hard luck finally ended. They covered as a road dog and handed New York a costly loss.

Saints 42 Cowboys 17

This was a case of coach Payton knowing intimate tendencies of Tony Romo from their days together in Dallas. New Orleans all but confirmed their place in the postseason and served notice that they are for real. The Saints won outright as a road dog and over was predictably covered.
