NFL Predictions Week 14: Upset Picks and Projections
- Updated: December 7, 2016
The underdogs make a comeback in Week 14.
Most didn’t make any noise in Week 13 based on the odds out of Las Vegas. A bye-free week and strong upset scenarios has this slate looking much better for those who like to live life on the edge.
Whether it is divisional contests or miserable road teams once again away from home, bettors will find it rather simple to get behind some of the week’s notable underdogs.
After a look at the whole slate, let’s zoom in on some of the week’s best upset picks.

Bettors might have an aversion to Thursday Night Football because of how unpredictable the games can be on a short week.
This AFC West clash, though, is too hard to ignore. Bettors will immediately recall the Kansas City Chiefs smacked around the Oakland Raiders 26-10 in Week 6.
There, the Chiefs rushed for 183 total yards and three scores and ruled time of possession at 36 minutes and 45 seconds, while the Raiders didn’t have starting back Latavius Murray.
Bettors can bank on the Week 14 matchup playing out differently. Kansas City is 9-3 and has won two in a row, but it won those two games by a total of four points. Oakland sits right behind the Dallas Cowboys as the hottest team in the league at 10-2 and hasn’t lost since the Week 6 game against these Chiefs.
Though it sounds almost cliche, these Raiders have discovered the winning formula. Much of the credit goes to Derek Carr, as ESPN Stats & Info pointed out:
