With the countdown to Christmas being well and truly on, it’s time for teams to make their break for the top spots before the short break in action at the start of next year. There are plenty of hugely important games this week, as the Lions look to extend their incredible winning streak to 11 while the Vikings are hoping to pile on the pressure in the NFC North.
Here at BetVictor, we’ve got another 5 NFL betting predictions for week 14 of the 2024/25 season, with picks for the Detroit Lions vs the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings vs the Atlanta Falcons, the Miami Dolphins vs the New York Jets, the Arizona Cardinals vs the Seattle Seahawks, and the Dallas Cowboys vs the Cincinnati Bengals!
Game 1: Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions
- Date: Thursday December 5th 2024
- Time: 8:15 pm EDT
- Our Pick: Same Game Parlay (Amon-Ra St. Brown over 69.5 receiving yards and over 0.5 receiving touchdowns, Jared Goff over 249.5 passing yards)
As mentioned, the Detroit Lions are by far the hottest team in the NFL right now, as they were victorious in all 10 of their most recent games. The team from Green Bay are in decent form, too, currently sitting on a win streak of three. Should the Packers walk away from Detroit with the win, they would be within just a couple of wins of taking the top spot from the Lions. Of course, many believe this to be the most unlikely scenario, with the Detroit Lions being superior in virtually every metric.
The glaring strategy in this game is for the Lions to exploit the Packer’s secondary, with Amon-Ra St. Brown being the target of Jared Goff. Our same game parlay for this encounter was built with this in mind, consisting of Amon-Ra St. Brown over 69.5 receiving yards and over 0.5 receiving touchdowns, with Jared Goff achieving over 249.5 passing yards. If the Lions go for this obvious game plan, this parlay could certainly be an option to consider!
Game 2: Atlanta Falcons @ Minnesota Vikings
- Date: Sunday December 8th 2024
- Time: 1:00 pm EDT
- Our Pick: Minnesota Vikings -5.5
The next match-up is the Minnesota Vikings vs the Atlanta Falcons, which perhaps offers the most interesting storyline from week 14. Although the Falcons are struggling to keep an even record in 2024/25, currently sitting at 6-6, they lead the NFC South, while the Vikings with a record of 10-2 remain in second in the NFC North.
The Falcons really struggled in their last encounter against the Chargers, with quarterback Kirk Cousins underperforming for the third game in a row. It seems logical to swap him out for Michael Penix Jr to step into the starting lineup for this one. However, it’s a decision that is certainly filled with risk.
On the other end of things, Sam Darnold is making some incredible offensive plays for the Vikings this season and will likely give Raheem Morris’s team a lot to think about throughout the game. We think that all signs point towards a Minnesota Vikings win here, so we’re picking them to overcome the -5.5 point spread.
Game 3: New York Jets @ Miami Dolphins
- Date: Sunday December 8th 2024
- Time: 1:00 pm EDT
- Our Pick: Miami Dolphins Money Line
When it comes to games that have the most magnitude in the NFL this week, look no further than the face-off between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets. The Dolphins are still in contention for playoffs. However, it would be a delight for Jets fans around the world if their team were responsible for burying this dream.
There are plenty of different reasons behind our backing of the Miami Dolphins in this game, with Tua Tagovailoa being the key player to look out for, as usual. We think the Jets will have immense trouble keeping him at bay and when you combine this with the must-win feel to the game, it’s hard to bet against the Dolphins. Despite this, we can see this game being a close one, which is why we haven’t thrown a handicap on the end of this NFL betting pick.
Game 4: Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals
- Date: Sunday December 8th 2024
- Time: 4:05 pm EDT
- Our Pick: Arizona Cardinals -2.5
Looking to spectate a game that few experts can agree upon? If so, the Seahawks heading to Arizona is certainly a game to circle for Sunday afternoon. The team from Seattle has a slightly better record overall in the NFC West, sitting at 7-5 as opposed to the Cardinal’s 6-6, with the Seahawks also having better recent form as they head into this game.
This could certainly be a game that is determined by one big play, which is why we’re giving a slight edge to the Cardinals, despite all the stats. When these two teams faced off in Seattle just 2 weeks ago, the Seahawks prevailed 16-6. However, this scoreline doesn’t tell the whole story. In both the previous H2H and their last game on the road to the Vikings, the Arizona Cardinals had real chances to win and given their 4-2 home record, we think this game being played inside of the State Farm Stadium will make all the difference.
Game 5: Cincinnati Bengals @ Dallas Cowboys
- Date: Monday December 9th 2024
- Time: 8:15 pm EDT
- Our Pick: Over 49.5 points
Our last game for this week is the Dallas Cowboys against the Cincinnati Bengals, with it being safe to say that both teams have had a somewhat underwhelming season by their own standards. The Cowboys look to be the more promising team at the moment as they are seemingly finding a small patch of form, with this game having the potential to extend their winning streak to 3.
With neither team having a particularly strong defense, it’s likely that this will be a high-scoring affair. We don’t think this game will be overly tactical or disciplined and we wouldn’t be surprised by a fast pace that sees Joe Burrow and Dak Prescott, who is expected back from a hamstring injury, put plenty of points on the board.
