NFL Week 14

OK, having been absolutely hammered the last 2 weeks (3-8-1), hopefully this week can see a big improvement.

Here's what I like anyway

Browns -5.5 vs Chiefs
The Browns have won their last 2 (not pretty though) while the Chiefs are coming off an emotional victory against the Panthers following the Jovan Blecher incident. I personally can't see the Chiefs carrying any sort of momentum into this match-up and there must be a collective feeling of "lets get this season over with at this stage" in their locker room this late in the season. I think the Browns will win this by more than a TD so the 5.5pts is worth a bet for me

Bills -3.0 vs Rams
The Bills have been playing quite well since the bye week with close(ish) losses to the Texans and Patriots coupled with wins over the Dolphins and Jaguars with a defeat to the Colts thrown in for good measure. They should have too much for the Rams who had a great win last weekend against the 49ers. However the Rams don't seem to be able to build on victories like this (lost at home to Jets after tying with 49ers last time) and I think the Bills will have too much for them overall

Jaguars +3.0 vs Jets
The Jets are awful. The Jaguars are just very bad but have been playing very well since Henne took over from Gabbert at QB. I don't understand why the Jaguars are the underdogs here TBH, I thought they would have been favs. The spread here is a general +2.5 but I think it's worth buying the extra 1/2-pt to bring it up to +3.0 just in case the Jets decide to show up and just play very badly instead of awful!

Redskins -1.5 vs Ravens
Redskins are one of the hottest teams around at the moment with 3 wins from 3 divisional games in the last 3 weeks. The Ravens looked poor last week against the Steelers (the Redskins are no Steelers I admit but still) and are generally a poor team on the road anyway. The pressure is on Baltmore now as well with both the Steelers and Bengals breathing down their necks and I think RG3 and the Redskins will have too much for them

Buccaneers -7.0 vs Eagles
The Bucs are still in the hunt for a playoff spot while the Eagles are in the hunt for a new coach. I think this line is flattered by the Eagles performance against the Cowboys on Sunday night but IMO the Eagles have all but written this season off apart from 1 more match, their Week 17 trip to the Giants.
