The Bills have lost an ability to deliver consistently, alternating wins and losses in consecutive games since Week 5. Last week, it was Buffalo’s turn to lose. The old nightmares returned for Bills Mafia as the New England Patriots marched into Orchard Park with the top seed in the AFC, ran on 45 of 48 plays, and left with a 14-10 win and a clear hold on first place in the AFC East.

Mobile sports betting in New York was approved by regulators earlier this month. It is expected to be active by the Super Bowl.

Florida bettors enjoyed a month of mobile sports wagering before the Hard Rock sports betting app was shut down following three decisions in federal court junking the gaming compact between the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the state that allowed the practice.

The fate of the compact and online betting in Florida now rests with the federal appeals court in Washington. Other plans to legalize sports betting in the Sunshine State won’t go into effect until 2023 at the earliest.

Week 14 NFL Betting Trends

Dogs, Chalk Continue 2021 Tussle

After 180 games in 2021, underdogs have a 102-77-1 (56.5%) edge ATS. But last week the favorites rallied for an 8-6 record, costing sportsbooks along the way. Still, this entire season has been one of underdogs on and off the betting boards. The top seed in the NFC (Cardinals) and AFC (Patriots) did not make the playoffs last season. If that holds, it will mark the first time since 1992 that two teams secured home-field for the playoffs after missing the postseason in the previous year. Those teams were Pittsburgh and San Francisco.

Roger Goodell must be loving the fact that 19 teams have a .500-or-better winning percentage. Parity. Parity. Parity. And even better for Park Avenue, nine of those 19 teams did not reach the playoffs last year, including the top seeds as noted above.

With five weeks remaining, bettors and oddsmakers can’t relax given the continued threats of injury and COVID-19 protocol sidelining players and coaches. The Cowboys get Mike McCarthy back this week after he missed Week 13 due to a positive test.

The AFC has two critical intra-divisional games this week. The first-place Ravens play the last-place Browns in the North, and the first-place Chiefs play host to the last-place Raiders in the West. The top and bottom teams are separated by just two games. All four teams in both the AFC North and AFC West are .500 or better. The last time every team in multiple divisions had at least .500 winning percentages in Week 14 or later was 2008, according to the NFL.

Notable NFL Week 14 Line Movements

Here’s a look at Week 14 NFL odds movements of note on betting apps since they were released. Listed are the opening and current NFL Week 14 betting lines via DraftKings Sportsbook that have moved 2 or more points:

Seattle Seahawks at Houston Texans

BUZZ: The Texans have all but given up. Last week, it got so bad Tyrod Taylor was replaced by rookie Davis Mills. The Texans on Wednesday cut linebacker Zach Cunningham because he was late for a COVID-19 test. Cunningham was quickly claimed by the Titans. Even without Jamal Adams, oddsmakers now like Seattle by more than a touchdown.

Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns

BUZZ: The Browns are coming off a bye after losing to the Ravens 16-10 two weeks ago. The Browns have failed to scored more than 17 points in six of their past seven games. But the Ravens and Lamar Jackson are struggling, coming off a 20-19 loss last week to Pittsburgh in which Jackson was sacked seven times. Home field has become the difference here.

New York Giants at Los Angeles Chargers

BUZZ: The Chargers saw their stock rise – and this line move along with it – with a 41-22 win at Cincinnati. Big Blue delivered another tepid performance with Mike Glennon at QB in a 20-9 loss at Miami. Now the Giants have to travel cross-country and face a team playing for a piece of the AFC West lead.

Detroit Lions at Denver Broncos

BUZZ: It might be too much to ask for the Lions to win two games in a row. But the line movement here seems counterintuitive. In addition to winning their first game in 364 days last week, the Lions saw their record rise to 8-4 ATS this season, tied for the fourth-best in the NFL. This appears to be a deal too good to pass upon.
