While the battle for playoff spots begins on the opening day of the new NFL season, the truth is that most of us don’t really start talking about the postseason until we get into the second half.
We are well beyond that point now, with the battle for those coveted playoff spots heating up.
NFL Betting Analysis in the Week 14
We have already seen some teams clinch, while a few others have been officially eliminated, but for every other team, hope springs eternal.
The Buffalo Bills have already clinched their spot after locking up the division, but there is still the #1 seed to consider.
The Rams are hanging in there and still have a shot at winning the West, but they really need a win here, which is going to be easier said than done.
The Bills are favored by 3 ½, with the point total set at 49 ½.
^Buffalo Bills Odds -193
After a bit of an up and down start to the regular season, the Buffalo Bills have settled into a groove, winning 7 in a row to move to 10-2 this season.
While both of those losses have come on the road, they are still a respectable 4-2 away from home, but those defeats might explain why the spread isn’t a little higher.
As mentioned earlier, the Bills have already locked up the AFC East, but they have their eyes set on the #1 seed, and with a win over the Chiefs this season, they do have the tiebreaker if it comes to that.
Besides winning, the Bills have also been a great pick against the spread, covering in 6 of their last 7 games.
The UNDER has hit in 6 of their last 8 non-conference games. The remainder of their schedule looks like this:
You would certainly like the Bills to win 3 of those remaining 4 games, with the trip to the Lions being the one that could potentially trip them up.
^Los Angeles Rams Odds +149
Sitting with a .500 record at this stage of the season does not usually bode well for teams looking to be in the playoffs, but given how weak the NFC West has been this season, the Rams could still potentially win the division.
They are coming off a win that kept them in the hunt, and just one win back of the Seattle Seahawks on top, but they cannot keep relying on other teams in the division to keep losing.
The Rams have now won 4 of their last 7 overall and are 12-2 ATS in their last 14 games played in the month of December.
The UNDER has come up in 5 of their last 6 versus the NFC East. Their remaining schedule looks as follows:
- @49ers
- @Jets
- Vs Cardinals
- Vs Seahawks
With a couple of divisional games still to come, as well as one against the woeful Jets, the Rams could still be in the playoff picture with a loss here.

Given how well the Bills have been playing, I don’t see them coming away with anything less than a win here.
I also like them to cover the spread and the total to go UNDER.
Buffalo Bills 30, LA Rams 17
