Week 13 of the 2021 NFL season saw the first team fall officially out of playoff contention. That team was not the Detroit Lions, who defeated the Minnesota Vikings by a score of 29-27 to secure their first win of the season. No, the Houston Texans, who fell to 31-0 to the Indianapolis Colts and dropped to 2-10, were the first team to be officially bumped from the playoffs. That’s not to say Detroit will make the playoffs — they won’t — but they have not officially been eliminated, as of yet.
Week 14 of the 2021 NFL season could see other teams fall out of the playoff race, but the focus will be on which teams succeed more than which teams will fail. With that, there are a number of very intriguing games to keep an eye on during Week 14 of the 2021 NFL season.
But before we look at all the Week 14 money lines, totals and point spreads, here’s where you can find the top betting sites for NFL football in 2021, as well as NFL MVP betting resources.
NFL Week 14 – Sunday Slate
Dallas vs Washington
- Date & Location: Sunday December 12 at FedEx Field in Landover, MD
- Time: 1:00 p.m. ET
- How to Watch: FOX
The Washington Football team went into its bye week in Week 9 with a 2-6 record. The team is unbeaten since its week off, going 4-0 with wins over Tampa Bay, Carolina, Seattle and Las Vegas. During that same span, Dallas has gone 2-2.
With five games left in the regular season, @robphillips3 makes his case for Micah Parsons to be NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

As good as Washington is playing, it’s still hard to think the team has what it takes to beat Dak Prescott on the offensive side of the ball and a resurgent Dallas defense.
Pick: Dallas to win and Dallas to cover
Baltimore vs Cleveland
- Date & Location: Sunday, December 12 at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland, OH
- Time: 1:00 p.m ET
- How to Watch: CBS
This is the second time in three weeks where the Ravens face the Brown. Baltimore won the first meeting 16-10 at home. While Baltimore faced the Steelers in Week 13, the Browns were off on their bye week, which means they have effectively been getting ready to play Baltimore for three weeks. That’s great for Cleveland, but not so good for the Ravens.

This could be a sloppy offensive game, but I think the rested Cleveland team takes it. I would go with the Browns for the win in this one.
Pick: Cleveland to win.
Las Vegas vs. Kansas City
- Date & Location: Sunday, December 12 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO
- Time: 1:00 p.m ET
- How to Watch: CBS
This is the second meeting between these two teams. In the first game, which took place in Week 10, Kansas City ran over Las Vegas by the score of 41-14. Patrick Mahomes had a season best 406 yards in the air that game and Travis Kelce had 119 yards receiving.

I don’t know if the result will be that much of a blowout in this second meeting, but I believe Kansas City comes out of this home game with a win.
Pick: Kansas City to win and cover the spread.
Buffalo vs Tampa Bay
- Date & Location: Sunday, December 12 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL
- Time: 4:25 p.m ET
- How to Watch: CBS
This is probably the most anticipated game of Week 14. However, that enthusiasm may have dropped over the past few weeks because Buffalo has not played great. The Bills have alternated wins and losses over the past eight weeks. Meanwhile Tampa Bay is 6-2 during that stretch and currently on a three-game winning streak. There’s also the pesky history of Tom Brady vs. Buffalo. In 35 matchups against the Bills, Brady-led teams have put together a record of 32-3.

Brady is having an MVP season, I don’t think the Bills are the team that’s going to spoil that run.
Pick: Tampa Bay to Win and go with the under.
