Week 13’s Monday Night Football game was an important one. In that matchup, the 8-4 New England Patriots faced the 7-4 Buffalo Bills in Buffalo. The game was played under incredibly windy conditions and it was the Patriots running game and defense that carried them to a 14-10 record and the win. The victory was the seventh win in a row for a New England club who started the season with a 2-4 record. Now 9-4, the Patriots are the No. 1 team in the AFC.
The Week 14 MNF game is also crucial. The battle between the Los Angeles Rams (8-4) and Arizona Cardinals (10-2) features the top two teams in the NFC West. Arizona is also the No. 1 team in the NFC. This is the second meeting between these teams. Arizona defeated Los Angeles 37-20 in Week 4 of the 2021 NFL season.

MNF Best Bets
I expect this will be a close game, but I think the Rams will get back the game they lost earlier this season.
Pick: Rams to win.
With Los Angeles being the pick and the spread being what it is, I think the Rams will cover as well.
Pick: Rams to cover +1.
Both teams are playing well on the offensive side of the ball, so I expect both teams to be able to put up a decent number of points. With that, take the over in this one.
Pick: Over 51 points.
