NFL Expert Picks 2015: Week 14 Predictions Against The Spread

The Week 14 NFL schedule began with the Arizona Cardinals' three-point victory over the Minnesota Vikings with the losing team covering the point spread. Many experts predicted the Cardinals to win big, and they are doing the same for a few of the league’s other top teams.

Not only are the Carolina Panthers expected to remain undefeated, but most experts seem to think they’ll have little trouble beating the Atlanta Falcons. Cam Newton and Co. are favored by more than a touchdown over the visiting Falcons, who have lost five games in a row. In the other NFC South contest, experts expect the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat the New Orleans Saints by more than a field goal.

A few games stand out as ones that experts are split on. The three-point betting line indicates that the Chicago Bears and Washington Redskins are equal, and there is no general consensus either way. The Denver Broncos are clearly better than the Oakland Raiders, but there is some debate as to which team will cover the 7.5-point spread.

Below is a look at expert predictions against the spread for the NFL Week 14 schedule.
