NFL Predictions: Week 14 Picks for Every Game
Athlon's experts pick every winner for every game on the Week 14 slate
Week 14 in the NFL signals the last of the bye weeks, which means every team will soon be on the same footing in terms of games played. There are only five (or four for the four teams on bye in Week 14) games left in the regular season and one look at the standings will tell you there's plenty to be determined over the next several weeks.
The Week 14 action starts with Pittsburgh and Minnesota squaring off on "Thursday Night Football." Both teams are hoping to become more of a factor in the playoff hunt in their respective conferences.
On Sunday, the theme for the early window (1 p.m. ET) of games is divisional play. Five of the seven divisional matchups on tap for Week 14 will take place in that time slot. Dallas and Washington will face off with the Cowboys currently enjoying a two-game lead in the NFC East. Cleveland will try and draw closer to AFC North-leading Baltimore in the teams' second meeting in three weeks, and Las Vegas heads to Kansas City to try and cool off the red-hot Chiefs in a key AFC West matchup.
Later on Sunday, it's a quartet of cross-conference pairings, highlighted by Buffalo's visit to Tampa Bay. If anything, the Bills will be happy for a change in the weather after dealing with the windy, wintry conditions in a tough loss at home on Monday night to the Patriots. San Francisco and Cincinnati also will hook up in a name-only rematch of Super Bowl XXIII, for those who are old enough to remember that game.

A pair of divisional clashes gets the prime-time spotlight, as the Bears head to Lambeau Field to try and stop the Packers on "Sunday Night Football." Green Bay will look to maintain its recent dominance in the rivalry series with Chicago. The Week 14 slate concludes with a pivotal NFC West bout between the Rams and Cardinals on "Monday Night Football." Arizona would basically put the division on ice with a season sweep of Los Angeles. The Cards beats the Rams 37-20 back in Week 4. A victory also would keep Arizona ahead of Green Bay and Tampa Bay for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
