Boost the Bankroll: NFL Five-Team Teaser Play for Week 14 of 2024

The final stretch of the 2024 NFL regular season is upon us, and YouBet will look to strike with a five-team, six-point teaser play (+400) in Week 14. All lines below include the six-point tease, and courtesy of BetMGM, and times listed as Eastern.

Falcons at Vikings (1 p.m. Sunday): Falcons +11.5

Falcons played better last week but couldn’t overcome four interceptions from Kirk Cousins, who has really struggled throwing no touchdowns and six interceptions during the current three-game losing streak. The veteran quarterback has rebounded previously from low points in his career, and Cousins proved he still has plenty in the tank earlier this season, throwing 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions as Atlanta opened 6-3. Falcons appear more than capable of being competitive against a Vikings offense that isn’t as productive as earlier in the season. 

Excluding an overtime win over slumping Chicago, Minnesota is averaging 19.9 points over their last six games, and none of their last nine games have been decided by more than 10 points, with Minnesota winning or losing seven one-score games during the stretch. The Falcons went off form and were vulnerable a couple of weeks ago, but they’re starting to turn things around and figure to play well in Minnesota.
 

Jaguars at Titans (1 p.m.): Titans +2.5

Jaguars struggled to score with Trevor Lawrence, failing to reach 24 points in a game since October and averaging a putrid 11 points per game in the last three contests, and further struggles can be expected with Lawrence sidelined for the rest of the season. And their 29th-ranked scoring defense (allowing 28.3 points per game) will present opportunities for Tennessee’s offense to keep progressing. 

Titans defense has played well enough to win a lot of games, performing at a high level in recent weeks, but it’s been a disappointing campaign due to their offensive ineptitude. Second-year quarterback Will Levis is starting to make better decisions, throwing seven touchdowns and only two interceptions over the last four games, and wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is enjoying a breakout season, averaging 18.3 yards per reception and catching at least one touchdown in eight of the last nine games. Look for the Titans to put it all together here.

Raiders at Buccaneers (1 p.m.): Buccaneers +3.5

Raiders failed to cover in three consecutive losses before nearly upsetting the Chiefs last week, but don’t be fooled by the improved performance. Las Vegas often plays their divisional rival tough, winning at Kansas City last year, before reverting to form. In 2023, the Raiders were shut out 3-0 by Minnesota after their first meeting with Kansas City. And after upsetting the eventual Super Bowl champions late in the season, Las Vegas promptly lost the following week against Indianapolis as a favorite.

After a lopsided win at the Giants, the Buccaneers showed up flat at Carolina last week but found a way to win, rallying to tie the game in the final seconds and prevailing in overtime, and Tampa now controls their own destiny in the NFC South, tied with Atlanta for the lead at 6-6. They’ve gotten healthier in recent weeks, and the high-scoring Buccaneers (fifth-best scoring offense at 27.9 points per game) will have too much firepower for the Raiders.
 

Seahawks at Cardinals (4:05 p.m.): Cardinals +3.5

Seahawks banged up and after edging by 49ers, Cardinals, and Jets the last three weeks, they’re ripe for a letdown in the second consecutive road game. Seattle has played only once at home since early November, this game will be the third road trip in the last four weeks, and it’s a revenge setting for the Cardinals, who have won their last three home games and will be motivated after a sluggish road performance at Seattle two weeks ago.

Arizona’s defense has been stellar, holding three of the last five opponents to 16 points or less, and the Cardinals own the second-best scoring defense in home games, allowing only 17 points per game. The Seahawks have been winning despite turnovers, with seven giveaways over the last four games and ranking toward the bottom of the league with a -0.5 turnover margin per game, and their mistakes will be impossible to overcome here.
 

Bills at Rams (4:25 p.m.): Rams +9.5

Bills hit the road after a pair of big home wins, defeating Kansas City and San Francisco, and this is a look-ahead spot with an enormous game at Detroit next week. And Buffalo hasn’t been as dominant away from home, sustaining both losses and outscoring their last five road opponents by a combined 114-108 margin. 

The Rams have been inconsistent at times posting a 6-6 record, but they’ve held their own against good teams and have a track record of playing their best football down the stretch when their playoff hopes are in jeopardy, winning six of their last seven regular season games in 2023, the lone setback being a six-point loss at Baltimore. They outscored the Saints 21-8 in the second half to win last week, and Los Angeles will carry their momentum forward with a competitive performance at home.
