NFL Week 14 Monday Betting Tips
Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers
5am (AEDT)
The Steelers have been on fire of late and will look to continue their hot run of form as they square off against the Browns at home from 5am. Pittsburgh have won six of their last seven games, covering the spread in all six of those wins in the process. Their defence is ranked No.7 in the league, allowing just 18.7 points per game, but they did allow 38 points to Joe Burrows and the Bengals although still managing to claim a six point win.
The Browns are 3-9 on the season but have at least been an interesting team to watch over the last few weeks with Jameis Winston at the helm. They managed to put up 32 points in the loss to the Broncos last week on the back of a strong game from the quarterback, who put up 497 yards on a ridiculous 58 passing attempts including four touchdowns and three interceptions.
I like the look of the overs here. The Browns have shown no fear in airing the ball out, particularly if they go down early in the game, resulting in some high scoring affairs over the last month. In their last five games, the average total score has been 51.0 points.

Buffalo Bills at Los Angeles Rams
8.25am (AEDT)
The Bills are one of the hotter teams in the league at the moment, having won their last seven straight games, covering the spread in six of them. They have the No.2 rated offence in the league, putting gup 29.6 points per game this season and they smashed the 49ers last week at home by a margin of 25 points.
The Rams have had an extremely inconsistent season to date, currently sitting in third place in the super competitive NFC West division with a 6-6 record. They have alternated wins and losses over their last five straight games, most recently claiming a seven-point win over the Saints on the road.
I expected this line to open at a higher number than 3.5, given the Bills have won their last seven games by an average margin of 12.1 points. Back them to put up anther big score here and cover the spread once again.

Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs
12.20pm (AEDT)
The Chiefs have flown under the radar for the large part this season. They have by no means set the world alight, but they find themselves atop the AFC West division with an 11-1 record, despite having failed to cover the spread in their last six straight games. Defence has predominantly been the catalyst for the Chiefs this year, ranking 8th in the league allowing just 19.6 points per game.
Speaking of great defences, the Chargers have boasted the best in the league this season, allowing 15.7, almost three full points lower than the next best. They are 8-4 on the season and a win here would almost lock up a wildcard place given the AFC 2nd placed teams are largely struggling throughout the four divisions. They have won five of their last six games and are coming off a solid 17-13 win over the Falcons last week.
Have to like the look of the unders here. The Chargers have been as stingy as it gets this season and throughout their 12 games, the unders are 8-4. When the two teams faced off earlier in the season, the Chiefs ran out 17-10 winners for a 27 point total.
