Week 13 of the NFL season was not kind to the underdog. Only 1 team, the Cincinnati Bengals, won a game outright as the underdog. A total of 6 underdogs covered the spread in Week 13.
Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s NFL odds and lines, and tab the best NFL Week 14 underdog bets to cash in on among SportbookWire’s NFL expert picks and predictions.
As for my picks last week, they went 1-2. The Detroit Lions covered the half-point spread, but the Tennessee Titans did not and the Miami Dolphins did not win their game.
That brings my running total for the season to 18-21.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS +3.5 (-116) at San Francisco 49ers – 4:25 p.m. (FOX)
The 49ers have the league’s No. 1 defense going against the league’s No. 26 scoring offense, as the Bucs average only 18.1 points per game.
The 49ers allow the fewest points (15.8) and the fewest yards (283.9) per game but they will now have Brock Purdy starting at quarterback in place of Jimmy Garoppolo.
The 49ers are 9-29 with anyone other than Garoppolo starting since Kyler Shanahan became head coach.

New England Patriots at ARIZONA CARDINALS +2.5 (-112) – Monday 8:15 p.m. (ESPN)
The Patriots have not won a game when their opponent has scored 20 points or more. They have allowed 8.7 points per game in their wins and 29.0 points per game in their losses.
The Cardinals’ offense looked good in their Week 12 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. If that carries over, they should be able to hit that 20-point mark.
In 4 of the Pats’ losses, they have allowed more than 130 rushing yards. Cardinals RB James Conner had 125 himself in the Cardinals’ loss to the Chargers.
The Cardinals are 3-1 when they rush for at least 130 yards as a team.
