NFL Week 14 Upset Picks: Ravens, Rams Predicted to Grab Huge Division Wins

The BetSided team went a perfect 3-0 in our NFL upset picks last week, and we're looking to keep the momentum going in Week 14.

At 27-20-1 on the season, we're eyeing three different divisional matchups for some upset potential.

Here’s who we are backing in this week’s slate, with odds via WynnBET Sportsbook:

Los Angeles Rams (+120) at Arizona Cardinals

I'm ready to die on the hill that is the Los Angeles Rams. Despite suffering a few losses in a row and looking like a bad team at times, they're still second in the NFL in net yards per play at +1.1. That's significantly better than the Cardinals who rank eighth at +0.51.

The Cardinals also remain vulnerable on the ground. They're allowing teams to average 4.7 yards per rush against them, which ranks 30th in the NFL. The Rams have been averaging 4.4 yards per carry over their last three games, so they should be able to take advantage in that area.

I'll back the Rams to win this NFC West showdown. -- Iain MacMillan

After starting off 8-0 in his coaching career vs. the Cardinals, Rams head coach Sean McVay got a taste of his own medicine back in Week 4 in a 37-20 home loss. Leading receiver Cooper Kupp was held to just five catches for 64 yards in the game; by far his lowest output of the season. 

Despite Arizona’s dominance, the game has already started to move in the Rams’ favor, as Los Angeles is now a two-point road dog after opening at +3 on WynnBET.

This game is all about who wins the turnover battle. The Rams are 8-0 when they don’t turn it over, and 0-4 when they give it away. The Cardinals force the fifth-highest number of takeaways in the NFL, so expect a heavy dose of Darrell Henderson and Sony Michel in the run game, leading into play action opportunities for Stafford to find Cooper Kupp, Tyler Higbee, and perhaps even Odell Beckham Jr. downfield for big chunk plays.

It’s put up or shut up time for Sean McVay down the stretch of the season. With the sharps backing McVay to get it done, I’ll do the same and take L.A to win outright. -- Ben Heisler

Baltimore Ravens (+120) at Cleveland Browns

The last game between the Ravens and Browns was one of the weirdest games of the year. There were turnovers galore and the Ravens squeaked out a 16-10 win. Baltimore is being undervalued here because of its loss to Pittsburgh. 

Yes, the Ravens should’ve won that game, but their aggressive nature didn’t work out the way they thought it would. The Ravens are still a top 10 offense in yards per game, rushing yards per game and red zone touchdown scoring percentage.

While the Marlon Humphry loss is a big one, the Browns are a run-first team and Baltimore may be able to get away with not having him in the secondary. The Ravens can easily keep this game within a field goal and can win this outright. -- Donnavan Smoot

Atlanta Falcons (+115) at Carolina Panthers

I just can’t get behind this Panthers team that has been awful without Chrisitian McCaffrey this season.

Carolina has one of the worst offenses in the NFL (4.8 yards per play, 31st) and Cam Newton looked a lot worse in the team’s loss to the Miami Dolphins before the bye week. Joe Brady is gone, and I don’t see what the Panthers’ offensive identity is going to be in this game. 

Atlanta has been able to hang around with lesser competition, a big reason why it is 5-7, and I think it gets the better of a division rival in Week 14. -- Peter Dewey
