Writer’s NFL 1st Half Picks for the Week 14 Matchups

Green Bay – Jordan Love at Detroit – Jared Goff

Thursday, December 5th, 2024

Love has been decent in recent weeks.

Most of Love’s effectiveness has bounced off the excellent play of running back Josh Jacobs.

But on Thursday Night Football, the Packers face the best team in the NFL.

The Lions are on cruise control.

Jared Goff is hooking up with Amon-Ra St. Brown in every game.

The running back tandem of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery is punishing defenses.

Goff on his field should outplay Love.

NFL Week 14 1st Half Pick: Jared Goff

NYJ – Aaron Rodgers at Miami – Tua Tagovailoa

Sunday, December 8th, 2024

Rodgers can get it done.

However, the Jets remain a lousy franchise, one that can do nothing right even though the team is loaded with talented skill players.

So Rodgers has no real chance to outplay Tua.

This is especially true given the fact that Miami boasts a strong defense.

Tagovailoa is going to shred a Jets’ D that appears to have given up some knowing the playoffs are out of reach.

NFL Week 14 1st Half Pick: Tua Tagovailoa

Atlanta – Kirk Cousins at Minnesota – Sam Darnold

Sunday, December 8th, 2024

Two factors will lead to Sam Darnold outplaying Kirk Cousins.

The first is that the game takes place in Minnesota.

The Vikings are difficult to deal with in their stadium in Minnesota.

Cousins doesn’t always show his best on the road.

Although Kirk has thrown many times in Minnesota, this situation is different.

Second, Brian Flores will have something special for Cousins to deal with.

Cousins knows Flores’ defense, yes, but Flores also knows Kirk’s tendencies.

Give Darnold the QB victory.

NFL Week 14 1st Half Pick: Sam Darnold

Seattle – Geno Smith at Arizona – Kyler Murray

Sunday, December 8th, 2024

Here’s another quarterback matchup in NFL Week 14 that depends on home field advantage.

Kyler is as good as it gets on his home turf.

Geno Smith has as much heart as any starting quarterback in the NFL.

But he faces a tall task battling a decent AZ defense in the desert.

Murray gets it done.

NFL Week 14 QB Pick: Kyler Murray

Buffalo – Josh Allen at LAR – Matthew Stafford

Sunday, December 8th, 2024

Allen versus Stafford should be a dynamite matchup. But it won’t.

For sure, Staff will find a way to get the ball to Cooper Kupp and Puka Nucua.

However, the Bills’ defense projects to keep Staff and his targets contained.

Allen is Allen, meaning Josh will do whatever it takes to beat the Rams.

Ah, but here’s the thing.

The Rams are awful at stopping the rush.

So although Stafford doesn’t have his usual stats packed game, he beats Allen on the stats sheet because Josh hands the ball off to James Cook all day.

NFL Week 14 1st Half Pick: Matthew Stafford

LAC – Justin Herbert at Kansas City – Patrick Mahomes

Sunday, December 8th, 2024

Herbert versus Mahomes should be a close matchup.

Herbert has the skills to hang 300 yards and 3 TDs every game onto the opposing defense.

In NFL Week 14 though, the Bolts’ QB won’t.

The reason is because Mahomes plays with a fantastic defense.

The Magic One wins the battle.

NFL Week 14 QB Pick: Patrick Mahomes

How to Bet on the Quarterbacks Odds?

Home-field advantage plays a significant role in shaping NFL First Half Lines. When betting on NFL Week 14 first half lines, it’s essential to consider how teams perform in front of their home crowd. Home teams often have a psychological and physical edge, starting strong with the support of their fans, and are more likely to score early in the game. This momentum can influence the NFL first half odds, as bookmakers tend to adjust the lines based on historical trends and current season data.

Home teams usually come out with more energy, which can lead to faster scoring in the first half. In particular, strong offenses and dominant defensive units tend to thrive in the early stages of games at home. As a result, bettors should keep a close eye on NFL first half lines for home teams that have shown consistent first-half performance, especially during NFL Week 14 betting.

Additionally, coaches who emphasize early-game performance, as opposed to making adjustments after halftime, can also impact NFL first half betting odds. This is something to watch when evaluating the NFL first half lines for games featuring home teams in Week 14.
