I feel smart for taking the San Francisco 49ers to best the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13, and taking the Los Angeles Rams to down the Cleveland Browns. Also, the Atlanta Falcons to cover against the struggling New York Jets was easy money. However, I felt robbed when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers couldn’t cover vs. the lowly Carolina Panthers, and then the Jacksonville Jaguars were somehow upset by Jake Browning and the Cincinnati Bengals. Obviously there’s a looming quarterback controversy in Cincy.
Week 14 looks just about as gross as any week I can recall. It’s the backup quarterback bowl! By my count, 12 teams could be starting different quarterbacks on Sunday than they started Week 1. At least Eagles-Cowboys should be awesome.
Here’s a look at what I’m thinking this week. As always, credit to the CBS Sports research team for making me sound smart.

Featured Game | Cincinnati Bengals vs. Indianapolis Colts
The Bengals are on a short week, but how could you not be impressed by their overtime victory over the Jaguars? Jake Browning walked into his first NFL road start, in prime time, and completed 32 of 37 passes for 354 yards and two touchdowns (one rushing). He led the Bengals to 491 yards of total offense!
There’s no doubt the Colts have impressed as of late, as they are on their first four-game win streak since the Andrew Luck days. But this is the second road game in as many weeks for Indy. I want to ride this…
