Early breakdown of NFL Week 14 odds

Every Sunday night, oddsmakers drop the upcoming week’s NFL betting lines, and if you are wondering if the opening spreads look accurate, we’ve got you covered.

Each week, FOX Sports Betting Analysts Geoff Schwartz, Sam Panayotovich and Jason McIntyre will break down the opening numbers in this space and point out if they think the line is too low, too high or just right.

So, without further ado, let’s jump into their analysis for Week 14, including what they think about San Francisco — the new Super Bowl favorite — taking on the Seattle Seahawks at home on FOX Sports and the FOX Sports App.

Patriots @ Steelers (-6)

Geoff Schwartz: Too high

Yes, New England stinks and lost their third game allowing 10 points or fewer this season. 

But the Steelers just got dominated by the Arizona Cardinals as 6.5-point favorites and are historically awful as big favorites under Tomlin.

Lions (-3.5) @ Bears

Sam Panayotovich: Too high 

The Bears were the better football team in the last meeting for 57 minutes. Justin Fields is a matchup nightmare for Detroit’s overrated defense. 

Take the points.

Texans (-6) @ Jets

Geoff Schwartz: Just right

The Texans have a legitimate playoff team that battles each week with C.J. Stroud at quarterback. 

The Jets are putrid. To be fair, their defense is still playing well, but the offense can’t score at all. 

This number isn’t higher because the Texans have played worse on the road and haven’t seen an away stadium in a month.

Jay Glazer on Justin Fields’ future, Aaron Rodgers & Giants moving off of Daniel Jones?

Buccaneers @ Falcons (-2.5)

Sam Panayotovich: Just right 

Atlanta is a maddening team this year. The Falcons have four losses by one score and are 2-6 against the spread as a favorite. 

I don’t want to bet the Bucs here, either. Pass. 

Jaguars (-3) @ Browns

Geoff Schwartz: Just right 

Jacksonville will be on a short week after a Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. 

The Browns looked far more competent…
