Let’s face it: Everyone wants to see a Detroit Lions vs. Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl. Okay, maybe that’s something not everyone wants to see, but a lot of people would love to see that happen. If it did happen, it would mark the Chiefs’ third consecutive trip to the Big Game. It would make the Lions’ first.
To get a Lions vs. Chiefs Super Bowl, they have to keep winning, which is something that both teams have been doing. Both teams are 11-1 going into their NFL Week 14 games, but even with that good record, they really need to win.
Both teams don’t have “easy” games in NFL Week 14, either. Not that they have the most difficult opponents, but they have some challenges.
NFL Week 14 Predictions
Lions vs. Packers
This one should go to the Lions, but with all the injuries on their squad, who knows. It’s in Detroit, which should help the Lions. I’m going with a 24-21 win over the Packers.
Over at CBS Sports, Pete Prisco calls it Lions 35, Packers 33. It doesn’t get much closer than that.
“This is an enormous game for the NFC playoffs and the division,” he writes. “The Lions have a lot of important players out on defense, which could help the Packers. But the Lions have a dominant offense that will score here as they run it against the Packers front. I think Jordan Love will keep the Packers in it. It’s close.”
Chiefs vs. Chargers
Here’s another close game. The Chiefs have been finding ways to win very close games, but their luck could run out. If it does, I don’t think it will be this week. I think they can handle the Chargers, but it will be close. I’m calling a Chiefs 27, Chargers 21 final score.
Prisco actually also gives a Chiefs 27, Chargers 21 prediction.
“This is one of the best games of the week,” he writes. “The Chargers are playing consecutive road games against a team with added rest. Advantage to the Chiefs. The Chiefs have won a lot of close games and I think they will win another here as Patrick Mahomes gets the best of the Chargers defense.”
Seahawks vs. Cardinals
In the dismal NFC West, the Seahawks are currently leading, but the Cardinals could pass them with this game. I’m calling it for the Cardinals, who seem to be improving each week. Let’s say, Cardinals 21, Seahawks 17.
Prisco gives a Cardinals 23, Seahawks 16 prediction.
“Seattle beat the Cardinals two weeks ago to take hold of first place in the NFC West. But this game can get the Cardinals back in the race,” he stated. “They have been playing good defense, even in the loss to the Seahawks two weeks ago. I think that carries over here as they find a way to limit the Seattle offense. The Cardinals win it.”
Bills vs. Rams
The Bills are the only team that could really kick the Chiefs out of the Big Game, in my opinion. The Rams have been wishy-washy all season, so I’m calling this one for the Bills by a lot: Bills 27, Rams 14.
