Another divisional matchup out West features the Chiefs as 9.5-point favorites over the Raiders. Can K.C. push its winning streak to six while also covering?

Now, it has turned its attention to the latest Week 14 NFL odds and locked in picks for every NFL matchup. Head here to see every pick.

Top Week 14 NFL predictions

One of the model's strongest Week 14 NFL picks is that the Washington Football Team (+5) covers the spread against the Cowboys at home. Washington's four-game winning streak is the longest in the NFC, as the team has recaptured the defensive form it flashed last season, when it finished among the top four in both points allowed and yards allowed. The WFT is giving up just 17.5 points over its last four and has kept three of its four opponents under 300 total yards on offense.

After starting the year 1-7 against the spread, Washington has covered in its last four games. The team is getting stronger with the playoffs approaching as it recently welcomed back wide receiver Curtis Samuel, who was the team's prized free agent addition. Washington already has a top-10 running game, so having an additional playmaker in the passing game, coupled with the improved defense, makes it a complete team.

Dallas has a bottom 10 defense in terms of rushing yards per attempt allowed, and the model foresees Washington's ground game imposing its will against the Cowboys. It has the WFT averaging over 4.5 yards per carry and reaching nearly 120 rushing yards, which allows the team to control the ball and keep Dallas' explosive offense off the field. SportsLine's model has Washington only losing by two points, covering the five-point spread in well over 50 percent of simulations.

Another one of its Week 14 NFL predictions: The Saints (-6) cover against the Jets on the road. New Orleans is 3-2 against the spread over its last five road games, while New York has lost three straight against the number at home. The Jets are 2-6 against the spread when rookie Zach Wilson starts at quarterback.

The Saints have lost five straight and failed to cover in three straight, but the Jets are just the opponent to help get them back on track. With Taysom Hill under center, New Orleans has averaged over 170 rushing yards in five career starts. Meanwhile, the Jets just gave up nearly 200 yards on the ground to the Eagles. New York has allowed the third-most rushing yards and most rushing TDs.

The model has three different Saints rushing for at least 37 yards, while the projections don't have one Jets player topping that mark. That should allow New Orleans to breeze to a victory, as the model has the Saints winning by nine points. The Saints (-6) cover well over 50 percent of the time, and the model also has the Under (43.5) hitting in almost 60 percent of projections.

The model has also made the call on who wins and covers in every other game on the Week 14 NFL schedule, and it's calling for a Super Bowl contender to go down hard. You can only get every pick for every game at SportsLine.
