NFL Week 14 picks: Why you should consider Seahawks, Saints and Chargers on Sunday
Lorenzo Reyes is back with his three best bets ahead of Sunday’s games.
The Detroit Lions already wrapped up their postseason berth this week, joining the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills as firmly entrenched in the NFL playoff picture. Which teams could follow their lead in Week 14?
