The narrative about the Cowboys’ [inability to beat a good team](https://www.betchicago.com/bills-cowboys-betting-line-thanksgiving-trends) held true Thanksgiving Day, as Dallas lost to the Bills 26-15 as a 6.5-point home favorite. Evidently, the "good team" characterization no longer fits the Bears, who are 3-point home underdogs for Thursday night’s clash against the Cowboys, per opening Week 14 betting lines. Chicago needed a late touchdown pass from Mitchell Trubisky to David Montgomery to [survive](https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2019/11/28/20986996/bears-lions-2019-live-score-updates-results-thanksgiving) on Thanksgiving against the Lions, who were [down to third-string quarterback David Blough](https://www.betchicago.com/bears-lions-point-spread-betting-thanksgiving). The Bears kicked off 5.5-point favorites and failed to cover the spread in the 24-20 straight-up road win. That was the Bears' third straight against-the-spread loss and seventh in their last eight games. At 3-9 ATS on the season, Chicago is at the very bottom of the NFL’s ATS standings. The Cowboys aren’t exactly rolling themselves, dropping three of their last four SU. They’re familiar with laying points on the road, as Thursday night will be the sixth time this season Dallas (6-6 SU, 7-5 ATS) is priced as an away favorite. They are 3-2 SU and ATS in these spots, with wins and covers over the Redskins, Giants and Lions, and losses at the Saints and Jets. While the Bears have been busting bankrolls ATS, they’ve been a solid UNDER play, as that bet has cashed in eight of 12 games. The total for Thursday night’s game between .500 teams has been down to 43.5 from a 44 opener. __Read at BetIndiana News__: [Betting market losing confidence in Colts](http://betindiananews.com/nfl-week-14-betting-lines-colts-bucs/) The Week 14 card is dotted with matchups between playoff contenders. Here are some highlights: • The Ravens are 5.5-point favorites at the Bills. During advanced wagering at the Westgate last week, Baltimore opened -7 and was bet down to -6.5. • The Saints are field-goal favorites (plus extra vig), as they welcome a 49ers team on its second straight long road trip. San Fran lost in Baltimore 20-17 on Sunday but cashed as 5.5-point dogs. • New England, coming off its second loss of the season – 28-22 in Houston on Sunday night – is laying between 3 and 3.5 as they welcome the Chiefs in their friendly Foxborough confines. Here are early point spreads and totals for entire Week 14 card, per consensus numbers on Monday morning. ## NFL Week 14 betting lines __Thursday, December 5__ Cowboys (-3, 43) at Bears __Sunday, December 8__ Ravens (-5.5, 43.5) at Bills Redskins at Packers (-13.5, 42.5) Broncos at Texans (-8, 41) 49ers at Saints (-3/-120, 45) Bengals at Browns (-8.5, 42.5) Panthers at Falcons (-2, 48) Lions at Vikings (-14, 42.5) Dolphins at Jets (-6, 44) Colts at Bucs (-3, 49.5) Chargers (3 even, 43) at Jaguars Chiefs at Patriots (-3/-120, 48.5) Steelers (-1.5, 43.5) at Cardinals Titans (-3, 47)at Raiders Seahawks (-2.5, 47) at Rams __Monday, December 9__ Giants at Eagles (-8.5, 47) __Bookmark us__: [NFL betting coverage](https://www.betchicago.com/nfl-betting)
