NFL Week 14 Line Movement Breakdown
The goal of this article is to look at the key line moves for the week and what they mean in terms of betting. Key numbers in the NFL to watch for are 3, 7, 6, 14, and 10. When a line crosses through one of these, it is a significant move that warrants attention.
In Week 13, we saw some significant quarterback injuries which will impact line movement. With the trade deadline passed, teams will have to work the waiver wire or taxi squads for replacements. The highest point spread of the year is this week with the Cowboys -17 against the Texans. Only three games have a total of 48 points or higher continuing the trend of lower scores this season.

NFL Week 14 Line Movement: Miami Dolphins 
at Los Angeles Chargers 
The opening line in Week One was Chargers -5.5, it went to Dolphins -1.0 last Sunday and has moved to Dolphins -3.0 for a total of an 8.5 line move. The Dolphins have exceeded expectations and the Chargers have not lived up to them which has caused the line movement. The line has moved more because of the Dolphins success, but there is also an injury concern with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa who has an ankle issue. He is expected to start, but he could nurse the ankle this week and be held out of practice.
The Dolphins are 8-4 and the Chargers are 6-6 so this line feels like it has moved too much in favor of the Dolphins for me. The Chargers look like an attractive home dog this week.

NFL Week 14 Line Movement: Los Angeles Raiders at Los Angeles Rams
As we get later in the season, we are seeing larger line moves from the opening line to current and this game is one of them. This game has a whopping 10-point line move as it was Rams -4.0 and has moved to Raiders -6.0. There is no way anyone would have predicted this move even a few weeks ago as the Raiders were just about left for dead.
But with no Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp on the Rams side and the Raiders playing much better we get the double-digit line move. Much like the Dolphins/Chargers game, this does feel like an overreaction despite all of the issues on the Rams side. Having the Raiders laying almost a touchdown on the road is scary, and the Rams did play the Seahawks tough on Sunday.

NFL Week 14 Line Movement: Houston Texans 
at Dallas Cowboys 
This line opened Cowboys -8.0 when they had backup quarterback Cooper Rush and has moved a whopping nine points to Cowboys -17.0. It was -14.0, and moved a full field goal after the Cowboys put up 54 points against the Colts on Sunday night football. The Texans are the worst team in football and they allowed a punt return, fumble return, and interception return against the Browns. The only issue in this game is whether or not the Cowboys will be motivated to score enough to cover the huge number.
NFL Week 14 Line Movement: Kansas City Chiefs 
at Denver Broncos 
We have several large divisional road favorites this week and finish with this game. This line opened as pick'em and landed on Chiefs -6.5 last Sunday. It is now Chiefs -9.0 after peaking at -9.5. The Broncos are 3-9 having lost four in a row and with one of the worst offenses in NFL history averaging a putrid 13.8 points per game. But they do have a formidable defense that ranks 2nd in points allowed and 3rd in total yards allowed so a lower-scoring game is usually the case with them. This game could easily end up 24-13 Chiefs and they would still cover the huge number on the road.
