2024 NFL Week 14 officiating angles: Finding edges in Vikings-Falcons, Chargers-Chiefs and more
This column -- a collaboration with NFL officiating guru Joe Gibbs -- is 50-39-1 (plus 7.25 units) since its debut last season
Gibbs (not the Hall of Fame coach, the NFL referee expert who tweets @NFLrefstats1) teams with SportsLine to deliver three weekly bets. Gibbs dives into the NFL referee assignments the moment they are released each week, unearthing the most relevant betting angles.
Before you make any Week 14 NFL picks or NFL parlays, you need to see what Gibbs and SportsLine senior analyst Larry Hartstein have to say about the officiating crews' tendencies.
A former lead writer for Covers and The Linemakers, Hartstein combines a vast network of Vegas sources with an analytical approach he honed working for Pro Football Focus. Hartstein tied for 52nd place (out of 1,598 entries) in the 2022 Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest, going 53-34-3 ATS. His weekly Vegas contest selections form the basis of his NFL best bets column, which is 95-70-3 (57.6%, +17.24 units) since its inception in 2022.
We can tell you Hartstein and Gibbs are betting the Vikings -5.5 vs. Atlanta, which has one win against a winning team. Ref Alex Kemp drew the assignment: Favorites are 10-1 SU and 8-2-1 ATS in Kemp's games this season.
Atlanta's offense accounts for 60% of the team's penalties. Minnesota's defense ranks No. 1 at generating offensive holding penalties. Hartstein and Gibbs aren't expecting an efficient performance from the aging Kirk Cousins (zero TDs, six INTs in his last three games) despite the revenge narrative.
Hartstein and Gibbs also are sharing key officiating angles in Chargers-Chiefs and Jaguars-Titans. You need to see this key referee data before locking in your picks!
So what's the play for Chargers-Chiefs? And what other officiating edges can be found on the Week 14 slate? ... Join SportsLine right now to see Larry Hartstein's Week 14 NFL officiating trends, all from the column that went 37-23 last season!
