We have quite a busy day ahead of us here at VSiN.
The College Football Playoff bracket will be revealed at Noon ET. As the clock struck midnight in Las Vegas, Notre Dame was -1000 at DraftKings to make the 12-team CFP field, followed by Alabama at -280, Miami at +145 and Duke at +1800.
That will happen in the midst of previewing the NFL Week 14 betting menu with three games matching division leaders — Steelers-Ravens, Colts-Jaguars and Bears-Packers. Plus there are two games featuring teams that have to win to keep their playoff hopes alive — the Chiefs (vs. Texans) and the Bengals (at Bills).
Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard will have all the late-breaking news and line moves on the VSiN Pro Football Tailgate Show (9-Noon ET) along with guests Dr. David Chao, Warren Sharp and John Hansen. Then Stormy Buonantony and Jonathan Von Tobel will juggle the CFP and NFL on the VSiN Countdown to Kickoff (Noon-1 ET).
Here are VSiN’s expert Best Bets on NFL Week 14:

Bucs top Survivor pick
As they are every week, the selections for the three Circa contests were revealed Saturday night on The Football Contest Show (9-10 ET):
>Circa Survivor: With 45 live entries remaining, the Bucs (who play the Saints) were the top selection with 28.
>Circa Million: The most popular pick was the Chiefs -3 vs. the Texans with 1,721 entries, followed by Commanders +2.5 (1,537), Jags +1.5 (1,469), Bears +6.5 (1,445) and Packers -6.5 (1,366). Of course, the Bears and Packers play each other, so that is an intriguing disagreement.
Check out our contest hub for complete consensus picks and individual selections.
