12 weeks on NFL action are in the books, and Vegas just released<\/a> their NFL Week 13 spreads and over\/unders. Let\u2019s take a dive into each matchup, break down the games, and decide which side to bet on.<\/p>\n

NFL Week 13 Spreads, Betting Lines, Game Picks, Over\/Unders<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions (-1)<\/h3>\n

Mitchell Trubisky<\/a><\/strong> had his best game in a long time, but that\u2019s not really saying much. The former second overall pick had a relatively ok game in Week 12, completing 61% of his passes for 278 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions while running in another score. Trubisky\u2019s short-term benching appears to have paid off, as Trubisky can be not terrible against bad defenses. Assuming that Matthew Stafford<\/a><\/strong> doesn\u2019t play in this one, this should be a low-scoring affair. Jeff Driskel<\/a><\/strong> is nobody\u2019s idea of an ideal starting quarterback, and Chicago\u2019s defense should limit Detroit\u2019s offensive output.<\/p>\n

Pick: Bears win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 41 [Pick: Under]<\/p>\n

Buffalo Bills at Dallas Cowboys (-7)<\/h3>\n

The Dallas Cowboys couldn\u2019t get anything going on offense last week, but it\u2019s easy to call that game an outlier. The Cowboys went on the road against the best team in the AFC and had to play in a monsoon. None of those things will be the case in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Dak Prescott<\/a><\/strong> should return to the MVP discussion and Ezekiel Elliott<\/a><\/strong> should run wild against a deceptively weak Buffalo Bills run defense. Josh Allen<\/a><\/strong> doesn\u2019t have the tools to keep up with the Cowboys, especially going on the road.<\/p>\n

Pick: Cowboys win, cover spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 45 [Pick: Under]<\/p>\n

New Orleans Saints (-7) at Atlanta Falcons<\/h3>\n

The Atlanta Falcons held the New Orleans Saints in check the last time these two teams met, but that was probably a one-week fluke. By and large, Atlanta\u2019s defense has been atrocious while the New Orleans offense has been one of the best with Drew Brees<\/a><\/strong> under center. Matt Ryan<\/a><\/strong> is going to keep this one close, but he ultimately won\u2019t be able to singlehandedly drag his team to victory against one the NFC\u2019s elite units.<\/p>\n

Pick: Saints win, don\u2019t cover spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 48.5 [Pick: Over]<\/p>\n

Cleveland Browns (-1.5) at Pittsburgh Steelers<\/h3>\n

After a terrible start to the season, Baker Mayfield<\/a><\/strong> is back to looking like one of the more promising young quarterbacks in the league. Over the past three weeks, the former first-overall pick has completed 64.4% of his passes for 758 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception. Odell Beckham<\/a><\/strong> and Jarvis Landry<\/a><\/strong> are finally playing up to their potential as Cleveland\u2019s offense starts to round into shape. The same cannot be said for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as they recently benched Mason Rudolph<\/a><\/strong> for Devlin Hodges<\/a><\/strong>. Neither quarterback looked great this season, and Cleveland defense should hold this unit in check. Pittsburgh\u2019s defense can make this close, but not so close that you can bet on a 1.5-point spread.<\/p>\n

Pick: Browns win, cover spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 40.5 [Pick: Over]<\/p>\n

New York Jets (-3.5) at Cincinnati Bengals<\/h3>\n

This is insulting to the New York Jets. While their overall record may not be great, the New York Jets have been a solid team ever since Sam Darnold<\/a><\/strong> hit his stride a few weeks ago. While they probably won\u2019t replicate their 34-3 beatdown of the Oakland Raiders, they should blow the Bengals out of the water. The Cincinnati Bengals are easily the worst team in the league and aren\u2019t capable of putting up a fight with Ryan Finley<\/a><\/strong> under center. Look for the Jets to win this one comfortably.<\/p>\n

Pick: Jets win, cover spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 41 [Pick: Under]<\/p>\n

Philadelphia Eagles (-7.5) at Miami Dolphins<\/h3>\n

The Philadelphia Eagles are probably the biggest disappointment in the NFL. Once heralded as Super Bowl favorites, Carson Wentz<\/a><\/strong> and company just haven\u2019t looked right all year. They\u2019re easily a better team than the Miami Dolphins, but the Dolphins have managed to put up some good efforts over the past few weeks. Still, the talent disparity between these two teams is too great, and Philadelphia should come away with a victory, but don\u2019t be surprised if Miami makes it interesting.<\/p>\n

Pick: Eagles win, don\u2019t cover spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 45.5 [Pick: Under]<\/p>\n

San Francisco 49ers at Baltimore Ravens (-5)<\/h3>\n

This is the best game of the week. Two of the three best teams in football face off in what should an action-packed thriller. The San Francisco 49ers have the best defense in the league, but it\u2019s hard to imagine any unit stopping Lamar Jackson<\/a><\/strong>. Jackson\u2019s skill set is so unique that he easily ran over the New England Patriots, and he should be able to do the same to the 49ers. Jimmy Garoppolo<\/a><\/strong> hasn\u2019t been great this season, but he\u2019s shown the ability to move the ball through the air when he needs to. This one\u2019s going to go down to the wire, but home field advantage states the Baltimore Ravens will win this one.<\/p>\n

Pick: Ravens win, cover spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 46 [Pick: Over]<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Jacksonville Jaguars (-2.5)<\/h3>\n

Nick Foles<\/a><\/strong> is not living up to expectations in Jacksonville. While the one-time Super Bowl MVP had a decent stat line in Week 12, most of those numbers were accumulated in garbage time. The fact of the matter is that this team simply hasn\u2019t been the same since trading away Jalen Ramsey<\/a><\/strong> and Nick Foles is too volatile to trust on a weekly basis. Jameis Winston<\/a><\/strong> is anything but a known commodity at quarterback, but I trust him more than Foles in this matchup.<\/p>\n

Pick: Buccaneers win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 49.5 [Pick: Over]<\/p>\n

Washington Redskins at Carolina Panthers (-9.5)<\/h3>\n

Kyle Allen<\/a><\/strong> probably isn\u2019t the future of the Carolina Panthers, but he\u2019s an above-average backup capable of beating bad defenses. The Washington Redskins have a terrible defense, complemented by a terrible everything else. Despite winning last week, it\u2019s hard to trust Dwayne Haskins<\/a><\/strong> and company to do much of anything on offense, or the defense to stop Christian McCaffrey<\/a><\/strong> and company. The only hope for covering the spread is that Bill Callahan<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s run-first philosophy runs out the clock before the Panthers have a chance to take an insurmountable lead.<\/p>\n

Pick: Panthers win, cover spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 41 [Pick: Under]<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Rams (-3.5) at Arizona Cardinals<\/h3>\n

The Los Angeles Rams took a major step back in 2019, while the Arizona Cardinals appear to be on the rise. Arizona\u2019s defense is still a work-in-progress, but the offense looks great under Kliff Kingsbury<\/a><\/strong> and Kyler Murray<\/a><\/strong>. Murray should be able to move the ball at will against this unit while Jared Goff<\/a><\/strong> and company continue their season-long struggles. After nearly beating the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago, the Cardinals are finally going to come out on top against a division foe.<\/p>\n

Pick: Cardinals win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 47 [Pick: Over]<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Chargers at Denver Broncos (-1)<\/h3>\n

Philip Rivers<\/a><\/strong> might not be an elite quarterback anymore, but this spread is surprising. The Chargers still have a solid defense, reliable running game, and talent at the wide receiver position. Even if Rivers can\u2019t play like his 2017 self, he\u2019s still considerably better than Brandon Allen<\/a><\/strong>. The Chargers are the better all-around team and have the better quarterback. Home field advantage shouldn\u2019t be enough to make the Broncos favorites in this one.<\/p>\n

Pick: Chargers win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 38.5 [Pick: Over]<\/p>\n

New England Patriots (-4) at Houston Texans<\/h3>\n

This game should be a blast. The New England Patriots<\/a> are their elite defense face off against Deshaun Watson<\/a><\/strong>, old friend Bill O\u2019Brien<\/strong>, and the Houston Texans. Watson\u2019s having a great season in his own right, but he can be slowed by the right defense. Bill O\u2019Brien has yet to beat New England during his time with the Texans, and Tom Brady<\/a><\/strong> is playing better with Isaiah Wynn<\/a><\/strong> back in the lineup. Even though they have to travel south, the Patriots should still come out on top.<\/p>\n

Pick: Patriots win, cover spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 44.5 [Pick: Under]<\/p>\n

Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks (-3)<\/h3>\n

The battle of the best wild card teams in the league should be a fantastic showdown. After a rough September, Kirk Cousins<\/a><\/strong> has managed to sustain an elite level of play for the vast majority of the season. However, he\u2019s facing off against Russell Wilson<\/a><\/strong>, who\u2019s having an elite season in his own right. If these two teams played each other 100 times, each team would probably win 50. However, if forced to pick a winner, I\u2019m going with home field advantage and the better quarterback.<\/p>\n

Pick: Seahawks win, don\u2019t cover spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over\/Under: 49 [Pick: Over]<\/p>\n
