In an effort to keep things rolling, here are my 10 best plays for this Sunday’s games as part of the lucky NFL week 13 schedule.
Cleveland Browns at Tennessee Titans Prediction
Best Bet: Titans -5.5
The Browns are 8-3 straight-up but they have won more than a few games with smoke and mirrors at 4-7 against the spread. Tennessee is playing at home coming off its best effort of the year in a road win against Indianapolis.
Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears Prediction
Best Bet: Chicago -3
Detroit just fired its head coach after getting dismantled by Houston on Thanksgiving. Chicago has not won a game SU since Oct. 18. I still see the Bears as the better of the two NFC North rivals in this Sunday’s NFL matchup.
Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans Prediction
Best Bet: OVER 52.5
The Colts are still playing for the AFC South title at 7-4 SU against a Houston defense that is allowing 27 points per game. The total has gone OVER in six of Indy’s last seven games and it is going OVER in this game as well.
Las Vegas Raiders at New York Jets Prediction
Best Bet: Las Vegas -7.5
The 0-11 SU Jets are the perfect team to face coming off a very bad loss. Las Vegas was embarrassed by Atlanta last Sunday in 43-6 loss as a 3½-point road favorite. Head coach Jon Gruden will have the Raiders ready to go this Sunday at home.
Bet on These NFL Week 13 Picks
New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons Prediction
Best Bet: UNDER 46
With Drew Brees still out of the Saints’ lineup, the total line is lower than expected in this NFC South tilt. I may be taking the bait with the UNDER on 46 points but the total has stayed UNDER in seven of the last 10 games between the two.
Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals Prediction
Best Bet: Arizona +3
The Rams got tripped up by San Francisco last Sunday as five-point favorites at home. Arizona has dropped three of its last four games SU while going 0-4 ATS. Someone has to win this NFC West tilt so I will take the home team getting points.
New York Giants at Seattle Seahawks Prediction
Best Bet: Seahawks -10
After losing their first five games, the Giants’ current three-game winning streak has them tied for first in the NFC East. This Sunday’s matchup is a harsh case of reality for New York with quarterback Daniel Jones out of the lineup.

New England Patriots at Los Angeles Chargers Prediction
Best Bet: New England PK
The Patriots are showing some signs of life with three SU wins in their last four games. It has not always been pretty but they still have a head coach that knows how to win games. The Chargers have one SU win in their last five games (0-5 ATS).
Philadelphia Eagles at Green Bay Packers Prediction
Best Bet: Green Bay -9
As bad as Philly has looked in its last three games, this spread could move to 14 points and I would still lean this way. The Packers are playing for the top seed in the NFC at 8-3 SU (7-4 ATS) so they will not look past this game.
Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs Prediction
Best Bet: UNDER 50.5
Denver did not have a quarterback in last Sunday’s lopsided loss to New Orleans. Even if one returns this week, the Broncos will not score enough points to take this game OVER. Look for Kansas City to win a game with its defense in this AFC West clash.
