Week 13 NFL Picks: Best Bets & Expert Parlays

Week 13 of the NFL season has more games in Prime Time than any other week of the season with three games on Thanksgiving, one on Black Friday, a slate of games on Sunday and then the Monday Night Football game on ESPN. Two of the biggest games are on Thanksgiving with Green Bay at Detroit on FOX and Kansas City at Dallas on CBS. Prime Video doesn’t have a Thursday game this week but they do have a Black Friday game with the Chicago Bears at the Philadelphia Eagles. The Sunday Night Football game on NBC has the Denver Broncos at the Washington Commanders and Week 13 concludes on Monday night with the New York Giants at the New England Patriots on ESPN.

NFL Week 13 Best Bets

It has been quite a roll this season with the picks and it was another winning week last week, as I went 3-1 against the NFL betting pointspread with the predictions, as the Texans won outright, while the Giants and Titans covered the spread. The lone loss was Carolina losing to the 49ers. As a reminder, when it comes to NFL best bets each week you should know that I go against the grain with almost all of my picks. If the public does well, then I will probably struggle, but if the public loses, then I will probably have a good week. It has been going so well this season that I am getting a little nervous, but let’s hope the winning streak continues. Let’s look at Week 13 NFL predictions.

New Orleans Saints +6 at Miami Dolphins – The public wants nothing to do with the Saints, but I am not sure why they are on the Dolphins who have been a massive disappointment this season. I will go against the public and take the Saints.
Green Bay Packers +2.5 at Detroit Lions – I have no idea why the public is getting involved with this game, but they are going against the Packers and taking the Lions. Detroit has not proven to be trustworthy this season so I go against the public and take Green Bay.
Las Vegas Raiders +10 at Los Angeles Chargers – The public doesn’t like the Raiders at all but we have seen time and time again that the Chargers are not a trustworthy favorite. I go against the public and take the Raiders.
Arizona Cardinals +3 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers – I am a little surprised that the public is taking the Bucs this week, as Tampa is simply not playing well. I go against the public and take Arizona.
Washington Commanders +6.5 vs. Denver Broncos – I know it is a lost season for Washington and the public is going against them, but Denver isn’t always a reliable favorite. I will go against the public and take the Commanders.
New York Jets +2 vs. Atlanta Falcons – The public is on Atlanta and I have no idea why. I guess they are simply going against the Jets. This is a game to hide from, but the public is on Atlanta, so I take the Jets.

NFL Week 13 Parlays

The parlays are really just a bonus section and if they come through it is just some extra money. Both of last week’s parlays lost as they each went 1-1. Let’s look at the NFL Week 13 parlays.

Chiefs-Cowboys over 52.5 and 49ers-Browns under 38 – I’ll just take the highest total over with the Chiefs and Cowboys and the lowest total of the 49ers and Browns under.

Rams-Panthers Under 44 and Saints-Dolphins under 41.5 – I’ll take a couple of unders in this parlay and take the Rams and Carolina under and the Saints and Dolphins under.
