NFL Week 13 Betting Guide: Best Bets for Every Game

Week 13 betting strategies highlight key matchups and potential player performances amid ongoing NFL playoff races.

🕒 Last Updated: 2025-11-26 6:06pm EST

Week 12 delivered chaos—dramatic comebacks, wild finishes, and teams fighting for playoff survival. The Chiefs and Cowboys scraped out crucial victories ahead of their Thanksgiving showdown, while the Eagles left observers scratching their heads.

Here's where the money is in Week 13.

PACKERS @ LIONS

Best Bet: Jameson Williams Over 50.5 receiving yards

Williams drew a suspiciously quiet goose egg against the Giants in overtime last Sunday—zero catches on three targets. But the prior three games tell a different story: 66, 88, and 119 yards respectively. Expect Detroit to emphasize getting the ball to their star receiver early and often.

CHIEFS @ COWBOYS

Best Bet: Cowboys +3.5

Dallas has suddenly assembled a respectable defense to complement one of the league's best offenses. Kansas City faces a nightmare scenario: short-week turnaround, road game, coming off an overtime battle with Indianapolis. The revamped Cowboys should keep this tight.

BENGALS @ RAVENS

Best Bet: Lamar Jackson Under 26.5 rushing yards

Nearly a month into his return from injury, the two-time MVP still doesn't look like himself. Jackson's rushing totals since coming back: 10, 11, 14, and 36 yards. That 36-yard game against Minnesota appeared to re-aggravate the injury—he's missed practice in every week since. Until he proves otherwise, bet against the run.

BEARS @ EAGLES

Best Bet: Caleb Williams Over 0.5 interceptions

The second-year quarterback has protected the ball well, but now he's headed to a hostile environment against Philadelphia's elite defense. As a 7-point underdog, Williams will chase points from behind, meaning volume passing. The Eagles will capitalize Friday afternoon.

TEXANS @ COLTS

Best Bet: Texans +4.5

Indianapolis has been a pleasant surprise, but they've lost two of their last three—with their lone win coming in overtime against Atlanta. Houston is surging and may get C.J. Stroud back under center. Expect a tight contest.

49ERS @ BROWNS

Best Bet: Under 36.5 combined points

Cleveland's defense dominates at home. The Browns will once again start rookie Shedeur Sanders at quarterback. San Francisco arrives with Brock Purdy coming off a three-turnover nightmare against Carolina. This is a field-position slugfest where San Francisco leans on the ground game. Scoring will be scarce.

RAMS @ PANTHERS

Best Bet: Bryce Young Under 194.5 passing yards

Young managed just 169 passing yards in Monday night's loss to a vulnerable 49ers defense. Now he faces a significantly better defense. Another underwhelming performance is coming.

JAGUARS @ TITANS

Best Bet: Titans +6.5

Tennessee has just one win on the season, but they've shown improvement lately and covered in three straight games. Division matchups tend to tighten up. Taking the home underdog against Jacksonville—an 8-4 team that's still hard to trust.

SAINTS @ DOLPHINS

Best Bet: Dolphins first-quarter moneyline

Miami has been choosing to receive when winning the coin toss. There's a strong chance they'll start with the ball here. Early offensive advantage should translate to an early lead.

CARDINALS @ BUCCANEERS

Best Bet: Under 43.5 combined points

Baker Mayfield is questionable, and even if he plays, he won't be fully healthy. Both coaches will lean on defense. Expect a defensive slugfest in the 23-20 range.

FALCONS @ JETS

Best Bet: Jets +2.5

New York has recovered just 18% of fumbles this year and hasn't recorded a single interception all season—that's unsustainable. The Jets have played well recently and deserve respect at home with points.

VIKINGS @ SEAHAWKS

Best Bet: Vikings team total Under 14.5

Rookie Max Brosmer makes his first NFL start in a hostile Seattle environment against one of the league's best defenses. Minnesota's struggling offense won't accomplish much in this nightmare scenario.

RAIDERS @ CHARGERS

Best Bet: Chargers team total Under 26.5

Los Angeles needed their bye week desperately after managing multiple major injuries. Despite the rest, their offense is decimated. The offensive line is a shell of its healthy self. They should win, but scoring against even the lowly Raiders will be a chore.

BILLS @ STEELERS

Best Bet: Josh Allen Under 28.5 rushing yards

Josh Allen took a beating from Houston's defense last Thursday—eight sacks and hard shots that had doctors examining his left shoulder. He'll play Sunday, but don't expect him running more than necessary after that pounding.

BRONCOS @ COMMANDERS

Best Bet: RJ Harvey Over 50.5 rushing yards

This could be the breakout game fantasy owners have awaited. The talented rookie second-rounder has flashed promise but hasn't delivered yet. Denver is favored and should lean heavily on the ground game against Washington's shaky defense.

GIANTS @ PATRIOTS

Best Bet: Jaxson Dart Under 25.5 rushing yards

Jaxson Dart missed the last game with a concussion and the end of the one before it. Former head coach Brian Daboll drew criticism for reckless play-calling with designed runs that injured the young quarterback. Expect a more cautious approach this week.
