After a long week 12, which eventually ended on Wednesday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers maintaining their position as the only unbeaten team in the NFL, we have a fascinating week 13 to look forward to.
There are intriguing clashes in the AFC and NFC, which will go a long way to determining the playoff pictures in both conferences. The AFC is headlined by the Browns’ clash with the Titans while the big NFC game is between the Rams and Cardinals. There is also a key game on Monday night as the Bills face the 49ers on a neutral field in Arizona.
Every week our NFL trader, Ian Dent, pinpoints his best bets for the weekend – check out the videos below to see what he fancies.
Treble – Browns (+6), Raiders (-8.5) & Vikings (-10.5)
First up, I like the Cleveland Browns getting 6 points in Tennessee. I think this game will be very close. It’s a clash of teams with great running backs – Derrick Henry for the Titans and Nick Chubb for the Browns.
Chubb is massively underrated for me, and he has an excellent compliment in Kareem Hunt. The Browns have been very competitive all season and I can’t see the Titans pulling away, so I’ll take the points.
For the second leg, I’ll take the Las Vegas Raiders against the New York Jets. The Raiders had a nightmare last week, but they are a decent team overall while the Jets are just a mess, I’ll take the Raiders to cover.
Finally, I think the Minnesota Vikings can cover a big line at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Vikings saved their season last week, and with Dalvin Cook healthy along with the impressive wide receivers, Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson, they should be too good for the Jaguars.
This Treble pays out at approximately 6/1
Same Game Multi – Rams @ Cardinals: Rams (-3.5), Cardinals total points under 24.5 & Kyler Murray Passing Yards under
The Cardinals have struggled the last few weeks, with quarterback Kyler Murray carrying a nagging shoulder injury. The Rams defence is very good and with the Cardinals offense not clicking currently, I can see the Rams covering -3.5.
And with the Cardinals struggling offensively, I can see their total points total going under 23.5. Aaron Donald is leading the defensive player of the year betting and he heads up a strong Rams pass rush. And with Murray struggling so much and facing a potent D, I think his passing yards will go under here.
Monday night football Double – Bills @ 49ers: Bills (-2.5) & Gabriel Davis first and anytime TD scorer
San Francisco are not allowed play in their own stadium due to COVID restrictions, so this game is being held in Arizona.
But I don’t think this will make any difference to the Bills. Most games don’t have fans in the stadiums, so this won’t be a factor.
The 49ers had a good win last week, but they are still starting backup quarterback Nick Mullens. Buffalo QB, Josh Allen, is much-improved and I think he will get the better of Mullens and should cover the -2.5 spread.
In the touchdown markets, I like Buffalo’s rookie wide receiver Gabriel Davis. He was a 4th-round pick in the draft and he already has four TDs this year from just 22 receptions and with John Brown out injured he has been handed a full-time role.
It’s a crucial week in the NFL, and as ever, Paddy Power will have the best in-play prices and markets available.
