Bettor’s Guide: NFL Week 13 Picks, Point Spreads, and Over-Under Odds

Update: The spreads for the 49ers-Packers and Cardinals-Rams games have been posted, along with my picks.

Friends, I hope you didn’t bail on me after my midseason lull. After a strong start to the season (six straight .500 or better weeks) I hit the skids in Week 7, 8, and 9, going 17-20-1. I have rebounded since, however, going 26-14-2 during weeks 10-12, punctuated by last week’s 10-4-1 mark. It is one of the hottest streaks I’ve head picking games here on MSF.

On the season, I am now 93-66-8, and riding a huge wave of momentum. There are some terrific games to pick in Week 13 (especially the primetime games – Baltimore-Pittsburgh and New England-New York Jets) so let’s get right to it.

As always, my strategy remains the same: see spread, start typing the first thing that pops into my head, pick a winner. It’s that simple. And based on the results, I’d say it’s working pretty well.

NFL Week 13 Picks, Point Spreads, TV Schedule, and Announcers

Update: The NFL Week 17 TV schedule, point spreads, and picks post is up.

——————–

As you know if you’ve been following these posts, I’ve been on a hot streak lately after having a couple of down weeks. a 22-9 record over the last two weeks put the .500 mark well in my rearview mirror.

Week 12 has been solid so far (posting this before SNF game starts), picking eight of the 14 games right with the Baltimore-Pittsburgh and Patriots-Saints games still to go.

Update: I went 1-1 in the PrimeTime games, finishing 9-7 for the week. Cumulative record is now 97-71.

As we look ahead to Week 13, a couple of key games jump out at me right off the bat.

First, surging Tennessee travels to Indianapolis to take on the 11-0 Colts. This should be a fascinating game between two QBs who are playing superbly right now, but whose styles could not be more different.

Second, the Giants and the Cowboys clash in what is essentially an elimination game for New York. Should Dallas win, the Giants’ playoff hopes are basically dashed. However, Eli and Co. can reassert themselves with a win, as they would then be one game back of Dallas and hold the tiebreaker.

Let’s go game-by-game and look at the the TV info, spreads, and picks for each.
