Week 13 NFL: Surprise Wins and Close Calls

The NFL is always full of surprises. This week, some underdogs might just pull off upsets. The Dallas Cowboys, for instance, could beat the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs' defense is usually strong, but the Cowboys have shown they can score big points. So, it might be a close game, but Dallas could come out on top. The Cincinnati Bengals are another team to watch. They get their star quarterback, Joe Burrow, back, but they're missing a key wide receiver. The Baltimore Ravens have a strong rush offense and defense, but the Bengals' special teams could make a difference. It's a tough call, but Cincinnati might cover the spread. The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions are pretty evenly matched. The Lions have a strong running game, and it's their home game. That might give them the edge to win and cover the spread. The Chicago Bears are facing the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles have a better rush defense and a slight special teams advantage. They're also playing at home. That could be enough for them to cover the spread. The San Francisco 49ers have a strong offense, but the Cleveland Browns have a great pass rush. If the 49ers' quarterback keeps throwing interceptions, the Browns could cover the spread. The Jacksonville Jaguars have a strong ground game, but the Tennessee Titans have been improving. The Titans might cover the spread at home. The Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts have an interesting matchup. The Colts' running back, Jonathan Taylor, is facing a strong Texans rush defense. The Colts are at home and healthier, but the Texans could cover the spread. The Miami Dolphins have been playing well lately, and they're coming off a bye week. The New Orleans Saints looked uninspired last week, so the Dolphins could win and cover the spread. The Atlanta Falcons have some strong offensive stats, but the New York Jets are known for keeping games close. The Falcons might win, but the Jets could cover the spread. The Arizona Cardinals are playing better, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a lot of issues. If the Buccaneers' quarterback doesn't play, it could be a close game. The Buccaneers might win, but it's a low-confidence pick. The Los Angeles Rams are the best team right now. They have a strong offense and an even better defense. The Carolina Panthers are well-coached, but the Rams should win and cover the spread. The Seattle Seahawks are much better than the Minnesota Vikings in nearly every category. The Vikings might start a rookie quarterback, making the Seahawks a safe pick to win and cover the spread. The Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers have a close matchup. The Bills are healthier and have a strong quarterback, but the Steelers could cover the spread. The Los Angeles Chargers are much better than the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have a lot of offensive issues, so the Chargers should win and cover the spread. The Denver Broncos have some big advantages, especially in pass rush and coverage. They should win by a lot and cover the spread. The New York Giants are on a losing streak, but they keep games close. The New England Patriots are on a winning streak, but the Giants might cover the spread.
