But before we dive into my picks, let’s take a look at some interesting facts and stats about Week 13:
- The New England Patriots have won their last 7 games in Week 13.

My Top Picks
Now, let’s get to the good stuff. Here are my top picks for Week 13:
New England Patriots (-3) at Houston Texans
I know the Patriots haven’t been as dominant as they have been in the past, but they’re still one of the best teams in the league. And with Tom Brady at the helm, I’m confident they can cover the spread against the Texans. Plus, with Houston’s defense struggling, I think the Patriots will be able to put up some points.
Dallas Cowboys (-7) vs. Buffalo Bills
The Cowboys have been a little inconsistent this season, but they’ve been playing better lately and have a favorable matchup against the Bills. Buffalo’s offense has been struggling, and I think Dallas’ defense will be able to keep them in check. Plus, with Ezekiel Elliott running the ball, I think the Cowboys will be able to control the clock and cover the spread.
Baltimore Ravens (-6.5) vs. San Francisco 49ers
The Ravens have been on fire lately, and I don’t see them slowing down anytime soon. Lamar Jackson is playing at an MVP level, and the Ravens’ offense is firing on all cylinders. The 49ers have a good defense, but I don’t think they’ll be able to stop Baltimore. I’m taking the Ravens to cover the spread.

I think the Patriots are still a really good team, and I expect them to bounce back against the Texans this week. Their defense is still one of the best in the league, and Tom Brady is still one of the best quarterbacks of all time. I like them to cover the spread.
FAQs
What is the spread?
The spread is a betting term that refers to the number of points by which a team is expected to win or lose a game. For example, if the Patriots are favored by 3 points over the Texans, they would need to win by more than 3 points to cover the spread.
Should I always bet on the favorite?
No, you shouldn’t always bet on the favorite. While favorites are more likely to win, they may not always cover the spread. It’s important to do your research and analyze the data before making a bet.
What should I do if I lose a bet?
If you lose a bet, don’t chase your losses by making bigger bets to try to win back your money. Instead, take a break and come back with a clear head. It’s important to bet responsibly and within your means.
What is the best way to bet on NFL games?
The best way to bet on NFL games is to do your research and analyze the data. Look at each team’s stats, injuries, and recent performances to make an informed bet. It’s also important to bet responsibly and within your means.
