BlueBet previews the NFL Week 13 action below. Read on for our best bets per game and an overview of the feature games this week.
Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys
Date: Friday 12:25 pm. Venue: Arlington
Odds: Cowboys $1.97, Redskins $1.87
The Cowboys host the Redskins on Friday at Arlington. We'll provide a betting preview of the game below.
Form Guide:
The 5-6 Redskins got the job done against the Giants last week and will face another divisional team in the Cowboys. They’re just outside of the wildcard race and winning this game could spark their season.
Dallas’ offence struggled again last week and they’ve now lost 3 in a row. Their season is on the line against the Redskins and they’ll need to find some scoring options.
Head to Head Record:
The Cowboys beat the Redskins in the earlier meeting this season, 33-19. Since 2012, they also lead the head to head 7-3.
Point Spread:
The point spread in this matchup is close as the betting expects a tight NFC East battle. But after the Cowboys last few games, it’s hard to see them winning this game. They have failed to score over 10 points in their 3 game losing streak. On the other hand, the Redskins are 15-7 ATS versus the Cowboys and 12-4 ATS on the road. Take the Skins at -4.5 for value.
Best bet: Redskins -4.5 ($2.85)
Total Points:
The total for this game is 40.5 points and we’ll be looking at the under. The Cowboys can’t score points at the moment and they’re 4-1 against the under. The Redskins only scored 20 points last week as well. So we can see a low scoring one here.
Best bet: Under 40.5 points ($2.37)
Tip:
Redskins WIN ($1.87)
The Redskins have won 2 of 3 in Dallas over the last few seasons and we’re backing them to beat the struggling Cowboys.
Philadelphia Eagles at Seattle Seahawks
Date: Monday 12:30 pm. Venue: Seattle
Odds: Seahawks $2.94, Eagles $1.43
The Seahawks host the Eagles on Monday at Seattle. We'll provide a betting preview of the game below.
Form Guide:
The flying Eagles continue to hold the NFL’s best record at 10-1. They trashed the Bears last week and haven’t lost since Week 2 of the season.
Seattle is 7-4 and sitting in the NFC wildcard race. They comfortably beat the 49ers last week, but will face a much tougher task against the Eagles.
Head to Head Record:
Since 1995, the Seahawks own a 7-3 record against the Eagles. They did meet last season and the Seahawks won at home 26-15. They’ve also won the last 3 overall meetings.
Point Spread:
The Eagles are 4.5 point favourites here against the Seahawks. They have covered this line in their last 5 games. But they do have a poor 1-5 record ATS on the road against the Seahawks. Seattle have a 11-3 record at home and the margin has been exactly 3 points in their last 3 home games. So we’ll take the Seahawks to cover in a close contest.
Best bet: Seahawks +6 ($1.89)
Total Points:
Carson Wentz and his offence is ranked #1 in the NFL for points scored with 31 points per game. They’ve topped 30+ in their last 5 games and the Seahawks D could find the going tough. They allowed 34 points in their last home game. But the Seahawks do have weapons on offence and can turn this into a shootout. So we’re going with the overs.
Best bet: Over 47.5 points (TBA)
Tip:
Eagles HT/FT ($1.83)
Despite the Eagles $1.43 favouritism, we’re expecting a close game in Seattle. The Seattle trip is one of the toughest trips in the NFL and it’s also hard winning 10 games in a row. But in the end, the Eagles are just better on both offence and defence, which will ultimately decide this game. So we can see the Eagles winning by a field goal.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals
Date: Tuesday 12:30 pm. Venue: Cincinnati
Odds: Bengals $3.02, Steelers $1.41
The Bengals host the Steelers on Tuesday at Cincinnati. We'll provide a betting preview of the game below.
Form Guide:
The Steelers have won 6 games in a row but did escape with victory agianst the Packers last week. They won on the last play thanks to a 53 yard field goal.
After a slow start to the season, the Bengals find themselves in the AFC wildcard playoff race. They have a 5-6 record and this is a key game against the Steelers.
Head to Head Record:
Pittsburgh have the wood over the Bengals having won 8 of the last 10 meetings. They’ve also won the last 4 in Cincinnati.
Point Spread:
The Steelers open as 5 point favourites in this game. The Bengal struggle for points against them as they hold a 2-13-2 ATS record at home when playing the Steelers. The Bengals have only beaten the Browns and Broncos over the last couple of games so we can’t see them challenging the Steelers.
Best bet: Steelers -5 ($1.89)
Total Points:
The under total points has a good trend in this matchup. When the Bengals host the Steelers the under is 4-2 and 5-2 overall. The Bengals are also 5-2 against the under at home. In the Steelers last 5 road games, the under is 5-0. Take the under.
Best bet: Under 43.5 points (TBA)
Tip:
Steelers HT/FT ($1.83)
The Steelers beat the Bengals 29-14 earlier this season and we can’t see the Steelers dropping this game.
