It’s Thanksgiving weekend, and we’re heading into a full weekend of non-stop NFL action. This is a critical week for many teams as they gear up for crucial matchups on a short week.
Check out our weekly predictions for every Week 13 NFL contest!
Chicago Bears vs Philadelphia Eagles
- Stadium: Lincoln Financial Field
- Location: Philadelphia, PA
- Time: Friday 3:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: PHI -7 | Total: 44.5
- Moneyline: PHI -340 | CHI +240
We knew the Eagles were on an unsustainable defensive pace, but we didn’t expect them to implode against the Cowboys last week. Philadelphia gave up 473 yards and blew a 21-7 halftime lead. The defending champs will have a hard time containing a Bears squad that has won four straight while averaging 30.3 points per game. It’s unlikely Chicago matches that elite production at Lincoln Financial Field, but it should be enough to keep the visitors within striking distance on Black Friday.
Predicted Outcome: Eagles 24 – Bears 20
Atlanta Falcons vs New York Jets
- Stadium: MetLife Stadium
- Location: East Rutherford, NJ
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: ATL -2.5 | Total: 39.5
- Moneyline: ATL -145 | NYJ +125
Kirk Cousins led the Falcons to their first win since Week 6 last time out, but they won’t be so fortunate on Sunday. Atlanta put up 302 yards of offense, which sadly brought their six-game average up to 290.2 yards per game. The Jets have lost two straight to division leaders, but continue to flex their defensive muscles every time they step on the field. That will be the case again in Week 13, as they slug it out with a perennially underachieving Falcons side. New York pulls off the upset, allowing the Falcons to resume their 2025 tailspin.
Predicted Outcome: Jets 20 – Falcons 12
Los Angeles Rams vs Carolina Panthers
- Stadium: Bank of America Stadium
- Location: Charlotte, NC
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: LAR -10 | Total: 44.5
- Moneyline: LAR -750 | CAR +475
The Rams have emerged as a mid-season Super Bowl favorite, thanks to their six-game winning streak and 8-2 record. Still, we have the championship contenders pegged for regression ahead of this intra-conference tilt. Los Angeles has overachieved relative to its production metrics, recording 34 or more points in three of its past four. At the same time, they haven’t eclipsed 333 yards in either of their last two games, netting an average of 291.0 yards per game. An early East Coast start is the x-factor that shifts the betting winds further in Carolina’s favor. Panthers come close to pulling off a dramatic upset, but LA prevails on a late field goal.
Predicted Outcome: Rams 24 – Panthers 23
New Orleans Saints vs Miami Dolphins
- Stadium: Hard Rock Stadium
- Location: Miami Gardens, FL
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: MIA -6 | Total: 41.5
- Moneyline: MIA -275 | NO +225
The Dolphins have a terrible track record of coming up short against lesser opponents. While the Fins can’t seem to get out of their own way, the Saints have tied their own shoes together this season. New Orleans ranks among the worst offensive teams in the league, averaging 312.8 yards and 15.0 points per game. Their defense has excelled at times this season, but with five of their last six opponents recording at least 23 points, it’s clear they are running out of gas late in the season. Miami will wield its offensive advantage and easily escape with the win.
Predicted Outcome: Dolphins 28 – Saints 13
Arizona Cardinals vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Stadium: Raymond James Stadium
- Location: Tampa, FL
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: TB -2.5 | Total: 43.5
- Moneyline: TB -145 | ARI +125
It’s been a terrible month for the Buccaneers. The NFC South leaders have dropped three straight and have just one win over their last five games. As bad as things have been, this Bucs squad is better than they’ve shown. Injuries have been a factor in its limited offensive production, but Tampa Bay should see an uptick in offensive efficiency as its key players return to the lineup. Further, the Cardinals aren’t an imposing defensive unit that will hamper the Bucs’ offensive abilities. Arizona has given up 41 or more points in two of its previous three, setting the stage for a resounding home performance from the Buccaneers.
Predicted Outcome: Buccaneers 31 – Cardinals 24
San Francisco 49ers vs Cleveland Browns
- Stadium: Huntington Bank Field
- Location: Cleveland, OH
- Time: Sunday 1:00 p.m. ET
- Spread: SF -4.5 | Total: 35.5
- Moneyline: SF -240 | CLE +200
Turnovers were a problem for the Niners in last week’s win over the Panthers. Unfortunately, they could struggle again in Week 13’s clash versus the Browns. Cleveland’s defense has been too much for any team to handle. The Browns rank second in total defense, but their 13th-ranked scoring defense is far inferior. That disconnect supports that we should see decreased opponent scoring over the coming games. Unfortunately for 49ers fans, that aligns with their anticipated scoring regression, which came to fruition in Week 12. Still, we don’t trust the Browns’ offense.
Predicted Outcome: 49ers 13 – Browns 10
Minnesota Vikings vs Seattle Seahawks
- Stadium: Lumen Field
- Location: Seattle, WA
- Time: Sunday 4:05 p.m. ET
- Spread: SEA -11.5 | Total: 41.5
- Moneyline: SEA -750 | MIN +475
NFL schedule makers always get the narratives right. The surprising Seahawks host the Vikings in Week 13, pitting their quarterback against his former squad. Sam Darnold’s departure from Minnesota has cast the Vikings down in the standings. They aren’t mathematically eliminated from postseason contention, but Darnold will do his part to ensure his former teammates have nothing to play for over the coming weeks. Seattle’s offense has looked unstoppable. Darnold will put an exclamation point on this week’s performance.
Predicted Outcome: Seahawks 42 – Vikings 20
Denver Broncos vs Washington Commanders
- Stadium: Northwest Stadium
- Location: Landover,
- Time: Sunday 8:20 p.m. ET
- Spread: DEN -6 | Total: 43.5
- Moneyline: DEN -290 | WSH +240
Few people expected the Broncos to win this season with such ease. Yet here we are, 12 weeks into the campaign, and the Broncos are sitting pretty atop the AFC West. The Commanders are trending in the opposite direction. Failing to build off last year’s run to the NFC Championship, Washington sits at a meager 3-8 and is already out of playoff contention. There may be some redeeming performances over the final few weeks of the season, but that won’t come on Sunday Night Football. Denver romps the Commanders on primetime.
Predicted Outcome: Broncos 42 – Commanders 17
New York Giants vs New England Patriots
- Stadium: Gillette Stadium
- Location: Foxborough, MA
- Time: Monday 8:15 p.m. ET
- Spread: NE -7.5 | Total: 46.5
- Moneyline: NE -425 | NYG +320
It has yet to translate to more victories, but Jameis Winston’s presence under center has reinvigorated the Giants’ offense. New York has put up 853 yards over its previous two contests, out-gaining their opponents in both outings. Eventually, those efforts will result in more wins. That could come at the Patriots’ expense on Monday Night Football, as their defensive standing has declined in recent weeks. New England has covered the number once over its previous four contests, a downward trend that continues in Week 13. Giants pull off a stunner.
Predicted Outcome: Giants 30 – Patriots 24
