NFL Week 13 offers a bunch of interesting matchups and, wouldn’t you know it, Sunday’s smartest betting picks also come from some of the day’s biggest games as well.
In Minnesota, the Mike White show rolls on (or does it?) against the Vikings.
We also have an NFC East showdown between the Commanders and Giants that could decide which of these teams ultimately earns an NFC wild-card berth.
And as part of Sunday’s late slate, the Seahawks get a shell of the reigning Super Bowl champion Rams, who will be without their core of Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp and Aaron Donald.
With the help of a PRO System with a 62% against-the-spread (ATS) win rate and the Action Network’s sharp action indicators, here are Sunday’s three best NFL picks for Week 13.
NFL Picks for Week 13
*NFL odds as of Sunday morning
Jets vs. Vikings Pick
1 p.m. ET | CBS
Will White and the Jets offense turn back into pumpkins? Or is what we saw last weekend against the Bears the new normal for New York?
Thankfully, the Action Network’s NFL PRO Betting Systems provide this answer.
At first, I was sure that backing Captain Kirk was the play, but per usual I was:
While I admit that my personal biases led me to initially lean Vikings in this matchup, the Jets fit our Road Dog, Low Total After Bad Season System, which is 242-151-10 (62%) ATS dating back to 2005.
In addition, two of our top NFL bettors are also taking New York and the points, suggesting that the Jets are the valuable side of this extremely interesting matchup.
Pick: Jets +3 |

Commanders vs. Giants Pick
1 p.m. ET | FOX
Welcome to the Walsh Bowl.
I was born in New Jersey and am a Giants fan, while my wife is from Northern Virginia and is a Commanders fan.
Are we used to these teams playing each other? Of course, they’re in the same division.
Are we used to these teams playing each other and it actually meaning something? Lol.
But let’s not talk about how this game will inevitably affect my marriage and instead look at the smartest way to bet Commanders vs. Giants, which is to bypass the spread in favor of the total.
This number opened at 42 at FanDuel Sportsbook and smart money has taken a market-moving position on the under.
Sharps steamed the Commanders vs. Giants under earlier this week, catalyzing a move down to the latest consensus line of 40.5 (click here for live NFL odds).
My wife and I can both root for a lower-scoring game no matter the outcome and remain civil, right?
Pick: Under 40.5 |
Seahawks vs. Rams Prediction
4:05 p.m. ET | FOX
Los Angeles will be without its starting quarterback and All-Pro wide receiver, and the sharp side of Seahawks vs. Rams falls right in line.
In eerily similar line movement to Commanders vs. Giants, the Seahawks vs. Rams total opened at 42 and has been bombarded with large wagers from respected players, leaving oddsmakers no choice but to react by adjusting this number down to 41 as of the time of writing.
Pick: Under 41
