With the final month of the NFL regular season about to get underway, games are going to be as competitive as ever. Teams across the league are jockeying for playoff spots, draft positioning, and placement in their divisions. Additionally, there are teams trying to complete undefeated seasons, avoid winless ones, and there are plenty of coaches on the hot seat that are looking to avoid the same fates as Bill O'Brien, Dan Quinn, and Matt Patricia.

All of those factors will certainly have impacts on sportsbook spreads and best bets for people gambling on the NFL or playing in picks against the spread office pools. It's important to keep up with the latest line movements as they often reflect some big news, whether it's a recent poor performances or an injury update about a key questionable player.

• To bet on the NFL a bettor must understand each aspect of the betting slip, including the point spread, lines and totals. These are all basic to making an NFL bet and the better you understand odds and how they work, the more chance you have of winning.
• The ball initially moves forward (to a point nearer the opponent’s goal line) after leaving the passer’s hand(s); or; the ball first touches the ground, a player, an official, or anything else at a point that is nearer the opponent’s goal line than the point.

An NFL point spread is the number of points a team needs to win by to win the bet. Betting against the spread, or ATS for short, is the most popular way to bet on NFL games and is not too difficult to understand. The team that is favored will be listed with a negative number (ie.5) and that is the number they need to win the game.

This week, the injured quarterbacks will be the most important, as Lamar Jackson (COVID) and Daniel Jones (hamstring) loom large in helping determine the lines of the Ravens-Cowboys and Giants-Seahawks games. Meanwhile, a couple of teams starting backup quarterbacks -- the Bengals and the Jaguars -- are double-digit underdogs. While betting a backup usually isn't appealing, the Bengals and Jaguars both covered the spread in losses last week with Brandon Allen and Mike Glennon at the helm, so facing double-digit point spreads, they may have a chance at a backdoor cover at the very least.

NFL best bets for Week 13

Green Bay Packers (-8.5) vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The Packers are coming off a dominating win against the Bears in which they scored 41 points, and they should have similar success against the Eagles. One of the reasons the Packers were so successful against the Bears was that they were able to get three turnovers, three sacks, and a defensive TD during the game. Carson Wentz has been sacked 46 times in the year and has thrown 15 interceptions, both of which lead the league, so the Packers could make his life miserable, give Aaron Rodgers a short field, and put up a lot of points in this one. Garbage time is always a concern with the Eagles (just look at what they did against Seattle last week) but the Packers should be able to score enough to make that a non-factor.

Pittsburgh Steelers (-7) vs. Washington Football Team

Washington's last six games have either been wins or losses by three or fewer points, so this may seem like an odd pick, especially after the Steelers struggled on offense against the Ravens. That said, Washington hasn't played a team with a winning record since Week 5, and against teams with a winning record this year, they have lost by an average of 15.75 points per game. The Steelers are undefeated, obviously, and would be favored by more than this if they hadn't flopped in the red zone repeatedly against the Ravens, so we'll roll with them facing a team from the weakest division in the league.

New England Patriots (+1.5) at Los Angeles Chargers

The Patriots haven't been playing all that well of late, but Bill Belichick has been excellent when facing rookie QBs over the course of his career. He holds a 19-5 record straight up when playing against rookie passers and as good as Justin Herbert has looked this year, the Patriots could have some exotic looks prepared to force him into some mistakes. That will be enough for them to earn a close win, especially against a Chargers squad that has a knack for losing close games (seven of their eight losses on the year have been by eight or fewer points).

The NFL is down to just seven more action games for the 2020 season and 2021 playoffs. If the six wild card weekend games were any indication, the league should head to another Saturday and Sunday of closer games and big surprises for the divisional round.

Not surprisingly, the NFC No. 6 Rams and AFC No. 6 Browns, who delivered upsets against the third-seeded Seahawks and Steelers last week, are the most disadvantaged on the road when facing off. the Packers and Chiefs, the respective seeds.

Which is why a pair of red-hot No. 5 seeds – the Ravens and Buccaneers – get more manageable matchups against the Bills and Saints, who also played last week. Throughout this week, the NFC matchups have seen the lines drift slightly from the favorites, while the expected winners from the AFC have maintained their points lead.

The quarterbacks take center stage with MVP candidates Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes springing into action after a goodbye, joining Jared Goff, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, Tom Brady and Drew Brees. With that, there is the possibility of another series of high scoring games.

The best bets in the NFL for divisional playoff games

1. Rams +6.5

Nfl Week 13 Lines Point Spread

The Rams took care of business in Seattle as they faced a dysfunctional offense from the Seahawks. They’ll have a hard time getting past Rodgers and the Packers offense, but they have the defense to stay close. The Rams also have rookie running back Cam Akers with whom to play more ball control for Sean McVay, whose team was on the field for nearly 34 minutes during the wild card game. Jalen Ramsey and the Rams cornerbacks will work to contain the big plays from Davante Adams and the Packers’ wide receivers, which will lead Green Bay to its own game. Rodgers does enough to win.

2. Invoices -2.5

It appears the Ravens have the most momentum with a six-game winning streak. The Bills have won the most consecutive games in this meeting with seven. Since a midseason setback, Allen has played like a possessed passer and has also returned to running at a high level. He should see Stefon Diggs play a great game outside against Marcus Peters to help out, unperturbed by the Ravens making the Bills’ offense one-dimensional. Meanwhile, Jackson and the Ravens will have great success on the ground, but the passing field will be limited and Marquise Brown will see a lot of Tre’Davious White.

3. Browns at Chiefs UNDER 56.5

That number is huge for a playoff game. The Browns scored 48 points last week and when combining both teams’ season scoring averages, they get 56.4. The Chiefs may get off to a slightly slow start with the rust-based Mahomes, while the Browns should have increased nervousness in a more hostile environment as they are eager to duplicate the dominant start in Pittsburgh. The Browns are also capable of taking long runs with their running game, which can limit both teams’ possessions. If the Chiefs build a solid lead in the second half, Mayfield seeing constant pressure against a good pass defense won’t generate as much garbage to increase the total.

4. Bosses +10

The Chiefs can easily walk away with Mahomes and put Mayfield in an awkward position to catch up. The Browns must suffer a general emotional disappointment, while the reigning Super Bowl champions will be more focused, trying to avoid the constant comeback mode in which they spent most of last year’s playoffs.

5. Buccaneers in Saints OVER 51.5

Brady and Brees for the third time are too close to pay either way, given the Bucs ‘momentum but the Saints’ dominance in the two regular-season meetings. Saints -3 is too tight, which essentially makes it a pick ’em game. While the tilt towards Tampa Bay, there is no doubt that both teams will light it up. The Bucs and Saints can stop the run, but their defenses have developed holes elsewhere where both offenses are effective.
