NFL Week 13 Betting Trends and Odds for Every Team, Every Game
By Ben Heisler
Week 13 of the NFL season kicks off on Thursday night with a major AFC East showdown between the New England Patriots hosting the Buffalo Bills as a slight home dog.
Before you consider wagering on tonight's game, as well as any of the other matchups on Sunday or Monday, it's always helpful to catch up on some of the major trends tallied up throughout the week to help provide some additional perspective on how to handicap these matchups.
Remember, trends should be a tool, rather than an end-all-be-all to deciding on who to wager on. Because of this, several trends tend to not be particularly helpful, and may not include relevant data to help make a decision. Therefore, we've helped sort out the noise and delivered what we believe to be some of the most noteworthy and interesting betting trends for every team and game in Week 13 below!
Every one of our team's betting plays, favorite prop bets, anytime touchdown scorer selections and more for Week 13 can be found throughout the week on our NFL Expert Picks and Predictions page:
