Best NFL underdog picks and predictions for Week 13

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Week 12 was not that great for the underdogs, although there were notable wins. Four underdogs out of 13 games won their game outright and 5 covered the spread.

The Cleveland Browns won their game outright against the Pittsburgh Steelers as 3.5-point underdogs, the Carolina Panthers covered the 10.5-point spread in a 30-27 loss to Kansas City, the Tennessee Titans beat the Houston Texans 32-27 as 8-point underdogs, the Dallas Cowboys beat the Washington Commanders 34-26 as 10.5-point underdogs and the Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 16-6 as 1-point dogs.

However, the 3 picks we made all missed. The Indianapolis Colts, Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots all failed to cover the spread in their losses, dropping our record to 19-16-1.

Let’s do better in Week 13.

NFL underdog predictions: Week 13

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of NFL odds. Lines last updated Wednesday at 11:14 a.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET unless noted.

DOLPHINS +3 (-115) at Packers – Thursday 8:20 p.m. (NBC)

The Dolphins are 3-2 since the return of QB Tua Tagovailoa and have averaged 29 points per game. They have won 3 straight games and scored 34 points in 2 straight games. Defensively, they have not allowed opponents to score more than 19 in their win streak.

The Packers barely beat a struggling Chicago Bears team 2 weeks ago, but and blew out a shorthanded San Francisco 49ers team 38-10 Sunday. In the 3 games before that, they allowed 24.3 points per game.

RAIDERS +12 (-110) at Chiefs – Friday 3 p.m. (Amazon Prime Video)

QB Aidan O’Connell appears set to return for the Raiders, who covered the 8.5-point in a 7-point loss to the Chiefs on Oct. 27. The Chiefs have been kings of the 1-score games. Their last 4 wins and 8 of their 10 this season have been by no more than 8 points.

Can the Chiefs blow out the Raiders? Absolutely, but they have been allowing almost everyone to stay with them before making winning plays late in the game.
