Week 13 NFL Picks Against the Spread – Early Lines to Target

By Robert Duff in NFL Football
Published:

- In the Week 13 NFL picks against the spread, the Philadelphia Eagles are displaying the best straight up (10-1) and ATS (7-2-2) records in the league
- The Carolina Panthers have a new coach but continue to be the NFL’s worst ATS team (1-8-2) this season
- All of the Week 13 NFL picks against the spread and early lines to target are outlined in the story below
As the time arrives to assess the Week 13 NFL picks against the spread, as sure as death and taxes, the fall of 1-2 is showing no signs of letting up. For the third successive week, that was the outcome of the ATS picks.
Minnesota QB Joshua Dobbs selected the Week 12 MNF game to turn back into a pumpkin. The Chicago Bears are now 3-0 straight and 2-1 ATS in prime time games this season.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers couldn’t come up with a cover against Indianapolis, the first time they’ve failed to cover on the road this season. Thankfully, the underdog Atlanta Falcons stepped up and won outright in a key divisional game against New Orleans to save me from the utter embarrassment of an 0-3 week.
Onward we go, hopeful that this week will bring redemption. Let’s look ahead to the NFL lines for the Week 13 ATS picks.
The Denver Broncos have won five in a row, but they’re 3.5-point underdogs at Houston. Detroit is coming off a loss, but the Lions are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a loss as they head to New Orleans as 4-point favorites. Green Bay, like Denver, is in turnaround mode and getting 6.5 points at home against Kansas City.
Now, let’s check out all the best early bets in the Week 13 ATS picks.

Coming off a huge road win on Thanksgiving Day at Detroit, the Packers are shocking 6.5-point home underdogs to Kansas City. Granted, the Chiefs are 17-1 SU in their last 18 December games and 9-1 ATS in the past 10 road games.

Along with being 5-0 SU in the past five games, the Broncos are also 4-1 ATS. Also, Denver is 4-1 SU in the past five against Houston.
If the Denver Broncos make the playoffs, Sean Payton has to be the NFL Coach of the Year. Only 3 teams in NFL History have started 1-5 and made the playoffs. @SeanPayton pic.twitter.com/O4mtnD0NER

- Titans (+1) vs Colts: Tennessee is 5-1 ATS and SU in the last six against Indianapolis
- Patriots (+6) vs Chargers: As much as New England stinks, it hard to see the underachieving Chargers winning by nearly a TD on the road
