2023 NFL Week 13 Best Bets
Lions at Saints
This will be a fun and exciting game in New Orleans. Derek Carr and Jared Goff play better indoors and this one is in the Superdome. The Lions need to bounce back after that disappointing showing they had on Thanksgiving after they got smoked by the Packers.
The Saints also need a win after they lost a close, tough divisional game to the Falcons. I don’t like the Saints coaching staff or Derek Carr's reliability.
The Lions will bounce back and win this one with ease.

Cardinals at Steelers
This is my upset special of the weekend. Everything I heard about was how the Steelers offense was fixed after they parted ways with Matt Canada. I am not the biggest Matt Canada fan but it is time to pump the brakes on saying the Steelers have fixed their offense in a game in which they scored a whopping 16 points.
The Cardinals and Kyler Murray seem to be improving every week and remain a tough out for most teams. I expect Kyler Murray to cause some problems for the Steelers linebackers in space and will make enough plays to eke out this game on the road.

Broncos at Texans
This is going to be a great game as both teams are vying for the playoffs. The winner of this game will increase their playoff chances to 70%! CJ Stroud has been so composed and a true difference-maker for the Texans this year. They are at home, but I have to pick the Broncos in this one.
The coaching job Sean Payton has done for the Broncos has been incredible this season. They have figured out how to win and continue to grind teams down to the final minutes, where they can keep it close and rely on playmakers to win.
I love the hook on this one and will take the Broncos and the 3.5 points. If they don’t win, they should definitely cover.
Broncos +3.5 (-110) 2 Units
Niners at Eagles
This is the revenge game this team has been waiting for since last year’s NFC Championship game in Philadelphia. The Niners insist the game would have been different had Purdy not gotten injured. Perhaps they’re correct.
I think the Niners won this game because they had more time to prepare, and the Eagles just haven’t looked very good in the last few weeks. The Eagles have been surviving and winning close games and are running into a Niners team at the worst time on their schedule.
