Last week showcased favorable trends in the lookahead betting column, highlighted by successful moves such as taking the Saints as 3.5-point underdogs against the Panthers and the Bills as 2.5-point favorites over the Texans. Both positions were influenced by injury updates, particularly regarding Michael Penix Jr., who is now sidelined, and C.J. Stroud, whose appearance was initially anticipated but has been delayed.
In the aftermath of last week’s games, the lines adjusted to reflect outcomes that many anticipated. Specifically, the Bears ascended to -3, reflecting their performance relative to the week’s games. Notably, the Raiders aligned to -3 after news that Shedeur Sanders would be starting for the Browns, leading to significant line movement.
The matchups this upcoming week are promising as well, with eyes on the Falcons facing the Jets, where both teams have appointed new starting quarterbacks due to prior performance issues. The performance of Kirk Cousins against the Saints and Tyrod Taylor against the Ravens will significantly influence how the lines will shift for this contest.
Week 13 Lookahead Lines:
- Packers at Lions (-3), 48.5
- Chiefs (-4.5) at Cowboys, 51.5
- Bengals at Ravens (-7.5), 51.5
- Bears at Eagles (-7), 44.5
- Falcons (-1.5) at Jets, 39.5
- Cardinals at Buccaneers (-6.5), 49.5
Placing these bets early may offer advantageous positions for betting on the outcomes based on team form and adjustments leading into Week 13!
