NFL Schedule - Team vs. Team - Week 13
Arizona Cardinals vs New York Jets
The New York Jets have an excellent record against the Arizona Cardinals having won five of their seven meetings. The Jets have strung together a five game winning streak against the Cardinals with their last meeting being a memorable shootout back in 2008. This is a tough game to handicap as both sides have been in dreadful form in the past month and haven't been able to get anything going on offense. The best gambling play is betting on the team available at longer odds at Online Sportsbooks.
Carolina Panthers vs Kansas City Chiefs
This will be just the fifth meeting between these two franchises. Both teams have struggled in 2012 and will have one eye on the 2013 NFL draft. These sides both have offensive weapons that they haven't been able to fully unleash this season. Panthers quarterback Cam Newton hasn't received the protections he needs from his offensive line while Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles has been mismanaged by the Chiefs coaching staff. This is another game where betting on the underdog is probably the best play.
Cincinnati Bengals vs San Diego Chargers
The San Diego Chargers have a strong record against the Cincinnati Bengals and have won the last seven clashes between the two sides. Both these teams currently have losing records and need to win this game to have any chance of qualifying for a wildcard in the AFC. The x-factor in this game could be explosive Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green who is carrying the Bengals offense on his back. Green may be the difference in this game and the Bengals should be available at good odds at Online Sportsbooks.
Cleveland Browns vs Oakland Raiders
The Oakland Raiders have an excellent record against the Browns and this should continue in 2012. Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer has played the Browns on nine occasions and has been victorious on nine occasions. The veteran quarterback has been in excellent form this season and should be able to lead his side to victory. The Raiders have shown an ability to score a lot of points this season and could be a good bet in the spread betting market at Online Sportsbooks.
Houston Texans vs Tennessee Titans
This is the second meeting between these sides in 2012. The Texans won that game by a comfortable twenty-four point margin and are expected to do the same in week 13. The Texans are simply stronger than the Titans on both sides of the football and can hurt the Titans with both their passing and rushing game. The Texans have all but wrapped up the AFC South divisional title but will still be keen to inflict a defeat on their divisional rivals and are one of the safest bets of the week.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs Buffalo Bills
The matches between these sides have been extremely close with eight of their last ten meetings being decided by less a touchdown. It would not be a surprise to see a similar margin in this game as these teams have been as bad as each other in 2012. This is an opportunity for the Jaguars defense to finally put up some points as the Bills defense has been the worst in the league this season. Despite this, the Bills offense, led by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, should be strong enough to win this game.
Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers
This will be a very important game between these NFC North divisional rivals. Both these sides are chasing the Chicago Bears who are currently leading the division. It is likely that the NFC North may qualify three teams for the playoffs but all three will still be desperate to win the divisional title. The Packers have won the last four meetings between these sides and are expected to extend this winning streak in 2012. It is tough to see the Vikings offense being able to keep up with the Packers and this could lead to sophomore quarterback Christian Ponder making some poor decisions. The Packers are a good betting option in this game.
New Orleans Saints vs Atlanta Falcons
This is the second meeting this season between these fierce divisional rivals. The Saints snapped the Falcons undefeated start to the season in week 10 despite Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan throwing three touchdown passes and over 400 yards. That was the fourth win in a row, against the Falcons, for the Saints and the Falcons will be desperate to end this winning streak in week 13. The games between these sides are generally entertaining and high scoring so betting on the under option in the Over/Under betting market at Online Sportsbooks is an excellent gambling proposition in this game.
New York Giants vs Washington Redskins
Eli Manning led the Giants to a narrow win over the Redskins in week 4 of the 2012 NFL schedule and will be hoping he doesn't have to wait until the last minute to do it in week 13. Manning threw a seventy-seven yard touchdown pass to Victor Cruz to win the game with 1:13 left crushing the come-back hopes of rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III. This game should, once again, be decided by the battle between Manning and RG3. Manning has been struggling with injuries in recent weeks and because of this the Redskins are a strong chance to cause an upset in this game and should be available at excellent odds with Online Sportsbooks.
Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys
This is the second meeting in three games between these two sides. The Cowboys won the first meeting between these sides 38-23 in week 10 with Eagles quarterback Michael Vick being injured in the process. The Eagles have been one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL this season and Vick and head coach Andy Reid may be out of jobs at the end of the season. Tony Romo is another quarterback that hasn't been impressive in 2012 and needs to improve significantly if the Cowboys are going to make an unlikely run to the playoffs. The Cowboys have more to play for in this game and should be able to win this game.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens
This is the second meeting between these sides in three weeks. The Steelers are only one game behind the Ravens and if they can win both of these clashes will be in the driving seat to win the AFC North Division. However, the Ravens have won the last two meetings between these two sides and been the superior side in 2012. The games between these sides are always tough to predict so betting on the team available at longer odds at Online Sportsbooks is the best gambling play for this game.
Seattle Seahawks vs Chicago Bears
These two sides have traded victories since 2007 with neither team able to string together back to back victories. Both of these teams have excellent defensive units so this game should be low-scoring and incredibly hard fought. This will be a tough test for the Bears who have struggled to score points against strong defenses and have had to rely on their defense scoring points to win games. The Seahawks are a consistent side who are flying under the radar this season and will be very difficult to beat. Betting on the under option in the Over/Under betting market at Online Sportsbooks is an excellent gambling proposition in this game.
St Louis Rams vs San Francisco 49ers
These divisional rivals played a 24-24 tie, in week 10 of the 2012 NFL schedule, the first tie in the NFL for four seasons. Both kickers had a chance to win the game for their teams but missed field goals in overtime. The 49ers should take a lot from that close shave and they will be determined not to drop another game. The Rams have struggled to string together strong performance in 2012 but do seem to play well against their divisional rivals. Despite this the 49ers are still a fairly safe bet and should be available at decent odds at Online Sportsbooks.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos have a strong record against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will be expected to continue that in week 13 of the 2012 NFL schedule. The Buccaneers secondary defense has been poor this season and Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning should be able to take advantage of this. The Broncos have been excellent in the past month and should be too strong for the improved Buccaneers squad. This game has the potential to be high scoring so betting on the over option in the Over/Under betting market is a good gambling proposition.
