NEW ORLEANS SAINTS AT PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
December 13th – 4:25 pm ET – Lincoln Financial Field
The Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive woes under Carson Wentz have reached a breaking point with both fans and management. The team announced earlier this week that Jalen Hurts will start at quarterback with Wentz benched after four straight losses.
Hurts may wish he was still on the bench for this one though, with the Saints riding a nine-game winning streak and looking unstoppable in recent weeks. They come into Philadelphia as 7.5-point favourites, which isn’t much considering how good they have been.
The Eagles haven’t put up more than 20 points in any of their last four games and will struggle against a Saints’ defense that is full of confidence at the moment. Take the visitors to crush the Eagles on Sunday and cover the spread easily, with the under also worth taking. The Saints will be putting up points, but don’t expect the Eagles to.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS AT BUFFALO BILLS
December 13th – 8:20 pm ET – Bills Stadium
The Pittsburgh Steelers were the league’s only undefeated team until they lost to Washington on Monday night. They still sit comfortably at 11-1 though, but need to be careful with the Kansas City Chiefs also boasting an 11-1 record.
The Buffalo Bills have now won two games consecutively and enter Sunday night’s game as the favourites. The bookmakers have Josh Allen and company as 2.5-point favourites, as the Bills continue to prove they are legitimate contenders in the AFC.
Sunday will be a fun game to watch between two elite teams in the NFL, but go with the home team to squeak out a tight victory to give the Steelers their second loss in as many weeks. The over is also worth laying money on with both Ben Roethlisberger and Josh Allen looking to put on a show in prime time.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS AT MIAMI DOLPHINS
December 13th– 1:00 pm ET – Hard Rock Stadium
The Kansas City Chiefs have the most explosive offence in the NFL and have won their last seven games, blowing out teams along the way. They will be looking forward to the challenge presented by the Dolphins’ defense at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Dolphins have been one of the league’s biggest surprises as they continue to battle it out for a playoff spot in the competitive AFC. They are a respectable 8-4, but need at least two more wins down the stretch if they have any chance of reaching the postseason.
The Chiefs are going to be too much for the home side to handle this weekend though. Miami has one of the league’s top defenses, but Patrick Mahomes and company are just too good to be stopped at the moment.

ODDS: Kansas City (-7)
Over/Under: 49.5
NEW YORK JETS AT SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
December 13th – 4:05 pm ET – CenturyLink Field
The New York Jets were left heartbroken last week when the Las Vegas Raiders snatched the first victory of the season away from them with a mere five seconds left on the clock. They are now 12-0 and face a daunting trip to Seattle to take on the Seahawks.
Seattle is in a battle for top spot in the NFC West and will be looking to send a message to the rest of the league by smashing the Jets. After losing to the New York Giants last weekend, Seattle cannot afford many more slipups and will be a motivated side heading into Sunday’s battle with the Jets.
The spread is quite a large one though, with the Seahawks not winning a single game by more than 13 points this season. Go with the home team to win the game, but the visitors to cover the massive spread.
PICKS: New York
ODDS: Seattle (-13.5)
Over/Under: 47
GREEN BAY PACKERS AT DETROIT LIONS
December 13th– 4:25 pm ET – Ford Field
The Green Bay Packers remain one of the biggest threats in the NFC, boasting the conference’s second best record sitting at 9-3. A victory on Sunday will confirm their spot in the postseason though which they will be eager to do.
The come into the contest favoured by 7.5 points, but have won their last two games by a combined 30 points. Of their three losses this season, two did come on the road but that shouldn’t stop you from backing them against the Lions.
While Detroit did pull off the victory against Chicago last week, they are a struggling side who will be unable to keep up with one of the league’s elite sides. Go with the visitors to get the job done and cover the spread at Ford Field. The over is also worth backing, as both teams are capable of putting up points and allowing points.
