Week 13 NFL Point Spreads

5) San Francisco (+7) at New Orleans

Someone forgot to tell San Francisco they were supposed to be terrible this year, because they have been respectable at 5-6. The 49ers three game winning streak came to an end at St. Louis (20-17) last Sunday, but they proved they will fight on the road, unlike earlier this season.

New Orleans is 7-4 after beating Atlanta for the second time this season. The win ties the Saints for the second best record in the conference with Dallas and Seattle. It was also likely the knockout punch for a fading Falcons team. New Orleans has dropped their last two home games to Baltimore and Cincinnati, so they must reestablish home field advantage this week. Week 13 NFL Point Spread 49ers +7

4) Jacksonville (+1.5) at Miami

Jacksonville is 6-5 after a 27-24 loss at Buffalo. It was the fourth loss in five road games for the Jaguars, an unacceptable figure. However, the Jaguars did play well in Philadelphia a few weeks back, and they hope that staying within the state of Florida changes their road fortunes.

Miami is 5-6, but has won four straight games to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Dolphins believe their run can continue even with running back, Ronnie Brown out. That means more pressure on quarterback, Joey Harrington. Miami may need to run the table to make the playoffs, and they have another tough game with New England visiting next week. Week 13 NFL Point Spread Jaguars +1.5

3) Dallas (-3.5) at NY Giants

New York is 6-5 after losing 24-21 at Tennessee. The Giants blew a 21-0 lead in the 4th quarter of that game. Quarterback, Eli Manning is in a major funk right now, and a good portion of the fans seem to have turned against him. New York is also still banged up, but they must somehow turn it around and play one of their best games of the year.

Dallas is 7-4 and has won three straight games. They have also won four out of five games since quarterback Tony Romo took over the helm. The NFC East conference was supposed to be the toughest heading into this season, but with Washington and Philadelphia seemingly out of the picture, it comes down to these two teams. Week 13 NFL Point Spread Cowboys -3.5

2) Seattle (+3) at Denver

Seattle (7-4) is coming off a home win over Green Bay that marked the return of their quarterback, Matt Hasselbeck. Hasselbeck is the key to their playoff run, and he should improve as his knee gets better and better. Of course, the Seahawks play in the NFC West, which means they should be able to win the division with Coach Mike Holmgren playing quarterback.

Denver is also 7-4, but they are still smarting from their Thanksgiving night loss at Kansas City. Coach Mike Shanahan has seen enough of quarterback Jake Plummer, and he is making the switch to Jay Cutler. Cutler has all the physical tools, although it is rare for a playoff caliber team to make a switch at this point in the year, especially to a rookie. Week 13 NFL Point Spread Seahawks +3

1) Baltimore (+3) at Cincinnati

This is the second Thursday night telecast for the NFL Network after they did the Kansas City and Denver game last week. As a lot of readers know, the NFL Network is not available on all cable packages, and that means a lot of fans are shut out from this game. You can be sure the commissioner’s office is flooded with emails, and perhaps this will force all cable providers to start carrying it.

As for the game itself, Baltimore is 9-2 and in control in the AFC North. They are also fighting for a first round bye in the playoffs. Cincinnati (6-5) has won two straight games, and seems to be hitting their stride as they fight for a playoff berth. These teams met on November 5th in Baltimore, with the Ravens winning, 26-20. Week 13 NFL Point Spread Ravens +3
