WEEK 13 BETTING BREAKDOWN

Some key Week 13 games between playoff contending teams that should generate sizable betting action include:

Cleveland at Tennessee (-3): How many years have Browns fans waited for their team to be in the playoff chase in December? The Browns have posted only two winning seasons and one playoff appearance (2002) since returning to the NFL. Both teams are 7-3 heading into Week 12 and the Browns play at Jacksonville while the Titans play for first place against the Colts in the AFC South. Both the Browns and Titans rely more heavily on their running game with each ranking top 5 in rushing yards at just over 150 per game and rushing attempts per game (31 to 32).

LA Rams (-2) at Arizona: There is much to settle down the stretch in the NFC West. The Rams (7-3) are currently on top of the division with the tiebreaker over the Seahawks (7-3), and the Cardinals (6-4) can make their case for being the division’s top team with a win at New England and then a home ‘Dog win over the Rams. Containing QB Kyler Murray as a runner (619 rush yards, 10 TDs) is key to slowing the Cardinals offense, and the Rams have a top-5 run defense.  Los Angeles boasts a strong defensive line and leads the league in total defense (292 yards per game and 4.7 yards per play) and is No. 2 in the NFC in sacks. The Cardinals defense has been inconsistent, and has allowed at least 28 points in their last four games heading into Week 12. The Rams offense has generated at least 410 yards offense in five of their six road games this season. The Cardinals and Rams will meet again in Week 17.
