Here are suggestions for trying to beat the odds.

NFL Week 13 picks against the spread

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (-1.5). ATLANTA FALCONS: The Falcons are rested after their bye, while the Bolts are flying around the country on a short break. Still, I just don’t trust the Falcons, who will completely squander their lead in the NFC South. If Atlanta were more reputable, they wouldn’t be house dogs in this place. SELECTION: Chargers -1.5

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (-2.5). NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: Anthony Richardson’s numbers are so bad. I find it difficult to trust him. The Pats aren’t good, but they usually try hard. PICK: Patriots +2.5

HOUSTON TEXANS (-3.5). JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: I want the Jags to win outright this week. The Texans are cheaters, the Jags are on their way out, and Trevor Lawrence is back. PICK: Jaguars +3.5

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS at NEW YORK JETS (-1.5): Fishy line. Why the hell do the Jets give points when they stink? I’ll feel worse trusting them than I did in Seattle. PICK: Seahawks +1.5

PITTSBURGH STEELERS at CINCINNATI BENGALS (-3): It’s hard to compete against Mike Tomlin as an underdog. And the Bengals just can’t seem to get it done this season. PICK: Steelers +3

TENNESSEE TITANS at WASHINGTON COMMANDER (-6.5): The commanders have fought, but Will Levis can’t stop trying to change everything. The Titans quarterback has 13 giveaways in just eight starts this season. Jayden Daniels usually takes much better care of the ball. SELECTION: Commanders -6.5

ARIZONA CARDINALS at MINNESOTA VIKINGS (-3.5): It’s difficult to fully trust any of these teams. I think I’ll expect Kyler Murray to score points while Sam Darnold gives points here. PICK: Cardinals +3.5

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (-6.5). CAROLINA PANTHERS: The Bucs are going for the NFC South crown. Castle of the week. PICK: Buccaneers -6.5

LOS ANGELES RAMS (-2.5). NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: The Saints could be back shortly after firing Dennis Allen? PICK: Saints +2.5

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES at BALTIMORE RAVENS (-3): It looks to be a great game between two of the best teams in the NFL. While the Eagles defense has been good, I don’t know if Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry are really being stopped by anyone right now. There’s also the question of whether Philly’s passing attack can properly exploit Baltimore’s biggest weakness. The Ravens also need this game more than the Eagles. PICK: Ravens -3

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS at Buffalo Bills (-6.5): The 49ers are on the ropes. The Bills are ready to deliver the knockout blow. SELECTION: Bills -6.5

CLEVELAND BROWNS at DENVER BRONCOS (-5.5): The Broncos are better than their record suggests. The Browns won’t be able to get up for their Week 13 game like they did in Week 12. PICK: Broncos -5.5
