Last-Minute NFL Week 13 Picks: Underdogs Set to Cover Big

UPDATE: As NFL Week 13 heats up, fans are gearing up for a thrilling Sunday filled with action-packed matchups. The excitement is palpable as betting enthusiasts place last-minute wagers on underdogs poised to cover the spread. This Sunday, December 3, 2023, the stakes are high, and the underdogs are ready to shake things up!

With four prior matchups already seeing underdogs not only cover but secure outright victories, analysts are backing teams like the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns to continue this trend.

1 p.m. ET – Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts
The Texans visit the Colts today with a chance to capitalize on a struggling Indianapolis squad. Houston’s defense is on fire, leading the league by allowing just 264.3 yards per game and a mere 16.5 points. Quarterback Daniel Jones has faltered in recent games, which could spell trouble against this formidable defense. The projected score? Colts 24, Texans 21. The pick: Texans +3.5.

4:25 p.m. ET – Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers
The Raiders, sitting at 2-9, are looking to rebound after last week’s firing of offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. Despite this shakeup, questions linger about the Chargers’ performance following a dreadful 35-6 defeat to the Jaguars. With starting left tackle Joe Alt still sidelined, the Raiders have a chance to keep this game close. Projected score: Chargers 23, Raiders 17. The pick: Raiders +9.5.

1 p.m. ET – San Francisco 49ers at Cleveland Browns
The 49ers face a tough challenge against the Browns, who boast one of the league’s best defenses. After struggling with turnovers, quarterback Brock Purdy must deliver against a Cleveland squad that just recorded 10 sacks last week. The projected score is 49ers 23, Browns 20. The pick: Browns +4.5.

Monday, December 4 – New York Giants at New England Patriots
In a pivotal Monday night matchup, the Patriots enter as the AFC’s No. 1 seed, but face significant injuries on their offensive line. With key players like Will Campbell and Jared Wilson expected to miss time, the Giants’ defense, led by Brian Burns, could exploit this vulnerability. The projected score is Patriots 24, Giants 20. The pick: Giants +7.

Betting enthusiasts can expect an exhilarating day of football with potential upsets in the air. As teams clash, the underdogs are ready to rise.

Stay tuned as we bring you the latest updates and results throughout this action-packed Sunday!
