Week 13 NFL Betting Tips for DFS & Spreads

Publish Date: 12/04/2021
Fact checked by: Heather Simmons

TNF Recap

Week 13 of the NFL kicked off with the Cowboys over the Saints 27 to 17. The Cowboys defense was electric with five turnovers and a touchdown. Despite four interceptions, Saints’ Taysom Hill threw for a respectable 264 yards with two touchdowns and a hundred yards rushing. It was enough to keep this game close, along with just an average night from Prescott.

However, Prescott’s weapons looked good, with Lamb, Gallup, & Schultz all catching five passes and giving solid DFS production. Pollard also ran for a 58 yard touchdown, which is the longest touchdown for a Cowboy running back in the last 5 years. The football odds comparison tool is a great way to stay up to date with the changing odds for all football betting.

Injury News

Week 12 saw yet more injured running backs. McCaffrey will be out for the rest of the year, sinking many fantasy owners. Running backs Cook, Swift, Gordon, and McKissic will all be out this week as well. Furthermore Henderson, Robinson, & CEH are all questionable.

Big time playmakers Samuel (49ers), Waller, Arnold (Jaguars), & QB Daniel Jones are all officially out as well. Other stars like Kyler Murray, Jalen Hurts, Allen Robinson, OBJ, & Kadarius Toney are all questionable to doubtful themselves.

The biggest story is that Bucs’ Antonio Brown will be suspended three games for faking his vaccination documents.

Week 13 DFS Picks

QB Tom Brady (TB)

Brady will go up against Atlanta for the second time this year after throwing five touchdowns against the Falcons in the second week. This game could go more towards Fournette like last week, but it also could be another big game for Brady.

RB Elijah Mitchell (SF)

Mitchell missed the first matchup against Seattle earlier this year, but the other rookie (Sermon) put up 89 yards. Mitchell returned last week from injury and had over 17o total yards plus scored a touchdown. He is a great play against the Seahawks who are 31st against running backs.

WR Hunter Renfrow (LV)

With Waller out this week Renfrow will be the top target for Carr. Renfrow has been targeted at least seven times in eight games this year. The Raiders play Washington who are 4th worst against wide receivers. Therefore, the Raiders will throw it to their favorite target in this close matchup.

TE Jack Doyle (IND)

In the last three games for Doyle he has seen more usage, being targeted five times in each of those three matchups. The Texans have been bad against tight ends all year long, and with Doyle catching six for 81 yards. Therefore, Doyle should be a cheap tight end option for DFS.

Week 13 Matchup Previews

Minnesota Vikings (-7) at Detroit Lions
Prop Bet: Nwangwu Touchdown & Vikings Win (+333)

Minnesota has only been given a seven point spread, mainly because in their first matchup they lost 17 to 19. This game has some similarities: Cook is out, both teams have losing records (especially Detroit without a win), & Goff is still QB and still doing Goff things. This time however Lions’ running back Swift will be out, he has been the lone bright spot of the Lions this year With him in the Lions could have won, but luck and lions don’t go hand in hand.

Rookie Kene Nwangwu will be the backup and predominant pass-catching RB behind Mattison. Nwangwu has flashed brilliance on special teams and will have a real opportunity to shine. When the Vikings go up on the Lions they will run, and at this point in the season, why not see what their 4th round pick has to offer. He was picked in the same round as Carter, Stevenson, & Hubbard who all have scored at least three touchdowns this year.

San Francisco 49ers (-3/-175 Money Line) at Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks won the first matchup, but now the 49ers have a healthy Garoppolo, Mitchell, and Aiyuk (who is no longer in trouble with his coach). Deebo will be out, but the Seahawks are falling apart without Carson at running back and with a not-so-healthy Wilson at QB. This should be an easy win for the 49ers, even on the road.
