NFL Week 13 odds, picks, best bets: Jaguars roll over Bengals; Panthers, Titans, Broncos are live dogs

So, quick confession: I started to write a whole post with my best bets for the Thanksgiving week. I included one pick for every single Thanksgiving game and for the “Black Friday” game and then six more for the rest of Week 12. However, because I’m an idiot and was traveling a ton I don’t think it ever got published. So that’s neat of me for being stupid. 

The good news is my turkey and Amazon picks were TERRIBLE so you didn’t miss out on them at all. I went 1-3 on those games. The bad news is the rest of my picks from Week 13 were GREAT. I went 6-0! 

Now, normally I would have put those on SportsLine too. But, I only got the holiday picks in, making me look quite dumb. Again, travel, family, turkey, tryptophan, etc.

Fortunately the best news is if you ever want my best bets in their entirety, they will always be available on the PICK SIX PODCAST. If you already listen and you happen to listen on Spotify, send your Wrapped screenshots to @PickSixPod on Twitter/X or to me personally @WillBrinson on the same platform.

Let’s try and stay hot with a six pack of Pick Six picks for Week 13.

The Broncos are the hottest team in football, winning five straight games — for the first time since 2015-16 — after starting out 1-5 and coming off a five-win season in 2022. At 6-5 and very much “in the hunt,” they’re trying to become the fifth team in the Super Bowl era to start 1-5 and make the playoffs. Sean Payton is trying to become the first coach in NFL history to inherit a team with 12 or more losses the previous year and take them to the playoffs (the 2005 Saints went 3-13). This is a MASSIVE game: according to our SportsLine projection model, a Broncos win gives them a 20% increase in their odds to make the playoffs (up to 45%) and a 14% dip if they lose. The Texans have a similar bump: they have a 68% chance to make the playoffs with a win and just 31% if they lose. This is a de facto…
