Every Sunday night, oddsmakers drop the upcoming week’s NFL betting lines, and if you are wondering if the opening spreads look accurate, we’ve got you covered.
Each week, FOX Sports Betting Analysts Geoff Schwartz, Sam Panayotovich and Jason McIntyre will break down the opening numbers in this space and point out if they think the line is too low, too high or just right.
So, without further ado, let’s jump into their analysis for Week 13, starting with the best game on the slate, featuring the San Francisco 49ers taking on the Philadelphia Eagles on FOX Sports and the FOX Sports App.
49ers (-2.5) @ Eagles
Jason McIntyre: Too Low
Philadelphia isn’t favored to win despite having the best record in the NFL. Per FOX Sports Research, the Eagles are the first 10-1 team to be a home underdog in the Super Bowl era. What gives? There’s a reason for that.
Philly will be exhausted after the Monday Night thriller in K.C., followed by an overtime win over the Buffalo Bills, where the defense was on the field for 92 plays.
Conversely, the 49ers are coming off extra rest, having played on Thanksgiving, and there will be extra motivation after losing the NFC title game last year.
Chargers (-6) @ Patriots
Geoff Schwartz: Just right
This number is just right. As long as Brandon Staley coaches the Chargers, it will never just be a regular drama-free game.
The Chargers are far better than the Patriots at every position on the field, especially at quarterback, but are just not trustworthy.
Lions (-4.5) @ Saints
Geoff Schwartz: Too Low
You can never wager on a game based solely on the results of one weekend.
What would this line be if the Lions had beaten the Packers? It’s probably near 6, and you’d be tempted to lay it with how poorly the Saints have played this season.
The Saints have beaten the Titans, Panthers, Patriots, Bucs and Bears. They stink.
The Lions are good.
Cardinals @ Steelers (-5.5)
Sam Panayotovich: Too high
The Cardinals are certainly feistier with Kyler Murray….
