NFL Week 13 (Thanksgiving Edition) Parlay Bets, Gambling Tips, and Forecasts

Unleashing the Creative Chaos! December 10, 2024 Gimme dat Barkley MVP! That's the buzz after week 12, as the Philly Eagles' running back, Saquon Barkley, lit up the Rams in a massive W for the Birds.

Week 12 brought some nail-biting finishes, and we're already pumped for Thanksgiving week! Let's dive into the upcoming NFL schedule.

Thanksgiving Day

New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys

Things aren't exactly peachy for the Giants right now. With a tough road ahead, they'll likely face an underdog label for every game this season. After a lackluster 30-7 loss at home to the Bucs, the team is limping towards the finish line. QB Tommy DeVito couldn't ignite the offense, and there's just not enough zing on either side of the ball.

We couldn't ignore the Cowboys after their impressive performance against the Commanders. Despite the turmoil the team is dealing with, they managed to secure a win on the road. Cooper Rush had a solid outing, pushing the ball for 247 yards and 2 TDs, while running back Rico Dowdle tore up the turf with 86 yards. The icing on the cake? KaVontae Turpin's electrifying 99-yard TD return!

This Thanksgiving match could go either way, but we're backing the Cowboys to hold strong.

Bet: Cowboys Moneyline @ -198

Sunday, December 1

Indianapolis Colts @ New England Patriots

The Colts are still in the playoff picture, despite a 5-7 record. With the AFC South still up for grabs, they have a chance to mount a late-season comeback. Indy struggled against the Lions last week, losing 24-6. Their offense needs to find some punch, as Anthony Richardson failed to throw a TD pass and still relies too heavily on his legs. The running game needs to click, starting with Jonathan Taylor.

The Patriots dropped a game to the rejuvenated Dolphins, as they continue to adjust to the arrival of QB Drake Maye. Despite the lack of weapons around him, Maye has shown promise with 222 yards and a TD.

Colts need this one, and badly. We think they'll rise to the occasion.

Bet: Colts Moneyline @ -148

Los Angeles Rams @ New Orleans Saints

The Rams nearly stole one against the Eagles, before Barkley took the game away. Though they put up a good fight, they allowed the star back to rack up 255 yards on the night. Both offense and defense had solid showings, with Stafford throwing for 243 yards and 2 TDs, and Kyren Williams hurrying for 72 yards and a score. However, it all came up short.

The Saints are on a two-game winning streak and have seen an uptick in performance since interim head coach Darren Rizzi took over for Dennis Allen. At 4-7, a playoff run is unlikely, but spirits are high.

This could be a high-scoring, tightly contested game. The Rams have the firepower to pull it out.

Bet: Rams Moneyline @ -130

San Francisco 49ers @ Buffalo Bills

The 49ers entered the season as the Super Bowl favorites, but they've hit some turbulence. After a 38-10 loss in Green Bay, they're currently at the bottom of the NFC West, dealing with numerous injuries. Key players like QB Brock Purdy, DE Nick Bosa, and star offensive lineman Trent Williams are all sidelined, making a playoff push challenging.

Buffalo, on the other hand, is cruising. After defeating the Chiefs in week 11, they're generating buzz as a potential top NFL team. With Josh Allen playing like an MVP, and James Cook dominating on the ground, the Bills show no signs of slowing down. Throw in a solid defense, and the Bills look primed for a deep playoff run.

Prepare for the Bills steamroller to roll on.

Bet: Bills Moneyline @ -310
