Seahawks vs. Cowboys odds

Opening line

These teams played on Thanksgiving Thursday but received contrasting results. Seattle got slammed by San Francisco while Dallas dominated Washington. That has the Cowboys opening as touchdown faves in Week 13, with that spread jumping as high as -8 on Sunday night. The total hit the board at 46 points at most shops.

Chargers vs. Patriots odds

Opening line

Both teams come into this contest off Week 12 losses. The Patriots lost 10-7 to the New York Giants and the Chargers dropped a 20-10 decision to the Baltimore Ravens. Oddmakers opened the Chargers as 6-point road favorites with a total of 39.5.

Lions vs. Saints odds

Opening line

Some bookies opened the Lions as 3-point road chalk in NOLA while other shops came a bit later with -3.5. Those are turning into Detroit -4 as of Sunday evening. The Lions have had 10 days to get right after a bad Thanksgiving Thursday showing and the Saints have big-name injuries on both sides of the ball.

Weather

Falcons vs. Jets odds

Opening line

Post-Wilson life is just as bad a Pre-Wilson life for the Jets, who took one on the chin from the rival Dolphins this past Friday. As for Atlanta, it won a crucial divisional game against the Saints and seems to be figuring out something on offense, averaging 24.5 points in the past four games. The Falcons opened -2.5 and we could see -3 across the industry by Monday afternoon.

Weather

Cardinals vs. Steelers odds

Opening line

Kyler Murray has made little difference to the Cardinals' success since returning from injury. Arizona was as short as a 3.5-point road underdog on the look-ahead line, but after getting rolled by the Rams while Pittsburgh picked off the shorthanded Bengals, this line opened Steelers -6.5. It sits at -6 at most books as of Sunday night.

Weather

Colts vs. Titans odds

Opening line

The look-ahead line for this AFC South showdown was Titans -1.5 but after the Colts crushed Tampa Bay and Tennessee crept past Carolina, the market has flipped. Indianapolis opened at -1.5 and is up to -2 across many books on Sunday night.

Dolphins vs. Commanders odds

Opening line

Washington got waxed on Thanksgiving Thursday and fired its defensive coordinator just in time for this non-conference clash with the Dolphins in Week 13. The look-ahead line was Miami -6.5 but oddsmakers tacked on an extra field goal after the Fins flattened the Jets on Black Friday. This opener is Miami -9.5 with the total hitting the board at 49.5 points. Both of those numbers are on the rise Sunday night.

Weather

Broncos vs. Texans odds

Opening line

A few weeks ago, no one would have given a rat's ass about this game. But with the Broncos on a five-game run and the Texans flirting with a wild-card ticket, this AFC Sunday showdown holds plenty of weight across the conference. The look-ahead line was Houston -3 and even with the Texans taking a tumbler to the Jaguars, books have stuck with the field goal spread.

Weather

Panthers vs. Buccaneers odds

Opening line

A battle at the bottom of the worst division in football. Yuck. The Buccaneers opened as high as 6.5-point home chalk but the early action doesn't agree and has taken this NFC South spread to Tampa Bay -5.5 in the first few hours. The total opened at 39 and is down to 38 points.

Weather

Browns vs. Rams odds

Opening line

The look-ahead line was Rams +1 but with the Browns potentially losing QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson, WR Amari Cooper, and star DE Myles Garrett to injuries in Week 12, bookies reopened with Los Angeles as a 4.5-point home fave.

49ers vs. Eagles odds

Opening line

The main event of Week 13 opened shortly after the Eagles escaped overtime with a rainy win over the Bills on Sunday. Books pegged this one as short as a pick'em with others giving a slight nod to San Francisco -1. That spread has since climbed to 49ers -2, with the visitor enjoying 10 days off after winning on Thursday and some notable injuries to the Eagles defense. The total is bouncing between 45.5 and 46.5 on Sunday night. 

Weather

Chiefs vs. Packers odds

Opening line

Kansas City opened as a touchdown favorite in Lambeau Field but with the Cheeseheads getting a 10-day gap in action thanks to their big win at Detroit on Thursday, this spread has come off the key number and sits Chiefs -6.5 on Sunday night. The total opened at 42 and has climbed as high as 43 points. FYI: keep an eye on the forecast for Sunday Night Football. Could be a classic Wisconsin winter in Week 13.
