Matthew Freedman’s NFL Week 13 Early Bets and Trends

For the past few NFL seasons, each Sunday night I've written an early bets piece highlighting some applicable trends I've noticed for the upcoming week.

I'm not a trends bettor, but I find that historical situational data helps me identify spots I should consider further when analyzing games.

So here are some trends for Week 13 as well as a few early bets I like based on the current lines in the market and my early personal projections, which I will update throughout the week along with our premium BettingPros spread projections.

If you like a shorter underdog, historically it has been more profitable to bet it on the moneyline than against the spread. This has been the case for underdogs of less than a touchdown.
