Well, it’s lucky Week 13 of the NFL (or unlucky Week 13 if you’re the Saints’ Taysom Hill), and that means you’ve got a whole slate of games coming up on Sunday.
Of course, while we’re primarily interested in this Sunday’s NFL odds, it’s also a huge weekend for college football, with all the big pre-bowl conference championships on the line.
Naturally, we’ll include those odds at the bottom of the article, because let’s be real: If you’re a fan of the pigskin, you’re probably just as interested in college football betting as you are on NFL betting.
It’s going to be a heck of a weekend!

The only line we’re really confident about this week – at least at first blush – is the Falcons +11 at home against the Buccaneers.
We think Brady and Co. will win the game, but Falcons QB Joe Flacco has been activated off the Reserve/COVID-19 list and should be ready to go. He may not get revenge for the worst day of his life, but Atlanta shouldn’t lose by double digits.
The injury-depleted Bucs – even with MVP frontrunner Brady under center – have been offensively offensive over the last few weeks through the air, and we don’t see Leonard Fournette scoring three TDs on the ground for the second week in a row.
We aren’t going to risk too much on the underdogs, but $5 of Bitcoin seems reasonable. Unless, of course, we lose and Bitcoin goes up like 10,000% over the next couple of years. That would be a real bad beat…

Truth be told, we follow college ball perhaps less than we ought, but we know this much: If you’re going to bet on Alabama in the SEC title game, exercise caution.
Nick Saban’s team – at +202 against the Bulldogs – is the biggest underdog they’ve been in a long time. The payout’s great.
But the Tide is not rolling like usual this year. They’ve only got one loss, but they’ve won several very close games over teams they should have trounced with ease.
We’re actually taking the Bulldogs to cover the 6.5 points, here.
