The NFL season continues this Monday morning with a slightly reduced slate for Week 13 due to a host of games already played to celebrate Thanksgiving. As always, we have you covered with a full preview and betting tips for the key games of the morning below.
NFL Week 13 Monday Betting Tips
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals
5am (AEDT)
The Bengals might be just 4-7 on the season so far but this game will still have plenty of spice as they meet their divisional rivals in the Steelers. Having lost their last two games, the Bengals are all but out of the playoff picture, currently sitting four wins behind the Ravens and Steelers at the top of the AFC North. Injuries have riddled their season to date, but they have actually been quite impressive against the spread, going 6-5 so far.
The Steelers snapped a five game winning stread when they went down to the Browns last week, and are now in a tustle with the Ravens for the AFC North crown. They are 8-3 on the season straight up as well as 8-3 against the spread, the second best mark in the league. Defence has been the catalyst to the Steelers success this season, ranking third in the league allowing just 16.9 points per game.
Think the unders is the play here given the form of this Steelers defence. 47.5 seems a touch high given they have allowed just 18.8 points over their last six.

Philadelphia Eagles at Baltimore Ravens
8.25am (AEDT)
The game of the week, in my opinion, sees the Ravens hosting the Eagles in one of the mid-morning slots. After a shaky start to the season, the Eagles have hit their straps over the last few months, winning seven straight games, the longest current win streak in the league outside of the Lions. They have covered the spread in five of their last six and their offence has been on fire, putting up 31.6 points per game over those six.
It’s been a pretty similar case for the Ravens this season, who lost their first two games of the year but have since gone on to win eight of their next 10. They currently have the same amount of wins as the Steelers in the AFC North, but are 2nd in the conference with one extra loss. They are the No.2 rated offence in the league, putting gup 30.3 points per game.
Likely one of the higher totals we will see all year at 50.5, but I still love the overs here. These two offences have been firing on all cylinders of late, and combined, they have scored under 25 points in just one of their last 12 games.
Over 50.5

San Francisco 49ers at Buffalo Bills
12.20pm (AEDT)
The marquee fixture on Monday sees the Bills hosting the 49ers from 12.20pm. The Bills are one of the hottest teams in the league, having won their last six games on the spin, covering the spread in five of those. They are 9-2 on the season and have a comfortable four game lead in the AFC East, but will continue to push as they look to sure up the home field advantage in the playoffs.
It’s been a tumultuous season for the 49ers, riddled by injuries to key skill position players. They currently sit dead last in the NFC West but are amazingly just one win behind the Seahawks in first place in what is an incredibly competitive division. As they continue to get injured players back in their lineup, they’ll fancy their chances of making a late playoffs push. Starting QB Brock Purdy is currently listed as questionable for the Sunday night clash against the Bills with a shoulder concern.
The Bills start as 5.5 point favourites at home, which I think is a touch low given how good their offence has been of late. They have put up 29.6 points per game over their last six games, all wins, and have won four of those by six points or more.
Bills -5.5
