NFL Week 13 Betting Odds Preview
The New Orleans Saints will look to extend their eight-game winning streak and all but lock up the NFC South division this week when they face the Atlanta Falcons.
At Bovada Sportsbook, the Saints are 3-point road favorites. Last week the Saints won their eighth straight with a 31-3 win over the short-handed Denver Broncos as a 17-point favorite. New Orleans has won five straight against the spread and is 5-3 ATS during the winning streak. As a road favorite, the Saints are 9-1 SU and 7-3 ATS in their last 10.
The Falcons surprised the Las Vegas Raiders last week in a 43-6 blowout win as 3.5-point underdogs. Atlanta has been a profitable UNDER play for totals bettors lately at 4-1 UNDER in their last five and 6-2 UNDER in their last eight. As an underdog, the Falcons are 9-3 ATS in their last 12.

Bears have gone UNDER in 5 of last 6 at home
In the NFC North this week, cellar-dwellers meet up when the Chicago Bears host the Detroit Lions as a 3-point favorite.
Chicago has lost five straight but is 4-1 ATS. At home, the Bears are a disappointing 2-4 SU and ATS in their last six, and for totals bettors they’re 5-1 UNDER in those six games.
