The jockeying for playoff position in the 2021 NFL season has begun. With six weeks left in the regular season, teams are looking to solidify their spots and maybe even lock in the top seed in the conference. Entering Week 13 of the season, the 8-3 Baltimore Ravens sit at the top of the AFC with a .727 winning percentage, which puts them ever so slightly ahead of the New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans, both of whom are 8-4. In the NFC, the Arizona Cardinals are setting the pace with a 9-2 record, which places them ahead of the 9-3 Green Bay Packers.
But before we look at all the Week 13 money lines, totals and point spreads, here’s where you can find the top betting sites for NFL football in 2021, as well as NFL MVP betting resources.
NFL Week 13 – Sunday Slate
Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Date & Location: Sunday, December 5 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, PA
Game Time: 4:25 p.m EAT
How to Watch: CBS
The Steelers looked awful in Week 12 in losing 41-10 to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals led 31-3 at the half and ended an 11-game losing skid to the Steelers. The loss put the Steelers on a three-game winless skid for the season. Baltimore played a tough game against the Browns, but came away with a 16-10 victory to put them on a two-game winning streak.

Baltimore has not looked great in its past five games, but the team has won three of those matchups. With this being a rivalry game and with the Steelers on the ropes, I expect Baltimore to come out in Pittsburgh and make a statement and get the win.
Pick: Baltimore to win
Arizona Cardinals vs. Chicago Bears
Date & Location: Sunday, December 5 at Soldier Field in Chicago, IL
Game Time: 1:00 p.m. ET
How to Watch: FOX
The good news for the Cardinals is starting quarterback Kyler Murray and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins are both expected to play for Arizona, who is coming off a bye week. The records for these teams might lead one to believe the Cardinals (9-2) will blow out the Bears (4-7), but Chicago has done a good job of hanging with their opponents even when the team fails to get the win. Expect this to be a competitive game on the scoreboard. The Cardinals will win, but it won’t be a blowout.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons
Date & Location: Sunday, December 5 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA
Game Time: 1:00 p.m. ET
How to Watch: FOX
Tampa Bay is a huge favorite in this game and one of the main reasons for that is Atlanta is 31st in the NFL in pass defense this season. That fact does not bode well with Tom Brady leading the way for the Buccaneers. The spread in this game might look risky, but Tampa is 4-1 against the spread when the line hits double digits. With that, I think Brady and the Bucs cover.
