TAB: The hunter's guide for the 13th week of the NFL

Tabulation guides you through their 13th week NFL guide.

Best bet:

Tom Brady and the Patriots thrive in December, scoring 64-13 in the month since 2000. Nobody has more victories in December than Brady and this home duel against the Vikings announces as a good opportunity.

New England covers the gap at 60.8% when it is favored by four or more points at home, covering nine of its last 10 in this situation. They covered 19 of 26 after covering the gap in their previous game, 11 of 14 after conceding 15 points or less and 17 of 24 against teams with a winning record.

Minnesota has covered just two of nine goals from a win and only one of seven against teams with a winning record.

Next best: Less than 54.5 total points (Detroit Lions v Los Angeles Rams)

Betting on the bottom games in the Los Angeles Rams games has been a scary prospect so far this season, with their big power offensives terrorizing the defenses across the league.

However, a closer look at the statistics indicates that you want to position yourself in this situation. The sub-touch has reached 66% in the last decade with an outsider of 10 points or more.

This increases to 75% in the second half of the season. The sub-field has been eliminated at home in four of Lions' last five games and four of the last five. The submarine played in nine of the 12 road games against teams that lost a road record.

Best value: Los Angeles Chargers 13 and Under (v Pittsburgh)

Philip Rivers, who was often forgotten when it comes to NFL quarterbacks, quietly staged a season MVP.

In 11 games, Rivers completed 69.5% of his passes for 3,119 yards and 26 touchdowns against just six interceptions.

The Chargers rallied after their loss to the Broncos, with a big win at home against the Cardinals and have won seven of their last eight games. They are certainly able to get the shock at a good price here.
