The Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals will stage a rematch of last season's AFC Championship Game when the teams collide on Sunday. Last season, the Bengals upset the Chiefs, 27-24 in overtime, to advance to the Super Bowl. This season, Kansas City (9-2) has the best record in the AFC, while Cincinnati (7-4) is tied with the Ravens for the lead in the AFC North. Kansas City is a two-point favorite in the latest NFL odds from Caesars Sportsbook, but which side should you back with your NFL bets? The game is one of 16 on the loaded Week 13 NFL schedule. Elsewhere around the league, Deshaun Watson makes his return to the field for the Browns, and the Eagles and Vikings attempt to clinch playoff berths. Before you make any Week 13 NFL picks or NFL parlays, you need to see what SportsLine senior analyst Larry Hartstein has to say.
A former lead writer for Covers and The Linemakers, Hartstein combines a vast network of Vegas sources with an analytical approach he honed while working for Pro Football Focus. He entered the 2022 NFL season 427-344 all-time on NFL side picks (plus $3,764 for $100 players), including 394-330 against the spread. Hartstein went 68-50 ATS and 8-3 on money-line plays last season for a profit of $1,552.
Hartstein also is 22-14 on his best bets this season, including 16-8 the past eight weeks. Anyone who has consistently followed him is way up.
Now, Hartstein has locked in his confident picks for three Week 13 games, and has a parlay that would pay almost 6-1. You can only see his picks at SportsLine.
Top Week 13 NFL parlay picksAfter closely studying all 16 Week 13 games, Hartstein loves the Browns to cover against the Texans. Cleveland (4-7) is coming off a victory over Tampa Bay, while Houston (1-9-1) has the worst record in the league and is on track to land the No. 1 pick in next year's NFL Draft.
Hartstein likes the matchup of Browns running back Nick Chubb facing the Texans defense. Houston allows 4.9 yards per rush; just four teams give up more. Chubb ranks third in the league in rushing (94.5 yards per game). "Nick Chubb should have a massive day," Hartstein told SportsLine. "Lay the points."
