NFL predictions, Week 13: Betting trends, odds updates

The Odds Shark NFL prediction computer said the Cowboys would beat Oakland by seven and that the Ravens would beat the Steelers by two. After seeing both of those predictions hit, is this the week the computer takes it to the next level and churns out a ton of profits?

"The Steelers pick was especially impressive, because it picked a 21-19 final in a game that ended up 22-20," said Jack Randall, who has helped program the computer to spit out the predictions.

"It was out to lunch in the first game Thursday, picking the Packers to win by a single point, but the formula didn't properly weigh the impact of Aaron Rodgers sitting."

Sunday sees Tennessee continuing its 5-0 ATS run on the road, winning a squeaker in Indianapolis. And the computer likes road teams to win in the two games where betting lines were even (Chicago to win at Minnesota and Cincinnati to win at San Diego).

The computer believes New England will cover a big road spread at Houston and extend their career mark to 5-1 against the Texans. Denver will beat Kansas City for the second time in three weeks, but won't cover the 5.5-point spread, according to the formula.

In the Monday Nighter, the computer believes the Seahawks will hold off New Orleans in a high-scoring 31-30 affair. Both teams have been profitable Monday Night bets, but the Seahawks see a terrible trend of 2-11-1 ATS in the past 14 seasons after they come off a bye week.
