Week 13 NFL Upset Picks
This week’s upset picks are focusing on three teams offering decent plus-money returns. I’m not convined one good (better) offensive showing in Pittsburgh is enough to warrant them being 5.5-point faovrites. Then we move into targeting our underdog picks on the Panthers with a new coach and also on the 10-1 NFL-best Philadelphia Eagles.
NFL Upset Picks 1: Cardinals vs Steelers
It’s hard to get too confident about the Cardinals even covering, much less winning outright on the road after last week’s complete no-show versus the Rams where they lost 37-14 at home.
They did keep it close the week prior losing 21-16 in Houston and won 25-23 versus Atlanta the home before that. Still, they’re 2-10 SU on the year.
The Steelers are 7-4 SU and currently in the playoffs They won last week 16-10 in Cincinnati and with Mike Sullivan calling the plays after Matt Canada got fired, Pittsburgh’s offense finally showed some life and finally out-gained an opponent (421-222) for the first time this season.
But, that still only resulted in 16 points. Pittsburgh averages just 16.5 PPG (28th), which is only just below Arizona’s 17.2 (25th).
A few notes though. The shackles may be off now that Canada is gone but this is still not a good Steelers’ offense. They lack the ability to run away from anyone and they got that win over a Bengals team playing without Joe Burrow and instead with backup Jake Browning.
The Cards have already seen Kyler Murray and James Connor return from injury and while they were hoping to get TE Zach Ertz back, he has instead been released to search for a contending team to join. They likely felt confident in allowing that request because fellow TE Trey McBride has stepped up this season and has averegd 70.2 yards in his past five games.
Pittsburgh’s seven wins have come by 6, 4, 4, 7, 7, 5 and 4 points. Close games like that mean the underdog always has a chance to cause an upset.
NFL Upset Picks: Cardinals (+200)
Trying new things in retirement, so let’s steal @AdamSchefter job for a day…
TE Zach Ertz has requested & been granted his release from the Arizona Cardinals.
The 3-Time Pro Bowler plans to sign with a contender and make a run at his 2nd Super Bowl ring.

NFL Upset Picks 2: Panthers vs Buccaneers
Here’s another team that’s hard to get behind in the 1-10 Panthers who score an average of just 15.7 PPG (29th). Bryce Young and the offense have looked completely inept scoring just 10, 10, 13, 13 and 15 points in their past five games.
That definitely doesn’t sound like a team you want to back on the road. But Frank Reich was fired as head coach this week along with their quarterbacks and running backs coaches. So a change of voice, approach and that “new coach bump” could possibly give us a Panthers team with some more life this week.
On paper this looks like a much better Bucs team, but they’re just 4-7 SU themselves, have one win in their past seven games, have just allowed 27 points in back-to-back games and there’s no guarantee Baker Mayfield is 100-percent or even plays on Sunday after suffering an ankle injury last week.

NFL Upset Picks 3: 49ers vs Eagles
Two favorites in the Super Bowl 58 odds meet here and the 49ers will be looking for a measure of revenge from last year’s NFC Conference Championship Game where San Fran went to Philadelphia without injured starting quarterback Brock Purdy and got routed 31-7
These two could again meet up in the playoffs this year with the 49ers 8-3 and first in the NFC West and Philadelphia 10-1 and first in the NFC East.
Philly just came off a hard-fought 37-34 overtime win over the Bills last week in bad weather which saw their defense play 95 snaps. So they could very well be gassed here.
But are you telling me their isn’t a value on the Super Bowl finalists, who are 10-1 SU, 7-2-2 ATS, both league bests, who just beat the Super Bowl Champion Chiefs two weeks ago and who’s starting QB Jalen Hurts is 26-2 SU in his last 28 starts? The odds may be against Philly here, but they’re certainly worth consideration in the NFL Week 13 upset picks.
