Week 13 of the NFL season brings us into the last month of the calendar year. That means we’ll see plenty of games with playoff implications down the stretch of the season. As Week 13 gets underway, the Week 14 look-ahead lines have been posted, so let’s take a peek:
Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans
Look-ahead Line: Titans -6
It’s hard to believe that these two teams represented the AFC South in the playoffs last season. The Titans playoff hopes will be put to rest if they lose here.

Baltimore Ravens at Kansas City Chiefs
Look-ahead Line: Chiefs -9.5
The Ravens-Chiefs showdown could be a playoff matchup as the Chiefs are at the top of the AFC, while the Ravens hold the sixth and final playoff spot as of right now.
Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans
Look-ahead Line: Texans -3 (-120)
The Texans have won eight straight while the Colts have won five in a row. The Texans have been atop the AFC South for most of the season, but a win by the Colts will close the gap to one game.
Carolina Panthers at Cleveland Browns
Look-ahead Line: Browns -1
The resurgent Browns are still in the playoff race and will host a Panthers team that has lost three in a row heading into Week 13. Carolina is just 1-4 on the road this season.
Atlanta Falcons at Green Bay Packers
Look-ahead Line: Packers -7.5
The Packers playoff hopes hang by a thread. However, a visit from the 4-7 Falcons, who are 1-4 on the road should help their cause.
New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Look-ahead Line: Saints -10.5
The Saints are a massive road favorite against the struggling Buccaneers. This is a revenge game as you might recall that the Bucs beat the Saints in New Orleans in Week 1.
New York Jets at Buffalo Bills
Look-ahead Line: Bills -3
The Bills still have a chance to make the playoffs but they can’t slip up in games like this. The Jets have lost five in a row.
New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins
Look-ahead Line: Patriots -10
The Dolphins lost 38-7 at New England earlier this season, which was their first loss of the year. Including that loss, they’ve now lost six of eight.
New York Giants at Washington Redskins
Look-ahead Line: Redskins -3 (+100)
The Giants narrow path to the top of the NFC East took a really bad turn when they blew a 19-3 halftime lead in Philadelphia last week. However, facing the banged up Redskins presents them with a winnable game in Week 14.
Denver Broncos at San Francisco 49ers
Look-ahead Line: Broncos -4.5
The Broncos have a cakewalk of a schedule the rest of the way, including a visit to the 2-9 San Francisco 49ers. The Broncos are 2-3 in away games, though while the 49ers are 2-3 at home.
Cincinnati Bengals at Los Angeles Chargers
Look-ahead Line: Chargers -15.5
This game falls in a tough stretch for the Chargers after facing the Pittsburgh Steelers and before taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bengals are banged up but this could be a look-ahead spot.
Detroit Lions at Arizona Cardinals
Look-ahead Line: Lions -3 (-120)
Two teams that are fighting for draft position will go head-to-head in this battle. The Lions need wins, though, or Matt Patricia could find himself on the hot seat.
Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys
Look-ahead Line: Cowboys -3.5 (+100)
This will be a battle for first place in the NFC East. The Eagles have been awful this season, but still have everything in front of them if they can earn a win in Dallas.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Oakland Raiders
Look-ahead Line: Steelers -12.5
The Steelers have a tendency to play down to the level of their opponents as evidenced by a loss at Denver and a near-loss at Jacksonville.
Los Angeles Rams at Chicago Bears
Look-ahead Line: Rams -3.5
Offense meets defense in this potential playoff preview. This matchup is important for home-field advantage in the playoffs. Keep an eye on the status of Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who looks like he’ll be on the sidelines in Week 13.
Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks
Look-ahead Line: Seahawks -3 (+100)
The Seahawks are currently the No. 7 seed in the NFC at 6-5 wile the Vikings are No. 5 at 6-4-1. However, the Vikings play at New England this week. This game will be very important for playoff positioning.
