NFL Week 13 schedule: 5 best games to watch
Glancing at the NFL Week 13 schedule, these five games are the ones you can’t afford to miss once the weekend rolls around.
5. Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs (-9.5)
An AFC West battle with two teams fighting to play beyond the regular season. At 7-4 and on a four-game winning streak, the Chiefs are expected to take off over their final six games. It starts with Denver on Sunday night at Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City hasn’t lost to the Broncos since Week 2 of the 2015 season, but Denver comes in 6-5 and off a resounding victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Should the Broncos win, they move ahead of the Chiefs in the AFC West.

4. Washington Football Team at Las Vegas Raiders (-2.5)
Huge game for both sides. Washington is 5-6 but has won three straight including Monday night’s victory against the Seattle Seahawks. As for Las Vegas, it halted a three-game slide by handling the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Whoever loses falls into tough position in regards to the postseason, while the winner continues to fight for a spot in its respective conference.
3. Los Angeles Chargers at Cincinnati Bengals (-3)
The Chargers were looking like a potential Super Bowl threat early in the year, but a 2-4 stretch over the past six weeks has Los Angeles at 6-5 and on the cusp of a playoff berth. Meanwhile, the Bengals are 7-4 after hammering the Pittsburgh Steelers by a 41-10 count last Sunday. If Cincinnati wins, it continues to threaten in the AFC North while strengthening its seeding. For the Chargers, a loss might very well take them completely out of the picture.

2. Baltimore Ravens (-4.5) at Pittsburgh Steelers
A massive game for the rivals. Baltimore is 8-3 despite playing in some incredibly close games seemingly every week. The Ravens are the AFC’s top seed, but a loss combined with the Bengals beating the Chargers would drop them into the wild card category. For the Steelers, it’s about survival. At 5-5-1, Pittsburgh must beat the Ravens or realistically abandon all hope of getting to the playoffs.
1. New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills (-2.5)
The best game of the week, and one of the best games of the year. New England is riding the league’s longest current win streak at six, and comes into Buffalo trying to wrestle full control of the AFC East. Buffalo, which is a half-game behind the Patriots in the division, needs to win at home or face the strong possibility of not having a home playoff game.
