"First, analytics writer Seth Walder breaks down three stat trends that could be pivotal this weekend. Then fantasy writer Eric Moody runs through five players who are rostered in under 50% of ESPN leagues as of Saturday and could be started in a jam. That's followed by NFL analyst Ben Solak's three potential surprises, NFL analyst Matt Bowen's key matchup to watch and sports betting analyst Pamela Maldonado's favorite bet for Week 13."
"How much of the gap between the Giants and Patriots is driven by their schedules? The Giants (2-10) and Patriots (10-2) aren't even in the same stratosphere in the standings. And the advanced numbers are fond of the Patriots, who have the No. 1 passing offense in terms of EPA per dropback. But ESPN's Football Power Index still believes there's a much smaller gap between these two teams playing Monday because of strength of schedule."
Week 13 of the NFL season proceeds after four Thanksgiving and Black Friday upsets, leaving 12 games on the slate. Three statistical trends could influence outcomes this weekend. Five low-rostered fantasy players could be viable emergency starts. Three potential surprise teams are identified along with a single key matchup to monitor and a favored betting selection for Week 13. Multiple quarterback situations carry intrigue, including Pittsburgh's screen offense versus Buffalo, Trevor Lawrence's fantasy upside, upset possibilities for Tennessee and Cleveland, expected offensive limitations in Texans-Colts, and concern surrounding Brock Purdy's status in San Francisco.
