Nearly each week in the NFL features an upset. As we enter the stretch run of the regular season, struggling teams begin to raise their game as the stakes keep getting higher, and top teams let their guard down.

Here are our underdog picks that could win outright in Week 13.

*Odds subject to change

Philadelphia Eagles OVER Baltimore Ravens (+143 moneyline) – Caesars Sportsbook

This could be one of the best games of the season and a Super Bowl preview. Henry and Barkley are having historic seasons, and whoever has the better game could take a stranglehold on the MVP race.

While trying to pick the winner, two things stand out to me. The weakest unit in this game is the Ravens' secondary, and the Eagles are considerably better at the wide receiver position. With Philadelphia being the more complete team and having the momentum it has, I'm taking the Eagles.

Atlanta Falcons OVER Los Angeles Chargers (+120 moneyline) – DraftKings

The Falcons are coming off of their bye week, which came at the perfect time after dropping back-to-back games. They still lead the NFC South, but need to keep winning as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers trail by just one game. 

The Chargers have just one win over a team with a winning record this season. Their offense took a major blow with running back J.K. Dobbins suffering a knee sprain and is out for this game. I'll take home team Atlanta in this matchup. 

Carolina Panthers OVER Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+215) – Caesars Sportsbook

The Panthers have a lot of momentum, winners of two of their last three games, and taking the 10-1 Kansas City Chiefs to the limit last week – losing on a last second field goal. Quarterback Bryce Young played perhaps the best game of his career, throwing for 263 yards and rushing for 20. His stats would be even better if not for several dropped passes on the day by Carolina pass catchers.

The Buccaneers are beat up, and just lost starting safety Jordan Whitehead to a pectoral injury. Last week Tampa Bay got a layup win over a New York Giants team that's in turmoil, but was riding a four-game losing streak prior to that victory. The Bucs' inconsistencies make the risk worth the bet, which will be a nice payout if it hits.
