Le'Veon Bell leads the NFL in rushing at 981 yards. He is set to pass the 1,000-yard mark on a season for the third time in his five-year NFL career.  19 yards Sunday shouldn't as tje Bengals defense is 28th in the NFL at stopping the run. The squad is allowing opponents an average of 126.6 yards a game.

The Pittsburgh defense only gives up 96 yards per game on the ground.  That ranks sixth in the NFL. The Steelers' defense is ranked fourth in the league points allowed at 17.5 a contest.

Pittsburgh pass defense is stellar as well, ranking third in the NFL.  They only allow 193.4 yards a game. With that said, the Steelers' secondary has given up big pass plays all season.

SNF Preview: Eagles Going for 10th Straight in Seattle

Philadelphia Eagles Football

Eagles Could Clinch the NFC East With Win



The fans at CenturyLink Field will NFC's top-seeded Philadelphia Eagles and the Seattle Seahawks when they take their seats on Sunday. The Sunday Night Football matchup will kick-off around 8:25 pm EST. NBC will have the coverage.

The Eagles are winners of nine straight games. They will look to make it 10 in a row against the Seahawks. The Seahawks are battling to remain in playoff contention. Philadelphia already owns the best record in the league. They are also the only team to score at least 20 points in all 11 games this season.

Oddsmakers opened the Eagles as -5.5-point favorites versus the Seahawks, while the game's total opened at 48. The Eagles are now 3-5-point favorites and the total is down to 46.

Seattle Fighting for Playoff Lives



Seattle was a 24-13 winner in its last match on the road against the San Francisco 49ers. They covered the -7-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 37 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

The banged-up Seahawks are still quite dangerous at home, and especially at night. They have gone 21-4-1 in Sunday, Monday and Thursday night games since 2010. They're 13-2 at home in prime time under coach Pete Carroll.

Seattle will be without key players Richard Sherman, who had asseason-ending Achilles injury. Strong safety Kam Chancellor has neck issues and defensive end Cliff Avril also has neck issues.

Quarterback Russell Wilson continues to play at a high level. He has completed 256 of 411 passes  for 3,029 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Wilson has started 91 consecutive games. That is the fifth-longest active streak.

The Seahawks are attempting to reach the playoffs for the sixth straight year. They're seventh in the NFC playoff race at the moment.

Wentz is Key to Eagles Success



Philadelphia was a 31-3 winner in its last match at home against the Chicago Bears. They covered the -14-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 34 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

Much of the offensive success is because of how second-year quarterback Carson Wentz has played. He is a legitimate Most Valuable Player candidate. Wentz is 213 of 354, 60.2 percent,  for 2,657 yards, 28 touchdowns and only five interceptions.

Wentz is just the third quarterback in league history to throw at least 28 touchdowns and no more than five interceptions through the first 11 games. He is in good company by joining New England's Tom Brady and Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers. Brady accomplished the feat in 2007 and 2015. Green Bay's Rodgers did it in 2011 and 2014.

Wentz has also thrown multiple touchdowns in seven straight games. That is tied for the longest streak in Eagles history. Wentz's 28 touchdown passes ranks fifth in Eagles history behind Sonny Jurgensen, who had 32 in 1961. Then Donovan McNabb had 31 in 2004. Rounding out the group is Randall Cunningham, who had 30 in 1990, and Norm Snead, who had 29 in 1967.

The Eagles have allowed a only 716 rushing yards this season. That is the fewest allowed through 11 games in team history. In last Sunday's victory over the Chicago Bears, the Eagles gave up just six rushing yards.

NFL Week 13 Pick- Minnesota Vikings at Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta Falcons Football

Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings Both Streaking



The Minnesota Vikings aim to keep things rolling in the right direction this Sunday. They have a key road game against the Atlanta Falcons. Game time from Mercedes-Benz Stadium is set for 1 p.m. on FOX.

BetAnySports has opened the Falcons as three-point home favorites with the total set at 47. The line now has the Falcons as 2-point favorites. The total has crept up to 48.5.

Vikings Going for 8th Straight Win and 7th Straight Cover



Minnesota moved to 9-2 straight-up on the year with last Thursday’s 30-23 victory against Detroit. They covered as a 2.5-point road favorite. It was its seventh win in a row and the six-straight cover for Minnesota. The win moved them to 8-3 against the spread.

The total went OVER BetAnySports’ closing 45-point line. The total has gone OVER in four of the Vikings’ last five games. They stay on the road this week with a 3-2 record ATS in five previous road games this year.

Fifth-year quarterback Case Keenam has the Vikings currently eighth in the NFL in scoring with 24.6 points per game. Last week they moved to fifth in average yards gained (375.7). He ended the game against the Lions with 282 yards passing and two touchdown throws. Keenum has passed for 2,476 yards and 14 touchdowns this season against five interceptions while completing 66.1 percent of his 330 attempts.

Atlanta Falcons Going for 4th Straight Win



Atlanta has been able to turn things around with a three-game winning streak (SU and ATS) after posting a 1-4 SU record in its previous five games. It failed to cover in all five contests. The net result is a 7-4 SU mark that has the Falcons just one game off the pace in the highly competitive NFC South title race. They are 5-6 ATS on the year and the total has gone OVER in three of their last five games on BetAnySports’ closing line.

With an average of 31.7 points in its current three-game run, Atlanta’s offense has regained its early season form that made it one of the highest scoring teams in the NFL. Overall, this offense is 11th in the league with 24.1 PPG and it moves to sixth in total offense. Matt Ryan is back on track with five touchdown throws against just one pick in his last three games and Julio Jones is coming off a 12-reception performance against Tampa Bay on Sunday for 253 yards and two scores.

This Sunday’s conference showdown should be a highly entertaining game between a pair of playoff contenders in the NFC, but only one can come away with the SU win. While I will refrain from making a pick as to which team covers ATS at BetAnySports, I will go with the OVER on the current 47-point total line.
