Back in action, folks. 

After one of wildest NFL weeks in recent memory (thanks, coronavirus), Rotem and Frank are here to weather the storm and break down all of the games on the Week 13 slate. This week's schedule features no Thursday Night Football but two games on Monday AND a rare Tuesday Night game, so there's plenty of storylines to look out for. 

The guys discuss what games to stay away from and which lines make for the best plays. Can the Falcons continue to frustrate betters? Will the Jaguars cover as a heavy underdog again? Will the Lions or Bears do . . . anything? These questions, and more, are answered. As always, the fellas also dish their predictions for every game's moneyline and spread, with some overs and unders mixed in. 

You know what to do.
