NFL Week 13 Officiating Angles: Finding Edges in Chiefs-Packers, Falcons-Jets and Chargers-Patriots

We went 3-0 last week, upping this unique column to 21-15 (+4.5 units) on the season. The Falcons and Rams came through for us, as well as Under 36.5 in Panthers-Titans (17-10 Tennessee).

Joe Gibbs (not the Hall of Fame coach, the NFL referee expert who tweets @NFLrefstats1) is collaborating with SportsLine this season to provide weekly, referee-based betting angles. He analyzes the NFL ref assignments from the moment they are released each Tuesday.

Before you make any Week 13 NFL picks or NFL parlays, you need to see what Gibbs and SportsLine senior analyst Larry Hartstein have to say about the officiating crews' tendencies.

We can tell you Hartstein and Gibbs are betting the Packers +6 vs. the visiting Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. The referee, Brad Allen, has been very good to home underdogs. They're 26-16-1 (63%) with Allen officiating since 2016.

Allen also called the Chiefs' visit to Denver earlier this season, a 23-9 upset win by the Broncos. Kansas City was laying 7 in that game.

This season, Allen is calling just 43% of his penalties on home teams.

Hartstein also is sharing key officiating angles in Falcons-Jets and Chargers-Patriots. You need to see this critical referee data before locking in your picks!

So which side of Falcons-Jets has the edge? And what other officiating edges can be found on the Week 13 slate? ... Join SportsLine right now to see Larry Hartstein's Week 13 NFL officiating trends, all from the expert who went 53-34-3 in the SuperContest last year!
