“Bear Bets” are real wagers that Chris “The Bear” Fallica is actually making.

We’re on to Week 13 in the NFL, and I’ve got my eyes on two games.

For those new to this space, if you are looking for a few wagers to get in on the NFL action, I have you covered. Nothing makes football better than having a few bucks on the games weekly.

Last week, we went .500. Let’s try to go 2-0 this week, shall we?

RECORD
Last Week: 1-1
Season: 16-16

(All times ET)

Rams @ Saints (4:05 p.m., FOX/FOX Sports App)

Since knocking me out of survivor against the Panthers, the Saints have won back-to-back games. And if you look at the next few games — all winnable — this one, at the Giants and home vs. Washington. That could take them to .500 before a trip to Green Bay and games with the Raiders and Bucs to close out the season. Amazingly, they are still in this divisional race. I’m not there with the Rams at all — short week, and travel across country against team coming off a bye. I’ll grab the points and the Saints.

PICK: Saints (+3) to lose by fewer than 3 points, or win outright

Eagles @ Ravens (4:25 p.m., CBS)

I can’t wait to see this Eagles defense try to shut down the rushing attack of Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. Philly has been dominating and wearing down teams with its own legs for weeks as well, since the blowout loss at Tampa. So many people are focused on the Lions — and rightly so — but there’s a chance the Eagles could wind up with the one-seed in the NFC. They aren’t getting on a plane the rest of the regular season — road games are this week at Baltimore and at Washington. The home games are Carolina, Pittsburgh, Dallas and the Giants. Not only do I like the Eagles this week, but I’m bullish on their NFC futures, too.

PICK: Eagles (+3) to lose by fewer than 3 points, or win outright
