After a fun Week 12 slate that featured a number of wild games, the Week 13 slate is very different thanks to the Thanksgiving and Black Friday games. This week, there are six nationally televised games.
The week got started on Thursday with a Thanksgiving triple-header: the Green Bay Packers defeated the Detroit Lions, the Dallas Cowboys took down the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Baltimore Ravens. Then, on Black Friday, the Bears upset the Eagles.
On Sunday Night Football, the Washington Commanders will take on the Denver Broncos. Finally, on Monday Night Football, the New England Patriots will battle the New York Giants.
This week, there are zero teams on bye. However, bye weeks aren’t over — they will resume next week. Looking at the NFL coverage map, let’s see which games will be broadcast in different areas of the country in Week 13.

NFL Week 13 Prime-Time Broadcasts
Sunday Night Football
- Denver Broncos at Washington Commanders
- 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC
- Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth
Denver Broncos
QB: Bo Nix has seven touchdowns and two interceptions in the fourth quarter this season. He has 11 touchdowns and six interceptions in the first three quarters combined.
Offense:Â The Broncos have ranked 19th or lower in OFFi in the last three games. Denver is ranked 14th in OFFi for the season.
Defense: Since the start of last season, Denver’s opponents have registered a D+ or worse grade 15 times. Only two have graded above C+, the Bengals (B-) and Ravens (B+), both were in 2024.
Fantasy:Â From Weeks 1-10, RJ Harvey maxed out at a 40% snap share in any individual game. With no JK Dobbins, he played 61% of the snaps in Week 11, but only 8.0 fantasy points. The Commanders allow the 10th-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to running backs.
Washington Commanders
Team:Â Washington is 0-3 in November. The Commanders have not had a winless November since 2014 and only six total since 1960.
QB: Marcus Mariota has graded in the weekly top ten in QBi three times in six qualified games. His best was an 81.2 (B-) against the Raiders in Week 3. Mariota’s season rank is 16th out of 40 qualified quarterbacks.
Offense:Â The Commanaders have averaged 17.0 points per game during their six-game losing streak.
Defense:Â Washington registered a 76.2 (C) in DEFi against the Dolphins in Week 11. It snapped a streak of two straight games with an F grade.
Fantasy: Since Week 7, Troy Franklin has four games with at least 12.9 fantasy points. Courtland Sutton has one game with over 10.7 fantasy points. Franklin has out-targeted Sutton 45-34 over that timeframe.
Monday Night Football
- New York Giants at New England Patriots
- 8:15 p.m. ET ESPN/ABC
- Joe Buck and Troy Aikman
New York Giants
Team:Â According to the PFSN Analytics, the Giants currently have a 13.7% chance of getting the first overall pick. A loss increases the chances to 20.0%, a win drops it to 4.4%.
QB: Jameis Winston posted a QBi of 80.7 (B-) against the Lions, which was the second-highest in Week 12. Winston had the fourth-best QBi (80.3, B-) of Week 11 in his first start.
Offense:Â The Giants are 0-5 on the road when they have at least a ten-point lead.
Defense:Â New York has allowed 31.7 points per game during its current six-game losing streak.
Fantasy:Â Tyrone Tracy has 23 touches in each of his last two games. He has 150 rushing yards over that span, both coming in bad matchups. Fantasy managers will now ask him to overcome yet another one against a Patriots defense that allows the fewest fantasy points per game to running backs.
New England Patriots
Team:Â New England has outscored its opponents by 104 combined points in the second and third quarters.
QB: Drake Maye has 16 touchdown passes and four interceptions in New England’s nine-game win streak.
Offense: New England is averaging 26.5 points per game. They scored a total of 27 points in the team’s two losses to the Raiders and Steelers.
Defense: The Patriots have a 78.4 DEFi (12th in NFL) this season, after a 66.1 DEFi (30th) last season.
Fantasy: Just when it seemed like Stefon Diggs was morphing back into a WR1, he suddenly took a backseat to both Mack Hollins and Kayshon Boutte, playing over 20 fewer snaps and running 10 fewer routes than each of them. The Giants are a top-five matchup for wide receivers, though.
