Week 13 Monday Night match up could have big Playoff impact
December is upon us and that means that wins and losses now carry much more weight than during the first few months of the NFL season. Up ‘til now the Monday Night football betting matchups have been interesting and exciting but of little consequence.
But things are different now and the upcoming Monday Night football odds contest between the Green Bay Packers and the Baltimore Ravens should not only be a helluva game but it’s going to have a very meaningful impact on the playoff picture in both conferences.
Right now in the AFC the Ravens (6-5) are the possessors of the second wildcard by virtue of their head-to-head win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. If they lose on Monday they’ll most likely lose their lead in this tight wild card race.
In the NFC the Packers (7-4) are also presently holders of a wild card berth should the season end today. A win would maintain their positioning but a loss would open all kinds of possibilities in the NFC. With the Giants, Falcons and Niners all breathing down the Packers; neck this is a very important Monday Night football betting matchup.
Likewise the Steelers, Jets, Jags and even the Dolphins would love to capitalize on a Ravens loss and climb up the playoff positioning ladder. What makes this matchup even more compelling is that both of these teams are both very good at all phases of the game. Fans should expect to see a well played game by two of the league’s better teams with an outcome that will reverberate all across the NFL spectrum.
