In an eagerly anticipated Week 13 matchup of the 2025 NFL season, reigning league MVP Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills will take on four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both teams have faced recent challenges, with Buffalo holding a 7-4 record but losing four of its last seven games after a strong 4-0 start. Similarly, Pittsburgh has dropped four of its past six contests, bringing their record to 6-5 after a promising beginning to the season.
Despite a fractured left wrist sustained two weeks ago, Rodgers is expected to be on the field. This matchup promises to be a clash between two elite quarterbacks, as both teams seek to regain their winning momentum.
As for player performance predictions, sportsbooks have set the passing yards prop for Allen at 232.5 yards, while Pittsburgh’s DK Metcalf has his receiving yards prop set at 46.5. Before placing any bets, it is advisable to consider insights from sports analysts.
Among the notable player prop predictions, Michael Pittman Jr. is projected to have an underwhelming longest reception of under 18.5 yards against the Texans, given his historical performance and the toughness of Houston’s secondary. Additionally, Kirk Cousins is also anticipated to struggle with an under 191.5 passing yards against the Jets, particularly as the Falcons may rely more on their running game due to weather conditions.
On a more positive note, Kenneth Walker III is likely to exceed 64.5 rushing yards with expectations for a full workload and favorable conditions against a Vikings defense that has allowed a high volume of carries to running backs.
As both teams navigate their respective struggles, this matchup not only presents a chance for performance redemption for key players but also promises an exciting showdown as they fight for playoff positioning.
