NFL odds Week 13: Wacky wins and bad beats
We got you covered with all the NFL and college football wacky wins and bad beats. Here's a rundown on how bettors fared on this week's slat...DECEMBER 5, 2022
Cairo Santos - Second missed field goal of season Santos converted two of three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Impact Santos had seven points, which was his best effort since Week 7, which was the last time before this game he made multiple field goals. He hasn't shown any time of ceiling in six weeks, making him a risky fantasy option when Chicago returns from their Week 14 bye.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylon Jones - Surprises with big game Jones tallied eight stops in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Impact Jones stepped into the lineup with Kyler Gordon out, and ended up second on the team in tackles. Should Gordon miss time after Chicago's Week 14 bye, Jones could be considered a streaming option in IDP leagues.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Sanborn - Continues to post big numbers Sanborn recorded 11 tackles in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Impact Sanborn has at least 11 tackles in three of his five starts while not posting fewer than seven stops in any of those games, and he'll remain an elite IDP option for the foreseeable future.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Velus Jones Jr. - Small role in offense Jones rushed once for one yard in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Impact Jones' biggest contribution, as usual, was as a kick returner. He returned four kickoffs for 114 yards to go along with his one rushing attempt. On the season, he has five targets and six carries, and aside from leagues that award points for return yardage, his fantasy value is minimal right now.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
N'Keal Harry - Makes big play in loss Harry caught a 49-yard pass in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Impact After being inactive in each of the last three games, Harry caught his only target and more than doubled his season yardage on the play. He's caught one or two passes in each of the four games he's played, and he could maintain a similar role down the stretch.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dante Pettis - Targeted twice in defeat Pettis caught one pass for 14 yards in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Impact Pettis has caught one or fewer pass in all but two games this season, and unless his role changes, he won't be a reliable fantasy option.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Darrynton Evans - Minor role in loss Evans rushed three times for 21 yards in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Impact After handling 10 touches last week against the Jets, Evans was used very sparingly against Green Bay, and his inconsistent usage through two games will make him tough to consider as a reliable fantasy option in the near future.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Equanimeous St. Brown - Makes long grab St. Brown caught three of four targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Packers. He also rushed once for a yard.
Impact St. Brown went for a 56-yard grab, marking the longest gain of his four-year career, which was spent with Green Bay prior to this season. That play helped St. Brown lead the Bears in receiving yards, but his output wasn't enough to beat his former team. With a season-best performance, though, the wideout at least heads into Chicago's bye week on a high note individually.

Fields puts on show in return from injury, Bears lose again
Chicago quarterback Justin Fields put up big numbers rushing and passing after missing a game because of a separated shoulderDECEMBER 5, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Even in down season, Aaron Rodgers shows he still owns Bears
The Packers scored 18 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, yet another Aaron Rodgers comeback to put in the record books.DECEMBER 4, 2022
Chase Claypool - Loses fumble in defeat Claypool caught five of six targets for 28 yards but lost a fumble in Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Packers.
Impact Claypool coughed the ball up while taking a hit that left him injured during the second quarter. Although he was able to reenter the game, Claypool made a limited impact on his handful of catches. He'll now enter Chicago's bye week before returning to face Philadelphia in Week 15.
DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cole Kmet - Season high versus Packers Kmet caught six of seven targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Packers.
Impact Kmet's reception total marked a season high, leading the Bears in the category. Over the last six weeks, the former second-round pick has topped 70 yards twice while scoring five times as well. Although Chicago has not won a game during that stretch, the tight end has at least improved his individual output lately.

Rodgers, Packers rally in 4th quarter to beat Bears 28-19
Aaron Rodgers led three fourth-quarter scoring drives and the Green Bay Packers rallied to beat the Chicago Bears 28-19DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
David Montgomery - Scores in defeat Montgomery rushed 14 times for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Packers. He also caught four of five targets for six yards.
Impact Montgomery scored from seven yards in the second quarter to give him a fourth rushing touchdown on the campaign. While quarterback Justin Fields outgained him with 71 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown run, Montgomery turned in a solid performance as Chicago's lead tailback. He'll now gain some rest over the Bears' bye week prior to returning in Week 15 to face a tough Eagles defense.
DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Fields - Costly turnovers in return Fields completed 20 of 25 passes for 254 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Packers. He also rushed six times for 71 yards and a touchdown.
Impact Fields returned from his one-game absence to make a big impact early, ripping off a 55-yard touchdown run during the first quarter. The signal-caller subsequently completed long passes of 56 and 49 yards and racked up a streak of double-digit completions prior to a pair of costly turnovers to end the game. With interceptions in opposing territory on both of his last two drives, Fields' day ended on a sour note despite his otherwise efficient and explosive effort. He'll now embark on Chicago's bye week prior to facing the first-place Eagles in Week 15.
DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trevon Wesco - Doubtful to return Wesco (leg) has been downgraded to doubtful to return versus the Packers on Sunday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Wesco was initially deemed questionable to return after being forced out with a leg injury early in the first quarter, and it appears he'll likely remain out for the remainder of the game. The 27-year-old has caught just two of his four passes for 26 yards so far this season, so his absence shouldn't make much of an impact in Chicago's passing game.
DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trevon Wesco - Forced out Sunday Wesco is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers with a leg injury.
Impact Wesco went down on the opening drive of the game and had to be helped off the field by members of Chicago's training staff, according to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. In his absence, expect Ryan Griffin to step in as the No. 2 tight end behind Cole Kmet.
DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Riley Reiff - Good to go for Week 13 Reiff (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Impact Reiff was forced out of the Week 12 matchup versus the Jets with an apparent shoulder injury, but he since practiced fully Friday and should retain his usual starting right tackle role Sunday against Green Bay.
DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Khari Blasingame - Won't play Sunday Blasingame is inactive Sunday against the Packers due to an illness, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Impact Blasingame will sit for the first time this season, after he apparently came down with the illness in the hours leading up to kickoff since the Bears didn't include him on their injury report. Chicago will play the game without a true fullback and could turn to one of their tight ends to handle Blasingame's usual blocking functions.
DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tim Boyle - Healthy scratch Sunday Boyle (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Packers.
Impact Boyle will sit this one out with Justin Fields and Trevor Siemian both healthy. His next opportunity to suit up will be Week 15, with the Bears on a bye next week.
