NFL Week 13 Sportsbook Report: Bettors Flocking To Bucs Over Falcons – GamingTodaySlotsToday

Johnny Avello left Napolis brick-oven pizzeria Wednesday afternoon in Hoboken, N.J., where he was attending a nearby conference, and raved about the square Sicilian slices he had just consumed.

Oh, my God, said the DraftKings sportsbook director. Amazing. So good. Really, really great.

It doesnt even upset his stomach, too much, when I mention the Seattle Seahawks. Then again, the 69-year-old Avello, who formerly directed the Ballys and Wynn sportsbooks, is a consummate professional.

They just havent performed well. The Seahawks are having a rough time scoring. Russell Wilson just doesnt seem to be the same Russell Wilson.

On Tuesday, Nov. 23, DraftKings posted a look-ahead line (for games of the following week) of Pickem for San Franciscos tilt at Seattle on Sunday. Another shop even appeared to post Seattle at a look-ahead -1.5, according to VegasInsider.com.

Thursday, the 49ers were favored by 3.5 points.

Three and a half seems too high, said Avello. Probably wouldnt want to go past three, in a game like this between division foes. The 49ers probably deserve to be the favorite just based on what weve seen from Seattle recently.

The Seahawks have lost six of their past seven games, scoring 17 or fewer points in five of them. They were shut out in Green Bay on Nov. 14.

Sometimes things dont work anymore, so it might be time for [coach] Pete Carroll to go away, start fresh, said Avello. Maybe we see Russell Wilson on another team? He did stick around, but I know he wants to be on a contender.

Heres a look at the Week 13 slate.
