Any hopes of a comeback were dashed when Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons ran untouched into the backfield and pressured Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith into making a hurried throw that bounced harmlessly incomplete, clinching victory for Dallas.

If you’re looking to get in on the action in Week 13, there are a lot of good options on the board. Pay particular attention to props for Alvin Kamara and Juwan Johnson this weekend when they come out. Both receivers are in a good spot Sunday with other Saints receivers out. While we wait for those lines to come out, though, here are my favorite early values for the slate.

LeBron James makes life easy for his haters. Whether it be his appearing to blatantly lie about racist graffiti sprayed on the gate of his mansion, lying about reading books, or turning into a political activist when it fits his agenda, it’s not exactly hard for people to root against the guy.

The Dallas QB is “the one writing” and he wrote a lot Thursday night
There is a common joke format that is still flourishes on Twitter/X.
“[So and so] read the tweets.”
