Week 13 in the NFL: Picks and predictions

Thanksgiving weekend=lighting round of picks.. GO!



Last weeks record (including Thursday games): 14-3

Overall record: 112-55


Redskins @ Colts: So much for that Luck/RGIII showdown, huh?

Pick: Colts 33 Redskins 17

Titans @ Texans: Neither of these teams are particularly great at football. That’s all my analysis for now.

Pick: Texans 20 Titans 16

Browns @ Bills: Brian Hoyer has put my brain into a pretzel on more than one occasion this season, and I don’t like it. For the fourth week in a row, I’m picking against the Browns.

Pick: Bills 23 Browns 20

Chargers @ Ravens: The Ravens just have players and coaches who know how to win games/championships. They’re a sneaky scary football team.

Pick: Ravens 26 Chargers 20

Giants @ Jaguars: You know two teams that I’m NOT thankful for this holiday season? Yeah.

Pick: Giants 22 Jaguars 14

Bengals @ Buccaneers: In the words of long time Miami Herald reporter Greg Cote, “GAAAAAAWK goes the upset bird!” Never trust Andy Dalton for too long.. Never, ever do it.

Pick: Buccaneers 24 Bengals 17

Raiders @ Rams: Derek Carr is the man. The other 52 active players on the Raiders roster are not.

Pick: Rams 27 Raiders 13

Saints @ Steelers: So the Saints just aren’t good anymore, huh? That’s a weird thing to accept.

Pick: Steelers 30 Saints 20

Panthers @ Vikings: The Panthers are 3-7-1. The Vikings have Teddy Bridgewater. Good game here.

Pick: Vikings 19 Panthers 16

Cardinals @ Falcons: I miss Carson Palmer.. so do the Cardinals. Fortunately, they won’t need him this week.

Pick: Cardinals 21 Falcons 10

Patriots @ Packers: I’ve been waiting for this game for seven long, annoying, unbearable weeks here in New England. In the words of Alan Yoast.. “Run it up, Herman, Leave no doubt!”

Pick: Packers 35 Patriots 27

Broncos @ Chiefs: I’ve never seen a team dink and dunk more than the Denver Broncos do. I sort of lost a ton of respect for them last week because of it. But it works, so whatever.

Pick: Broncos 33 Chiefs 23
