NFL Week 13 Predictions
| Away | Home | Comments | Pick | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last week: 10-6 (62.5%), Season total: 120 ½-55 (68.5%) | ||||
 Titans(10-1) |
 Lions(0-11) |
What could be better than playing Detroit on Thanksgiving? | |
|
 Seahawks(2-9) |
 Cowboys(7-4) |
Seattle continues its forgettable season in Dallas this week. | |
|
 Cardinals(7-4) |
 Eagles(5-5-1) |
The Cardinals are clearly one of the better teams in the NFC this season, and Kurt Warner is continuing to have success. | |
|
 Saints(6-5) |
 Buccaneers(8-3) |
Huge win for the Saints on MNF last night, that said, the Bucs are still the team to beat in the NFC South. | |
|
 Broncos(6-5) |
 Jets(8-3) |
Wow. The Jets have suddenly thrust themselves into “elite status” in the AFC by knocking off the previously undefeated Titans. | |
|
 Colts(7-4) |
 Browns(4-7) |
With an injury to Brady Quinn, the Browns have QB questions again. | |
|
 49ers(3-8) |
 Bills(6-5) |
Buffalo could play major spoiler this season, but I don’t see them making the playoffs. | |
|
 Ravens(7-4) |
 Bengals(1-9-1) |
Baltimore is just winning, any way they need to. | |
|
 Dolphins(6-5) |
 Rams(2-9) |
This one might be close, but I think the Dolphins will have enough in the end. | |
|
 Giants(10-1) |
 Redskins(7-4) |
Until proven otherwise, the Giants are still the class of the NFC. | |
|
 Panthers(8-3) |
 Packers(5-6) |
I never expected that Green Bay’s weakness this season would be its defense. They need to win this game, plain and simple. | |
|
 Falcons(7-4) |
 Chargers(4-7) |
While the Falcons have played fairly well this season, their inconsistency on the road makes me hesitant to pick them this week. | |
|
 Steelers(8-3) |
 Patriots(7-4) |
I don’t think the Steelers have the offense to match the suddenly resurgent Patriots offense. | |
|
 Chiefs(1-10) |
 Raiders(3-8) |
This is the turd of the week game. Raiders. | |
|
 Bears(6-5) |
 Vikings(6-5) |
I like the Vikings in this one because they are the more balanced team here. | |
|
 Jaguars(4-7) |
 Texans(4-7) |
Both of these teams had big expectations coming into this season, especially Jacksonville. Texans in a close one. | |

While I have never disagreed with you on more than two games, I find myself surprised that there’s 4 1/2 games we dont see eye to eye on.
First of all, with the Falcons and Chargers you commented on the Falcons inconsistency on the road. That statement alone pales to the Chargers inconsistency this SEASON. Michael Turner will show the Chargers why they should have kept him….I’m takin the Falcons.
Panthers and Packers…Panthers have a better defense and I’m a firm beliver of the phrase, “Defense wins championships.” To say the Panthers are a championship team is quite a stretch, but I’ll take the Panthers in this one.
With the Jaguars and Texans…see my comment on Panthers v Packers but replace Jaguars with Panthers.
What I think will be the game of the week is the Steelers/Patriots game. There’s not a lot I can say other than I just have a gut feeling the Steelers will come out on top.
Earlier when I said “4 1/2 games”, the 1/2 I’m referring to is the Bears and Vikings. That game can truly go either way but I’m leaning a more towards the Bears defense.
Now that I’m done ranting…Happy Thanksgiving Day from California. :-)
