The NFL Week 13 slate is highlighted by three NFC battles. Vikings @ Falcons, Panthers @ Saints, and Eagles @ Seahawks. Those look like playoff games. Here's a stab at all of the games.
Minnesota Vikings @ Atlanta Falcons
Pick: Vikings
Three weeks ago I thought that the Vikings three game stretch of Los Angeles Rams, @ Washington Redskins, @ Detroit Lions (the last one on three days rest) was their toughest of the season. Now, I think that this two game stretch of @ Falcons and @ Carolina Panthers is the toughest. I guess that the toughest games are always the ones in front of you.
Kansas City Chiefs @ New York Jets
Pick: Chiefs
The way the Chiefs have been playing of late I'm not sure that they can beat any team. They have to get on track this week. Right?
Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans
Pick: Titans
The Titans have soared to the top of the AFC South on wins against soft teams.
Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Pick: Jaguars
The Colts are feisty.
Denver Broncos @ Miami Dolphins
Pick: Dolphins
Going with the home team.
Detroit Lions @ Baltimore Ravens
Pick: Lions
The Lions offense gets the nod over the Ravens offense.
New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills
Pick: Patriots
It'll be tough to pick against the Patriots in any game. Even that big one coming up against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
San Francisco 49ers @ Chicago Bears
Pick: 49ers
The 49ers win their second game and Jimmy Garoppolo wins his first game as their quarterback.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Green Bay Packers
Pick: Packers
The Packers pushed the Steelers to the limit last week in Pittsburgh. If they can play like that against the Buccaneers in Green Bay they should be able to pull out a win.
Cleveland Browns @ Los Angeles Chargers
Pick: Chargers
The Chargers are gaining steam. Josh Gordon returns for the Browns after a two-year sabbatical.
New York Giants @ Oakland Raiders
Pick: Raiders
The biggest story to come out of this game probably came out during the week. Eli Manning's on the bench for the first time since 2004.
Los Angeles Rams @ Arizona Cardinals
Pick: Cardinals
Upset!
Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans
Pick: Saints
The Saints eight-game win streak was stopped by the Rams last week. Now they get a tough division battle.
Philadelphia Eagles @ Seattle Seahawks
Pick: Seahawks
The Eagles are rolling but this might be their first real test of the season.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals
Pick: Steelers
The Steelers have been winning despite some inconsistencies. They need to spend the final weeks of the season getting the inconsistency issues out of their system. Why not start that fix against a hated rival?
