Week 13

Here we go.

GB 24 at DET 31, Lions have to be seething after the loss to TB last week. Rodgers or not they win @ hmOAK 20 at DAL 30, perfect game for Romo, big, but not too big
PIT 24 at BAL 20, PIT OL playing better, Ravens struggling to score points
JAC 10 at CLE 17, I like JAC in this game, but on the road and cold…no sir Weeden pulls this one out
TN 20 at IND 24, like Fitz, and the TN DL, would not be surprised if they won, but Luck finds a way late
CHI 21 at MIN 20, Bears pull out a road win late
MIA 13 at NYJ 21, players come and go, but I can never take MIA on the road in cold weather
AZ 20 at PHI 24, I like the Petterson vs Djax, but Shady comes through, Foles is now the unquestioned QB
TB 13 at CAR 20, both DLs will control the LOS, Cam does a little more with it than Glennon
NE 27 at HOU 17, idk which fall has been greater ATL or HOU, but it continues this week in HOU
STL 13 at SF 24, Rams have had the 49ers # lately, this one is fairly close early, but Clemons has a tough day
ATL 24 at BUF 21, BUF DL will cause some problems for ATL, but I don’t get the sense the Falcons have quit…yet.
DEN 31 at KC 24, Houston out/Hali questionable, enough said
CIN 24 at SD 27, not fan of Dalton on the road, SD has weapons and a triggerman
NYG 23 at WAS 24, ‘Skins get back to the run to stop the bleeding for a week
NO 24 at SEA 20, Payton & Brees will surely test these new CBs early and often


Overall: 97-45 with 52 close predictions and 2 correct prediction

Week 12: 7-6 with 5 close predictions
Week 11: 13-2 with 9 close predictions
Week 10: 7-7 with 7 close predictions

Your OAK @ DAL game score jumps off the page...makes me want to ask...what does he know that I don't know here?

If HOU gives up 45 pts, Kubiak should just hop on i10 with a full tank of gas and don't stop until you run out.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Iowa, and again kudos for the effort you've put in on this thread!!!

Oakland 14 at Dallas 24 - Cowboys win this one and make playoff push.
Pittsburgh 23 at Baltimore 16 - I keep going back and forth with this one. Right now it's the Steelers.
Jacksonville 13 at Cleveland 16 - Browns win this one with late FG. Stay in hunt.
Tennessee 27 at Indianapolis 30 - Colts rebound after terrible loss to go to 8-4.
Chicago 24 at Minnesota 35 - Peterson runs wild over the worst run D in the league.
Miami 20 at New York Jets 19 - Another game I am going back and forth on. Miami as of now.
Arizona 30 at Philadelphia 12 - Really like the Cards big here. Their D is legit.
Tampa Bay 13 at Carolina 20 - It won't be pretty but Newton gets it done again.
New England 33 at Houston 17 - Patriots make push for 1 seed in AFC.
St. Louis 16 at San Francisco 20 - 49ers do just enough to squeak by Rams.

You took the cake last week...just scanning your picks here...AZ, wow...I do like the DB matchup here in favor of AZ, but a lot of speed on OFC for PHI, and I do not like Palmer on the road (won @ TB & JAC)...I'm thinking much closer game than you've projected.

I always make my picks based solely on my hunch. I never look at the betting lines which I think influences people's opinions too much. I think Arizona has been balling on defense this year and I think Philly is one of those teams that does well on offense vs bad defenses but struggles vs good defenses. I also think they might press a bit if and when they fall behind in the game.

You've had some pretty good weeks there, iowajerms.

Line, oh I will look at them sometimes, but not to form a pick...I'm not even sure what it is for this game, at this stage of the season, I think health and trends matter more.

The score (moreso the team picked) jumped out at me so we'll see how that one goes.

Enjoy this Turkey Day!

You too. I picked the Steelers after all so hopefully they get it.

NFL Picks and Predictions for Week 13 - National Football League - ESPN

Some interesting trends here. Everyone likes the Lions and Cowboys today. Vast majority like the Bears on sunday and I have no idea why. AP is going to tear us up.

 

[Bunkamania]

Good call pumpkinhead.

Detroit has already blown one of their feet completely off.

Congrats Bunk! On 3-0 start and the freakin Ravens taking us out of our misery (not official yet, we're on life support still).

 

[Bunkamania]

Cincy has a lot of tough games left. If the Ravens and Steelers keep on winning things could get very interesting in the AFCN.

AZ @ PHI was one the few I got right over very close rather on the points. I watched a fair amount of this game...once Chip Kelly learns that just because you play @ a fast pace, you're not going to blow every team out every week in the NFL he'll be a little better off. McCoy should've had at least 10 more rush attempts in the 2nd half.

I blew it...MIA @ NYJ...Not that it would've changed the outcome, but I think Rex, panicked and pulled Geno too early...Jets are going nowhere this year...let the kid take his lumps.

DEN @ KC...Chiefs had a good shot at that game...imo Reid's pass happy game plan is just what DEN wanted...pound it on the ground with some playaction to burn clock and limit PM time on the field just seems the best way to beat DEN.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

MNF

Wow...did the Saints gets slapped around in that one.

Blinders on when I made that pick.

SEA has a couple of tough road games ahead, before they close it out with 2 DIV gms @ home. They look like the 1 seed, because NO & CAR are likely to split. The battle for the 2 is heating up.
