NFL WEEK 13: Our official picks for who wins this weekend
Green Bay Packers (-3) @ Detroit Lions
The Lions technically still aren't eliminated from playoff contention, which is shocking considering they were the single worst team in football only a few weeks ago. The Martha Ford Magic continues! But Aaron Rodgers is due for a big game. How many weeks is it now that we've said this?The Pick: Packers -3San Francisco 49ers (+7) @ Chicago Bears
Jay Cutler is quietly having the best season of his career ... and the Bears are sneakily kind of good?The pick: Bears -7Cincinnati Bengals (-9.5) @ Cleveland Browns
Austin Davis is the 24th different quarterback to make a start for the Browns since 1999. 24! You could field an entire offense and defense just with Browns quarterbacks.
Jacksonville Jaguars (+2.5) @ Tennessee Titans
Didn't these two teams just play? Do they really have to do it again?The pick: Titans -2.5Houston Texans (+3) @ Buffalo Bills
Let's not over-think this one: Brian Hoyer on the road? No thanks.The pick: Bills -3Baltimore Ravens (+4) @ Miami Dolphins
I like the Dolphins to win this one but the Ravens somehow manage to keep everything close. Fun fact: I saw Will Hill play in high school and he returned at least two blocked FGs for touchdowns.The pick: Ravens +4Carolina Panthers (-7) @ New Orleans Saints
Upset of the week! Saints win outright! (Or at least keep it close? Possibly? No?)
The pick: Saints +7
Seattle Seahawks (PK) @ Minnesota Vikings
Best game of the week, and a possible playoff preview. Even without Jimmy Graham, I think the Seahawks eek this one out. The more interesting question is where Marshawn Lynch ends up next season.
The pick: Seahawks
Arizona Cardinals (-5.5) @ St. Louis Rams
Yo, what happened to the Rams? How many more weeks of Jeff Fisher? One?
The pick: Cardinals -5.5
Atlanta Falcons (+2) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I have a very important $1 bet with aforementioned BI writer Scott Davis (see above) on whether or not the Falcons will make the playoffs. Help me out, Jameis!
The pick: Bucs -2
New York Jets (-2) @ New York Giants
Odell Beckham vs. a depleted Jets secondary? Yes, please!
The pick: Giants +2
Denver Broncos (-4) @ San Diego Chargers
Why did Peyton Manning only help Brock Osweiler out at halftime? Why wasn't he on the sidelines? What kind of LEADER is he? I smell a quarterback controversy!
The pick: Broncos -4
Kansas City Chiefs (-3) @ Oakland Raiders
I like the Chiefs, but I'm not sure the Raiders are three-point underdogs at home.
The pick: Raiders +3
Philadelphia Eagles (+9.5) @ New England Patriots
The Boston Red Sox are spending $217 million on a 30-year-old pitcher who has been terrible in the post-season throughout his career!
The pick: Patriots -9.5
Indianapolis Colts (+7) @ Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers are going to be a very scary wild card opponent ... if they can make the playoffs.
The pick: Steelers -7
Dallas Cowboys (+4.5) @ Washington Redskins
Just give it up, Jerry. Come on. It's just getting sad at this point.
The pick: Redskins -4.5
