The long Thanksgiving week/weekend of games, aka week 13, winds down this evening with the New York Giants visiting the New England Patriots. The AFC East’s top team, the Patriots, has now won nine in a row, including their win last week over the Cincinnati Bengals 26-20. The Giants sit in last place in the NFC East as they have lost their last six games, including last weekend’s loss to the Detroit Lions 34-27.

Week 13 comes to an end with the New York Giants visiting the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. The Giants are flirting with the first-overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft as they enter the week with a 2-10 record. The Patriots are the top team in the AFC playoff picture and could be the first team to reach 11 wins this season, coming into the game with a league-best 10-2 mark.

As we do for every game during the season, our contributors are back with their straight-up winners picks for tonight’s game. If our contributors also make...

On Monday, the Detroit Lions claimed former Miami Dolphins tight end Hayden Rucci. Rucci was waived by Miami on Saturday alongside offensive lineman Kion Smith to make room for the returns of tight end Darren Waller and starting right tackle Austin Jackson.

There were some rumblings about the Dolphins desire to return Rucci to the team’s practice squad once he cleared waivers, but Monday’s claim by the Lions will thwart that rumored plan.

Rucci was in his second season with the Dolphins after being signed by the club after going undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft. The former four-year Wisconsin...

The Miami Dolphins have now won three games in a row, defeating the New Orleans Saints by a score of 21-17 in Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season. Though the game never should have been close, the Dolphins managed to hold on and fight off a late Saints comeback to secure the victory.

Here’s three reasons why the Dolphins got the win.

1. Weaver’s Win

This win had Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver’s fingerprints all over it.

Through the first two quarters, the Dolphins held the Saints to zero points, forced two turnovers, and allowed just 63 total...

The Miami Dolphins survived some incredible late-game madness in week thirteen to outlast the New Orleans Saints by a score of 21-17 to win their third straight game — pulling their record to 5-7 after starting the season a woeful 1-5.

After taking a 16-0 lead at half, the Dolphins’ offense managed to put just three points on the scoreboard during the final two quarters of play, while the Saints — led by rookie quarterback Tyler Shough and 2024 7th-round wide receiver Devaughn Vele — put up 17 second-half points, and were a 2-point conversion away from tying the game...

The Miami Dolphins took on the New Orleans Saints yesterday and it was a bit too close for comfort. The Dolphins offense started out hot with some great play from the run game and then they decided they wanted to throw the ball. QB Tua Tagovailoa just didn’t have a good game and that is becoming a normal thing as of late. It was not pretty at all, but the win keeps the Dolphins slim hopes alive as they enter December.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

The Miami Dolphins hosted the New Orleans Saints in Week 13, sneaking out with a win as the Saints tried to make a comeback at the end of the game. This game featured just about everything, including a defensive two-point conversion and a recovered onside kick.

The game was a back-and-forth affair, with Miami jumping out to an early lead, but allowing the Saints back into the game in the second half. The defenses of both teams were the story of the game, with big plays being made by both teams to try to keep the game close.

After dispatching both the Buffalo Bills and the Washington Commanders in the past two games, our Miami Dolphins hope to make it three in a row when the New Orleans Saints come to town this afternoon. Miami probably could not have hoped for a better draw this week than the woeful 2-9 Saints. New Orleans comes into this game fresh off another loss to the Atlanta Falcons, 24-10, this past weekend.

The Miami Dolphins host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, kicking off their Week 13 matchup at 1 p.m. Eastern. As both teams conduct their final preparations for the game, they have released their respective inactive players lists, dropping from the 53-man active roster used during the season to the 48-man limit enforced by the league during games.

The Saints had ruled out running back Alvin Kamara on Friday’s injury report with issues to his knee and ankle; he now headlines the inactive players list. Also inactive are defensive back Ugo Amadi, cornerback Rejzohn Wright, tackle Barry Wesley, tight end...

Week 13 does not have any NFL teams on a bye, which would normally mean the Sunday schedule features a full slate of games – but since this is Thanksgiving week, there have already been four games played. Add in the Monday Night Football game tomorrow, and that leaves just 11 games spread over the day.

The early afternoon slot, with seven games on the schedule, is headlined by the Houston Texans at the Indianapolis Colts, while the afternoon games feature a marquee matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Sunday night game has the Denver Broncos...

The Miami Dolphins come off their bye week to host the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. The Dolphins are just 4-7 on the season, but two of those wins came in their last two games, keeping their minuscule playoff hopes alive. A third-straight victory could continue to improve those hopes.

The Saints enter the weekend 2-9, struggling their way toward the end of the year. They are currently in position to have the third-overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and may just be trying to get through the rest of the season, figure out what they have in...
