Week 13 Matchups & Predictions
(Thursday) Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions, 1:00 PM EST
The Lions received good news before Thanksgiving when Frank Ragnow announced that he is coming out of retirement to play center for the Lions offense. I’m sure Jared Goff will appreciate having his old center since he has been under duress the last two weeks from the Eagles and Giants pass rush units. I think Detroit exacts its revenge against Green Bay who won in Lambeau in Week 1.
Pick: Lions win 34-27 (OT)
(Thursday) Kansas City Chiefs @ Dallas Cowboys, 4:30 PM EST
George Pickens has been taking to social media to talk about Patrick & Brittany Mahomes. Probably not a good thing to poke the bear…(and I am not talking about Andy Reid).
Pick: Chiefs win 27-24
(Thursday) Cincinnati Bengals @ Baltimore Ravens, 8:20 PM EST
Joe Burrow returns. I think the NFL wants to see a tight race for the AFC North divisional race. Burrow goes into Baltimore and beats Lamar; still keeping Cincy’s playoff hopes alive.
Pick: Bengals win 27-23
(Friday) Chicago Bears @ Philadelphia Eagles, 3:00 PM EST
The Eagles choked away a 21-0 lead to the Cowboys. The defense under Vic Fangio won’t do anything like that again but the offense still has a lot of issues with Jalen Hurts and Kevin Patullo. Expect a lot of punts in this one…
Pick: Eagles win 21-14
San Francisco 49ers @ Cleveland Browns, 1:00 PM EST
The last time the 49ers played the Browns, the Browns upset them in 2023. I don’t think Kyle Shanahan will allow his team to play down to the competition this time around.
Pick: 49ers win 23-16
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans, 1:00 PM EST
Jacksonville can’t afford to lose this game to a 1-10 Tennessee team. Otherwise, teams like Kansas City will take advantage as the AFC wild card teams take shape.
Pick: Jaguars win 27-17
Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts, 1:00 PM EST
I like the Texans to upset the Colts. The Texans defensive line has not been stopped as of late. Even the Colts road-grading offensive line will find Demeco Ryans group to be too much.
Pick: Texans win 17-14
New Orleans Saints @ Miami Dolphins, 1:00 PM EST
Here’s a trip down memory lane: Drew Brees and the Saints won their Super Bowl in Miami. These are not those Saints. Mike McDaniel has somehow been able to keep his job late into November. Miami is actually .500 at home. It’s on the road where they struggle.
Pick: Dolphins win 26-17
Atlanta Falcons @ New York Jets, 1:00 PM EST
Kirk Cousins vs. Tyrod Taylor. Woof. 37 and 36 year old backups for sub-.500 franchises. Happy Thanksgiving. Lol.
Pick: Falcons win 23-13
Arizona Cardinals @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1:00 PM EST
With Baker Mayfield nursing an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, they will need to sit him so that they can have him...
