Almost had that upset pick in Houston (curse you Ryan Fitzpatrick!!)
Regardless, I still had my best week this season in terms of percentage correct.
My week 13 picks were relatively painless, then again it is WEEK 13!!! That can't be lucky...
--------$----------$----------$----------$----------$----------$--------
TAMPA BAY @ BATON ROUGE : TAMPA BAY
In spite of their miserbale loss last week the Bucs continue to be strong as the Saints fall further into disarray. Tampa isn't the power house that I thought they were at the beginning of the season, but they're better than Baton Rouge.
DALLAS @ NEW YORK (NYG) : NEW YORK (NYG)
It's a toss up, but New York is hungry after that humiliating loss last week in Seattle. They know they're duking it out with the Cowboys here for the division title and they'll get it done in front of their ever-critical home crowd in the Meadowlands.
GREEN BAY @ CHICAGO : CHICAGO
It wouldn't surprise me if the Pack pulled off an upset here, they've cut it so close in recent weeks, but Chicago is the team to beat in the NFC North. After rising to the top so quickly, I can see them taking this game a little too lightly, but they should pull it together by the time it's all over with.
CINCINNATI @ PITTSBURGH : PITTSBURGH
Cincinnati's overrated, Cincinnati's overrated, Cincinnati's overrated. How many times do I have to say it? Pittsburgh takes this one at home. But watch out for the Bengals next year.
JACKSONVILLE @ CLEVELAND : JACKSONVILLE
Jacksonville looks to lock up that final wild card slot. Cleveland looks to lock the doors to the stadium.
MINNESOTA @ DETROIT : DETROIT
Detroit issues a surprising upset at home this week after the Vikings start celebrating their apparent victory a little too early.
TENNESSEE @ INDIANAPOLIS : INDIANAPOLIS
Sometime when a team starts playing as well as the Colts, and they come off a big victory over a tough team they tend to underestimate their more lackluster opponents. Indianapolis is NOT one of those teams.
ATLANTA @ CAROLINA : ATLANTA
Carolina looked like crap against Buffalo and Chicago the last 2 weeks. How anybody can pick them over the Falcons is a mystery to me.
HOUSTON @ BALTIMORE : BALTIMORE
I keep picking Houston as surprise upset and they keep letting me down. This week I'll pick against them and they'll probably let me down again.
BUFFALO @ MIAMI : BUFFALO
Miami has one good game against a dud team from the AFC West and all the sudden they're god's gift to football? Hey, remember when the Bills beat the Chiefs 3 weeks ago? I wouldn't make this pick if I didn't think our boys could pull it off, but I like what I've been seeing and am prepared to dismiss this road-game curse once and for all.
ARIZONA @ SAN FRANCISCO : ARIZONA
Arizona has the talent to become a good team much sooner than San Francisco.
WASHINGTON @ ST. LOUIS : WASHINGTON
Watch out for that Fitzpatrick guy, but Washington isn't Houston.
NEW YORK @ NEW ENGLAND : NEW ENGLAND
They lost last week, now they must win. The Pats want to seal the division, the Jets don't care anymore.
DENVER @ KANSAS CITY : DENVER
Another tough game for Denver against division rivals, but they've shown they've got what it takes to win when it matters.
OAKLAND @ SAN DIEGO : SAN DIEGO
LaMont vs. LaDainian. Guess who wins?
SEATTLE @ PHILADELPHIA : SEATTLE
There is no doubt in my mind that Seattle is the best team in the NFC. They'll drive a stake through the reigning champs this week to claim their place once and for all.
