NFL WEEK 13 PREDICTIONS

Jets @ Vikings
The Jets offensive abilities for the rest of the season could be questioned as they made a decision that rookie Jets quarterback won’t be starting for the rest of the season starting in week 12. In his starting opener Jets back up quarterback Mike White made an impressive showing against the Chicago Bears going 22-28 with 315 yards and a 149.3 quarterback rating which will likely face a Vikings defense who is seventh in pass defense so it may not be surprising if the Jets choose to rely on the running game a little more than usual. As for the Vikings if they can get the passing game going it could be a long day for the Jets. Our Pick: Vikings

Steelers @ Falcons
Like a lot of other games this one will ultimately come down to how the teams perform at the offensive line as the Falcons are third in rushing yards per game at 159.4 yards per game while the Steelers have the seventh best rushing defense at only 103.4 points per game. Our Pick: Falcons

Broncos @ Ravens
With Jerry Jeudy and Chase Edmonds likely to be out again this coming Sunday the Broncos will be down a couple of weapons offensively so they better use what they have against a Ravens defense that is third in the league and is only currently giving up 86.4 yards per game on the ground. As for the Ravens, if running back Gus Edwards and quarterback Lamar Jackson both have dominant running games they could very easily make it a long night for the Broncos. Our Pick: Ravens

Commanders @ Giants
There is no doubt the Commanders run defense who is ranked sixth in rushing yards at 106.5 yards per game is gonna have to show up for the Giants running attack led by Saquon Barkley who only needs eight yards to pass the 1,000 yard mark for the season. As for the Commanders if they can keep the Giants offense off the field they could make it interesting. One thing to keep an eye on in this one is both teams are in the top 10 in third down percentage on defense as the Commanders defense is second in the league on third down percentage at 32.8 percent while the Giants defense is eighth in the league at 36.6 percent. Our Pick: Giants

2023 NFL Football Season

2021 predictions:

DAL-NO
The Saints are in a nosedive having lost four straight since starting the season 5-2. The problem, of course, is injuries. WR Michael Thomas hasn’t played a down this year. QB Jameis Winston is done for the season and RB Alvin Kamara has missed the last three games. Dallas is in a mini dive of its own having lost three of its last four including the 36-33 loss to the Raiders on Thanksgiving. The Cowboys (7-4) are simply too talented to lose to a backup quarterback… DALLAS 30, NEW ORLEANS 20

TB-ATL
The Bucs righted the ship last week with a win over the Colts. Since Tom Brady took over at quarterback for Tampa Bay, the Falcons have not beaten the Bucs. That’s three straight wins for Tampa Bay including last year’s two blowouts – 44-27 and 48-25. Atlanta has somehow managed to go 5-6. The offense sputters and the defense has given up more points than any team in the NFC. Brady and the Bucs offense will have no problem scoring in the comforts of Mercedes-Benz Stadium… TAMPA BAY 38, ATLANTA 21

ARI-CHI
The Cardinals enjoyed an extended Thanksgiving break with a week off. It was made even better with their current 9-2 record. There could be more good news as starting QB Kyler Murray may return to the lineup against the Bears. Murray hasn’t played since Arizona’s loss to Green Bay. It won’t matter whether Murray plays or not. The Bears offense is anemic and won’t be able to keep up with the Cardinals whether it’s Colt McCoy or Murray running the show… ARIZONA 30, CHICAGO 17

LAC-CIN
The Chargers and Bengals continue their quests for a playoff berth. The Bengals destroyed Pittsburgh 41-10 last week. The Chargers lost to Denver last week after beating the Steelers the week prior. Sunday’s game will be a battle between two of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL – Justin Herbert of the Chargers and Joe Burrow of Cincy. The Chargers run defense is awful and Cincy’s Joe Mixon just ran all over Pittsburgh… CINCINNATI 28, LA CHARGERS 24

MIN-DET
The Lions continue to find ways to lose. They led Chicago on Thanksgiving Day but allowed the Bears to come back and win the game on a last-second field goal. Minnesota has been playing well lately though they did lose at San Francisco last week. The Vikings still have a shot at the postseason and this is a game that should be a win. Detroit hasn’t beaten Minnesota since 2017. That’s eight straight Vikings wins including a 19-17 win on another last-second field goal in the first meeting this season. It won’t get any easier for Detroit… MINNESOTA 24, DETROIT 17

WAS-LV
The Raiders got a huge win over Dallas on Thanksgiving Day. They will have a rest advantage over Washington which played on Monday night. The Football Team has been overachieving and that may be running out. The Raiders passing game is for real and a win is needed to keep the playoff hopes alive. Las Vegas is tied with the Chargers and Broncos in the AFC West… LAS VEGAS 35, WASHINGTON 24

JAX-LAR
The Rams (7-4) have lost three straight. The losses were to teams that are playoff caliber – Tennessee, San Francisco, and Green Bay – and a win is needed to get back on track. The schedule favors the Rams as they take on the 2-9 Jaguars. One of the Jags wins was a huge upset of Buffalo. Don’t expect that to happen again… LA RAMS 33, JACKSONVILLE 17

BAL-PIT
If last week was any indication, the Ravens are going to blow out Pittsburgh. The Steelers were pounded by Cincinnati 41-10. The Ravens battled Cleveland and won 16-10. Baltimore-Pittsburgh games are typically physical, low-scoring battles. The Steelers won both games last year. Baltimore won both in 2019. Pittsburgh’s inability to run the football is evident and the passing game misses injured WR JuJu Smith-Schuster. A win keeps the Ravens on top of a very competitive AFC North… BALTIMORE 17, PITTSBURGH 13

SF-SEA
The 49ers picked the right time to start peaking. San Francisco is finally getting healthy and it has showed the past several weeks. The Niners have won three straight and are right back into the thick of the postseason race at 6-5. Seattle may be writing off this season. They won just once in six games before their Monday night game against Washington last week. Seattle has won the last three in the series, but the 49ers have done very well on the road this season. They are 4-1 so far, soon to be 5-1… SAN FRANCISCO 27, SEATTLE 23

DEN-KC
It’s one of the best AFC rivalries. The Broncos visit the Chiefs looking for their first win over their rival since 2015. Yes, Kansas City has won 11 games in a row over Denver. The Chiefs have also won their last four games in a row to take over the AFC West lead. KC is 7-4 and the rest of the division is 6-5. Playing at home at Arrowhead, the Chiefs are 4-2 this season. The last Broncos win in the series was actually at Arrowhead Stadium in 2015. Not this time… KANSAS CITY 34, DENVER 23

NE-BUF
It’s for the AFC East lead. The Bills dethroned the Patriots last year as division champs ending more than a decade of dominance by New England. The Patriots defense is outstanding and QB Mac Jones continues to shine. The Bills are at home though and they happen to be 3-0 in the division so far this season. This is a game where Josh Allen rises to the occasion in prime time. The Bills take the division lead… BUFFALO 24, NEW ENGLAND 23
