(DEFENDING CHAMPION)

WEEK 13
Thanksgiving Week

Thursday's games
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions, 12:30 p.m.
It's amazing how quickly things could change in the NFL. After that shellacking to the hands of the Patriots last week, the Lions no longer have the best defense in the league. That distinction now belongs to the Seahawks led by their "Legion of Boom". Be that as it may, the Lions are back home this week after loaning their stadium to the Bills on Monday night, and they will play the hibernating Bears in a key divisional battle. Well, it's key for the Lions anyway, if they intend to wrestle the division title away from the Packers. I think the Lions will rebound from a horrific showing in Foxborough and take care of the Bears in this one.
Lions 24, Bears 16

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys, 4:30 p.m.
This annual "Turkey Day" home game for the Cowboys will be more significant than most. It will be for first place in the National Football Conference's (NFC) East Division, and quite possibly for one of the top two seeds in the entire conference. Both of these teams have explosive offenses, but I'm not sold on the Cowboys' ability to rush the passer and create turnovers which could be pivotal in a game like this. Also, Tony Romo has a knack for giving away meaningful games late in the season. I'll take the Eagles on the road in what should be a very entertaining game.
Eagles 34, Cowboys 31

Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers, 8:30 p.m.
The loser of this game could very well miss the playoffs this year. At the very least, they will be on the outside looking in. After last week's showings, the Seahawks and Niners have the number one and two defenses in the league respectively. That's particularly impressive considering the personnel that both teams lost on that side of the ball this season. These two division rivals have similar make-ups and play basically the same way, but they absolutely hate each other. This will probably be the most physical game of the week, and I for one, surely won't miss it. I'll have to go with the better offense in this one, and that belongs to the Super Bowl Champs Seahawks.
Seahawks 19, 49ers 13

Sunday's games
San Diego Chargers at Baltimore Ravens, 1 p.m.
Quite a few teams are battling for playoff spots in the American Football Conference (AFC), and these two teams are right in mix. Ever since that early season flurry, the Chargers haven't been the same though. Meanwhile, the Ravens have caught steam. With Justin Forsett running like a man possessed, and Torrey Smith starting to perfectly compliment Steve Smith Sr., the Ravens are producing offensively. Also, their defense is coming around. On top of that, the Chargers don't travel well to the east coast, so the Ravens should be able to take care of business at home.
Ravens 27, Chargers 20

Cleveland Browns at Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m.
Sooner or later, a team is going to have to slip in a very competitive AFC North division. All four teams are 7-4 or better, and just a half game separates first from worst. The Browns is the least experienced of those four teams, so they might be in for a rough December. Taking on the Bills in Buffalo this Sunday won't be easy. Brian Hoyer has been terrific for the Browns, and their running game is coming around, but the Bills are in the playoff mix as well and will look at this game as one which could possibly make or break their season. I'm not sure you'll see much offense in this one. I think the Bills will feed off their defense and win a low-scoring grueling contest.
Bills 17, Browns 13

Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans, 1 p.m.
J.J. Watt didn't really have a strong game against the Bengals last Sunday. For the most part, he was rendered ineffective by the Bengals. I can't see what could very well be the Defensive Player of the Year struggling for two weeks back-to-back. Someway, somehow, he will be a force this week against the Titans, and might be a factor in the outcome. Besides, Arian Foster could be back for the Texans. The Titans could be a pesky lil team, but I think the Texans realize the magnitude of this game. They could ill afford to lose games like this if they have any intention of making the playoffs this year.
Texans 23, Titans 20

Washington Redskins at Indianapolis Colts, 1 p.m.
The Colts are in control of their division and are in playoff mode while the Redskins appear to be just playing out the schedule and are headed for the NFL Draft. Quite frankly, there's no way that the Colts lose this game. Two years ago, this game would have been a huge attraction with Andrew Luck facing off against RG3 (Robert Griffin III), but even that has lost some luster with RG3's sporadic play the last few weeks. As a matter of fact, it appears that the Redskins are planning to start Colt McCoy over RG3 this week. Meanwhile, the Colts still have to fix their running game and they have to do a better job of protecting Luck, but somehow they still own the league's best passing attack. They'll have too much offense for the "Deadskins" on Sunday.
Colts 37, Redskins 20

N.Y. Giants at Jacksonville Jaguars, 1 p.m.
I'm still in awe of that three-finger grab by Odell Beckham Jr. of the Giants last week. Simply put, that was one of the best catches that I have ever seen. With young stars like him and Rashad Jennings to build around, the Giants have a bright future. The Jags have some young stars of their own, but they don't have enough talent to be competitive in this league yet. They're still lingering on just one win this season. I think Eli Manning will lead the troops into battle in Jacksonville and help the Giants get a much needed win. A win in this one could save Tom Coughlin's job next season. A loss to the lowly Jags, and he's certainly doomed.
Giants 24, Jaguars 14

Carolina Panthers at Minnesota Vikings, 1 p.m.
Even after being well-rested and coming off a bye, I don't know if I can trust Cam Newton and the Panthers to have a spirited showing in Minnesota. They have been that bad this season. Quite frankly, I rather go with the rookie quarterback in this one. Teddy Bridgewater has shown a lot of poise in his starting role with the Vikes. At the end of the day, neither of these teams will probably be in the playoffs this year, but I have to take the Vikes at home. The Panthers have been that awful.
Vikings 20, Panthers 17

New Orleans Saints at Pittsburgh Steelers, 1 p.m.
After dropping three straight at home, the Saints will take their act on the road against a Pittsburgh team that is getting healthier by the day, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. This should be a great quarterback match-up between "Big Ben" Roethlisberger and Drew Brees, but it might be the running games which come to the forefront in this inter-conference battle. As lackluster as the Saints have been this season, at 4-7, they're still tied for first place in their division, meaning, they still have huge playoff aspirations. The Steelers is simply the better team right now though. Coming off a bye, they'll be prepared for the Saints and will continue their pursuit of an AFC North title, or at the very least, a playoff spot.
Steelers 28, Saints 24

Oakland Raiders at St. Louis Rams, 1 p.m.
As much as I like clowning on the Raiders, it was good to see them get that elusive first win last week Thursday. Now, they can get back to their losing ways. Meanwhile, despite their 4-7 record, the Rams have been pleasantly surprising this year. They have knocked off some big teams and have been competitive in others. At one point, both of these teams called the city of Los Angeles home. I don't think the "City of Angels" would want any of these franchises right now, but as mentioned earlier, it's the Rams that has been more impressive. They should win this game easily on Sunday.
Rams 27, Raiders 16

Cincinnati Bengals at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1 p.m.
Andy Dalton is still shaky at quarterback for the Bengals, but for the most part, he's getting the job done. They are winning key games and are in first place in the very competitive AFC North Division. They'll have to keep winning in order to hold off the other three teams in what has become the best division race in football. The Bengals have a formidable duo at wide receiver in A.J. Green and Mohamed Sanu, but their backfield of Giovani Bernard and Jeremy Hill has been impressive as well. The Bucs have been getting good production out of Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson lately, but they don't have enough firepower to keep up with the Bengals in this one.
Bengals 31, Buccaneers 23
Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons, 4:05 p.m.
After getting derailed by the Super Bowl Champs last week, the Cards find themselves with another tough road game this week, but I think that they'll get back on track and handle business in Atlanta. After winning two straight, the Falcons lost on a last second field goal to the Browns last week. They're not as formidable in the Georgia Dome as they once was. Drew Stanton has been surprisingly good for the Cardinals this year, and they have beaten some big teams. They appear headed to an NFC West title, and I don't think they'll let teams like the Falcons stand in their way.
Cardinals 30, Falcons 27

New England Patriots at Green Bay Packers, 4:25 p.m.
As good as the Patriots have been, surging all the way to the number one team in the power rankings, it's tough for me to pick any team going up against the Packers at Lambeau. Two of the game's best gun slingers will air it out on Sunday, but the Packers is a different animal at home. In the words of Stephen A. Smith, "Aaron Rodgers is a bad man", particularly at dreaded Lambeau Field. Some people see this as a potential Super Bowl preview, but I still like the Seahawks to make a late surge and come out of the NFC and I still think the Pats will falter in the playoffs. Either way, this should be a great match-up on Sunday. There's no way I'm going against Mr Rodgers at Lambeau though.
Packers 37, Patriots 34

Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs, 8:30 p.m.
There's nothing wrong with Denver's offense. They proved that last week against the number two ranked defense at the time, the Miami Dolphins. This week Peyton and crew face the league's best passing defense, and number eight overall, in the Chiefs. The Chiefs will be looking for revenge after an early season loss to the Broncos, and I think they'll get it. Peyton and the Broncos' high octane passing attack will see first hand what Tom Brady and the Pats had to deal with this year when they visited the noisiest outdoor arena in football, Arrowhead Stadium. I think the Chiefs will bring the heat, pressure Peyton and force some bad throws. I like them to get a big win against their division rivals in this primetime affair.
Chiefs 27, Broncos 24

Monday's game
Miami Dolphins at N.Y. Jets, 8:30 p.m.
Believe it or not, the Dolphins could very well be 9-2 right now. They dropped three very winnable games agains three tough opponents - the Packers, Lions and Broncos. This week, they face a subpar opponent in the Jets. With the Ravens and Patriots lurking on the schedule, this could be a trap game for the Dolphins. I think they'll be ready to execute on both sides of the ball though. The defense dropped to number five in the league after giving up all those yards and points to the Broncos last week but I think they'll rebound with a big showing this week. The defense will get back on track, and that underrated offense will continue to put points on the board. It all adds up to another victory for the Dolphins.
Dolphins 30, Jets 16

WEEK 13
Thanksgiving Week

Thursday's games
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions, 12:30 p.m.
Detroit hasn't scored an offensive touchdown in three weeks and a team that was once poised for an outstanding year is heading on a downward spiral. Luckily for them, the Bears aren't showing any indications of a team that can turn it around after some lackluster wins against Tampa Bay and Minnesota. I believe the Lions will get it together offensively on Sunday and find the end zone on multiple occasions, securing a much needed victory to keep pace in the NFC North.
Lions 34, Bears 21

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys, 4:30 p.m.
As December approaches, the biggest question swirling around the football world is whether or not Tony Romo will revert to his vintage end of season form where he finds ways to lose games. I believe that Romo will rise to the occasion and put those questions to rest and lead Dallas into the playoffs. As for Philly, this will be a tall task for them to go into "Jerry's World" and steal a victory. I'm not sold on Mark Sanchez doing that, and I'm confident in the Cowboys' ability to take care of business at home using the same formula that has won them eight games already. This game won't be short of explosive plays, but I believe Romo and the 'Boys will take control of the NFC East with a victory.
Cowboys 30, Eagles 20

Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers, 8:30 p.m.
It's no coincidence that both of these teams have the same record, getting healthier and starting to hit their stride at the same point in the season. Bitter rivalries tend to bring out the best in teams and I expect this game to be a battle of attrition and as physical as it gets. The key to this game will be the pass rush for both teams, and I believe the 49ers will have a slight edge with Aldon Smith already making a huge impact in the front seven. Seattle will struggle containing Colin Kaepernick and Frank Gore on the ground and if San Fran sticks to running the football then they have a chance to control the outcome of this game. The Seahawks' effectiveness starts and ends with Marshawn Lynch, and I believe he will have a tough time dominating the game on the ground like he has been in the past several weeks. This game won't be high scoring, but every yard gained will count in this one. San Fran will be the better team on Thursday night.
49ers 17, Seahawks 14

Sunday's games
San Diego Chargers at Baltimore Ravens, 1 p.m.
Although the record may not fully indicate it, I believe this Ravens team is as good as any team that made deep playoff runs in the past. The mental toughness of this Baltimore team is what separates them from all of the other teams vying for a playoff berth and I expect them to be the better team against a San Diego squad that has lost its mojo. Although Phillip Rivers can make it interesting, I don't see him travelling to the east coast and pulling off a victory in a hostile environment.
Ravens 26, Chargers 14

Cleveland Browns at Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m.
The return of Josh Gordon has already paid huge dividends for the Browns in their huge win last week at Atlanta and I expect it to do the same this week in Buffalo. While the Bills are competing every week, I believe that they will fail to match Cleveland's intensity on both sides of the ball on Sunday. Both of these teams want to end their playoff droughts, and I believe the Browns are the hungrier team. It will show on Sunday.
Browns 24, Bills 16

Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans, 1 p.m.
Even with Ryan Mallett being done for the season, I still believe the Texans are good enough to win at home with inconsistent quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Titans should be trying to position themselves for a top draft pick and I believe Houston will keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
Texans 27, Titans 17

Washington Redskins at Indianapolis Colts, 1 p.m.
This will be the first match-up between the first and second overall picks in the 2012 NFL Draft when Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III square off on Sunday. Both of their careers are heading in different directions and I believe Luck will make a statement and prove why he's the best player from his draft class. As for the game, the Colts have been very dominant at home and I don't see the Redskins going into Indy and leaving with a victory. A strong defensive outing will complement Luck's day, leading to a victory.
Colts 31, Redskins 13

N.Y. Giants at Jacksonville Jaguars, 1 p.m.
The G-men finally get a break as they will play a team that they should be able to beat in the Jaguars. I don't see them having a letdown on the road. Eli Manning will be sharp and Odell Beckham Jr. will be sensational, so I expect New York to come out on top.
Giants 24, Jaguars 14

Carolina Panthers at Minnesota Vikings, 1 p.m.
It seems as if nobody wants to win the NFC South based on how the teams are playing, but I believe the Panthers will finally play some quality football after having a much needed bye week. Carolina's defense should play with confidence going up against a rookie quarterback in Teddy Bridgewater and I believe they get a much needed win to stay alive in the division race.
Panthers 22, Vikings 14

New Orleans Saints at Pittsburgh Steelers, 1 p.m.
My confidence in the Saints is dwindling by the week and I don't see how this team can steal a win against a Steelers team that is coming off a bye week. Luckily for New Orleans, they can afford to drop a game, while Pittsburgh doesn't have the same luxury in their tight AFC North division race. I like the home team to secure a win.
Steelers 28, Saints 20

Oakland Raiders at St. Louis Rams, 1 p.m.
The Rams are certainly fighting to the end in each game they play and I think they will be relieved to play an opponent that only has one win 12 weeks into the season. If that physicality on both sides of the ball is present on Sunday and Shaun Hill can play a mistake-free game, then St. Louis should emerge victorious.
Rams 23, Raiders 10

Cincinnati Bengals at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1 p.m.
Cincy has found their mojo again and I don't see a letdown happening in Tampa Bay on Sunday. The Bucs certainly won't lay down and accept defeat, but the better team will prevail.
Bengals 21, Buccaneers 13

Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons, 4:05 p.m.
My Falcons let a win slip out of their claws after poor clock management and missed opportunities. They picked the wrong week to run into one of the best defenses in football, and because this game won't be of the shootout variety, the Cardinals will win in smash mouth fashion.
Cardinals 24, Falcons 13

New England Patriots at Green Bay Packers, 4:25 p.m.
This is my pick for game of the week. I believe these elite quarterbacks will put on a great show on the national stage. As much as I would like to side with my Super Bowl pick in the Patriots, I believe Aaron Rodgers will be slightly better than Tom Brady and have a dominant game in the air. While Brady and the Pats have been brilliant over the past month and a half, I think this is the game where they finally cool off and come back to Earth with the rest of the league. This won't be short of entertaining, but I think Green Bay will be the victors.
Packers 34, Patriots 24

Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs, 8:30 p.m.
The Broncos can take control of the AFC West with a win this week, and I believe Peyton Manning will drill into his teammates to play with a sense of urgency on Sunday night. Stopping Jamaal Charles will be key for Denver, and if they can neutralize him on the ground then the element of surprise in the play action game won't be there. I don't expect this to be a high-scoring game, but Denver will do just enough to steal a victory in a hostile environment.
Broncos 23, Chiefs 13

Monday's game
Miami Dolphins at N.Y. Jets, 8:30 p.m.
I don't have any faith in New York making this an enjoyable Monday night game. If the Dolphins can't beat this atrocity of a Jets team then they don't need to be in the playoff conversation anymore. I'm confident Miami will handle business behind a solid defensive outing and another decent performance from Ryan Tannehill.
Dolphins 21, Jets 10

WEEK 13
Thanksgiving Week

Thursday's games
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions, 12:30 p.m.
Bitter rivals clash in Thanksgiving's first football game. Going with the theme of Thanksgiving, one team will emerge standing like the Pilgrims, and the other team will be laid flat like the Indians. The Bears are now slowly assuming the spoiler position, and I think they further spoil the Lions chance of snatching the division in an upset.
Bears 27, Lions 26

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys, 4:30 p.m.
The Eagles need their starters on deck for this game. No Nick Foles can probably mean not enough points scored. The Cowboys are playing amazing football, and it will be hard for any division rival to go into "Jerry's World" and beat the 'Boys!
Cowboys 34, Eagles 23

Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers, 8:30 p.m.
The Seahawks are not what they used to be, especially on the road. Even though the 49ers aren't what they used to be either, I think the 49ers is the better team at the moment, and they will set themselves up to claim the number two spot in the NFC West.
49ers 20, Seahawks 18

Sunday's games
San Diego Chargers at Baltimore Ravens, 1 p.m.
The Chargers travel cross country to play the Ravens around 10 a.m. San Diego time. That means in Baltimore they have a 1 o'clock game against a team with tons of confidence after a big win on Monday night against the Saints. With the Ravens' running game being as efficient as it was on Monday night, I see no sign of the Chargers beating them after traveling all the way from the west coast.
Ravens 21, Chargers 20

Cleveland Browns at Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m.
The Browns just look good, especially in crunch time. Josh Gordon is back, and I know he has something to prove. Expect him to put up big numbers on Sunday, leading the Browns to a victory.
Browns 24, Bills 16

Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans, 1 p.m.
The Texans are not what they should be, but neither are the Titans. In this "snooze fest" of a game, the home team will be the better team.
Texans 23, Titans 18

Washington Redskins at Indianapolis Colts, 1 p.m.
Benching Robert Griffin III to start Colt McCoy will not make a significant difference in the outcome of Sunday's game against the Colts.
Colts 31, Redskins 23

N.Y. Giants at Jacksonville Jaguars, 1 p.m.
After Odell Beckham Jr.'s spectacular catch and his breakout game against the Cowboys, we know his confidence has to be through the roof. With him, the Giants are still bad, but they are not bad like the Jaguars.
Giants 27, Jaguars 13

Carolina Panthers at Minnesota Vikings, 1 p.m.
The Vikings have struggled, but so have the Panthers. When we look at these two teams, we see youth on one team and we see experience on the other. We think experience will prevail in this match-up.
Panthers 27, Vikings 16

New Orleans Saints at Pittsburgh Steelers, 1 p.m.
The Saints play great football one week and play horrible football the next week. This week they are due for a big game against the Steelers. I don't know why and I don't have statistical evidence to back up my prediction, but the Saints will win.
Saints 23, Steelers 19

Oakland Raiders at St. Louis Rams, 1 p.m.
My uncle always told me, "when you roll the dice, roll the dice twice!" The Raiders will win on the road and get their second win of the season.
Raiders 23, Rams 6

Cincinnati Bengals at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1 p.m.
The Bengals is a team fighting to get in the postseason. Right now, I don't have much faith in the Bengals, not even to beat the lowly Buccaneers.
Buccaneers 27, Bengals 23

Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons, 4:05 p.m.
The Cardinals took a hard blow when they lost to the Seahawks over the weekend. This Sunday, they hope to redeem themselves against the Falcons. The Cardinals should win.
Cardinals 20, Falcons 12

New England Patriots at Green Bay Packers, 4:25 p.m.
Some would argue that the Patriots have the best quarterback and the best team in the league right now. Well, I can't say the same. My Dolphins beat the Patriots and lost to the Packers. Aaron Rodgers will prove that he is a better quarterback than Tom Brady on this day. I am making the bold prediction that Aaron Rodgers will throw for four touchdowns against the Patriots in a win.
Packers 35, Patriots 28

Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs, 8:30 p.m.
The Broncos barely escaped Miami, and they hope to be better defensively this week. The Chiefs will send a lot of different blitzes at Peyton Manning, interrupting the flow of the game for them. With a defense like that, I have to take the home team.
Chiefs 28, Broncos 24

Monday's game
Miami Dolphins at N.Y. Jets, 8:30 p.m.
The Jets need to dig deep into their bench and practice squad to find a quarterback who can throw the ball. Against this Dolphins' defense, they don't stand a chance at scoring over 20 points. The Dolphins' offense looks consistent in scoring over 20 points, even against great defenses, so they should win this one easily.
Dolphins 27, Jets 17
