NFL Week 13 Picks Against the Spread

Been swamped this week.  Going to post quick picks. Some extra analysis may possibly be updated Saturday.

PHILADELPHIA (-8.5) over Houston — I’m an Eagles fan so I’m forced to pick them. Ridiculously high spread against a good offense, but Eagles offense should get clicking again against the Texans poor defense.

Washington (+7) over NEW YORK GIANTS — Division games are tough. Especially when Giants are missing their WRs (Smith and Nicks are out).

Jacksonville over TENNESSEE — First impression. Subject to change.

Cleveland (+4.5) over MIAMI — Miami rebounds against Oakland after getting shut out by Bears. Have to stick with those Browns though! Not a high confidence play though.

Chicago (-4.5) over DETROIT — Chicago’s D is legit!

KANSAS CITY (-9.5) over Denver — Wow, Kansas City is for real? Too many points to take.

GREEN BAY (-9.5) over San Fransisco — Too many points for me to take, but I have to stick with the Pack at home.

MINNESOTA (-5.5) over Buffalo — Now that the Vikings got a W, they should be able to beat the Bills at home though, right? Bills took the Steelers to OT after killing the Bengals. What is going on?

New Orleans (-6.5) over CINCINNATI — This is one of my favorite plays this week.  Like I’ve been saying, New Orleans will get hot in the 2nd half of the season.

SAN DIEGO (-13) over Oakland — Oakland is in a funk again and San Diego’s offense has been clicking. Chargers need to keep pace with the Chiefs who have an easy game at home.

SEATTLE (-6) over Panthers — I love betting against the Panthers, so this game looks like it could be a taker.

INDIANAPOLIS (-5) over Dallas — Have to stick with the Colts at home despite the Colts loss to the Chargers last week. Like I mentioned, the Chargers have the Colt’s number and always manage to give them fits.

St. Louis (-3.5) over ARIZONA — Arizona blows. Have to go with them Rams.

Atlanta (-2.5) over TAMPA BAY — Screams trap game. Vegas very confident in Tampa Bay.  I really respect Tampa Bay and think they have a good shot at winning here, but the Falcons are far more legit than the Bucs. I’ll have to go with the better team.  Looks like an easy bet, but it totally has trap game written all over it.

BALTIMORE (-3) over Pittsburgh — With the Ravens at home, I’ll have to stick with them. Pitt’s offense wasn’t up to par against the Bills last week and Big Ben is banged up.

NEW ENGLAND (-3.5) over New York Jets — Revenge game! Going with the Pats at home on Monday Night. Danny Woodhead is a stud! Perfect game for Monday Night!
