NFL Picks Week 13

Another week in the NFL and that means another week of picks on PJG Sports

Lets get at it.

Carolina vs. Tampa Bay - Carolina's struggles continue but no one can doubt the great season Newton has had.  They need to draft some more defensive players in 2012.  Look for Blount to have a solid game on the ground, close one though.  Panthers 24-21

Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh - Bengals will seek revenge in this Week 13 matchup with the Steelers.  Look for Dalton to throw the ball more and try to take advantage of the Steeler secondary.  Won't matter though, Ben will throw for 275+ and lead the Steelers to another W.  Pittsburgh 27-17

Atlanta vs. Houston - This would be an awesome game if Matt Shaub was not injured.  Houston, who still sits atop the South will look to go on the ground a lot.  Pick day for Foster and Co.  However, Matt Ryan has been on fire the last three weeks.  I like Atlanta, Foster can only do so much.  Falcons 30-20

NY Jets vs. Washington - Roy Helu showed major improvements last week on the ground and is now the starter in Washington.  This is a must win for the Jets, seeing as the Steelers will probably beat the Bengals, they could gain a game in the Wild Card race.  Jets 28-21

Indianapolis vs. New England - Colts would be out of their mind to bring Manning back this season.  Take your losses and move on.  They stand no chance against the Patriots this week.  Look for Brady to have an absolute field day with Welker and Gronkowski.  34-13

Oakland vs. Miami - Miami has shown signs of improvement in the last few weeks, still Oakland has improved and Palmer appears to be settling in.  Oakland needs to win to keep their edge in the west.  Oakland 20-10

Denver vs. Minnesota - AP is out again this week, which means they will have to resort to Toby Gerhart at the RB position.  I picked against him last week and he proved me wrong,  good for you Tebow.  Broncos 20-17

Tennessee vs. Buffalo - Buffalo has not been what they were at the beginning of the season.  Very unlikely either of these teams will be in the playoffs seeing how the Wild Card is pretty much locked between three teams.  Who wants the better draft pick?  Buffalo 27-21

Kansas City vs. Chicago - No Cutler, struggling on offense with Matt Forte, confusing days for the Bears.  KC is just horrid and stands no chance with Palko at the helm.  Bears 17-13

Baltimore vs. Cleveland - Interesting to see how Hillis will fair against the Ravens, last year in the first meeting he ran for 144 and two touchdowns. Still wont matter, Baltimore will show some toughness and lock the Browns down.  Ravens 24-10

Dallas vs. Arizona - Dallas is playing great football right now.  Look for them to continue this against the Cards.  Beanie wells wont be having the type of day he had last week.  Romo and Co. 29-17

Green Bay vs. NY Giants - Packers need to get out of this game with a win.  The only questionable game would be against the Lions.  Eli and the Giants need to figure out their running game and get back on track.  Wont happen this week though.  Pack stays golden.  35-20

St. Louis vs. San Francisco - 49ers all day in this one.  49ers 27-10

Detroit vs. New Orleans - Game of the Week in the NFL.  Look for Drew Brees to have a big game against the Detroit defense.  Love how the Saints are playing lately, not so much the Lions.  Saints 30-17

Enjoy your football sunday!
