NFL Picks Week 13

So I think everybody was shocked Thursday night when the Dallas Cowboys shut down the Saints. Because of that, I am 0-1 in both columns so far. So the only way to go is up. If you are sitting comfortably, then I will begin.

Cardinals @ Packers (-14): This is way too much respect given to a mediocre Packers team with a down Aaron Rodgers. Cardinals defense can play a bit. I don't think they win but I think the Cards cover.

Points: Cardinals
Victory: Packers

Ravens @ Falcons (-1.5): PICK'EM! This game is very close IMO. Might be the toughest game I have had to call in a few weeks. At the end of the day, I think I have to go with the better team, but I can't be sure at all.

Victory: Ravens

Bills @ Dolphins (-3.5): I was thinking of double dipping with the Bills for a second straight week until I read that Miami is 4-1 at home this year. So I will be cautious.

Points: Bills
Victory: Dolphins

Panthers (-3.5) @ Buccaneers: Two collapsing teams. I am very tempted to go the upset here, but the Buccaneers defense is not good enough to pull it off IMO.

Points: Panthers
Victory: Panthers

Bears (-3.5) @ Giants: UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!
The Bears are due for a letdown I think. They almost had one against Detroit on Thanksgiving and the Lions have less talent than the Giants do. Giants should have won against Philly. Give me the Giants

Points: Giants
Victory: Giants

Browns @ Texans (-5.5): This could be a high scoring affair. But the Texans have the saavy to handle the Browns. But it could be close

Points: Browns
Victory: Texans

Broncos (-5) @ Bengals: The Bengals are ripe for the picking now. Give me the Broncos all the way.

Points: Broncos
Victory: Broncos

Colts (-4) @ Jaguars: Same with the Jaguars. Give me the Colts all the way.

Points: Colts
Victory: Colts

Rams (-10) @ Lions: This could be close but I doubt it. I think the Rams win

Points: Rams
Victory: Rams

Chiefs (-15) @ Raiders: Did you know that Jon Gruden is 4-1 against Andy Reid in his career? The Chiefs also have a personnel problem with the Kareem Hunt situation. I have a sneaky feeling about this.

Points: Raiders
Victory: Raiders

Jets @ Titans (-8.5): Despite the Jekyll and Hyde-ness of the Jets defense, I don't trust this Tennessee offense enough to really pour it on. Thus....

Points: Jets
Victory: Titans

Vikings @ Patriots (-5): This could be a very good game, and the Pats aren't as good as they used to be. However, they are at home and they will rise up

Points: Pats
Victory: Pats

Niners @ Seahawks (-10): Blah. Give me Seattle

Points: Seahawks
Victory: Seahawks

Chargers @ Steelers (-3.5): This has the same look as the Bills Dolphins game. Steelers play much better at home than on the road. Thusly I will go the same way I did in that game

Points: Chargers
Victory: Chargers

Redskins @ Eagles (-6.5): Two desperate teams, especially given that the Cowboys won, and give me the healthier home team

Points: Eagles
Victory: Eagles
