Week 13 Picks - Wk 13

Just going over this weeks games I must say this is as hard as the picks get. Lots of must wins and lots of unproven M.I.A teams playing against each other. How do you pick against that? It is going to be hard to match last weeks success but hopefully I can keep the wins coming. I have a two game lead with 122 wins so far this season in my office pool so I need to stay on top.

Week 13 Picks
Away	Home	My Pick
Tampa Bay Buccaneers	New Orleans Saints	Bucs
If Tampa Bay shows up and plays their defense the Bucs should win easily
Cincinnati Bengals	Pittsburgh Steelers	Steelers
This is a must win for the Steelers and they are at home following a loss. Steelers win hands down.
Tennessee Titans	Indianapolis Colts	Colts
The only team that will beat the Colts this year are the Colts. It's bound to happen and with 5 weeks left who's going to knock off the undefeated Colts? I have this funny feeling it is going to be this week but I gotta go with the better team.
Atlanta Falcons	Carolina Panthers	Falcons
With the Falcons winning 4 of their last 5 at Carolina and the Panthers offense slowing down I feel Vick and Co. will pull out the win.
Houston Texans	Baltimore Ravens	Ravens
Who has a quarter? Flip it: Ravens = heads and Texans = tails. That's how I feel about both teams. But with J. Lewis producing last week and Ravens at home I have go with Baltimore.
Jacksonville Jaguars	Cleveland Browns	Jags
Which team is actually going to show up? This is another tough pick because both teams are really suspect right now. I think it will be the defense that wins this game and the Jags have the better defense
Dallas Cowboys	New York Giants	Cowboys
I think Eli loses his first home game this week.
Minnesota Vikings	Detroit Lions	Vikings
Brad Johnson for MVP. Wait, I won't go that far but I will say he should pull the victory out once again.
Green Bay Packers	Chicago Bears	Packers
I'm nervous writing this up as I'm actually going to pick the Packers. Favre usually plays very well against the Bears in Chicago and when you least it expect Favre will throw for 300+ yards. He probably won't do that against this defense but the Green Bay Offense should be in fifth gear leaving behind the rookie Bears QB.
Buffalo Bills	Miami Dolphins	Dolphins
Ricky Williams runs for a 100yds. That'll be the high light of this boring game
Arizona Cardinals	San Francisco 49ers	Cardinals
Kurt "the hurt" Warner. Sounds funny doesn't it. But he's getting it done lately so I gotta ride the hot streak.
Washington Redskins	St. Louis Rams	Redskins
Fitzpatrick did look good for the Rams but can he do it against the skins? I doubt it and this is also a must win for the skins.
New York Jets	New England Patriots	Patriots
Patriots haven't lost two straight this season plus they are playing against the Jets.
Denver Broncos	Kansas City Chiefs	Chiefs
Chiefs at arrowhead are very hard to beat plus they owe the Broncos some payback. I think Larry Johnson has yet another spectacular game.
Oakland Raiders	San Diego Chargers	Chargers
Another team in a must win situation. The Chargers should win.
Monday Night Football
Seattle Seahawks	Philadelphia Eagles	Seahawks
Both teams have good defenses but Seattle has been shaky the last several weeks. I think the Eagles will be tough to beat at home but they just don't have the offensive superpower that the hawks have.
