2014 NFL Week 13 Picks
Here are my picks for week thirteen of the 2014 NFL season.
Thursday, November 27th
(5-6) Chicago Bears vs (7-4) Detroit Lions- Chicago is coming off a home win against a lowly Tampa Bay team. Detroit is coming off a disappointing road loss against New England. This should be an entertaining first game of the holiday for sure. Expect Detroit to pull it out at home. Prediction: Detroit 26, Chicago 20.
(8-3) Philadelphia Eagles vs (8-3) Dallas Cowboys- This game is the most relevant NFC East showdown to this point. Philadelphia is coming off a home win against Tennessee. Dallas is coming off a great come from behind win in New Jersey against the Giants. This should be another great game with Dallas coming out on top. Prediction: Dallas 35, Philadelphia 30.
(7-4) Seattle Seahawks vs (7-4) San Francisco 49ers- Many people believe this is the best current rivalry in the league and don't forget what happened the last time they met. Seattle is coming off a big home win against Arizona. San Francisco is coming off a big home win against Washington. Seattle's defense looks like it's getting back in groove and you can say the opposite for San Francisco's offense. That's the difference in this one. Prediction: Seattle 24, San Francisco 20.
Sunday, November 30th
(1-10) Oakland Raiders vs (4-7) St. Louis Rams- Oakland is coming off their first victory of the season last Thursday night at home against Kansas City. St. Louis is coming off a tough loss against San Diego. Expect this game to be a close one, but St. Louis to come out on top. Prediction: St. Louis 28, Oakland 24.
(3-8) New York Giants vs (1-10) Jacksonville Jaguars- The Giants are coming off a tough home loss against Dallas. Jacksonville is coming off a bad road loss against Indianapolis. Expect quarterback Eli Manning and talented rookie wideout Odell Beckham Jr, who made perhaps the best catch ever last week, to finally break their losing skid against a bad Jacksonville team. Prediction: NY Giants 30, Jacksonville 20.
(2-9) Tennessee Titans vs (5-6) Houston Texans- This is actually an interesting game. Tennessee is coming off a road loss against Philadelphia. Houston is coming off a disappointing home loss against Cincinnati. Quarterback Ryan Mallett is out for the season with a torn right pectoral muscle. Ryan Fitzpatrick is under center again, but I still think Houston comes out on top. Prediction: Houston 26, Tennessee 21.
(3-7-1) Carolina Panthers vs (4-7) Minnesota Vikings- Carolina is coming off their bye week and two weeks ago, they lost at home against Atlanta. Minnesota is coming off a home loss against Green Bay, in which they played well in. I believe Minnesota builds on last weeks nice effort and wins at home against a mediocre Carolina team. Prediction: Minnesota 27, Carolina 20.
(7-3-1) Cincinnati Bengals vs (2-9) Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Cincinnati is coming off a big road win against Houston. Tampa Bay is coming off a road loss against Chicago. Cincinnati is by far better than Tampa Bay and I believe they continue their success on the road. Prediction: Cincinnati 27, Tampa Bay 17.
(3-8) Washington Redskins vs (7-4) Indianapolis Colts- Washington is coming off a road loss against San Francisco. Indianapolis is coming off a home win against Jacksonville. Washington has been a disaster lately with the benching of quarterback Robert Griffin III for Colt McCoy. Indianapolis is my lock of the week. Prediction: Indianapolis 40, Washington 20.
(7-4) Cleveland Browns vs (6-5) Buffalo Bills- Cleveland is coming off a road win against Atlanta. Buffalo is coming off a big win against the Jets in Detroit. Buffalo is back home after the snowstorm and I believe they will win a big home game against an overrated Cleveland team. Prediction: Buffalo 26, Cleveland 23.
(4-7) New Orleans Saints vs (7-4) Pittsburgh Steelers- New Orleans is coming off a disappointing home loss against Baltimore. Pittsburgh is coming off their bye and two weeks ago, they won on a Monday night on the road in Tennessee. Pittsburgh always rises to the occasion for big home games and they'll do it here against an underachieving New Orleans team. Prediction: Pittsburgh 33, New Orleans 24.
(7-4) San Diego Chargers vs (7-4) Baltimore Ravens- San Diego is coming off a home win against St. Louis. Baltimore is coming off a huge road win against New Orleans. San Diego is a very soft 7-4 and that'll show in Baltimore when a hot team makes a statement at home. Prediction: Baltimore 34, San Diego 23.
(9-2) Arizona Cardinals vs (4-7) Atlanta Falcons- Arizona is coming off a bad road loss against Seattle. Atlanta is coming off a disappointing home loss against Cleveland in which head coach Mike Smith pretty much lost the game on his own. Arizona must win this game and I believe they will bounce back here on the road. Prediction: Arizona 24, Atlanta 20.
(9-2) New England Patriots vs (8-3) Green Bay Packers- This is the best game of week thirteen and it might not be close. Super Bowl XLIX preview? New England is coming off a big home win against Detroit. Green Bay is coming off a road win against Minnesota. Lambeau Field just maybe the difference here for Green Bay. Prediction: Green Bay 41, New England 37.
(8-3) Denver Broncos vs (7-4) Kansas City Chiefs- This is a big game. Denver is coming off a big come from behind home win against Miami. Kansas City is coming off a bad loss against Oakland last Thursday night. This should be a fun game and expect Denver to squeak it out on the road. Prediction: Denver 34, Kansas City 27.
Monday, December 1st
(6-5) Miami Dolphins vs (2-9) New York Jets- Miami is coming off a tough road loss against Denver, which they went toe to toe with. The Jets are coming off a pathetic loss against Buffalo. Miami might be due for a let down after playing well in Denver, but I don't see it here. Prediction: Miami 30, NY Jets 20.
Thursday, November 27th
(5-6) Chicago Bears vs (7-4) Detroit Lions- Chicago is coming off a home win against a lowly Tampa Bay team. Detroit is coming off a disappointing road loss against New England.

2014 NFL Week 12 Picks
Here are my picks for week twelve of the 2014 NFL season.
Thursday, November 20th
(7-3) Kansas City Chiefs vs (0-10) Oakland Raiders- Kansas City is coming off a huge home win against Seattle. Oakland is coming off a road loss against San Diego. Is Kansas City do for a let down after a big win? We shall see, but don't be surprised if Oakland hangs around or even wins this game. Prediction: Kansas City 31, Oakland 26.
Sunday, November 23rd
(6-4) Cleveland Browns vs (4-6) Atlanta Falcons- Cleveland is coming off a disappointing home loss against Houston. Atlanta, who is leading their division with their poor record, is coming off a road win against Carolina. Cleveland will get receiver Josh Gordon back from his suspension this week. With that said, I believe Cleveland bounces back and gets a big road win. Prediction: Cleveland 27, Atlanta 20.
(1-9) Jacksonville Jaguars vs (6-4) Indianapolis Colts- Jacksonville is coming off their bye and two weeks ago, they lost in London against Dallas. Indianapolis is coming off a disappointing home loss against New England. I really like Indianapolis to bounce back with a chip on their shoulder here. Prediction: Indianapolis 37, Jacksonville 20.
(6-3-1) Cincinnati Bengals vs (5-5) Houston Texans- Cincinnati is coming off a big road win against New Orleans. Houston is also coming off a big road win, expect it was against Cleveland. I really think this game will be close and I believe Houston with new starting quarterback Ryan Mallett will win another big game. Prediction: Houston 26, Cincinnati 23.
(7-3) Green Bay Packers vs (4-6) Minnesota Vikings- Green Bay is coming off a big home win against Philadelphia. Minnesota is coming off a road loss against Chicago. Green Bay is arguably the best team in the league right now and I think they continue their hot play on the road. Prediction: Green Bay 37, Minnesota 24.
(2-8) Tennessee Titans vs (7-3) Philadelphia Eagles- Tennessee is coming off a home loss against Pittsburgh. Philadelphia is coming off a disappointing road loss against Green Bay. Tennessee actually didn't look bad against Pittsburgh so don't be surprised if the score is closer than people think. Prediction: Philadelphia 30, Tennessee 21.
(2-8) Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs (4-6) Chicago Bears- Tampa Bay is coming off a nice road win against Washington. Chicago is coming off a bounce back win against Minnesota at home. Lovie Smith's return to Chicago is an underrated storyline for week twelve, but I think Smith's former team will come out on top. Prediction: Chicago 27, Tampa Bay 24.
(7-3) Detroit Lions vs (8-2) New England Patriots- Detroit is coming off a disappointing road loss against Arizona. New England is coming off a huge road win against Indianapolis. New England along with Green Bay are the leagues hottest teams and New England will continue their winning ways. Prediction: New England 40, Detroit 24.
(9-1) Arizona Cardinals vs (6-4) Seattle Seahawks- Arizona is coming off a big home win against Detroit. Seattle is coming off a tough road loss against Kansas City. This is one of the biggest games of the season and I think Seattle gets the job done at home. Prediction: Seattle 23, Arizona 20.
(4-6) St. Louis Rams vs (6-4) San Diego Chargers- St. Louis is coming off a great home win against Denver. San Diego is coming off a narrow home win against Oakland. This is an interesting game, but I like San Diego to win although a St. Louis win won't surprise me. Prediction: San Diego 26, St. Louis 24.
(6-4) Miami Dolphins vs (7-3) Denver Broncos- Miami is coming off a big home win against Buffalo. Denver is coming off a bad loss against St. Louis, in which they lost some of their offensive weapons to injuries. This is going to be a very good game, but expect Denver to come out on top. Prediction: Denver 33, Miami 27.
(3-8) Washington Redskins vs (6-4) San Francisco 49ers- Washington is coming off a disastrous home loss against Tampa Bay. San Francisco is coming off a big road win against the Giants at MetLife. I don't know what to make of San Francisco, but I expect them to win here at home against this messy Washington team. Prediction: San Francisco 24, Washington 20.
(7-3) Dallas Cowboys vs (3-7) New York Giants- Dallas is coming off their bye and two weeks ago, they beat Jacksonville in London. The Giants are coming off a home loss against San Francisco in which quarterback Eli Manning threw five interceptions in. Despite the teams records, this is still a great rivalry and I think this will be a fun game to watch. Expect Dallas to win a close one. Prediction: Dallas 34, NY Giants 30.
Monday, November 24th
(2-8) New York Jets vs (5-5) Buffalo Bills- The Jets are coming off a bye and two weeks ago, they won against Pittsburgh at home. Buffalo is coming off a road loss against Miami. This game is being played in Detroit due to Buffalo being snowed out. This should be an interesting game, but I think Buffalo wins it. Prediction: Buffalo 27, NY Jets.
(6-4) Baltimore Ravens vs (4-6) New Orleans Saints- Baltimore is coming off their bye and row weeks ago, they beat Tennessee at home. New Orleans is coming off a disappointing home loss against Cincinnati. Can New Orleans really lose three straight home games? I'm going to say no because their just awesome in prime time home games. Prediction: New Orleans 34, Baltimore 28.
Thursday, November 20th
(7-3) Kansas City Chiefs vs (0-10) Oakland Raiders- Kansas City is coming off a huge home win against Seattle. Oakland is coming off a road loss against San Diego.
