Week 13 Picks Lightning Edition

Picks
- Italicized for win- Bolded for spread

Minnesota @ Atlanta (-3) - Julio Jones appears to be clicking on all cylinders.  The Vikings are 0-1 on the road against teams projected to make the playoffs. 
 
Houston(+7) @ Tennessee - The Titans have played their opponents close lately, they have won four of their past five games but their last four wins have been by 4 points or less. 

Kansas City @ NY Jets (+3.5) - The Jets have played well at home.  The Chiefs have lost five of their past six games. 

Denver @ Miami (+1.5) - The Broncos will be without their top corner Talib.  Jay Cutler clears the concussion protocol and plays the team that drafted him. 

Indianapolis @ Jacksonville (-9.5) - Jacksonville shut out the Colts 27-0  in their first meeting.

Tampa Bay(+2.5) @ Green Bay - Jameis Winston returns, hopefully he hasn't eaten all his fingers since he's been out.

Detroit (+3) @ Baltimore - It should be a low scoring game.  The best quarterback that the Ravens have beaten this year so far is Andy Dalton.

New England (-9) @ Buffalo - The Patriots defense has picked it up.  The Bills offensive line is still sub-par. 

San Francisco(+3) @ Chicago - Jimmy Garappolo makes his first start. 

Cleveland (+14) @ LA Chargers - The Chargers actually lost to this Browns team last season. 

NY Giants (+8.5) @ Oakland - Unless Geno Smith plays terribly, which is a possibility, the Giants could make this game close. 

Carolina (+5) @ New Orleans - The Saints beat the Panthers by 3 touchdowns last time.  Their last two meetings in New Orleans have been  decided by a field goal. 

LA Rams (-7) @ Arizona - The Rams coming off a win against the Saints look to take advantage of Blaine Gabbert. 

Philadelphia @ Seattle (+5) - Seattle needs this game more than the Eagles in order to keep its playoff hopes alive. 

Pittsburgh(-5) @ Cincinnati - The Steelers appear to be a team that plays to the level of their competition and may pull out a gadget play or two against a hated division rival.
