Week 13 Picks

Lamar Jackson has been kind enough
to let RG3 play the last 3 weeks

Philadelphia Eagles (-10)(LOCK) @ Miami Dolphins-  The Dolphins currently have more wins against winning teams than the Dallas Cowboys.  That being said, the Eagles are starting to get their receivers back including Alshon Jeffrey and Nelson Agholoor which should open the offense for running back Miles Sanders and tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert.   

New York Jets @ Cincinatti Bengals (+3.5)-  The Bengals are inserting quarterback Andy Dalton back in the lineup in an effort to avoid being winless. The Jets success has been keyed by their defense by stopping the run and Sam Darnold playing pretty well.  

Tennessee Titans (-2.5) @ Indianapolis Colts -  Both teams will rely upon their running games.  The Titans offense appears to be clicking more than the Colts who have been banged up with injuries to Marlon Mack and T.Y. Hilton.  

Washington Redskins @ Carolina Panthers (-10)(LOCK) - All the Redskins have to do is slow down Christian McCaffery.  That being said, that's a tax easier said than done. DJ Moore has 9 or more targets in the last 6 games.

Green Bay Packers (-6.5)(LOCK) @ New York Giants - Aaron Rodgers looks to bounce back after a tough week against the 49ers.  Saquon Barkley could get it going against Green Bay's below average rushing defense.  Look for the Packers to get Davante Adams and Aaron Jones to get more involved in the passing game.  


San Francisco 49ers @ Baltimore Ravens (-6.5) -  The 49ers defense have had trouble with mobile quarterbacks including Kyler Murray which leads to the Ravens having edge in this matchup.  Plus the Ravens should fare much better at home against this west coast team.   

Tampa Bay Bucanneers (+1) @ Jacksonville Jaguars - Jameis Winston has been highly explosive although he is error prone. Leonarde Fournette has been solid but goes against a pretty solid Bucs' matchup although perhaps the Jaguars can take advantage of their porous pass defense.

Cleveland Browns(-1.5) @ Pittsburgh Steelers - Devlin Hodges makes his first start over Mason Rudolph.  Things could chippy in this game two weeks after the Myles Garrett incident.  


LA Rams (-3)  @ Arizona Cardinals  - Jared Goff has had zero passing touchdowns in the month of November.  That being said the Cardinals defense has been really bad.  Kyler Murray showing up on the injury report gives me doubts whether the Cardinals can complete the upset.

Oakland Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs (-10) - Derek Carr has traditionally struggled at Arrowhead stadim.

LA Chargers (-3) @ Denver Broncos -  Phillip Rivers has been playing pretty badly lately but perhaps he doe enough to bounce back against a division rival.  The Broncos will debut Drew Locke at quarterback who may struggle.

New England Patriots (-3.5)(LOCK) @ Houston Texans -  The Patriots will probably utilize their running game and passing game against a Texans team that has struggled since losing JJ Watt for the season.  


Minnesota Vikings @ Seattle Seahawks (-3)(LOCK)- Kirk Cousins undefeated at primetime this season could come to an end at the hands of the Seahawks.
