It is a big week in the NFL. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there, and may you eat good food and enjoy some football games. It is always a special time of year and like every week, it is time to make some picks. Here is what to expect from Week 13.
Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lions (Lions -9.5) – Things have not gone in the Chicago Bears’ favor lately, as they are on a five-game losing streak. They now have a record of 4-7 and are at the bottom of the NFC North. This week, they have a chance to get back on track, but a red-hot divisional rival stands in their way. The Detroit Lions are on top of the NFC North with a record of 10-1. The Lions are on a nine-game winning streak, and beat the Indianapolis Colts 24-6 in their last outing. Detroit has been spectacular all season, and this week, they should have no problems extending their winning streak.
Prediction: The Lions win
New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys (Cowboys -3.5) – The New York Giants are on a six-game losing streak and have a record of 2-9. They made a move recently, as they benched their quarterback Daniel Jones. Jones was released a little later, and he will join the Vikings’ practice squad. The Giants have not had it easy this season, but they face an opponent who has had ups and downs of their own. The Dallas Cowboys are 4-7 after winning their last game. They beat the Washington Commanders 34-26. Before that, they were on a five-game losing streak. Last week’s win had to feel good, and this week, they can pick up another win. But when it comes to the Cowboys, anything can happen.
Prediction: The Cowboys win
Miami Dolphins vs Green Bay Packers (Packers -3.5) – The Miami Dolphins are 5-6 after winning their last three games. They beat the Rams, Raiders and the Patriots. The Dolphins are inching closer to .500, but the Packers will be a tough team to beat. The Green Bay Packers are having a strong season. They are 8-3 and are third in the NFC North. This speaks volumes about this division as their record could potentially put them on top of any other division. The Packers have won their last two games and should pick up a win here.
Prediction: The Packers win
Las Vegas Raiders vs Kansas City Chiefs (Chiefs -13) – The Las Vegas Raiders are on a seven-game losing streak, and they are running into an exceptional team. They face a division rival in Kansas City. The Chiefs are the top team in the AFC West. They are 10-1 and have bounced back from their loss to the Buffalo Bills. They beat the Carolina Panthers 30-27. The Chiefs’ single loss is still on their minds, and they will take it out on the Raiders.
Prediction: The Chiefs win
Houston Texans vs Jacksonville Jaguars (Texans -4.5) – The Houston Texans lost their last outing. The Tennessee Titans beat them 32-27. Quarterback C.J. Stroud threw two interceptions in that game. The Texans can pick up a nice win over a different division rival, who is on a four-game losing streak. The Jacksonville Jaguars lost big to the Lions in their last game. The Lions beat them 52-6. Jacksonville had a chance to rest, but it may not matter. The Texans will likely win this game.
Prediction: The Texans win
Indianapolis Colts vs New England Patriots (Colts -2.5) – The Indianapolis Colts are 5-7 after losing their last game. They can recover from that loss with a win this week. The Patriots are 3-9 and are on a two-game losing streak. They lost to the Dolphins in their last one. The Colts can get closer to .500 and they will likely do so.
Prediction: The Colts win
Los Angeles Chargers vs Atlanta Falcons (Chargers -2) – The Los Angeles Chargers are having a nice season. They are 7-4 and second in the AFC West. They lost their last game, as the Baltimore Ravens beat them 30-23. The Chargers will be playing without J.K Dobbins, as he is out with a knee sprain. The Atlanta Falcons are 6-5 after losing their last two games. Even with Dobbins out, the Chargers should get this win.
Prediction: The Chargers win
Seattle Seahawks vs New York Jets (Seahawks -2) – The Seattle Seahawks are the top team in the NFC West. They won their last two games as they beat the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 and the Arizona Cardinals 16-6. They can keep their streak going with a win over a struggling team. The New York Jets are 3-8 and are on a two-game losing streak. It has been a long season for the Jets, and chances are, they will not get the win here.
Prediction: The Seahawks win
Tennessee Titans vs Washington Commanders (Commanders -6) – The Tennessee Titans picked up a win in their last game, and now have a record of 3-8. They face a team that despite their recent losing streak, they are having a solid season. The Washington Commanders are 7-5 after losing their last three games. This week they can snap their streak.
Prediction: The Commanders win
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cincinnati Bengals (Bengals -3) – The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their last game, as the Cleveland Browns beat them 24-19. The Steelers have a chance to bounce back from that loss with a win over another division rival. The Cincinnati Bengals are 4-7 and have lost their last two games. The Bengals are 1-4 in home games, and the Steelers will likely take advantage of that.
Prediction: The Steelers win
Arizona Cardinals vs Minnesota Vikings (Vikings -3.5) – The Arizona Cardinals are 6-5. They are doing well, but this week, they could get their second straight loss. The Minnesota Vikings are on a four-game winning streak and remain one of the top teams in the league. Their winning ways will continue.
Prediction: The Vikings win
Los Angeles Rams vs New Orleans Saints (Rams -2.5) – The Los Angeles Rams close to being .500. They are 5-6 after losing their last game. They can get back to .500 with a win over New Orleans. The Saints have won their last two games after their seven-game losing streak. Their current winning streak will come to an end and the Rams will get the win.
Prediction: The Rams win
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Carolina Panthers (Buccaneers -6) – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 5-6 after a nice win over the Giants. They have a chance to pick up another good win here. The Carolina Panthers put up a fight against the Chiefs in their last one, but it wasn’t enough. This time around, they will probably take another loss.
Prediction: The Buccaneers win
Philadelphia Eagles vs Baltimore Ravens (Ravens -3) – The Philadelphia Eagles are on a seven-game winning streak. Their last win was against the Rams. They run into a tough opponent this week as they take on the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are 8-4 after winning against the Chargers, and are one of the teams that are capable of snapping Philadelphia’s streak. Baltimore is 4-1 at home, and this could be another win under their belt.
Prediction: The Ravens
San Francisco 49ers vs Buffalo Bills (Bills -7) – The San Francisco 49ers are last in their division with a record of 5-6. They are also on a two-game losing streak. This week, they take on the thrilling Buffalo Bills. The Bills are on a six-game winning streak and they are the only team to beat the Chiefs this season. They look comfortable as they sit on top of the AFC East, and this is a good chance to keep their momentum going.
Prediction: The Bills win
Cleveland Browns vs Denver Broncos (Broncos -5.5) – The Cleveland Browns picked up a nice win over their rival in what was a snowy, competitive battle. The Browns improved to 3-8, and in a Monday night matchup, they head to Denver. The Denver Broncos are 7-5 and are on a two-game winning streak. The Broncos are 3-2 at home and could pick up another win here.
Prediction: The Broncos win
