NFL WEEK 13

WEEK 13 IN THE NFL gets started early on thursday night with a chance for the Ravens to clinch the NFC North title and a spot in the playoffs. I hate the Ravens. Moving on, yes I am officially axing the Steelers from the playoffs and hoping we get a solid top 12 pick. Ben there's always next year.

Ok...lets just get to it.

Thursday November 30, 2006 ( I turn 24 today, thank you)

RAVENS (+3) @ BENGALS

It's my Birthday and there is no way God will ruin my day with a Ravens win. Come on Bungals. I like watching CJ play as he is entertaining. This is a good mid week matchup and the Bengals are on fire as are the Ravens. Should be a good one.

Ravens 17 Bengals 21

MINNESOTA (+9) @ DA BEARS

The bears played sloppy football last week and a trip home will be just what the doctor ordered. The vikings blew there chance to win in the Dome and will feel the wrath of Urlacher. Da Bears in a easy one.

Vikings 13 Bears 24

ARIZONA (+6.5) @ ST. LOUIS

All of a sudden Bulger cannot pass, not sure what is going on with that but I have a feeling things will change at home this week. Cards only ran the ball 6 times last week or something like that and Lion's Hart had over 400 yards passing. This should be a good offensive show with the Rams ending up on top.

Cards 20 Rams 31

INDY (-7.5) @ TITANS PICK OF THE WEEK

What a line. Colts by a touchdown and a 2 point conversion. They will cover that in every quarter of this game. I like this Game A LOT. Vince will struggle against the Colts secondary who gets Bob Sanders back.

Colts 35 Titans 14

SAN FRANCISCO (+7) @ SAINTS

If this game was in SF I would pick them to cover as their D is playing unbelievable but I don't think anyone can stop Mr. Brees at this moment in time with or without Marques Colston who may be back. My players of the year so far are Brees and Gore.

49ers 17 Saints 28

ATLANTA (+2) @ REDSKINS TOP 3 PICK OF THE WEEK

The skins in my opinion were lucky to win last week against the Panthers. The falcons are an up and down team and I think Vick will be looking to make up for his middle finger salute. It's good that they are on the road this week. But in any event Matt Schaub should be the Falcons QB. my prediction is he will be if mora ever leaves.

Falcons 24 Redskins 20

KANSAS CITY (-5) @ CLEVELAND TOP 3 PICK

Gotta love the Browns. Week in and week out you can count on them to not cover the spread and thats why I love this game again. A high powered offense should be even better this week with a healthy Gonzalez and Trent's 3rd game back. LJ 31 carries 187 yards 2 tds. thank you.

Chiefs 38 Browns 13

DETROIT (+13.5) @ NEW ENGLAND

NE beat the Bears but it was ugly. Detroit got killed by the Dolphins and that was ugly as well. I think they should throw to Roy Williams at least 20 times a game if they want a chance to win this year. I like the Lions team but obviously something needs to change.

Lions 17 New England 24

SAN DIEGO (-6) @ BUFFALO

This game just missed being one of my top picks as the chargers get Merriman and Castillo back on the defensive side of the ball and since LT is playing the offense will be just fine whether he is running passing or throwing the ball. I love you LJ but I wish I would have picked LT instead.

Chargers 28 Bills 16

JETS (-2) @ PACKERS

Come on Brett you should have won at Seattle but I do put a lot of that on the Coach with some horrible decisons he made in the 1st half. The jets are a better team this year but Brett will win one at lambeau this week.

Jets 20 Packers 21

JACKSONVILLE (PICK) @ MIAMI

I like the suit Del Rio but not Jacksonville on the Road. Just too inconsistent and Miami is my darkhorse to make playoffs even though Ronnie is hurt he wasn't doing much when he was healthy. Joey needs to protect the ball.

Jax 17 Dolphins 20

HOUSTON (+3) @ RAIDERS

The raiders should win this game but I'm sure they will find a way to lose. The Raiders D has played well all year and I think they will dissapoint this week unless they can get to Carr early and often he may have a 400 yard type game.

Texans 24 Raiders 16

TAMPA BAY (+7.5) @ STEELERS

Both teams got shutout last week.

TB 12 Steelers 20

DALLAS (-3.5) @ GIANTS

I think Dallas will represent the NFC in the super bowl, at least at this point in time but for whatever reason Eli has success against the boys. Giants in a nail biter.

Cowboys 23 Giants 24

SEATTLE (+3.5) @ DENVER

Yet another game that came close to my top 3 for the week. Does vegas really think that Cutler can beat the defending NFC championship team that has a healthy Alexander back? I don't.

Seattle 24 Broncos 20

CAROLINA (-3) @ EAGLES

The eagles are nothing without mcnabb. If Delhomme doesn't win this week then I think its about time the Panthers call Jake the Snake.

PANTHERS 31 Eagles 20
