NFL Week 13 Picks *Big Game Week*

[Daahan]

Green Bay (10-1) @ Dallas (10-1): I'm going with Green Bay on this one. I expect this to be a really good and really close game. Personally I think Green Bay has a better secondary that should be able handle Romo and his offense. I honestly don't think TO will have that big of a game because he'll have Al Harris on him the whole time. People have questioned Green Bay's running game but they have found a pretty good running back in Ryan Grant; he's not great but he can definitely set up the play-action for Favre as well as prevent too many 3rd and Longs. I find GB's defense to be more aggressive and consistent.

Detroit (6-5) @ Minnesota (5-6): Even without Adrian Peterson, Minnesota can play pretty well on offense (with Chester Taylor that is), but the Vikings get AP back this week. Despite having people like Shaun Rogers, I don't think the Lions will be able to stop the powerful one-two punch of Taylor and Peterson. The Detroit offense has been incredibly out of sync lately and the good run defense of Minnesota should be able to stop Kevin Jones.

Seattle (7-4) @ Philadelphia (5-6)

San Diego (6-5) @ Kansas City (4-7) Picking KC for the upset here. With the good CBs that KC has, I don't think Philip Rivers will have a very good game and LT hasn't been playing like he was last season.

New York Jets (2-9) @ Miami (0-11) Despite having an 0-11 record, Miami has lost 5-6 of their games by only 3 points. I think Beck will get his first win as a starter in this game and Miami to go at least 1-15.

Jacksonville (8-3) @ Indianapolis (9-2) Indy still has all those injuries and Jacksonville seems to be getting better and better, especially with the return of David Garrard. I'm picking Indy to win, but I think it will be a pretty close game, and not a blowout like what happened when these two teams faced each other earlier in the season.

San Fransisco (3-8) @ Carolina (4-7)

Houston (5-6) @ Tennessee (6-5) Houston for the upset.

Atlanta (3-8) @ St. Louis (2-9)

Buffalo (5-6) @ Washington (5-6)

Cleveland (7-4) @ Arizona (5-6)

Denver (5-6) @ Oakland (3-8)

New York Giants (7-4) @ Chicago (5-6) I think the Giants will have another season where they perform very well the first half of the season, then fall in to a ditch the second half. Picking Chicago here for the upset; seeing that Chicago's defense is playing a little bit better, seeing that the Bears Adrian Peterson will probably provide Chicago with a running game, and seeing that Grossman isn't flinging the ball in to the air like a moron.

Tampa Bay (7-4) @ New Orleans (5-6)

Cincinnati (4-7) @ Pittsburgh (8-3) I was going to pick the Bengals for the upset, but I think the Steelers will win this. However, I think it will be a close game rather than a blowout.

New England (11-0) @ Baltimore (4-7) New England; hands down. Baltimore having a good run D doesn't mean crap against the Patriots. Baltimore has no offense and an old defense.

It's a shame that half the country won't even get to see the Dallas/Pack game -__-

Cable companies are stupid

[octopus]

You know, Dallas/Green Bay doesn't feel like a big game to me. Maybe it's the whole "NFC sucks" factor... Or maybe the TV people are not making enough effort hyping it.

I'll be streaming it on NFL.com. I hope it's a trend they keep up with.

[melbufrauma]

this question goes out to anyone who has NFLNHD, does everyones have that fuzzy grey bar at the top of the screen only on that channel or is it just me?

[Dokes]

After Cinci played Sunday, and Pittsburgh last night, I'm going to side with Cinci. Really hoping for a win, as I live in Cinci and lived in Pittsburgh. Need something to throw in my friend's faces.

I don't know what TV you're watching but the game being incredibly hyped on ESPN and other Sports Networks. It's a Big Game nevertheless; it's basically going to decide Home Field Advantage in the playoffs for the NFC and will also declare NFC supremacy for either of these teams.

This is Rex Grossman we're talking about here. We're talking 210 lbs. of twisted steel and sex appeal. I'm not just a gunslinger. I'm a cumslinger. Throwing that ball long tells all the Rexettes that I am fucking out there. On the edge. Where I gotta be. The ladies love the danger. The unpredictability. Oh, maybe I'll tease them with a pretty touch pass every now and again. But then I'm gonna go right back to pumping that ball out for all it's worth. It tells them I throw like I fuck. That's how we do things in the sexy business.

LOL

[Daahan]

Haha that is hilarious.

Who would have thought in the beginning of the season that the Eagles stood a chance at the playoffs?

The Wild Card race in the NFC is heating up, I'm a bit more excited than I should be for a team that will inevitably lose in the first round.

Well, the wild cards will inevitably be playing the Seahawks and the Buccaneers in the first round, both of which are beatable teams. Don't give up hope on the wild cards just yet.

The Thursday GB-Dallas game, will that be broadcast on any of the regular channels or is it NFLNetowork only?

Being in Canada I'm betting it would be ESPN if anything, as I'm pretty sure TSN/CBC will be running hockey games that nigh.

[Tyche]

I think the NFC, Top to bottom, isn't much worse than the AFC. It's just the top (as in top, i mean the pats) are just miles ahead of everyone. Until the colts get healthy, I'd put the cowboys and packers at or slightly ahead of them.

As far as the NFLNHD, Is this what you are talking about? Thought it was just me. It's fucking annoying, but I only get it at the top.

I don't know, because on NFL.com they listed this past Thursday's games as NFL Network but when I turned the TV on Thursday I got all three games. I think one was on Fox and other two were on NBC.

I'm really hoping that's the case for this game. If not I'll probably just go out to a sports bar and watch it.

I wish I could go to a sport bar and watch it. Fucking Canucks are playing the Blue Jackets that night, albeit 2 hours later, but Hockey always trumps Football around where I live.

[Daahan]

The game should so be Sunday Night Football.

The game should so be Sunday Night Football.

Agreed.
