Broncos-Ravens and Week 13 Picks

The Broncos nightmare season continues as they head to Baltimore to take on the Ravens. There is no way the Broncos are beating the Ravens on the road this year, and this loss will send Denver to 3-9 for the year. 

BALTIMORE (-8) over Denver

Final Score: Ravens-27 Broncos-6

Now, onto the picks for Week 13....

Last Week's Record: 9-6-1

Overall Record: 91-77-13

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

ATLANTA (+1) over Pittsburgh: Atlanta is 5-7 but still has a chance to win the NFC South. The Steelers are 4-7 and holding onto hopes to make a run at a wild card spot. I think the Falcons find a way to win this game at home.

Green Bay (-4) over CHICAGO: At 4-8, the Packers are pretty much done in the NFC playoff picture. The Bears are 3-9 and looking to continue to develop Justin Fields the rest of the season. Look for the Packers to continue their dominance over the Bears. 

DETROIT (+1) over Jacksonville: The Lions are 4-7 but have played hard, close games each week. The Jags are 4-7 and coming off a win over the Ravens. Someone is getting to 5-7 after this game, and I think it will be the Lions. 

Cleveland (-6) over HOUSTON: Deshaun Watson returns after his suspension to lead the 4-7 Browns down the stretch run. Naturally, he faces his old team in his return. The Browns will take care of Houston in Watson's 2022 debut. 

Jets (+3) over MINNESOTA: The Vikings are 9-2 and comfortably lead the NFC North. The Jets are 7-4 and battling for the final wild card spot in the AFC. All week I liked the Vikings, but I think the Jets are going to pull this game out somehow.

GIANTS (+3) over Washington: The Giants are 7-4 and Washington is 7-5, so this is a huge game in the NFC. I think the G-Men stop their slide and get a big, home win over Washington. 

Tennessee (+5) over PHILADELPHIA: The Titans are 7-4 and looking like they will take the AFC South once again. The Eagles are 10-1 and looking for the #1 seed in the NFC. I think this is a good game, but I'll take the Titans and the points. 

Seattle (-7) over RAMS: The Rams are 3-8 and having an awful season. The Seahawks are 6-5 and in the thick of the playoff race in the NFC. I can't see the Rams, all banged up and beat up, giving Seattle much of a game here. 

SAN FRANCISCO (-4) over Miami: This is a very interesting game on Sunday. Miami is 8-3 and the 49ers are 7-4. It pitts Kyle Shanahan vs his old protege, Mike McDaniel. Good matchup between two good teams. I like the 49ers to pull through in the end. 

Kansas City (-2) over CINCINNATI: Another big game in the late, afternoon window on Sunday. The Bengals are 7-4 and fighting for 1st place in the AFC North. The Chiefs are 9-2 and looking to get the #1 seed in the AFC. I think the Chiefs get revenge on the Bengals from last year's AFC Championship Game. 

Chargers (-1) over LAS VEGAS: The Chargers are 6-5 and fighting for the last wild card spot in the AFC. The Raiders are 4-7 but winners of their last two games. This is a big game for the Chargers, and I think they get it done on the road. 

DALLAS (-10) over Indianapolis: The Cowboys are 8-3 and still in the mix in the NFC East for the division title. The Colts are 4-7-1 and look like they are done. Take the Cowboys at home. 

TAMPA BAY (-3) over New Orleans: The Saints are 4-8 and the Bucs are 5-6, with Tampa Bay leading the NFC South. I think the Bucs will find a way to get the win at home and get to 6-6.
