NFL Week 13: Insert dumb title here

[QYFW]

Thursday's Cowboys-Vikings matchup is not the game we thought it would be a month ago. Having said that, Bradford is familiar with Dallas and the Vikings' D is still solid, so it wouldn't surprise me to see a competitive game.

Sunday features the LOLBowl, as the Bears and 49ers battle for draft positioning.

Otherwise, Chiefs-Falcons, Dolphins-Ravens and Steelers-Giants would appear to be the games of the week.

Still alive in my survivor pool. No Browns to pick against this week. SF is playing Chicago, so they are out as a go-against as well. Already took New England, as did everyone, so no one will coast on their victory over the Rams. Green Bay is out as well as I took them several weeks ago. Seattle is biggest favorite of the week, but I've already used them as well.

Who should I pick? Right now waffling between Raiders over the Bills and Steelers over the Giants. It's winner straight up; point spread doesn't matter.

 

[QYFW]

You can't take 49ers?

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Well, I could. I think they will win against the Bears. But do I want to risk a 4K payout on the 49ers?

 

[QYFW]

Saints D has been playing much better, and Lions are due to start falling apart. Might also look at a better-than-their record Chargers at home against a Bucs team due for a letdown.

Gotta take a few chances to win that kind of change.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Agreed.

I'd look at New Orleans before SF. Saints are actually one of the bigger favorites this week. Detroit is a bit of a mirage with one of the easiest schedules so far. They've been barely winning. And good luck keeping up with the Saints if Brees gets it going. Plus the Saints have two with Tampa and visit Arizona and Carolina after this. Probably last good chance to take them.

I would take SF before I take San Diego. Tampa Bay has been great the last seven weeks. Two losses, and one was in OT to the Raiders.

I'd recommend against the Steelers, even at home when they play the Giants. I think the recent defensive improvement is a mirage fueled by crappy competition. They certainly can win the game, but the Giants are playing very well and that passing game is a tough matchup for Pittsburgh.

Dak is overdue to hit the rookie wall and I'm sure old Cowboy hand Mike Zimmer will have a plan to introduce Mr. Prescott to said wall.

With the notable exception of 2014, the Cowboys are notorious for their December swoons.

Plus I'd have to root for the Steelers.

That's not worth 4k

And traveling across the country (SD is at home, right?).

That had a little something to do with the guy under center.

I don't think I've done that since Super Bowl X.

There's no bigger critic of Jeff Fisher on the planet than me; however, I've got his back in this feud with E.D.

Eric Dickerson says he will not go to Rams games as long as Jeff Fisher is the coach

No. Not with that much on the line.

[QYFW]

Does that mean he's out Sunday?

So, TSP, who you taking?

Gronk is out eight weeks.

New Orleans is my choice right now.

Dak is overdue to hit the rookie wall.

I don't think that will happen. He's not asked to do too much. O-line is sensational and he has a borderline elite running back with which to work.
