This Week in the NFL - week 13

The Thursday night games are upon us. A great match up this week that most won't see due to the NFL Network.

Thursday

Packers +7 at Cowboys
We really aren't sure who is going to win this one, but we think it will be close. Would love to see the Favres win it though.

Sunday

Bears +1.5 vs. Giants
Big Blue travels to Chicago and we're concerned. Eli just looked like a boy among men and we've seen how the Giants have played in the 2nd half of the season under Coughlin. With the RB situation still up in the air this week, we're going to have to go with the home team.

Jets +1 at Dolphins
Boy this could be ugly. Jets have 2 wins, the fish have zip. No team wants to be the one to give the Dolphins their first win. Jets should survive.

Falcons over the Rams
No line on this game, as the QB sitch for both teams is in the air. Not like anyone cares.

Bills +5.5 at Redskins
As we said the other day, we are done with the Bills bandwagon, but they shouldn't be nearly a TD underdog to a crappy Redskins team. Especially one that is in mourning at the moment.

Vikings -3.5 vs. Lions
We're not fooled by this Vikings team win over the Giants. The Lions have lost 3 straight and generally suck on the road. The difference here is that the Vikings will be able to run the ball down the Lions' throats.

Texas +3.5 at Titans
Titans will win this one, but it should be a close one. Rob Bironas game winning FG, perhaps?

Jags +6.5 at Colts
The Colts are still reeling from injuries and the Jags are coming on strong. Could win this game outright.

Chargers +5.5 at Chiefs
The Chiefs couldn't even get it done against the Raiders.

Seahawks +3 at Eagles
Why exactly is Philly favored? Just because they played over their heads against the Pats?

Panthers -3 vs. 49ers
Flip a coin. The Panthers 'D' should be able to shut down Frank Gore and that will be the difference.

Browns +1 at Cardinals
The 49ers exploited the Cards 'D', so Derek Anderson definitely will.

Broncos -3.5 at Raiders
The Broncos are reeling after blowing a 14 point lead to the Bears, but this Raiders team is flat out bad.

Bucs +3 at Saints
Sticking our necks out here since the Bucs only scored 19 against the Skins. Which Saints team will show? We're counting on the Bucs defense to make it close.

Steelers -7 vs. Bengals
A bad loss to the Jets on the road. A rainy/muddy stinkfest win against the Dolphins. Surely the Steelers are ready to explode.

Patriots -20.5 at Ravens
We refused to give 24 points against the Eagles last week, but this Ravens team is well below the Eagles in talent and desire. A MNF disaster.
