Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins at New York Jets: 2013 Week 13 NFL Pick
Miami Dolphins (5-6) at New York Jets (5-6) The Jets snapped their streak of alternating wins and losses by losing in Baltimore last week and now sit at 5-6. Geno Smith seems to have hit a rookie wall, completing 25 of 64 (39.1%) for 345 yards (5.39 YPA), no touchdowns,…

Continue reading →: New York Giants at Washington Redskins: 2013 Week 13 NFL Pick
New York Giants (4-7) at Washington Redskins (3-8) I’m torn on this one. On one hand, this line seems pretty off at first glance. The Giants aren’t significantly better than the Redskins, which is what this line would suggest, as the Giants are favored in Washington. The Redskins were favored…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals at Philadelphia Eagles: 2013 Week 13 NFL Pick
Arizona Cardinals (7-4) at Philadelphia Eagles (6-5) The Eagles snapped their 10 game home losing streak before the bye against the Redskins, beating them 24-16 in a game that wasn’t really even as close as that final score. The big difference was they had Nick Foles under center. Foles proved…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings: 2013 Week 13 NFL Pick
Chicago Bears (6-5) at Minnesota Vikings (2-8-1) The Vikings are favored here for the 3rd time this season. The first two times didn’t go well. They lost straight up at home as touchdown plus favorites over the Browns week 3 and then they got blown out as small home favorites…

WR Nate Burleson (Detroit) Percent owned (ESPN): 3.0% Nate Burleson returned from injury last week and didn’t waste any time, catching 7 passes for 77 yards and a touchdown. He might not do that every week, but he’ll be the #2 option in an explosive passing offense from here on…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars at Cleveland Browns: 2013 Week 13 NFL Pick
Jacksonville Jaguars (2-9) at Cleveland Browns (4-7) One of the most powerful trends in betting is known as the six and six trend, meaning teams who finish with 6 wins or fewer are 25-69 ATS as favorites of 6 or more since 2002. There are two issues with this trend.…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts: 2013 Week 13 NFL Pick
Tennessee Titans (5-6) at Indianapolis Colts (7-4) What the hell happened to the Colts? The same team that knocked off the Broncos, 49ers, and Seahawks before the bye has been playing terrible football in the four weeks since the bye, barely beating Tennessee and Houston by a field goal (after…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals at San Diego Chargers: 2013 Week 13 NFL Pick
Cincinnati Bengals (7-4) at San Diego Chargers (5-6) I’m pretty torn on this one. On one hand, the Chargers could be completely flat off of last week’s insane last second win in Kansas City. Favorites generally struggle off of close road wins as underdogs, going 27-51 ATS off of a…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs: 2013 Week 13 NFL Pick
Denver Broncos (9-2) at Kansas City Chiefs (9-2) It’s crazy how quickly a team can go from overrated to underrated in the blink of an eye in the NFL. Two weeks ago, the Chiefs were 8 point underdogs in Denver and the public refused to believe that a 9-0 team…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers: 2013 Week 13 NFL Pick
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-8) at Carolina Panthers (8-3) At first glance, Carolina definitely seems like the right side here. Tampa Bay’s fluky win in Detroit last week moved this line 2.5 points, from 11 to 8.5, from last week to this week. That’s significant. The reason I call Tampa Bay’s…
