NFL Week 13 Predictions

Indianapolis Colts @ New York Jets

The 5-6 Indianapolis Colts are taking on the 3-8 New York Jets on Monday Night Football to end the week. Last week the Colts missed out on having Andrew Luck and took the loss at home against the Steelers. The New York Jets are coming off of a Division loss to the New England Patriots where the Jets were leading the whole time. This week the Colts are hoping to get Andrew Luck back and gain a game in the division with Tennessee on a bye and the Texans playing at Green Bay. The Jets have nothing to really play for this week other than a draft pick. According to oddsshark.com the Indianapolis Colts are a 2.5 point favorite. I think the Colts will find a way to win this game 21-17.

Carolina Panthers @ Seattle Seahawks

The 4-7 Carolina Panthers are taking on the Seattle Seahawks in rainy Seattle Washington this Sunday night. The Panthers just don't look like themselves at this point in the year and are struggling to find their identity as a team. They also could just being doing worse this year because they are actually playing teams who are not awful like they did last year, and when tested for the first time by a good defense in the Super Bowl last year we all saw what happened. The Seattle Seahawks are coming off of a 14-5 loss at Tampa Bay last week where there offense looked just terrible. According the oddsshark.com the Seattle Seahawks are a 6.5 point favorite in this weeks matchup. I think this game will be very low scoring and the Seahawks will win 14-10, because they are the home team this week.

New York Giants @ Pittsburgh Steelers

The 8-3 New York Giants are taking on the 6-5 Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday in Heinz Field. The New York Giants are coming off of a win against the mighty Cleveland Browns last Sunday. The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a Thursday night win against the Andrew Luckless Colts. The Pittsburgh Steelers have to be the luckiest team in the NFL. The one year they are not all that good, the whole Division is awful and they'll probably get a playoff spot. There secondary is awful but keep finding ways to win games and it is clear without Antonio Brown the Steelers would be awful. The New York Giants have found a way to be good so far this year.... just to be second in their division behind the 11-1 Cowboys. According to oddssharks.com the Steelers are a 6 point favorite. This just makes no sense to me, I have to Giants winning 26-21 apparently stunning the Steelers.

Washington Redskins @ Arizona Cardinals

The 6-4-1 Washington Redskins are taking on the 4-6-1 Arizona Cardinals in Arizona this Sunday. The Redskins are coming off of a Thanksgiving day loss to the NFC East leading Dallas Cowboys. The Redskins are beaten up without star Tight End Jordan Reed this week. The Cardinals are coming off of a blowout loss to the Atlanta Falcons last week and have just not looked good this year. The last time Arizona was at home they almost lost to the 1-10 San Francisco 49ers. According to oddsshark.com the Arizona Cardinals are a 2.5 point favorite against the Redskins. All the Redskins have to do is take David Johnson out of the game to win, the Cardinals have nobody else to rely on. I believe the Redskins are going to win in a shootout 34-31 on a game winning Justin Hopkins kick.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ San Diego Chargers

The 6-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are taking on the 5-6 San Diego Chargers in sunny San Diego this Sunday. Both teams coming off of wins against teams with better records than them. Don't look now but the Buccaneers are leading there division not the Panthers! They are looking great against better teams but seem to play down to there competition. The Buccaneers defense looks fantastic and Winston is coming into himself as an NFL QB. The broken San Diego Chargers have looked great in some games this year, while looking awful in others. Phillip Rivers has been a little too turnover happy for my liking this year and basically single handedly lost the game against the Dolphins this year. We all saw what the Buccaneer defense did to Russell Wilson and the Seahawks last week and I think it will be some more of the same this week at San Diego. According to sharkodds.com the Chargers are a 5.5 point favorite. I am taking the Buccaneers traveling out west and winning this game 24-21.

Buffalo Bills @ Oakland Raiders

The 6-5 Buffalo Bills are taking on the 9-2 Oakland Raiders in the black hole this Sunday. The Buffalo Bills are on a little winning streak and are making some noise in the AFC.... like they do every year at this time then they fall apart and don't make the playoffs. The Oakland Raiders have been sneaking away victories this year under everyones nose and are at the top of the AFC. With their three headed monster running game and a play making QB in Derek Carr they look pretty unbeatable right now. According to sharkodds.com the Raiders are a 3.5 point favorite against the Bills. The Raiders are going to win this game and send the Bills season down the drain where it usually goes around this time of the year. Raiders are going to win
23-13 this week beating the spread.
