NFL Picks: Sunday and Monday Games to Watch and Bet On
A Week 13 breakdown of the NFL games, from the Eagles' matchup against their division rivals to the top teams in the league taking on struggling opponents. We'll break down all the action, giving you the lowdown on who's got what it takes to come out on top.
Rams (-10.5) at Panthers
The Rams are looking good after beating the Eagles in a major upset last week. As they continue their winning streak, they should be able to take care of business against the Panthers and move closer to securing that 1 seed in the NFC.
Jaguars (-6) at Titans
It's time to think twice about betting on the Jaguars this week. With a losing record and struggling offense, it may be wise to steer clear from making a wager.
Cardinals at Buccaneers (-3.5)
The Bucs have lost three straight games and are desperately trying to keep pace with the Panthers. Their win against the Cardinals should give them an edge over their opponents in this matchup.
Texans at Colts (-3.5)
While it's uncertain whether or not the Texans will be able to pull off a comeback, they've won three consecutive games and need all the help they can get from their opponents.
Saints at Dolphins (-5)
The Dolphins have had an impressive run recently with three wins in their last four games against other weak teams. The Saints' chances are slim given that matchup between two struggling football clubs.
Falcons (-3) at Jets
With no discernible strategy, one could easily guess what Jimmy has for his pick - a coin flip.
49ers (-5) at Browns
The 49ers have shown great success against the worst teams in the league. The same applies to their opponents here who are another struggling football team.
Seahawks (-12) at Vikings
The Seahawks will try to contain J.J. McCarthy and prevent him from making bad throws during this matchup.
Bills (-3) at Steelers
Josh Allen's stats have dropped since he moved out as quarterback in the previous match. If their offensive line can stay intact, there should be a good chance of winning that game against T.J. Watt.
Raiders at Chargers (-9.5)
Chip Kelly's return to coach the Raiders has been disastrous so far and Greg Olson seems to have an even worse track record for his job as OC. That could bring their chances down even lower in this matchup.
Broncos (-6.5) at Commanders
If they beat the dead Commanders, then that would be a huge win, but it is still hard to see them pull off that victory given how far behind they are.
Giants at Patriots (-7)
The Giants have had some losses on their last few games, and the Patriots will likely keep up with their performance of the last week.
No picks were available for Sunday as none of the teams in this list took place against any of them.

! The Rams look super solid right now, but we can't count out the Panthers just yet. The Jaguars are a total dark horse, though - I'm not sure if they've got what it takes to pull off a win 
. On the flip side, the Bucs could really use this win to turn their season around 
.
... and then there's Chip Kelly's Raiders 
. That guy's record is just crazy! Anyways, Sunday night should be lit - the Falcons vs Jets game is basically a coin flip 
.
.
. Let me give you some stats on the favorites:
(not a good look, guys!)
(Bucs are due for a comeback)
(Falcons' chances are slim too)
(watch out for penalties!)
( maybe we're due for some high-scoring games?)
, but they're still -10.5 against the Panthers? That seems kinda high to me 
.
I mean, have you seen the Texans' stats lately? They've won three straight games and need a win against the Colts to stay in contention 
. But we're still talking about them being underdogs by -3.5? That's some crazy value if you ask me 
.
And then there's the Saints-Dolphins game which has all the makings of a trap game for the Saints 
. The Dolphins have been on fire with three wins in four games, but those were against weaker teams 
.
I'm also curious to see how the 49ers do against the Browns. They've had great success against struggling teams, but can they keep it up? 
.
.

I swear, it's like the current games are a whole different ball game. Remember when NFL games used to be so much more exciting back in the 80s and 90s? It felt like every team had a real shot at winning. Nowadays, it's all about these powerhouse teams with huge point spreads against struggling opponents. The Rams looking good? Yeah, I've seen that before, just like when Brett Favre was leading the Packers to victory back in the day 
. And what's up with all these teams having coaches who are basically one-game wonders? Chip Kelly coming in and doing so poorly already? That reminds me of poor Pete Carroll when he took over the Seahawks...
. Like, who comes up with this stuff? It's always the same thing - "the Rams will win" or "the Patriots are going to crush it". Can't we get some actual analysis for once? 
. Maybe someone who's actually watched the game footage or spoken to a coach or player would have something insightful to say... 
and it's crazy to think they can take care of business against the Panthers. I'm all for betting on them 
with Chip Kelly at the helm, that's gotta bring their losing streak back down even lower.
.
. What do you guys think? Are there any teams that are flying under the radar for you?
? I mean, have you seen the state of our oceans lately? It's heartbreaking. And what's with all these teams struggling against each other? Can't they just work together to make a positive impact on their communities? 
. Don't know how else to explain it... just a gut feel I guess 
, but seriously, i'm not really feeling the jaguars right now, they're like that friend who always flakes out on plans... 
, but hey, if you wanna take a chance on them, go for it! 
. Cardinals at Buccaneers seems like a tricky one though... both teams are struggling so it's hard to pick a winner 
. Don't wanna be a bearer of bad news tho 
.
.
, and takin' down the Panthers should be a cakewalk for 'em. On the other hand, I gotta say, I'm keepin' an eye on the Jaguars this week - they're strugglin' big time 
Chip Kelly's doin' some weird stuff out there, and I'm just like, "What's goin' on, dude?" 
My kid would be like "Dad, can we watch football instead?" and that's all the motivation I need to change the channel. The Rams seem like a solid team, but let's be real, it's all about the commercials during the game. 
And don't even get me started on the Saints' chances – slim indeed!
