RJ's NFL Picks, Week Thirteen - Page 3

Part of: NFL Picks

RJ's Pick - Kansas City by 2

Seattle 7-4 at Philadelphia 5-6 - 1:00 pm (Sheridan's line: No line)

Philadelphia head coach Andy Reid will probably give QB Donovan McNabb the start this week instead of A. J. Feeley, unless Eagles fans riot in disgust and mindless rage - always a possibility! But whoever starts under center for Philly, Seattle should win this one. They've won three in a row, and QB Matt Hasselbeck has been solid pretty much all season. (There's no quarterback controversy in Seattle!) The Seahawks are just 2-3 on the road this year, but the Eagles are 2-3 at home.

RJ's Pick - Seattle by 8

San Francisco 3-8 at Carolina 4-7 - 1:00 pm (Sheridan's line: Carolina by 2.5)

Yuck. Carolina hasn't won a game since Eid, and is still winless at home. The 49ers are an embarrassment as well. Why couldn't this game be on the NFL Network???

RJ's Pick - San Francisco by 6

Cleveland 7-4 at Arizona 5-6 - 4:05 pm (Sheridan's line: Arizona by 1.5)

The Browns have won four of five since their bye week. The Cardinals have lost four of their last six. University of Phoenix Stadium is usually not a fun place to play for visiting teams, but I'm going to go with the Brownies anyway.

RJ's Pick - Cleveland by 5

Denver 5-6 at Oakland 3-8 - 4:05 pm (Sheridan's line: Denver by 3.5)

Denver just completely blew it against the Bears last Sunday. That was a real nut-crushing kind of loss. Just totally, absolutely horrible. Meanwhile, the Raiders actually won a game last week. I hear head coach Lane Kiffin was so excited, his testicles finally descended.

RJ's Pick - Denver by 7

New York Giants 7-4 at Chicago 5-6 - 4:15 pm (Sheridan's line: New York Giants by 2)

The Giants were slaughtered at home by the Vikings last week. QB Eli Manning completed just 43% of his passes and threw four interceptions. He's had just one good outing in his last five games - and that was against Detroit's pass defense, so it almost doesn't count. The Bears somehow got a 'W' last week, despite not having a running game, a passing game, or cheerleaders.

    I want to say Packers badly over the Cowboys. But the Cowboys seem to be a better all-around better offense and they are playing in Dallas. Logically, you have to go with Dallas in this toss up. But since I am an Eagles fan I will go with Green Bay.

    OK, still on a limb... and I'm well aware that I'm a newbie and no one knows me, but love to add my $.02 to anything (when did they do away with the cent symbol?).
    GB (only cuz I detest Dallas so), CAR, IND, KC, MIA, MN, TB, PHI, StL, HOU, WAS, AZ, DEN, NYG, PIT, NE

    I think GB will struggle with putting up points in this game. I say Dallas covers 7.. i would feel much more comfortable with a 6 pt tease though :)

    Looking at the "expert" picks, not a single one picked KC over SD...that would be quite an upset pick for me if the Chiefs can pull out a win...

    lions allowing 28 pts in 2Q... wow..
