Week 13 Predictions

Ok so your girl finished 11-5 which is pretty good. Let's try to see if we can top that this week. Let's go:

Houston Texans (5-6) vs Philadelphia Eagles (7-4)

Texans come in off a shut out win over the Titans at home last week. QB Matt Schaub had a good game completing 25 of 35 for 178 yds and 2 TDs with WR Andre Johnson catching 1 of them. RB Arian Foster rushed for 143 yds on 30 carries. Texans defense played well last week but are still ranked 28th overall which is keeping them from winning consistently. Eagles come in off a loss last week to the Bears in Chicago. QB Michael Vick threw his 1st INT of the season but still managed to complete 29 of 44 for 333 yds and 2 TDs with WR Jeremy Maclin catching 1 of them. Eagles are ranked last in red zone defense and need to keep their opponents out the endzone if they hope to make and do well in the post season. This should be a good match up. Prediction: Eagles

Cleveland Browns (4-7) vs Miami Dolphins (6-5)

Browns come in off a win against the Panthers at home last week. QB Jake Delhomme had a terrible game throwing 0 TDs and 2 INTs. RB Peyton Hillis received 6 catches for 63 yards and rushed for 131 yds on 26 carries for 3 TDs. WR Josh Cribbs is questionable for this game with an injured right foot. Browns defense is ranked #21 which is why they are below .500. Dolphins come in off a win last week against the Raiders in Oakland. QB Chad Henne completed 17 of 30 for 307 yds, 2 TDs and 1 INT. RB Ricky Williams rushed for 95 yds on 20 carries and 1 TD. Dolphins have a tough run defense and with Delhomme starting expect the Browns to put the ball in the hands of Hillis. He will not find much success against this defense. Prediction: Dolphins

San Francisco 49ers (4-7) vs Green Bay Packers (7-4)

49ers are in the terrible NFC West division and despite their poor record are only 1 game out of 1st place. This only speaks to how bad the division is. Packers meanwhile are fighting for a playoff birth in the tough NFC North division. They need to win out to have a potential for the postseason. Prediction: Packers

Denver Broncos (3-8) vs Kansas City Chiefs (7-4)

Broncos are a terrible team with one of the worst rated defenses in the entire NFL. They cannot keep a healthy running game going since week to week one or more of their RBs are injured. Having to rely on the air attack gives teams easy coverage options. Chiefs are leading their division and are trying to make the playoffs after years of poor records. They are a good team and a fired up for a win at home where they lead the match-up series 4-1. Prediction: Chiefs

Buffalo Bills (2-9) vs Minnesota Vikings (4-7)

Bills have an atrocious defense that has been killing them this season. Vikings offense has been awful and very inconsistent. This will not be a good game but give it to the home team. Prediction: Vikings

Chicago Bears (8-3) vs Detroit Lions (2-9)

As much as I would like to hope for a good game the Bears defense will be too much for the Lions. Prediction: Bears

Jacksonville Jaguars (6-5) vs Tennessee Titans (5-6)

An AFC South division match-up. Titans are 1 game out of the lead while the Jags sit atop with the Colts. Titans are on a skid right now and need a win. They will have QB Kerry Collins back this week who with WR Randy Moss hope to turn things around for them. Jags are inconsistent but have done enough to keep them within playoff contention. Prediction: Jaguars

Washington Redskins (5-6) vs New York Giants (7-4)

Redskins are too inconsistent and unreliable and Giants are hungry to make the postseason. They will win at home. Prediction: Giants

New Orleans Saints (8-3) vs Cincinnati Bengals (2-9)

Bengals have all the parts to be a good team they just arent. Saints are 1 game out of the divison lead and need to keep winning to stay within contention. Prediction: Saints

Atlanta Falcons (9-2) vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-4)

Bucs are a surprisingly good team but the Falcons are playing superb on both sides of the ball. Prediction: Falcons

Carolina Panthers (1-10) vs Seattle Seahawks (5-6)

Panthers stink. Seahawks are inconsistent but dont need to do much to beat the Panthers. Prediction: Seahawks

St. Louis Rams (5-6) vs Arizona Cardinals (3-8)

Cardinals need to get a better starting QB before they will ever return to playoff contention. Prediction: Rams

Dallas Cowboys (3-8) vs Indianapolis Colts (6-5)

Cowboys are not a good team this year and Colts need the win to keep atop of the AFC South division. Prediction: Colts

Pittsburgh Steelers (8-3) vs Baltimore Ravens (8-3)

This going to be a super defensive battle against the AFC North rivals. Give this one to the home team. Prediction: Ravens

New York Jets (9-2) vs New England Patriots (9-2)

A hard nose tough battle against these AFC East rivals. Both are trying to stay atop the divison and both are playing superb ball. Pats play tough at Gillette Stadium so I give this to the home team. Prediction: Patriots
