NFL Week 13 Survivor and Pick'em

Survivor Picks:
Green Bay Packers over Detroit Lions - Packers are starting to find their way again, I'm bullish on them.
Cincinnati Bengals over Cleveland Browns - Usually the Browns are good for one random win against the Bengals, not this year with these squads.
New England Patriots over Philadelphia Eagles - Patriots off a lose to the Broncos, they are going to have a big week.

Week 13:
Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions (GB -3) - Packers are coming back into full form. They will have a big Thursday against the Lions who just had a big Thanksgiving game and will be slightly more relaxed.

New York Jets @ New York Giants (NYJ -1) - Giants are in the home stretch which means they will start to play amazing. This is the time that Eli Manning shines. I also see Odell Beckham having a good week despite the Revis Island factor.

Arizona Cardinals @ St. Louis Rams (Ari -7) - Cardinals had a weird win against the 49ers, the Rams will come out hungry from the embarrassing loss, just enough to keep it competitive. Jeff Fisher's attitude in last weeks post game conference was one of sprints all week for the Rams.

Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (TB -1) - This will be a good game. Bucs pull out a close win but most likely by a point. Doug Martin should be kept in check but Jameis Winston will air it out to Mike Evans.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns (Cin -10) - Bengals win and win big. Browns need to work on all areas of the ball.

Seattle Seahawks @ Minnesota Vikings (Even) - Seattle had a good week but they were home and I'm not convinced. Vikings continue to impress at home with solid defense.

Houston Texans @ Buffalo Bills (Buff -3) - Buffalo edges a win against a very good Houston team but the Texans with the points is the smart pick. Tyrod Taylor against this Texans defense will be fun to watch.

Baltimore Ravens @ Miami Dolphins (Mia -4) - Baltimore barely beat a terrible Cleveland team. Miami is just below average. They win and cover with a pick six (sorry Matt Shaub).

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans (Ten -1) - Marcus Mariota has a big week at home and beats the Jags. When the Jags lose it's by more than a field goal. Titans have a big push that surprises everyone.

San Francisco 49ers @ Chicago Bears (Chi -7.5) - Bears win but the 49ers are giving a strong push down the stretch. They keep it within 6.

Denver Broncos @ San Diego Chargers (Den -4) - Broncos have a down week after the big win. They still win this week but Chargers keep it close in a last push down the stretch.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Oakland Raiders (KC -2.5) - Chargers edge out a close win of two teams who are both surprising the critics this season.

Philadelphia Eagles @ New England Patriots (NE -10.5) - Patriots have a big week after the loss and win by 14.

Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints (Car -7.5) - Panthers. By at least 10.

Indianapolis Colts @ Pittsburgh Steelers (Even) - I believe in Pittsburgh despite the loss. Maybe I'm just not sold on the Colts..actually that's exactly what it is. They keep winning but I'm not sold.

Dallas Cowboys @ Washington Redskins (Wash -4.5) - Washington wins this one. They are good at home.
