NFL Week 13 – Three Crazy Nights, Happy Hanukkah Edition, by Ron Swanson

.

Yet another attempt at a bounce back week:

[Ed. Note – Updated Wednesday, Ron went 7-9 this week.]

Thursday Night:

No – PHILADELPHIA 8 Houston

The Texans probably have enough offense to keep this one close.

Sunday:

Yes – MINNESOTA 6 Buffalo

The Bills keep on playing close games, but they have to be running out of gas. Vikings in this one.

No – MIAMI 4 1/2 Cleveland

The Dolphins have been a better team on the road this season, but the Browns are unsettled at QB. Dolphins to cover.

Yes – TENNESSEE 10 Jacksonville

That number has to be a typo. I can’t see a team that just got shut out by the Texans giving 10 to anyone. Take the Jags.

No – KANSAS CITY 8 Denver

Two teams going in opposite directions. The Chiefs big.

Yes – NY GIANTS 7 1/2 Washington

The Giants have not been a good team in December in recent years, but what do the Redskins have to play for? Giants to cover.

Yes – CHICAGO 3 1/2 Detroit

The Bears have more balance and the Lions might be down to their 3rd QB. Bears to cover.

No – GREEN BAY 9 1/2 San Francisco

I think the 49ers might manage to keep this one close on the road.

No – New Orleans 6 1/2 CINCINNATI

As TO said last week, the Bengals are terrible. Saints keep rolling.

Yes – Atlanta 2 1/2 TAMPA BAY

The Falcons have pretty much everything working. Next year for the Buccs.

No – SAN DIEGO 12 1/2 Oakland

I hate the double digit division game, but the Raiders seem to have packed it in and it’s the time of year where the Chargers shine.

No – SEATTLE 6 1/2 Carolina

Too many points to give the Seahawks. Hard to believe one could consider taking the Panthers on the road, but I shall.

Yes – INDIANAPOLIS 5 Dallas

The Colts are reeling a bit and the Cowboys should be able to cover.

Yes – St. Louis 3 ARIZONA

Can’t put anything on the Cards after Monday night’s disaster. Rams it is.

No – BALTIMORE 3 Pittsburgh

Should be a great game. I like the Ravens at home.

Monday:

No – NEW ENGLAND 3 NY Jets

Another quality matchup. If the Jets can control the ball, they can win this one outright.
