NFL: Picking 3 for Week 13

There are a lot of great games this week. But let’s take a look at 3 of the bigger games of the week.

Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts

About 6 weeks this looked like it would be a meaningless game. The Colts were undefeated and the Titans were winless. Since that time neither one of these teams have lost. In fact, we have a match-up of 2 teams with quarterbacks who are undefeated this season – Peyton Manning and Vince Young.

I hate to say that I’m not overly impressed with an 11-0 team, but that’s the truth. Sure, they are perfect so far this season but I don’t see them staying that way.

But do the Titans have enough to beat them? I really think they do. This will be a very close game. There will be a lot of points scored too. I’m thinking we’re looking at the Titans winning this game something like 31-27.

Philadelphia Eagles at Atlanta Falcons

The Eagles come into this game in a very good spot to make it to the playoffs. The Falcons are on the outside looking in. However, if the Falcons win this game then they can pretty much flip places with the Eagles. Both teams will be 7-5 and the Falcons will hold the tie breaker.

The Eagles haven’t been impressive over the last several weeks. Neither have the Falcons but I do like the Falcons in this game. They have 2 things going for them: They’re at home and they won’t have DeSean Jackson. So, we’ll go with the Falcons to win 23-16.

Minnesota Vikings at Arizona Cardinals

To me, the most interesting storyline in this game is how Favre plays and hos much pressure the Cards put on him. It’s just a hunch but I expect Favre to falter down the stretch and it might start in Arizona.

Am I going with Arizona to win the game. Actually, no I’m not. But the Vikings will barely slide by. I think we’re looking at something like 31-30. That’s assuming Warner plays. If he doesn’t then look for the Vikings to win by at least 17.
