The NFL is back for Week 13 with an altered schedule as we head into the playoff home stretch. There’s no Thursday Night Football due to Covid-19 delays in Week 12, and now we get two games on Monday and one on Tuesday. Just like we expected!
It’s time once again to start picking winners. Each Thursday, I put together a list of straight up picks for the weekly schedule. I’ll have picks against the spread over the weekend, but this is a chance to just pick winners and losers. This year though, I’ve changed up the approach. Instead of simply picking winners and losers, I’m also grouping the picks by confidence — high confidence, medium confidence, low confidence, no confidence.
I had a solid performance last week, going 12-4. Below I’ve posted all my picks, with my record in that confidence level in parenthesis.
High confidence (39-8)
Vikings over Jaguars
Steelers over Washington
Seahawks over Giants
Packers over Eagles
Medium confidence (40-19)
Titans over Browns
Dolphins over Bengals
Colts over Texans
Raiders over Jets
Chiefs over Broncos
Ravens over Cowboys (pending Lamar Jackson news)
Low confidence (18-23)
Bears over Lions
Cardinals over Rams
No confidence (15-9)
Falcons over Saints
Chargers over Patriots
49ers over Bills
