What a way to win a regular play on Green Bay, with an iffy facemask call and then a Hail Mary by Rodgers to Rodgers. I am sure there are a lot of very disappointed Lions fans out there but it was a helluva comeback for a Packers team that seems to have fallen into an abyss. Well anyway here are the rest of my picks for week 13 in the NFL. 

BEST BETS

My FIRST BEST BET this week again is on the CAROLINA PANTHERS on the road giving the New Orleans Saints 6 1/2 points. Really when will the Panthers actually get the respect they have earned this year. The Saints are awful this year, their defense is the pits and their offense is offensive. I see the Panthers winning this game easily by double digits and I for one have no problem again making the Panthers my first BEST BET of the week.

My NEXT BEST BET this week is on the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS at home giving the Philadelphia Eagles 7 1/2 points. The Patriots are coming home after losing an OT game to the Broncos last week and I for one know they will be in a very foul mood, pun intended. The Eagles have given up 90 points in the past 2 weeks and unless they got miraculously better since Thanksgiving they are in for yet another rout. Belichick and Brady will not lose back to back games and will keep their undefeated record at home intact. I see the Pats putting up enough points to win this game by at least 3 tds. I am making the Patriots my next BEST BET of the week.

My NEXT BEST BET is on the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS/OAKLAND RAIDERS game to go OVER 44. The last 3 games these 2 have played each other the game has gone over the total and with the way both these teams are playing I can definitely see it happening again. The Chiefs during this current 5 game winning streak are averaging 30 ppg and with the weapons that Carr has with Crabtree and Cooper I see the Raiders scoring at least 3 tds, making this an over game. I will make the OVER in this game my next BEST BET for this week.  

My LAST BEST BET this week is on the CINNCINATI BENGALS on the road giving 8 1/2 points to the Cleveland Browns. This one is easy for me, the Browns have lost their last 6 games SU and 5-1 ATS. Last time these 2 met Cincy won by 21 and last year in Cleveland they shut the Browns out and I can see the same thing happening again. The Browns losing streak will continue SU and ATS. I will make the Bengals my last BEST BET of the week.

REGULAR PLAYS

As for regular plays I like Minnesota at home getting 2 1/2 points from Seattle. I like Pittsburgh at home giving 7 to Indianapolis. I like the Arizona on the road giving St. Louis 4 points.  I like Chicago at home giving 7 points to San Francisco. And finally I like the OVER 43 in the Broncos/Chargers game, and the OVER 42 in the Cowboys/Redskins game.

Well that's it for this week in the NFL...

And as always  - Remember to bet with your head and not over it.
