It’s one of the great days of the year. A day for football, food, and family. And we’ve got a decent enough slate of games today, which I think is important. You want some competitiveness but you also don’t want a super high level matchup either. If you’re anything like me, you’re liable to fall asleep at some point during the day, and you don’t want that to be at the cost of missing a good game. Full Week 13 picks:
Gobble Gobble
Bears @ Lions – Hoping we get to see the good Bears today and not the underachieving Bears. Either way, I feel pretty safe with the Lions here.
Giants @ Cowboys – Now I know what some of you may be thinking: The Giants were atrocious last week and the Cowboys beat the playoff-hopeful Commanders. How could you take the Giants? I’ve got two words for ya: Drew Lock. As of current, I don’t think he’s been officially named the starter today, but I’m pretty sure he will be. That’s all I need to know.
Dolphins @ Packers – No reasonable person would take Miami in a cold weather game. And I’m incredibly reasonable. I’m just hoping that they manage to play this one pretty close.
50% Off
Raiders @ Chiefs – Ah yes, the totally historic, nostalgia-inducing, entirely necessary Black Friday game. Sort of caught between the Raiders will find a way to make it close and the Chiefs maybe have learned not to play with their food after last week. Not sure but of course I’m obligated to pick KC.
The Other Games
Steelers @ Bengals – You know this will be disgustingly beautiful. Giving the Bengals advantage at home off a bye.
Chargers @ Falcons – I think that the Chargers are going to do the exact same thing to the Falcons that the Broncos did. Bad news for Atlanta.
Cardinals @ Vikings – Possibly my favorite matchup this week. I like the Cardinals to bounce back from last week and the Vikings feel like they’re due to drop one.
Eagles @ Ravens – There’s gonna be so many rushing yards in this game. This is probably the best matchup this week. Should be a great bird fight.
Well, that oughta do it.
Happy Thanksgiving from us over at Strong Side Sports.
We’ll see ya Tuesday.
