Week 13 — QB Rankings — RB Rankings — WR Rankings — TE Rankings — Defense Rankings — Waiver Wire Pickups — NFL Picks & Predictions
1. San Francisco 49ers = StL
2. Baltimore Ravens = @Cle
3. Chicago Bears = KC
4. Green Bay Packers = @NYG
5. New England Patriots = Ind – 60% —– Per usual, any defense facing the Indianapolis Colts should be considered a top 10 defense for the week. This week the Patriots get the lucky straw.
6. New York Jets = @Was
7. Dallas Cowboys = @Ari
8. Pittsburgh Steelers = Cin
9. Philadelphia Eagles = @Sea
10. Oakland Raiders = @Mia – 29% —– Right now it seems that the Raiders are just clicking on all cylinders. A matchup against a hot Miami offense does pose a problem, but there is still plenty of reason to believe in the Raiders defense this week.
11. Denver Broncos = @Min – 14% —– The Broncos are hot right now and playing with tons of confidence. Add in the pressure defense that Von Miller and a healthy Elvis Dumerville have been able to apply lately on opposing QBs, and the rookie Christian Ponder could be in for a long day.
12. Washington Redskins = NYJ – 21% —– With the way Mark Sanchez turns the ball over, and the ability of the Redskins defense to apply pressure on the QB and rack up sacks, this could be a surprisingly successful day for the Washington Redskins defense in this game.
13. Tennessee Titans = @Buf – 21% —– Two weeks ago this might have looked like an excellent matchup for the Titans defense, but after Ryan Fitzpatrick’s solid play in last weeks game, this matchup suddenly became a little tougher for the Titans this week.
14. Houston Texans = Atl
15. Detroit Lions = @NO
16. Atlanta Falcons = @Hou
17. Minnesota Vikings = Den – 14% —– Yes all Tebow does is win right now, but he Vikings are great at stopping the run and not great at stopping the pass. This just does not seem like a good matchup for the Broncos run heavy offensive attack in this game.
18. San Diego Chargers = @Jac
19. Miami Dolphins = Oak – 9% —– Not a great matchup for the Dolphins defense this week, but they still deserve some credit as they are definitely underrated.
20. New York Giants = GB
21. Kansas City Chiefs = @Chi
22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers = Car
23. Cincinnati Bengals = @Pit
24. Jacksonville Jaguars = SD
25. Buffalo Bills = Ten
26. New Orleans Saints = Det
27. Seattle Seahawks = Phi
