NFL Office Pool Picks Week 13 - ATS Predictions for Every Game!
The NFL season continues to tick towards a conclusion, as we are now officially in the final third of the NFL regular season. There are just six weeks to go for NFL teams to make a late dash up the standings, and the same can be said about your office pool standings at this stage of the season. Last week, we went a sparkling 9-4 against the spread to bring our season total to 90-85-3. Favorites went 9-4 straight up and a respectable 7-6 against the spread. All 32 teams are back in action for Thanksgiving weekend, which promises to be a pivotal week of NFL football.
Doc’s Sports offers NFL expert picks for every game on our NFL predictions page.
Detroit Lions (-10.5) Over Chicago Bears
The Lions continue to dominate on both sides of the ball. They haven’t allowed a touchdown in their last 10 quarters of action and have scored an incredible 95 points in that span. Chicago had a heartbreaking overtime loss last week against the Vikings and will be coming into this one determined to keep their playoff hopes alive. Unfortunately for Caleb Williams and the Bears, no amount of sheer grit will allow them to keep it close against Detroit. Lions 35, Bears 13
Dallas Cowboys (-4) Over New York Giants
The Cowboys pulled off a stunning upset last week against the Commanders and will keep their newfound momentum alive against the Giants. Micah Parsons is back for the Cowboys, and his defensive impact cannot be overstated. The Giants don’t really have a spark on either side of the ball and are already looking ahead to the draft next season. Dallas’s offense still sucks, but their defense will allow them to pick up a narrow victory. Cowboys 20, Giants 14
Green Bay Packers (-3.3) Over Miami Dolphins
The Packers beat up a helpless 49ers team last week, and the Dolphins defense will not give them too much resistance here. The Packers are 8-3 on the season with their three losses coming to the Lions (10-1), Vikings (9-2), and Eagles (9-2). The Dolphins are not on the level needed to compete with Green Bay, and this spread isn’t wide enough to pick up the points. Packers 30, Dolphins 24
Las Vegas Raiders (+13) Over Kansas City Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes said the Chiefs are long overdue for a blowout win, but that just isn’t how the team is built anymore. They only beat the Panthers by three points last week, and it’s hard to see them running up the score against the Raiders. All 10 of Kansas City’s victories this year have been by 13 or fewer points. Las Vegas is one of the worst teams in the league, but a cover is still well within their reach at Arrowhead on Friday afternoon. Chiefs 27, Raiders 17
Arizona Cardinals (+3.5) Over Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings are different from the team they were to start the season, and the Cardinals are more than capable of getting the cover. This spread is sitting at a key number for a game Arizona could win outright. There won’t be many points to separate these two defensive teams, but the scrambling ability of Kyler Murray could be the difference maker. Cardinals 20, Vikings 17
Houston Texans (-5) Over Jacksonville Jaguars
The Texans are due for a big win, and they will get it against their divisional rivals on Sunday. They still have a two game lead on top of the AFC South, but their shaky run of form has dented their postseason aspirations. CJ Stroud is still one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and Houston will be desperate for a comfortable win with the Dolphins, Chiefs, and Ravens on the horizon. Texans 27, Jaguars 13
New England Patriots (+3) Over Indianapolis Colts
The Colts are probably the better team here, but they don’t deserve this kind of line on the road against the Patriots. New England has a strong defense to stifle an inconsistent Colts offensive unit. Anthony Richardson has shown flashes of life, but he is still far too inconsistent to be trusted as a road favorite. New England keeps this close and could even pull out a classic Foxborough victory after a big defensive stand. Patriots 17, Colts 16
Atlanta Falcons (+1.5) Over LA Chargers
The Falcons lead on top of the NFC South has quickly evaporated. The stakes are suddenly high for Kirk Cousins and the Falcons, and they will be fully prepared for the Chargers coming off their bye week. The Falcons have home field advantage and have an extra 8 days of rest. The upside for the Chargers is still higher for this season, but the advantages piling up in favor of the Falcons swing this game in the direction of Atlanta. Falcons 35, Chargers 30
Pittsburgh Steelers (+2.5) Over Cincinnati Bengals
I think I’ve heard this one before. The Bengals high flying offense will overcome a stingy Steelers defense as Cincinnati needs this late season win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Wrong. This line is beyond confusing, as the Steelers have shown time and time again they are better than Cincinnati. Russell Wilson has revitalized a flat Steelers offense, and their stingy defense continues to win them football games. It’s not time to start overthinking this one. Steelers 24, Bengals 21
Seattle Seahawks (-2.5) Over New York Jets
The Jets keep getting these favorable lines against playoff teams despite the fact they are one of the league’s bottom feeders. Seattle still has plenty to prove on the defensive side of the ball, but they will be confident after holding the Cardinals to just 6 points. They have a daunting schedule to end the season, making this a crucial game for their playoff aspirations. Seahawks 30, Jets 17
Washington Commanders (-5.5) Over Tennessee Titans
The Commanders have dropped three straight games but are still 7-5 on the season. This is a massive home game for not only their record, but the clubhouse morale heading into their bye week. Washington’s offense has been flat, but this feels like a real letdown spot for the Titans offensively. Jayden Daniels won’t be putting up the 40-7 score lines we got used to seeing from Washington, but they will still get the win and cover over the Titans at home. Commanders 24, Titans 10
Los Angeles Rams (-3) Over New Orleans Saints
Don’t let wins over the Falcons and Browns distract you from the dumpster fire in New Orleans. The Saints have lost their defensive identity and don’t have an offense to lean on in support. Meanwhile, the Rams are in the thick of a razor-tight NFC West divisional race and cannot afford to drop this game against the Saints. The Rams offense has a nice balance to it currently, and it will be enough to pick up a crucial victory. Rams 27, Saints 23
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-6) Over Carolina Panthers
Tampa Bay’s potent aerial attack will allow them to run up the score against the Panthers. The Buccaneers have reignited their playoff hopes and have a soft schedule down the stretch. Carolina has been playing better football in recent weeks, winning back-to-back games before losing to the Chiefs by a field goal. However, this is a nightmare matchup for the Panthers defensive line, and when Baker Mayfield has time, he usually picks up a precise pass. It’s a thick line, but the Buccaneers have shown they cover these kinds of spreads. Buccaneers 31, Panthers 20
Baltimore Ravens (-2.5) Over Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles have a strong offense with Barkley and Hurts, but it still doesn’t compare to the one-two punch of Henry and Jackson. The Ravens offense has been able to pick apart even the strongest NFL defenses this season, and it’s hard to see them losing this one at home. Philadelphia has rattled off seven straight wins, but only one of those came against a team with a winning record. This is the perfect time to ‘sell high’ on the Eagles, as the Ravens cannot be faded at home with a minimal spread. Ravens 28, Eagles 20
San Francisco 49ers (+7) Over Buffalo Bills
The 49ers have their backs against the wall after injuries derailed their Super Bowl aspirations. All hope is not lost, and they will fight tooth and nail against the Bills on Sunday night. Brock Purdy is expected to return for San Francisco, as this will quickly turn into a shootout in Buffalo. Josh Allen is more than capable of putting up points, and I expect Christian McCaffrey to remind the league he is still relevant on primetime. The Bills will probably pull out the win, but the 49ers will get the cover. Bills 30, 49ers 28
Denver Broncos (-5.5) Over Cleveland Browns
The preseason aspirations for the Broncos were muted, but respect is long overdue for the Broncos after their 7-5 start. Denver’s last five wins have come by double digits, so this spread shouldn’t deter you from laying the points. Cleveland had a wild snow victory over the Steelers last week, but with more normal conditions they will be unable to replicate their success. Broncos 24, Browns 14
2024 Season record: 90-85-3
