The Seattle Seahawks (6-5) will face the New York Jets (3-8) on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This Week 13 matchup presents contrasting narratives, with the Seahawks aiming to extend their winning streak and solidify their playoff position, while the Jets seek to rebound from a challenging season. Seattle leads the NFC West with a 6-5 record, recently securing back-to-back divisional victories against the San Francisco 49ers (20-17) and the Arizona Cardinals (16-6). These wins have bolstered team confidence and improved their playoff prospects. The Jets have struggled this season, holding a 3-8 record and ranking third in the AFC East. The team has faced significant challenges, including injuries to key players and mid-season coaching changes. Notably, running back Breece Hall is expected to play despite recent knee soreness, providing a potential boost to the offense. Seattle WR DK Metcalf has been a pivotal component of Seattle's offense, contributing significantly in recent victories. The Jets are led by RB Breece Hall Leading the team in rushing yards and touchdowns, Hall's return is vital for the Jets' offensive dynamics. The Seahawks enter the game with momentum from consecutive wins and aim to capitalize on the Jets' vulnerabilities. Seattle's defense has been effective in recent games, and maintaining this performance will be key against a Jets offense that has faced challenges. I will take the Seahawks here on Sunday.

The Cincinnati Bengals (4-7) will host the Pittsburgh Steelers (8-3) on Sunday, December 1 at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. This AFC North matchup is pivotal for both teams, with the Bengals striving to keep their slim playoff hopes alive and the Steelers aiming to maintain their division lead. The Bengals have endured a challenging season, currently holding a 4-7 record and sitting third in the AFC North. Their offense ranks sixth in the league, averaging 27.0 points per game, but defensive struggles have been evident, allowing 26.9 points per game, placing them 28th in the NFL. Notably, Cincinnati has suffered narrow defeats, including a 34-35 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on November 7. The Steelers lead the AFC North with an 8-3 record. Their defense has been formidable, conceding only 16.9 points per game, ranking fourth in the league. Offensively, Pittsburgh averages 22.9 points per game, placing them 14th. Recent victories include a 24-19 win over the Cleveland Browns on November 20. Bengals QB Burrow's leadership and performance are crucial for the Bengals' offensive success. Ja'Marr Chase (WR) is Burrows primary target. The Bengals face a must-win scenario to preserve their playoff aspirations. Their high-scoring offense will be tested against the Steelers' resilient defense. I look for a maximum performance at home on Sunday from the Bengals. Take Cincinnati.

The Tennessee Titans (3-8) will face the Washington Commanders (7-5) on Sunday at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. This Week 13 matchup features two teams with contrasting trajectories, as the Titans aim to build on recent success, while the Commanders seek to halt a three-game losing streak. The Titans are coming off a significant 32-27 road victory against the Houston Texans, marking their third win of the season. Under head coach Brian Callahan, the team has shown resilience despite a challenging season. Quarterback Will Levis has gained increased support from fans, with 48% believing he should remain the starter moving forward. The Commanders have encountered difficulties recently, enduring a three-game losing streak, including a 26-34 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Despite these setbacks, they maintain a 7-5 record, positioning them second in the NFC East. Fan confidence has waned, dropping to 57%, reflecting concerns over the team's current form. Titans' QB Will Levis has shown promise, leading the Titans to a recent victory and earning increased confidence. Washington QB Jayden Daniels has been a key contributor, but the offense has struggled with consistency during the losing streak. Both teams have been in some recent high scoring games and I look for the offenses to be on target again this Sunday. I'm taking the OVER here between these teams.

The Los Angeles Chargers (7-4) will face the Atlanta Falcons (6-5) on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. This Week 13 matchup features two teams vying for playoff positioning, with the Chargers aiming to rebound from a recent loss and the Falcons seeking to capitalize on home-field advantage. The Chargers' four-game winning streak was halted by a 30-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week. The defense has been a strong point, allowing an average of 15.9 points per game, ranking first in the league. However, the offense has faced challenges, averaging 322.6 yards per game, placing them 21st. The Falcons are coming off a bye week following a 38-6 loss to the Denver Broncos. Their offense ranks 8th in total yards per game (361.5), with a strong passing attack led by quarterback Kirk Cousins, who has amassed 2,807 passing yards and 17 touchdowns. The defense, however, has struggled, allowing 24.9 points per game, ranking 25th in the league. Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins is expected to miss the game due to a knee injury. Safety Alohi Gilman, cornerback Cam Hart, and linebacker Denzel Perryman are also ruled out. Linebacker Daiyan Henley is questionable with a calf injury. The Atlanta Falcons cornerback Mike Hughes is ruled out despite practicing fully. Kicker Younghoe Koo is questionable with a right hip issue, leading to the signing of kicker Riley Patterson as a precaution. Given the Chargers' defensive strength and the Falcons' recent struggles I'm taking the Chargers in what basically is a pick'em game. Play LA Chargers.

The Arizona Cardinals (6-5) will face the Minnesota Vikings (9-2) on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This Week 13 matchup is crucial for both teams, as the Cardinals aim to rebound from a recent loss and strengthen their playoff position, while the Vikings seek to extend their winning streak and solidify their standing atop the NFC North. The Cardinals had a four-game winning streak snapped with a 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks last week. Their offense has been inconsistent, averaging 23.8 points per game, ranking 16th in the league. Defensively, they have allowed 22 points per game, placing them 11th. The team is currently half a game behind Washington for the final NFC wild-card spot. The Vikings are on a four-game winning streak, including a 30-27 overtime victory against the Chicago Bears in week 12. Their offense averages 24.4 points per game, ranking 9th, while their defense allows 17 points per game, placing them 4th in the league. Minnesota has not played a home game since their November 3 win over the Indianapolis Colts. This will be the dynamic Cardinals offense against the stout Vikings defense. If the Cardinals offense can rebound from that loss to the Seahawks last week, they can win this game straight up as a 3.5 point dog. I'm taking the Arizona Cardinals plus the points.
