Joe's Week 13 Locks

This is what happens when the Browns take a week off (insert Browns joke). I don't think about how I'm going to justify picking them to cover the spread and then it's 12:15 eastern and I still haven't made picks. So here we go...

Houston @ (-6.5) Green Bay. My Pick, Green Bay 30-16. Rodgers is back to being good and Osweiler wouldn't start for the Browns.
Los Angelos Rams (+13.5) @ New England. My Pick, New England 27-17. If this had been 9.5-10 points, I'm taking the Pats but 13.5 is too much especially after the crushing Gronk news.
Washington (+2.5) @ Arizona. My Pick, Washington 24-20. My Super Bowl pick of Arizona has not gone well. What has been rolling is the Redskins offense and even without Jordan Reed they go to the desert and pick up a win to stay in playoff contention.
Tampa Bay (+3.5) @ San Diego. My Pick, San Diego 28-27. This is my way of saying I don't know who will win but I think it will be by a last minute field goal.
New York Giants @ (-6.5) Pittsburgh. My Pick, Pittsburgh 34-27. The Steelers need every game at this point. The Giants are 8-3 and haven't won a tough road game all season since week 1 against a rookie QB and RB combo that hasn't lost since.

Week 12 Review

Washington @ (-7) Dallas. My Pick, Dallas 27-26. What Happened, Dallas 31-26. Pretty good prediction here. Washington had their chances to win this one outright.
Pittsburgh @ (+8) Indianapolis. My Pick, Pittsburgh 34-17. What Happened, Pittsburgh 28-7. Scott Tolzien for the Colts actually looked ok and if his WRs could catch this may have become a game. Alas, they can't and it didn't.
New York Giants @ (+7) Cleveland. My Pick, New York Giants 27-23. What Happened, New York Giants 27-13. Just like every damn week it seems, somehow the Browns had the ball in the fourth quarter with a chance to tie the game. Then the offensive line remembered they suck. Strip sack, deflection, pick-6 for six fingered Pierre-Paul. A cover the Giants didn't deserve. The Browns were respectable in this one unlike what the Cleveland media will tell you.
Tennessee @ (+4.5) Chicago. My Pick, Tennessee 31-13. What Happened, Tennessee 27-21. I'll be honest, I didn't see or read about a snap in this game. Apparently the Bears tried hard and Matt Barkley looked like a Browns target in the offseason.
New England @ (+8) New York Jets. My Pick, New England 38-20. What Happened, New England 22-17. So I amazingly predicted the Jets to go up 10-0 but unfortunately the Pats offense was not as dominant as I thought they would be. The Patriots had a chance to punch in for the cover in the last minute but left people like me with the loss when they decided on taking a knee.

Week 12 - 3-2
Overall - 28-31-2
