Games to Watch (Predicted winners in Bold)

Thursday, Nov. 29, 2012, 8:20pm – New Orleans Saints @ Atlanta Falcons

Always an enticing rivalry matchup, the Saints are on the upswing why the Falcons have seemed to ride the ‘Good Luck Express’ all season. I’m not counting out the Falcons at home, especially during the regular season where they are always contenders.

Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012, 1:00pm – Indianapolis Colts @ Detroit Lions

The Lions haven’t beaten the Colts since Barry Sanders was their running back and Marshall Faulk was Indy’s. But they’re at home where they played AFC South leading Houston on Thanksgiving and should have won.

Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012, 4:25pm – Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens

Another fun rivalry game may be a little less fun without Ben Roethlisberger if their last matchup is any indication. The Ravens are by far the better team without Big Ben around, but they didn’t act like it last time.

Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012, 8:20pm – Philadelphia Eagles @ Dallas Cowboys

The Eagles have a few good things going for them, but they don’t have an experienced quarterback or good wide receivers or a good defense. Maybe they don’t really have anything going for them…well, I guess there is Bryce Brown, but he fumbles.

Monday, Dec. 3, 2012, 8:30pm – New York Giants @ Washington Redskins

The Giants and Redskins played a close contest a few weeks ago in East Rutherford. Now they meet in Landover (funny that neither team plays in the city it plays for). The Redskins slid through a few games after losing a heartbreaker last time, so they can’t really afford to lose this one. But the Giants came out of their bye week firing. Should be a good one.

Stay tuned for recaps of this week’s games. Thanks for reading and enjoy the thirteenth week of the season!
