NFL 2007 Season Week 13 Picks

Packers 27 @ Cowboys 37

Matt: I don't really care.

Jeremy: It's kind of surprising to me how little play this game is getting. You would think a game like this would have been the talk of the last few weeks. In all seriousness I see the cable companies' point that they should be able to offer the NFL Network only to people who want it. However, at the same time they need to stop talking like the only two choices are a) if someone wants the NFL network they can buy the $10 a month sports package or b) everyone gets it and everyone's bill goes up $10. They could just add it, I'm sure their profit margin is ridiculous to begin with.

Sarah: It all comes down to this. Don't you hate over analyzing useless trivia? Favre is 0-something at Dallas, therefore he can't win on Thursday. But, he's gotten such a better record at domes since 2002. Something's gotta give. Or maybe it's just any given Sunday (Thursday) and it's just that team's day. I'm glad I get to see the game, that's favre sure.

Jon: Instead of giving my take on how they matchup, I'll talk about the whole NFL network thing. Does it suck? yeah. Boo hoo. You know who has to watch their favorite team's games (yes, multiples games) in sports bars? Me. And Matt. And often Jeremy. Vikings and Twins games. You know who else? Countless other people who can't get their chosen games on their local tv. Again, yeah it sucks, but it's not like the game is completely inaccessible. Suck it up and spend a few hours somewhere outside of your house.

Lions 10 @ Vikings 42

Matt: Playing A-Pete this soon after his injury seems stupid to me.

Jeremy: Adrian should be back for this one. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm not a doctor, and they say he'll be fine, but I worry something worse might happen.

Sarah: One team is going up up up and one team is falling fast. Both are going nowhere fast, dontcha think? In the end only one team wins the Super Bowl, so at some point do you just start working towards a better draft pick? NEVER!

Jon: I think this will be a fun game. Like last time they played. It was entertaining. I watched it in a bar. Because I couldn't get it at home. We actually couldn't even watch it in either of our top two choices of sports bars.

Bengals 10 @ Steelers 24

Matt: Hines Ward for MVP!!!! Steelers 42 - Bengals 26.

Jeremy: Think we might see 6 points in this one?

Sarah: What a rough game Monday night. The Bengals have a high power offense, but the Steeler's D is tough. I think Big Ben will make a comeback and get a win.

Jon: I think this is a tough week for picks. I mean, not this game necessarily, but I wouldn't be surpried if Cincinnati did win. But I think other games could be surprising.

Patriots 27 @ Ravens 24

Matt: Belichick sucks.

Jeremy: Everyone else is all excited because the "blueprint" on how to beat the Pats is out there. The way I see it all the Eagles game did is solidify everything they've been talking about. "Humble pie" stops meaning anything if you win every game by 50. Anyone who thought they ran up the score before be warned, almost losing will ratchet up their "go for the jugular early" attitude 10 fold.

Sarah: Let's see if the blueprint can become a structure.

Jon: I feel a bit let down by the Eagles. Just a bit. But I'm also happy that they broke up the monotony for a bit.
