Mark Jones' NFL Week 13 Picks
Last week I was 10-5 (I picked Pittsburgh in the Thursday Night game, but didn't write the article in time), which puts me at 84-46-1 for the year. I've also been on a hot streak for the last five weeks; I'm 51-20-1 during that time. Hopefully, I can continue to correctly predict games this week as well!
Also, as an extra note, everyone, be sure to check out the latest addition to Mark Jones's weekly NFL picks: the Best Bets section, located at the end of the article!

NFL Week 13 Picks (Sunday/Monday)
San Francisco (3-8) @ Buffalo (6-5)
San Francisco, after their rout of St. Louis the week before last, came out and really disappointed me in Dallas. I thought maybe they'd win a few and get back to a mediocre record, but they were very outplayed, both on offense and defense. But then there is Buffalo, who has lost four of their last five, and they gave up 34 points to Kansas City last week in their 51-34 victory. However, I doubt the 49ers' defense can hold down the Bills' offense too much in this game.
Pick.........San Francisco 20, Buffalo 38
Baltimore (7-4) @ Cincinnati (1-9-1)
Baltimore is red-hot after the Eagles game, and that win looks even more impressive now that Philadelphia upset Arizona on Thanksgiving night. Cincinnati is (no, this is not a typo) playing fairly well right now, but that blowout vs. Pittsburgh might have taken most of the momentum out of their play. Anyway, with rookie-QB star Joe Flacco guiding the Ravens' offense, and that rock-solid defense backing him up, look for Baltimore to have a fairly decisive victory.
Pick..............Baltimore 24, Cincinnati 7
New Orleans (6-5) @ Tampa Bay (8-3)
The Saints' Monday Night Football win over the Packers was really impressive to me. First of all, 51 points on the Green Bay defense is amazing, and especially after they had just a small 24-21 lead at the half. New Orleans' offense is on fire currently! Plus, Tampa Bay has been in a slight slump during this break in their schedule. In my Upset of the Week, the Saints win a thriller!
Pick...........New Orleans 34, Tampa Bay 31.........Upset of the Week
New York Giants (10-1) @ Washington (7-4)
The Giants haven't lost in quite a while, and they've just been cruising along, winning game after game after game. Washington is playing comparable to Detroit; sloppy, no offense at all, and laziness after an opponent's turnover. They barely sneaked by Seattle, and I thought they were outplayed, too. The Redskins don't stand a chance in this game; it'll be a blowout and the crowd will be booing by halftime.
Pick...........New York Giants 30, Washington 10
