Another great week is now behind us and I am back with plays for this Sunday, so without further ado, here are my plays for for Week 13 of the 2015-16 NFL season… EARLY GAMES Buccaneers PK (-120) > Falcons 1.8u to win 1.5u Tampa Bay beat Atlanta on the road in Week 7 by a field goal and they get the opportunity to go 2-0 against them this season when they host them at home this Sunday. I think they have a good chance of doing just that, especially considering the fact that the Falcons generally/statistically play better at home than they do on the road. Coming off a loss a week ago, I think the Buccs get back into the win column by handing the Falcons their fifth straight defeat; a losing streak they started them off on five weeks ago. I predict Tampa Bay rises to a .500 record of 6-6 with a victory on Sunday, dropping Atlanta to a .500 record of 6-6 for the season. Jets (-128) > Giants 1.28u to win 1u This is New York vs New York. I’m going with the team that looked great last week against the team that looked pretty bad. The Giants received some key players back on defense and offense but that did not help them against their divisional rival Redskins. This is a very important game for both teams, who want to keep their playoff hopes alive, and I think the Jets are in better position to come out on top. At the current odds, I like them for a play. I predict the Jets rise to 7-5 for the season with a victory on Sunday, while the Giants drop to 5-7 and watch their post-season slip away. Day Games Chargers +5 (-140) *buy 1.5pts > Broncos 7u to win 5u Chargers (+165) 3u to win 4.95u San Diego cashed big for us last week by upsetting the Jaguars on the road and here I find them in position to pull off another upset, this one at home. They’re certainly facing a tougher challenge in the Broncos but I believe they have the tools to get it done. It’s going to come down to Philip Rivers and his arm, as I see him having another big game on Sunday, delivering multiple touchdowns. Denver is also coming off a big win, handing the New England Patriots the first loss of the season. That was a huge game for them, and following that big win, I see them laying a stinker in San Diego. I could see the Chargers running away with this one. Raiders +4 *buy 1.5pts (-155) > Chiefs 2.4u to win 1.55u In short, I think think the Raiders are going to have another solid game and this will likely be a close one that gets decided by a field goal. Saints +7.5 (-135) > Panthers 1.35u to win 1u Saints (+255) .55u to win 1.4u The Saints are 4-7 this season and on a current three game losing streak. This is a truly awful season for them. That said, coming off two road games, I think they have a decent chance at picking up a win at home here and upsetting the undefeated Panthers. They already played a close game in the second week of the season, where the Panthers edged out a 27-22 victory. I see this as being another close game, and at home, I think New Orleans had a shot at winning straight out. They defeated the Falcons who were undefeated at 5-0 heading into their Week 6 match-up, and I think they have a chance at defeating another undefeated team in the Panthers here. I am not as confident as I was with them against the Falcons, but I think this a good spot for them to get a win.
