NFL Week 13 Player Rankings & Picks

With 3 Thanksgiving games this sets up to be a crazy and fun week as this is the last week of the fantasy season is also coming to a close and hopefully you still have a shot at the playoffs or even better a shot at a first round playoff bye.  With myself still slumping in my picks (15-16 overall this year) I’m going for the trifecta tomorrow as I figure its as good a way as any to try and break out of my slump and get some momentum for the playoffs.

As crazy as it may sound I like The Lions (+11) tomorrow in the early game as I think they play the hardest they have all year to avoid being embarrassed in front of the nation.  Its hard for me to predict the upset win but the Titans D hasn’t been as great as it was early in the year and their offense is flawed.  Cullepepper & Calvin Johnson seem to be liking their new connection and seem to be a nice duo if you are the fantasy owner of Johnson.

With the Cowboys I’m taking the chalk (-12.5) as I don’t think anyone will be able to stop TO and Romo as they try to duplicate last week’s performance.  Its a lot of points but the Seahawks haven’t been the most impressive this year and the Cowboys now need every win and point the rest of this year to ensure a wildcard slot into the playoffs.

I also like the Eagles (-3) for the tripleheader as its impossible for McNabb to screw up as bad as last week and I like the Eagles D to pressure Warner and slow down the Cards potent passing attack.  Westbrook is listed as questionable which means if I bench him he’ll run like he just took a hit of crack at the stadium parking lot and score 4 TD’s.  While I’m starting Westbrook I still like the Eagle’s chances in a high scoring, high flying, exciting game.
