Here are our Week 13 picks with a few 55 Percenters sprinkled in. Jake rolled last week moving our year record 7-5 in favor of Jake.

Philadelphia -3 over SEATTLE

Jake Sea +3 / Brandon Sea +3

This game is already over and both Jake and I picked it correctly. The Eagles have quit and we weren’t falling for it.

BUFFALO -1 over Tennessee

Jake Buf -1 / Brandon Ten +1

The Bills have cashed it in, they are no longer good. Factor in the CJ2K is finally starting to look good against a shitty Bills rushing defense and I’m willing to make this a difference. I won’t make this a 55 percenter unless you can guarantee me that it comes down to Stevie “No Hands” Johnson in the clutch.

CHICAGO -7 over Kansas City

Jake Chi -7 / Brandon Chi -7

Tyler Palko. Kyle Orton. The Bears D. Umm, yes please.

55 Percenter: Chicago -7

MIAMI -2.5 over Oakland

Jake Oak +2.5 / Brandon Oak +2.5

I wouldn’t have bet this at +2.5 but the line has strangely since moved to Oak +3.5. I like it more at this price and think that they are the better team. Yes, Miami has played well, but they shouldn’t be giving over a field goal (saying they are the favorite on a neutral field!?!?) against a playoff team. Al Davis’ and the 55er please.

55 Percenter: Oakland +3.5

MINNESOTA -1 over Denver

Jake Min -1 / Brandon Den +1

Another line that has sinced moved, now sitting at Denver -1. Tim Tebow, who makes Jake a modern day Paul Lynde (ADPTP classic reference!), will seek to put on his Superman pajamas again during this one. Somehow, Jake picked against his boy, but I’m not so silly. Timmy T will find a way to get this done when it counts. No AP helps…so let’s make it a 55er.

55 Percenter: Denver -1

NEW ENGLAND -20 over Indianapolis

Jake NE -20 / Brandon NE -20

Jesus, seriously!?!? 20 points? But still, Belichick is an ass and won’t turn it off, especially against a team that has been a rival. Pats big, Jake and I agree.

PITTSBURGH -6.5 over Cincinnati

Jake Pit -6.5 / Brandon Cin +6.5

After watching the Steelers play the Chiefs last week, I’ve changed camps. While Jake is still willing to pick the Steelers, unless it is Big Ben versus a helpless coed, I no longer believe. They looked awful and I’m becoming a believer in the Red Rifle. I’ll take the points and make it a 55er.

55 Percenter: Cincinnati +6.5

TAMPA BAY -3 over Carolina

Jake Car +3 / Brandon TB -3

Josh Freeman is questionable and frankly, I just don’t care. I’ll take the home team and pick LeGarrette Blount to have a big day against the terrible Panther D.

New York Jets -2.5 over WASHINGTON

Jake NYJ -2.5 / Brandon NYJ -2.5

Somehow, this line has dropped to -2, even if that line is insignificant, it tells me that faith has completely left the Jets. I agree that the Jets aren’t elite, but the Redskins are still terrible and Mike Shanahan has no clue what he’s doing. I think the Jets D steps up, as they usually do when the doubt creeps in. I’m a degenerate, so let’s bet it too.

55 Percenter: New York Jets -2

Atlanta -2.5 over HOUSTON

Jake Atl -2.5 / Brandon Atl -2.5

Another line changer, and in a direction that makes no sense. It’s somehow down to Atl -1. Everyone realizes that Houston is on their third QB right? And Gary Kubiak is their coach? Anyone? Please? OK fuck it…55 Percenter.

55 Percenter: Atlanta -1

Baltimore -6.5 over CLEVELAND

Jake Bal -6.5 / Brandon Bal -6.5

I don’t even know what to say. Baltimore can be very good, but they are also wildly inconsistent. It’s up to -7, so I’m definitely not betting it, but we both like the Ravens.

Dallas -4 over ARIZONA

Jake Dal -4 / Brandon Dal -4

Another mover and shaker, much like Paul Lynde back in the Bewitched days. I won’t bet it, simply because Arizona has been a house of horrors for the ‘Boys over the years. Still, I’m laying the points…because Cardinals suck.

Green Bay -6.5 over NEW YORK GIANTS

Jake GB -6.5 / Brandon GB -6.5

 Please. I picked it before the season and I’m not backing off. The Giants suck. The Packers are elite. Sure, this is do or die for the Giants, but that’s like saying it’s do or die for an AIDS patient. In the end, things won’t end well.

55 Percenter: GB -6.5

 SAN FRANCISCO -13 over St. Louis

Jake SF -13 / Brandon StL +13

I refuse put belief in the Niners and especially Alex Smith laying almost two touchdowns. I won’t bet it, but that’s too many points. Give me the plus.

NEW ORLEANS -8.5 over Detroit

Jake NO -8.5 / Brandon Det +8.5

Really big line in my opinion. I think this game is high scoring and I think that Detroit loses by a TD, even if that means a late garbage TD. Another difference, but no 55er.

San Diego -3 over JACKSONVILLE

Jake SD -3 / Brandon Jax +3

 Credit to the Sports Guy on this write up. A crappy team that got their coach fired versus a crappy team that wants to get their coach fired. Want to is a strong thing. Give me the Jags.
