NFL 2021 Week 13 Thread
Thursday Night Football
Dallas Cowboys at New Orleans Saints, 6:20 p.m., Fox, NFL Network, AmazonBoth of these teams will have had a week to stew over their losses on Thanksgiving Day, although the Cowboys were much closer to winning than the Saints.
Sunday early games
New York Giants at Miami Dolphins, 11 a.m., FoxThe Dolphins have suddenly won four straight games after dropping seven in a row after their Week 1 win.
Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans, 11 a.m., CBS
Both of these teams missed huge opportunities in Week 12 losses, but Week 13 provides a chance to put those losses in the rear-view mirror.
Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions, 11 a.m., CBS
The Lions are still searching for their first win. The Vikings are searching for a playoff spot.
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Jets, 11 a.m., CBS
The Eagles are an enigma. You just never know which team is going to show up each week.
Arizona Cardinals at Chicago Bears, 11 a.m., Fox
The Cardinals are coming off their bye and could have Kyler Murray back for this game in Chicago.
Los Angeles Chargers at Cincinnati Bengals, 11 a.m., CBS
The Bengals looked very impressive in their win over the Steelers. The Chargers did not impress against the Broncos.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons, 11 a.m., Fox
The Buccaneers rode Leonard Fournette to a big win over the Colts. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Sunday late games
Jacksonville Jaguars at Los Angeles Rams, 2:05 p.m., FoxThe Rams have lost three games in a row and have huge questions surrounding the team and quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Washington Football Team at Las Vegas Raiders, 2:05 p.m., Fox
The Raiders needed their win over the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. They could use another against the Washington Football Team.
Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers, 2:25 p.m., CBS
The Ravens did not impress against the Browns, but a win is a win. The Steelers wished they could have beat the Bengals.
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks, 2:25 p.m., CBS
The 49ers are suddenly red hot and could be the team that no one wants to face in the NFC postseason, should they earn a berth.
Sunday Night Football
Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs, 6:20 p.m., NBCThis game has serious AFC West playoff implications and was flexed in this spot over the 49ers vs. Seahawks game. That was a good call, NFL.
Monday Night Football
New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills, 6:15 p.m., ESPNThe winner of this game could end up winning the AFC East. This is a huge game and a great way to end Week 13 of the NFL season.
The Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers and Tennessee Titans are on byes in Week 13.

Cowboys get Cooper and Lamb back, and also the returrn of Demarcus Lawrence. Along with Kamara, the Saints will also be without their two starting tackles. Good luck Taysom Hill.
And Micah Parsons wins November Defensive Rookie of the Month: 25 tackles, eight tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.

Everyone is on Dallas tonight. Line moved from -4.5 (I took that on Tuesday) to -6.5 and then Fanduel is offering a superboost on DAL -2.5 at even money. That always scares me.

TB's Antonio Brown and Mike Edwards suspended 3 games w/o pay.
I guess Antonio's personal chef was right. Don't stiff him, Antonio.

Yeah, thanks again for that.
Just an update, Alijah Vera Tucker has played every snap for the Jets this season and quietly has become one of the top guards in the NFL already. I'll let you know what happens with the other picks a year from now.

Bucs look terrible in this too. Sounds like they literally zero work to ensure players were legitimately vaccinated. Not sure how anyone would want AB on a team at this point.

They do look terrible in all of this. That said, what are they supposed to do other than check vaccination cards? Are they supposed to take those cards and then follow up with the provider listed on the card to make sure the card is legitimate? If he had a (seemingly) legit vaccine card and they checked to make sure he had one, that seems like all that they reasonably should be expected to do. But when the story broke, that is what they should have said: "we looked at every players cards and nothing looked fishy", rather than act like this couldn't have happened because they vetted all the cards.

It is Antonio Brown. I would probably do extra work to ensure he is following the rules, given his history.

I know he didn't falsify a vaccination card but I'm not going to hold my breath for Rodgers to get retroactively punished for violating protocols earlier.

Enjoy the picks! Seahawks took a big swing and missed. It happens, and now they start a long rebuild.

Although it may not have win-loss implications that blind side block call against the Saints might be one of the worst calls I've ever seen. The ref that threw the flag on that should be discharged from his duties of ever officiating again.

Moving back to Brown ... there are some guys that no matter that they have handlers, no matter that they have a team, no matter that they have an agent ... just can't get out of their own way in screwing things up.
Let's face it, if this guy didn't have amazing talent, he wouldn't even be able to keep a job at Popeyes.

Chargers @ Bengals should be the SNF game
Who wants to see the Chiefs win by 20 points over Bridgewater.
