Observations and Predictions... Week 13

Last week I went 11-5. The Giants and Pats let me down with a few stinkers. The Steelers lost a gutty close one with a third stringer starting (and playing well... until overtime) against the Ravens.

Performers of the Week
QB-Drew Brees: Went insane against the Pats weak secondary, 371 yards and 5 TDs.
WR-Miles Austin: 145 yards and a TD on a national stage... I wonder if I can turn my 19 Keyshawn jersey into a Austin?
RB-Justin Forsett: Shredded the Rams for 130 and 2 scores.
TE-Antonio Gates: 118 yards and 2 scores as the Chargers took it to the Chiefs.
Defense-Jets: 6 points allowed with 3 sacks, 4 picks and a TD.
Special Teams-Eagles: Strong Akers kicks and great returns by Jackson set up the Eagles all day.

On to Week 13. Cowboys have a tough matchup on the road against the Giants. Jerry Jones didn't help by putting Wade on notice. With all the distractions I think the Cowboys pull one out. Too many injuries on the Giants. I have the Jets over the Bills in Canada. Eagles in a tight one over the Falcons. The Bears beating the Rams. Bengals big over Detroit. Titans in an upset over the Colts. Broncos over Chiefs. Pats big over Dolphins. Steelers over the Raiders. Saints big over the Redskins. Panthers over Bucs. Texans over Jags. Chargers blow out the Browns. Niners over Seahawks. Vikings beat the Cards. PAckers over the Ravens.

Fantasy Picks of the Week
QB-Carson Palmer: Should have a big day against the Lions
WR-Jeremy Maclin: With DeSean Jackson hurting, he could see an increased role in the offense.
RB-Chris Johnson: Look out for the surging Titans. Especially Johnson who should match up nicely both out of the backfield and in the receiving game.
TE-Brent Celek: Coming off his signing an extension, he should have a big week versus ATL.
Defense-Steelers: Nice rebound game against the Raiders.
Special Teams-Bengals: With Scott back on kick duty, he and Graham should do work against the Lions.
