Week 13 of the NFL season is here. Thanksgiving games and a full slate of Sunday action. Where did time go? As you can see, the picks are close. This one is going to come down to the wire. Who's going to take it?
With the season officially underway, the Complex Sports team is rolling out a bunch of new NFL content. We rolled out our (controversial) QB rankings list, where we ranked every single starting NFL QB from worst to best. We'll have weekly fantasy content this year, as well as a ton of gambling content to help you win (probably lose) money all season. We'll have interviews, videos, dispatches from games, and much more all season long. Basically, we've got you covered all over the NFL season this year and we can't wait.
As part of our weekly NFL content this season, the Complex Sports team is doing weekly picks on every single game each week. These picks are straight up, but don't worry, Chopz and Adam will have a fresh gambling column with their best bets of the week every Friday. We'll be keeping track of the predictions from Chopz, Adam, Zion, and Angel all season long, with the ultimate bragging rights on the line. So check out our picks and be sure to jump on Twitter and yell at us for how bad you think they are.
2019 Standings:
Chopz: 106-69-1
Adam: 105-70-1
Zion: 105-70-1
Angel: 109-66-1
Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions
Chopz: Nothing like watching the Lions lose on Thanksgiving. A tradition like any other.
Adam: If you know anything about Jeff Driskel or whoever the hell is going to be Detroit's quarterback you’re either lying or a pathetically loyal Lions fan who will once again be embarrassed when your team gets trucked on Thanksgiving.
Angel: The Lions losing on Turkey Day is a national tradition. Da Bears.
Zion: Some dude named David Blough is starting for the Lions…. That should tell you enough. Bears win.
Buffalo Bills vs. Dallas Cowboys
Chopz: The Bills are frauds, IDC. Cowboys win this one.
Adam: Cowboys and it’ll be closer than the experts think.
Angel: This is going to be the best game on Thanksgiving. I’ll take the Cowboys, unfortunately.
Zion: Garrett will not make it to next week if the Cowboys lose so they’ll pull this one out.
New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons
Chopz: Somehow fell into the Falcons trap last week. Give me the Saints on the road.
Adam: Give me New Orleans because it feels like Atlanta is due to start a new losing streak.
Angel: Saints on the road in a blowout.
Zion: Nah, this time I’m really never picking the Falcons again. I don’t care. Saints.
New York Jets vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Chopz: Jets continue their hot streak in Cincy.
Adam: I would prefer the Jets lose these games for draft purposes, but they’re playing better than I ever expected despite injuries and talent deficiencies. Bengals do not get their first win against Gang Green.
Angel: The Jets make it four in a fucking row. Still fire Adam “Coke Eyes” Gase, though.
Zion: Wow, the Jets are really on a little streak here beating up on bottom feeders. Jets.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Miami Dolphins
Chopz: The Eagles are not a great team but the Dolphins really stink, so Philly takes this one.
Adam: Philly fans would set the Linc on fire if they lost to Miami. For a change, Eagles look competent in the win.
Angel: Philly in a route.
Zion: There are some bad matchups this week. Philly by 76.
Tennessee Titans vs. Indianapolis Colts
Chopz: Pretty huge game for the AFC playoff race. I’ll go with the Titans on the road.
Adam: What Ryan Tannehill is doing is not sustainable. Colts at home.
Angel: That spread is telling me to take the Titans, but I think the Colts get it done in a must-win game.
Zion: Titans.
Washington Redskins vs. Carolina Panthers
Chopz: Panthers roll.
Adam: People are making way too big of a deal about Dwayne Haskins missing the final snap to take a selfie with a fan. That take aside, Panthers.
Angel: Panthers win and they cover.
Zion: CMC runs for 256 yards and 5 TDs. Panthers roll.
Green Bay Packers vs. New York Giants
Chopz: Give me the Packers on the road in a bounce back game.
Adam: The Giants defense is deplorable. Packers should have to walk home if they don’t put up at least 35.
Angel: Packers are going destroy the Giants on the road.
Zion: CALL THE POLICE. WHAT AARON RODGERS IS ABOUT TO DO TO THE GIANTS SECONDARY WILL NOT BE LEGAL.
Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Chopz: You guys already know who I’m taking here. The Browns not only win, but they get back to .500 and increase their chances of making the playoffs. Don’t say I didn’t tell y’all this was going to happen. I just wish Mason Rudolph was playing. He was maybe the Browns best player last time they played.
Adam: Give me the Steelers because I want chaos.
Angel: Cleveland is going to be fired up and will use that to beat the breaks off MAGA Rudolph Hodges and the Steelers.
Zion: MAGA Hodges is starting.... But I’m not picking the Browns to be .500 so Steelers pull this out.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Chopz: Give me the Bucs on the road.
Adam: Bucs take this one.
Angel: Tampa makes it two in a row.
Zion: Famous Jameis eats another W.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Baltimore Ravens
Chopz: Man, what a game this will be. I think the Ravens roll at home.
Adam: 49ers in a major swerve. Lamar has been incredible. But can he really keep this up?
Angel: My heart is telling to go with the Niners but my head is saying that they won’t continue to go undefeated on the road. B-More continues their hot streak to make it nine in a row.
Zion: Ravens at home, they’re clicking on all cylinders. Possible Super Bowl preview.
Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals
Chopz: Cardinals take this one because the Rams are frauds.
Adam: The Rams because they have too many dynamic players to lose to the Cardinals. But wouldn’t be surprised at all with an upset.
Angel: The Rams on the road.
Zion: Cardinals win at home here.
Oakland Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Chopz: Chiefs roll and do some serious damage to the Raiders playoff hopes.
Adam: Don’t have the cojones to take the Raiders here, but Pat Mahomes ain’t going to destroy Oakland like he did earlier in the season.
Angel: The Chiefs win in a close one.
Zion: Chiefs.
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Denver Broncos
Chopz: Chargers, I guess.
Adam: Broncos because I’m expecting more back breaking interceptions from Philip Rivers.
Angel: I think the Chargers are the better team? Fuck it.
Zion: Chargers.
New England Patriots vs. Houston Texans
Chopz: Another great game. I’ll take the Texans in a mild upset.
Adam: Can’t tell you how hard I’m rooting for the Texans. But I think it’s ultimately going to be a Patriots win since Bill Belichick generally does pretty well against his former assistants.
Angel: New England’s two-game losing streak starts this week.
Zion: Taking the Pats on the road because of what the Ravens defense did to Deshaun recently.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Seattle Seahawks
Chopz: Russell Wilson shows out and keeps the MVP race with Lamar Jackson a bit closer.
Adam: Minnesota? Nah, Seattle.
Angel: Seahawks as Russell tries to catch Lamar in the MVP race.
Zion: Seahawks at home.
