Gridiron Experts Week 13 picks

Gridiron Experts Week 13 picks

Tampa Bay at Carolina-6

These two NFC South teams were once respected powerhouses that had either a blitzing attack or a tricky cover 2 defense that created weekly turnovers. This year both teams are bottom of the barrel in the turnover ratio (CAR-9, TB-4), and are night and day from last year’s versions of themselves.

The only bright light this week for Panther fans is that Jake Delhomme isn’t starting. Delhomme got the nod for the Panthers every game this season and must have corroborating evidence on head coach John Fox, as he has been terrible to say the least.

With both teams banged up or having to start key positions with rookies, we’re going to take the Panthers on the fact that Delhomme isn’t playing. As long as Matt Moore doesn’t start a small fire, the house is his to keep. CAR 24-13

Dallas-2 at NY Giants

One of the biggest games of the week! The Cowboys and Giants always break out their “A” games no matter what the standings look like. This match-up just so happens to be monumental for the G-Men as a loss here would put the hurt on their chances for making the post season.

Both teams are somewhat evenly matched, both have their weak spots while at the same time have weapons that can score at will. The Giants have taken the “must win” approach into their last three games and come away with only one victory, can you say desperate football? We like the home team that’s betting the season. NYG 28-26
