NFL Week 13 picks: Can Cowboys stay hot against playoff hopeful?

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

Post-Thanksgiving is a light week on the NFL’s 2023 schedule, just 13 games slotted on the Week 13 lineup.

And, to be sure, there are some nice matchups – including the Seattle Seahawks visiting the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night, and the Houston Texans hosting the scalding Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon in a contest that suddenly carries very significant playoff ramifications for a pair of 6-5 teams sitting just outside the AFC’s final wild-card slot.

But make no mistake, the game of the weekend – maybe the entire year – will be the rematch of the 2022 NFC championship game as the San Francisco 49ers and reigning conference champion Eagles strap it up again at Philadelphia in the late Sunday afternoon window. Not only is it arguably a showdown of the league’s top two teams, but there’s also plenty of bad blood surrounding this one.

Can’t wait. Now, on to the forecast from our esteemed panel of experts:
