NFL Week 13 expert picks against the spread – Del’s picks

Week 12 was a week to forget for Del, so Del is simply going to forget it. A record of 7-8 against the spread isn’t going to cut it down the stretch. Even worse, Del went 0-2 with his locks of the week. Fortunately, Del has been killing it enough all season long that he still boasts an 18-11 record with top picks. We’ll look to improve upon that over the final five weeks of the season.

For Week 13, Del likes a lot of favorites. Here are the Week 13 NFL Picks, with analysis after the sheet.

The Cowboys came away with an emotional victory over the Giants on Sunday night. Tony Romo, who has been labeled a “choker” by many critics, was anything but as he led Dallas to a late comeback in the fourth quarter. Typically I’d say a team in the Cowboys’ position would be in danger of a letdown, but how can you come out flat against the division-leading Eagles on Thanksgiving Day?

The Eagles and Cowboys are both 8-3, and this will be the most important game this season to date for both teams. Mark Sanchez has turned the ball over four times in two games. Philadelphia was able to overcome it against the lowly Titans last weekend. They won’t stand a chance against Romo, DeMarco Murray and company if Sanchez plays poorly.
