Week 13 Predictions

CBS Breech (Lions 27-24 over Jaguars):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-13-picks-dolphins-shock-49ers-bengals-upset-chiefs-titans-stun-10-1-eagles/

SN Bender (Jacksonville Jaguars (-1) at Detroit Lions:  There is hope in both places for a change. Jacksonville is 2-5 in games decided by seven points or less, but they have won the last two. Con? The Jaguars are 1-4 S/U on the road. Detroit also is 2-5 in games decided by seven points or less. Somebody has to win, right? We’re going to stick with the home team.   Pick: Lions 29, Jaguars 28):  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-week-13/qjxrjzxzgircy74sljezdoqb

Big Lead (LIONS (-1.5) over JAGUARS:  If Detroit is going to win six straight to make the playoffs, they can't lose this week. And honestly, of all the times we've picked them and they've won, few have come with this level of confidence. The running attack is real, the defense is formidable and if they weren't named the Lions this line would be several points higher.

AP Pro Maaddi (Jacksonville (minus 1 1/2) at Detroit - Trevor Lawrence played his best NFL game in an impressive comeback win for the Jaguars over the Ravens. The Lions are much improved since a 1-6 start.  LIONS, 23-22):  https://pro32.ap.org/article/bills-patriots-kick-week-filled-playoff-type-games

O'HARA'S WEEK 13 PREVIEW: Lions have something to play for this December (Lions-Jaguars pick: Scary game for the Lions because of what another loss would mean. The Jags are coming off a big win over the Ravens. The Lions had a disheartening loss to the Bills.  Jaguars favored by 1.5.  My pick: Lions 26, Jaguars 24.):  https://www.detroitlions.com/news/week-13-preview-lions-have-something-to-play-for-this-december

NFL.com (Lions win 22-21:  These 4-7 teams deserve better than their records and having to face each other when peaking. Early-season weaknesses have turned to strengths, with Trevor Lawrence throwing uber-accurate passes, while the Lions' defense competes every week. Both teams have improved to average, and Detroit's rebuild is a bit further along than Jacksonville's. It's a toss-up, but the Lions being a home underdog is disrespectful enough for me to push back. ):  https://www.nfl.com/news/week-13-nfl-game-picks-2022-nfl-season

PFT’s NFL Week 13 2022 Picks (Jaguars (-1) at Lions - MDS’s take: Both of these teams have improved significantly from last year, when they had the two worst records in the NFL, and I think this should be an entertaining game that goes down to the last minute, with the Lions coming out on top.  MDS’s pick: Lions 28, Jaguars 27.  Florio’s take: The Lions would be in great position to make a playoff run if they’d managed to beat the Bills. The Lions can still make things interesting, but they need to win this one to keep the possibility on track.  Florio’s pick: Lions 27, Jaguars 24.):  https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/12/01/pfts-nfl-week-13-2022-picks/

Last-minute thoughts and prediction for Lions vs. Jaguars (I predict - This is the healthiest Lions team anyone could reasonably expect at this point in the season. The good health and the emotional lift from the return of DE Romeo Okwara and the debut of Jameson Williams should be huge for the sidelines and the locker room. Other than the Jaguars using the slot WR heavily, the Lions match up nicely in the Xs and Os against the visitors from Duval.  Lions 33, Jaguars 28):  https://lionswire.usatoday.com/2022/12/04/last-minute-thoughts-and-prediction-for-lions-vs-jaguars/

SN Iyer (Jaguars at Lions (-1, 51.5 o/u):  The Jaguars' passing offense is red-hot with Trevor Lawrence and there's en expectation Travis Etienne will return from the foot injury to help their rushing attack. These teams are similar given slot receivers Christian Kirk and Amon-Ra St. Brown are their go-to guys. The Jaguars have a little more young defensive juice around Travon Walker than the Lions have around Aidan Hutchinson. Lawrence is flat-out also already better than Jared Goff. Go with Doug Pederson's cats.  Pick: Jaguars win 31-27):  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-against-spread-week-13/xm29bv8touzvwum9uva6ajd6

CBS Prisco (Jacksonville Jaguars (-1) at Detroit Lions: The Jaguars are coming off an impressive home victory over the Ravens, while the Lions lost a tough one on Thanksgiving to the Bills. Both teams can score, which means this game will likely get loose. Look for a lot of points as Trevor Lawrence stays hot and the Lions score as well. The Jaguars will win a shootout.   Pick: Jaguars 33, Lions 30):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/priscos-week-13-nfl-picks-chiefs-get-revenge-on-bengals-in-one-point-thriller-49ers-cool-off-tuas-dolphins/

Fox sports (Prediction: Lawrence is ascending. In the past three games, he has completed 76.9% of his passes for 815 yards and six touchdowns with zero interceptions and a 116.1 passer rating. He has something special going with his receivers. And running back Travis Etienne is expected back after spraining his left foot vs. the Ravens.

Chark. A pass -- hurtling through space against a heavily favored Bills team -- with the potential to serve as Detroit's biggest moment in nearly forever. Instead, the throw was off the mark. One moment tucked inside a wave of late-game Lions chicanery that allowed Josh Allen to steal the show. I hated that pass for Goff because it masked over an otherwise-admirable showing. Outside of one absurd turnover-worthy lob into danger, Goff did his part for three-plus quarters. Then disaster struck. Goff in a nutshell, I suppose.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-qb-index-week-13-2022-season-rankings

NFL Week 13 underdogs: Mike White's Jets to keep rolling against Vikings? Can Dolphins defeat 49ers? (4. Jags at Lions:  Well, look at that. All it took was three straight quality games from Trevor Lawrence, capped off with a clutch touchdown drive against Baltimore, for folks to believe in the Jaguars again.  That’s obviously encouraging for Jacksonville fans, but Detroit certainly doesn't feel to me like an underdog in this matchup, not with the way the Lions have been playing lately.  Detroit essentially dominated the Giants two weeks ago, then took the high-powered Bills to the wire on Thanksgiving. Steeled by the NFL’s highest strength of schedule through 12 weeks, the Lions are no pushover. Are they still good for a clunker or two? Sure. But in Year 2 under Dan Campbell, they seem to be playing as if they believe they can win every remaining game.  Jacksonville, meanwhile, has won two of its last three, with the victory over the Ravens standing as the team's best win since a Week 3 blowout of the Chargers. Between then and now, though, the Jaguars trudged through a miserable five-game stretch in which they didn't record a single win and just didn't look good enough to beat anyone, even if the margin of defeat was never greater than a single possession.  Perhaps the oddsmakers see Detroit as the ideal opponent for the Jaguars to face as they attempt to push their arrow upward. I see it differently, though, because had the Lions held on in the final 30 seconds against the Bills, they would be in the midst of a four-game winning streak, with two of the wins coming on the road.  A second straight home game isn’t going to produce a second straight loss for these Lions. I'm certain of it. Detroit is explosive offensively and has struggled mightily on defense, though it's been better on that side of the ball lately. Sometimes you have to trust your gut, and that’s what I’m doing with this pick.
