The race for the top spot on the parlay picks continues to get tighter.  Drew Phelps has gotten to within 3 games and Jeff Mans has been making a strong second half surge to get within 5.5.  The group as a whole had some struggles but I expect a big Week 13.  Here are the Week 13 Parlay Picks.

Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans +7

The Titans stumbled on the road last week against a much improved Jacksonville team but come against the Texans whose pass defense has been exposed lately.  I think Jake Locker makes a bunch of plays to keep either win or cover.

Philadelphia Eagles +10.5 @ Dallas Cowboys

Tony Romo should have a monster game against an Eagles defense that has completely fallen apart as of late.  The Eagles are 1-9-1 against the spread which to some means I should take the Cowboys but +10.5 for an erratic Cowboys team is just too many.  I will take the Eagles to cover.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens -7

Charlie Batch is about all you need to know.  Baltimore plays much better at home and they should destroy the Steelers.

Jacksonville Jaguars +6.5 @ Buffalo Bills

The Jaguars are a completely different team with Chad Henne and Buffalo is just finds ways to lose games.  Jacksonville can hang close enough if not win this on the road.

Cleveland Browns -2.5 @ Oakland Raiders

The weather in Oakland is expected to be a train wreck and so are the Oakland Raiders.  I expect Trent Richardson to mud it out and lead Cleveland to the cover.

New York Giants @ Washington Redskins +3

New England Patriots -7 @ Miami Dolphins

Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers -7.5

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens -7

Carolina Panthers -5.5 @ Kansas City Chiefs

Jeff Mans of Fantasy Alarm (@jeff_mans)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +7.5 @ Denver Broncos

To give the NFL’s highest scoring offense since October 1st over a touchdown even against a strong opponent is ridiculous.  I say the Bucs keep it tight in the Mile High City this week. 

Detroit Lions -6.5 vs. Indianapolis Colts

The Colts are not nearly as strong on the road and the Lions desperately need a win.  I have a feeling that Detroit wins this game by 14+ points. 

Seattle Seahawks +3  @ Chicago Bears

The Seahawks are in must win mode now and the Bears suffered a ton of injuries last week.  If the Seahawks don’t pull off the upset I am sure they will at least keep this game close. 

Jacksonville Jaguars +6.5 @ Buffalo Bills

Evidently oddsmakers haven’t noticed the turnaround in Jacksonville these past couple of weeks but I sure as hell have.  This game should be a pick’em let alone a 6 ½ point spread. 

New England Patriots -7 @ Miami Dolphins

It doesn’t appear the Pats offense will slow down at all despite losing Rob Gronkowski.  They’ll win this game by more than 10 points guaranteed. 

Drew Phelps of SiriusXM (@djdrew05)

Carolina Panthers @ Kansas City Chiefs +3.5

Last week Cam Newton came alive against a terrible and spent Philadelphia Eagles team.  As Peyton Manning saw last week, it is hard to head into Arrow Head and get a win.  We'll see a totally different Panthers team against the Chiefs.

Jacksonville Jaguars +6.5 @ Buffalo Bills

As long as Chad Henne is leading the Jaguars, I believe in their offense.  The Bills defense can't stop anyone and Ryan Fitzpatrick loves the throw the games away.  I'm all over the Jags this week.

Houston Texans -7 @ Tennessee Titans

The Texans just have too much for the Titans to handle.  Houston's offense will overwhelm Tennessee's sub-par defense and JJ Watt will be all over Jake Locker.

Cincinnati Bengals -1 @ San Diego Chargers

If there was any more proof that Norv Turner is done in San Diego, just go back and watch the 4th & 29 play against the Ravens.  The Bengals have found their groove offensively starting with a steady run game and a dynamic passing game with AJ Green.  These two teams are going in two totally different directions.

Indianapolis Colts +5 @ Detroit Lions

The Lions' season officially ended on Thanksgiving and the Colts seem like a team of destiny.  Andrew Luck will pick apart the Lions weak secondary and carry them to a win.

Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers -7.5

You have to love the Cheeseheads!!!

Cincinnati  Bengals @ San Diego Charger +1

Who wouldn’t want to be in San Diego right now?

Philadelphia Eagles +10.5 @ Dallas Cowboys

Tony Romo is too busy with women to play good football

San Francisco 49ers @ St. Louis Rams +7.5

I have to take my hometown team.

Houston Texans +7 @ Tennessee Titans

This is my Dad’s pick of the week.

Want to know a little bit more about each participant?  Really?  You do?  Why?  Well, in that case, we profile each competitor. 

Ted Schuster is the co-host of the Fantasy Alarm Show on SIRIUS/XM with Jeff Mans.  Always the angriest person in the room and never afraid to say someone sucks.  I am always hating on someone or some team.   Lifelong sports fan that will watch just about every sport around but nothing compares to NFL and College Football which is what you can find me doing each and every weekend during the fall and winter months.

Michael Stein of Fantasy Judgment is the Supreme Court Justice of the Fantasy Football world.  Stein is the man to go to if you have any sort of issue in your fantasy football league. Fantasy Judgment is the site you need if you have a rogue commissioner who is pulling things over on your league, a trade that just seems to be really fishy, or any other kind of shenanigans that can take a good fantasy league and make it turn badly. Not to mention the fine work that he does for us here at Fantasy Alarm.  Stein picks like he has had a lobotomy, so be careful before you put any of your hard earned money on any selections that he makes!

Jeff Mans has played fantasy football for over 20 years and is my partner on The Fantasy Alarm Show.  Jeff’s outside the box thinking has served him well and gained him much attention throughout the fantasy sports industry.  He’s won many championships but few friends in the process.  Although he has a wealth of knowledge and never shuts up, he knows that he’ll need to get through me to win this competition.

Drew Phelps is the Executive Producer of the Fantasy Alarm Show on SiriusXM Satellite Radio.  Lifelong suffering Washigton DC sports fan and very cynical when it comes to his own teams, but can you blame him?  He has been in handicapping sporting events for over 10 years now but just really hit his stride over the past couple seasons especially in the NFL.

Hannah Landrigan is a Freshman cheerleader at Mineral Area College in Missouri.  She is a legend on Twitter (@hannahlandrigan) mostly for her hot as hell pictures of her under a waterfall but also for her quick wit and social commentary.  Her favorite team in all of sports is the Duke Blue Devils college basketball team.  She is admittedly not a big NFL fan but likes to play rough with the boys and thus is in it to win it.
