Prediction
I said it before the season that Detroit made a mistake in hiring Matt Patricia as their head coach and we’re seeing that play out right now. Detroit has problems on both sides of the ball while the Rams are scoring points like they’re going out of style. The Lions have been limited to 20 points or less in four of their last five games while giving up 24 or more three times during the span and 28 points or more twice. The Rams have gone a robust 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a bye week while the Lions are a discouraging 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games against a team with a winning record and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. L.A. wins and cashes in. NFL Week 13 Pick: Rams 35 Lions 20Arizona Cardinals (2-9) at Green Bay Packers (4-6)

Prediction
I’m going to give you some simple advice and that’s to back Arizona to cover the chalk as a two-touchdown road dog in this matchup. The Cardinals have been stupendous in ranking fourth against the pass (219.8 ypg) and I believe they are going to make life difficult on Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay’s passing attack, particularly seeing as how the Packers don’t have a very potent rushing attack as well. The Cardinals are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games against their NFC counterparts and 14-5 ATS in their last 19 road games against a team with a losing home record while the Packers have gone 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games overall, 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss and an identical 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games against their NFC counterparts. Green bay wins, but Arizona covers. NFL Week 13 Pick: Green Bay 31 Arizona 20Carolina Panthers (6-5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-7)
