Around The NFL's power picks: Week 13

Published: Nov 26, 2014 at 03:15 AM

Welcome back to Around The NFL's weekly picks. This season will be a little different. We'll have all our picks as usual and include our Duracell Power Picks below them. That's the pick of the week we feel most confident in. (No easy calls allowed.) Also, make your own weekly picks and compete against the Around The NFL team with Weekly Pick 'Em.

Gregg Rosenthal's power pick: Pittsburgh Steelers over New Orleans Saints. If New Orleans loses three straight at home, they definitely aren't going to win on the road against a quality opponent on a short week. This smells like a fortyburger.

Marc Sessler's power pick: Dolphins over Jets. Enter stage left: A Monday night snoozefest for the ages.

Dan's power pick: Dolphins over Jets. The Dolphins are better than they get credit for. The Jets are just counting down the clock until they hit the self-destruct button in January.

Chris Wesseling's power pick: Giants over Jaguars. Scratch out Chuck Norris' name. Insert Odell Beckham Jr.'s.

Kevin Patra's power pick: Bengals over Bucs.Andy Dalton is playing an afternoon game. Book it.

Marc Sessler: 10-2
Kevin Patra: 8-4
