In one of the premier matchups of the week, the experts over at CBS Sports are torn when it comes to picking the winner of the big Patriots vs. Packers game.  It’s not hard to imagine why with two of the league’s top scoring offenses going at it for four quarters of exciting football action.

[sc:NFL240banner ]The Patriots have averaged 39.5 points during their seven-game win streak. Quarterback Tom Brady has thrown for 315.3 yards per game with 22 touchdowns and four interceptions to power the Patriots’ offense during the streak. Think the Patriots bring their high-powered offense to Green Bay? Back New England to cover +3.

The Packers have won five straight at Lambeau Field. They’ve outscored opponents 66-0 in the first quarter and 128-9 in the first half of their last four home games led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Packers quarterback has thrown for 18 touchdowns and no interceptions in 144 pass attempts at Lambeau Field this season.

Bleacher Report

NFL Week 13 Line Pick
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions -7 DET Lions
Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys -3 DAL Cowboys
Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers Even 49ers
Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans -6 HOU Titans
Carolina Panthers at Minnesota Vikings -3 MIN Vikings
San Diego Chargers at Baltimore Ravens -5.5 BAL Ravens
Oakland Raiders at St. Louis Rams -7 STL Raiders
Washington Redskins at Indianapolis Colts -9.5 IND Colts
New York Giants at Jacksonville Jaguars +2.5 JAC Giants
New Orleans Saints at Pittsburgh Steelers -3 PIT Steelers
Cleveland Browns at Buffalo Bills -1 BUF Bills
Cincinnati Bengals at Tampa Bay Buccaneers +4 TB Bengals
Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons +2.5 ATL Cardinals
New England Patriots at Green Bay Packers -3 GB Packers
Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs +2 KC Broncos
Miami Dolphins at New York Jets +5.5 NYJ Dolphins

Isaiah Crowell

Bleacher Report is picking the Bills to come out on top against the Browns in a game between two playoff hopefuls. Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer has struggled recently with three touchdowns, six interceptions and a 55 percent completion rate in November. His struggles may continue against Buffalo’s defense which has given up only 14 passing touchdowns while snagging 13 interceptions this season.

The Browns have explosive rookie running back Isaiah Crowell, who rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries against the Falcons in Week 12. Crowell should be able to exploit a hole in the Bills’ defense, which has surrendered a league-worst 5.3 yards per carry in their last five games.

FOX Sports

NFL Week 13 Line Pick
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions -7 DET Bears
Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys -3 DAL Eagles
Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers -1.5 SF Seahawks
Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans -7 HOU Texans
Carolina Panthers at Minnesota Vikings -2.5 MIN Vikings
San Diego Chargers at Baltimore Ravens -7 BAL Ravens
Oakland Raiders at St. Louis Rams -7 STL Raiders
Washington Redskins at Indianapolis Colts -10.5 IND Redskins
New York Giants at Jacksonville Jaguars +2.5 JAC Giants
New Orleans Saints at Pittsburgh Steelers -4.5 PIT Steelers
Cleveland Browns at Buffalo Bills -2.5 BUF Bills
Cincinnati Bengals at Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3.5 TB Bengals
Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons +2.5 ATL Cardinals
New England Patriots at Green Bay Packers -3 GB Patriots
Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs Even Broncos
Miami Dolphins at New York Jets +7.5 NYJ Jets

The Broncos vs. Chiefs matchup is another tough game to call, but FOX Sports used WhatIfSports to simulate the game’s result of a Denver 25.9-22.5 win. Denver running back C.J. Anderson burst into the scene, rushing for 167 yards and a touchdown against Miami in Week 12, and should be able to get past Kansas City’s front seven which lets opponents rack up 129.4 rushing yards per game.

Meanwhile, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will be throwing bombs like he usually does but may have less production against the Chiefs’ No. 1-ranked pass defense (198.9 yards allowed per game). Kansas City also have a vaunted pass rush led by Justin Houston’s NFL-best 13 sacks.

The Chiefs are 4-0 SU/ATS in their last four home games. Should Kansas City take the upset, they’ll move closer to clinching AFC West, which they’re +550 to win.
