Fearless Rick & Coin Flip NFL Week 13 Late Games
All times Eastern
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-6, 47) at Carolina Panthers, 4:05 pm (FOX) - In what could be the pick of the week, Tampa Bay took out most of its frustration from losing four straight games to solid opponents - the Ravens, Falcons, Chiefs, and 49ers, the last three by five, six in overtime, and three points - on the hapless Giants, in a 30-7 road victory.
Carolina made strides tying the Chiefs late last week but still losing by a field goal, but Tampa's defense is unlikely to be very forgiving and Baker Mayfield is playing like a man possessed. A win puts the Bucs at 6-6, and an Atlanta loss would have them tied for the division lead.
Coin Flip: Carolina
Fearless Rick's Pick: Buccaneers 31 Panthers 17
While Los Angeles is 2-3 in road games, the Saints are an even 3-3 at home, and two of those losses were with Spencer Rattler at QB, not Derek Carr (Tampa Bay, 51-27; Denver, 33-10). After seven straight losses the Saints have won their last two and appear capable of being very streaky.
Coin Flip: New Orleans
Fearless Rick's Pick: Saints 30 Rams 23
Philadelphia won their first 10 games last year before flaming out late, but are well-known for long winning streaks. Baltimore will test them, but the Eagles have more weapons at more positions and are likely to take this game very seriously.
Coin Flip: Baltimore
Fearless Rick's Pick: Eagles 30 Ravens 24
San Francisco looked pathetic at Green Bay in a 38-10 rout. Brock Purdy is listed as questionable, but how can they win with Christian McCaffrey playing at stall speed? Looks like a Bills blowout.
Coin Flip: San Francisco
Fearless Rick's Pick: Bills 42 49ers 13
Cleveland Browns at Denver Broncos (-5.5, 41.5), 8:15 pm (ESPN) - The Browns took advantage of a tired Pittsburgh team in last Thursday's 24-19 win, but now must travel to meet a fired-up Broncos team on the cusp of playoff contention. James Winston give the Browns some hope.
Bo Nix has been getting the job done for Denver and has them at 7-5 after two straight wins over Atlanta and Las Vegas. A win here gets them to a bye next week, setting up their final four games in good shape.
Coin Flip: Cleveland
Fearless Rick's Pick: Broncos 27 Browns 17
