Here’s our top three suicide pool picks in Week 13 in the order we’d go with.
1. Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Oakland Raiders
This game won’t be much of a contest. The Steelers have dropped three straight and would fall completely out of the Wild Card race with another loss. Of course there’s about as good a chance of that happening as there is of our country reducing the National deficit anytime soon.
Look for Pittsburgh to have their way with the Raiders defense and rack up 30 plus points. On defense, we’d be surprised if the Raiders scored more than seven.
2. Minnesota Vikings vs. Arizona Cardinals
There’s a good chance that the Cardinals will have to play this game without Kurt Warner who’s still suffering side effects from the concussion he suffered two weeks ago. If he is unable to go, Matt Leinart is dead in the water; Jared Allen and Co. will make his life miserable pressuring him into errant throws and turnovers.
On the other side of the ball, Brett Favre is currently hitting on all cylinders. While he’ll have another solid game throwing to Harvin, Rice and Schiancoe, the real star of this contest will be Adrian Peterson. The Cardinals defense has suddenly forgotten how to stop the run and AD will find tons of holes to run through.
3. San Diego Chargers vs. Cleveland Browns
Even with Merriman sitting out with an injury, this will be a cake walk. Offensively, the Chargers will have little difficulty passing and running the ball on the Browns. Defensively, the Chargers have rediscovered their pass rush and their front seven will force Brady Quinn into mistakes. Overall, this is probably the second easiest game on the board, and San Diego should win in a laugher.
