2020 NFL Predictions Week 13 (Part IV)

 Welcome to Timerssports

NFL Predictions - 

Washington at Steelers - 

Washington is currently the leader in the NFC East, but has a very challenging task here in week 13! Luckily, their NFC East's rivals are playing against the Seahawks, Packers and Ravens. So even if they lose, there is a really good chance that they will still be atop o the NFC East. The Cowboys probably have the best chance to win and I don't give them much of one. I think Washington has played better than we expected them to and I also think the NFC East has played a lot worse than we thought, too. 

On other hand, the Steelers have also played better than we all thought. Headed into the season, I was pretty high on this team. I thought that the defense was on another level (last season) and I thought that the offense would make them a legit playoff contender and likely give them an excellent shot at the division. Well I thought they could override the Ravens in the AFC North, I didn't think it would happen until the month of December. Yet, they been leading the division since week 1 now! 

Prediction - Washington played well on Thanksgiving, but the Steelers are a different animal and they will roll in this one!

Bills at 49ers -

The 49ers had a big win vs the Rams in week 12 and will look to get another upset in week 13 vs the Bills. While the Bills are looking to keep pace with the AFC South leader (the Titans) for the No.3 seed. The Bills has been fun to watch and I think the improved play of Josh Allen has been one of the biggest reason for why they have been so much better. I thought they were good last season, but he has taken them to the next level this season. On defense, I don't think they are nearly as good as last season. They can make plays, but I don't think they are nearly as depended on that defense as they been in the years' past. 

The 49ers were impressive in their win over the Rams and I was pretty shocked by it! They jumped out to a big lead and then they drove down the field for a game-tying field goal to send it to overtime. Then they drove down the field again in overtime and took the win! Can they do it again? I guess we will find out, but they are doing it without some backups in there and that say a lot what kind of team they are! 

Prediction - I want to go with the 49ers, but the Bills are just gonna be too much for the 49ers to pull this game out! 

Cowboys at Ravens -

The Cowboys kept the Washington's game close for awhile, but then the mistakes kept piling up and Washington eventually started to pile on the points. At end of the day, the Cowboys just aren't very good and their coach has proven that he can't win without a top-tier QB. And some of that has to do with his style of playcalling, I don't believe it because of talent. Because other teams have proven they can win with less than what the Cowboys have right now. 

As for the Ravens, they are coming off a screwy week and just played a game on Wednesday. But they were missing a lot of key players in that game vs the Steelers. I believe, they will make the playoffs in the AFC because they will run the table here. They are good enough (healthy) to win rest of their games and I also believe that a few teams ahead of them in the AFC playoffs' race will run into problems. That should only help their case for making the post-season. Long as Lamar Jackson and his friends are healthy, I think they can make some noises down the stench! 

Prediction - The Ravens get the win in this one as the Cowboys' horrible season keep getting worse and worse by the week!
