It’s Week 13! Thanksgiving is upon us, and this week Conor Orr has one reason all 32 teams can be thankful.
We can all be thankful for three big games Thursday. The Packers and Lions will battle for playoff positioning in the NFC North. Then the Chiefs and Cowboys will fight to stay in their respective playoff races. And Joe Burrow will return to action when the Bengals visit the Ravens in the nightcap.
For dessert on Black Friday, the Eagles and Bears will meet in a game between NFC division leaders. Sunday is no slouch either, with the Texans’ stifling defense looking to shut down Daniel Jones’s Colts to stay in the AFC South race.
Here’s who we have making picks this week:
Conor Orr, senior writer
Gilberto Manzano, staff writer
Matt Verderame, staff writer
John Pluym, managing editor
Mitch Goldich, senior editor
Clare Brennan, associate editor
