In another upset-filled NFL week, week 12 featured several surprises and even the first-ever tie in which both teams kicked a field goal in overtime.
Last week's results:
- Justin Lee: 8-5-1
- Tom Downey: 7-6-1
- Al King: 5-8-1
- Derick Hutchinson: 4-9-1
It's a new week, here are the picks for week 13.
Thursday Games
Oakland (+9.5) at Dallas

- Justin: NY Giants
- Derick: NY Giants
- Al: NY Giants
The Washington offensive debacle that aired on Monday night wasn't enough for all four experts to pick the Giants, but Tom was the only one to take a leap of faith.
