2025 NFL Week 13 Preview and Predictions

(7-3-1) Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions (7-4)

Thanksgiving Football kicks off in style as the Detroit Lions host the Green Bay Packers in a massive NFC North clash! The Detroit Lions managed to just about beat the New York Giants in overtime last week, and they currently sit third in the NFC North! As it stands, The Lions are outside of the Playoff places! As for Green Bay, they breezed past the Minnesota Vikings last time out, and they currently find themselves second in the NFC North! If the season ended today, The Packers would make the Playoffs as the Number 6 seed! In the end, I think Detroit will find a way to win this game! This is a critical game in both teams’ seasons, but I have a little more faith in The Lions to get the job done!

(6-5) Kansas City Chiefs @ Dallas Cowboys (5-5-1)

Two teams chasing the Playoffs face off in Dallas as The Cowboys welcome The Chiefs to AT&T Stadium! The Dallas Cowboys stunned the Philadelphia Eagles last weekend, and they currently sit second in the NFC East! As it stands, The Cowboys still have a ways to go to catch up in the Playoff Race! As for Kansas City, they managed to beat the Indianapolis Colts in overtime last time out, and they currently find themselves third in the AFC West! If the season ended today, The Chiefs wouldn’t make the Playoffs! In the end, I’m going to say that Dallas will win this game! My reasoning is I didn’t back them to beat Philly, and they did, so they deserve my vote this week!

(3-8) Cincinnati Bengals @ Baltimore Ravens (6-5)

Joe Burrow returns to try and save the Cincinnati Bengals’ season against a rising Baltimore Ravens in the final Thanksgiving game of 2025! The Baltimore Ravens made it 5-straight wins with a comfortable victory over the New York Jets last time out, and they currently lead the AFC North! As it stands, The Ravens own the AFC’s Number 4 seed! As for Cincinnati, they lost at home to the New England Patriots in Week 12, and they currently sit third in the AFC North! If the season ended today, The Bengals would end up as one of the worst teams in the AFC! In the end, I expect Baltimore to win again here! Even if Joe Burrow comes back firing, the rest of The Bengals team isn’t that good, whilst The Ravens are constantly improving!

(8-3) Chicago Bears @ Philadelphia Eagles (8-3)

The best game of the weekend takes place in Philadelphia as the reigning Super Bowl Champions Eagles play host to the charging Chicago Bears for Black Friday Football! The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a really poor loss in Dallas last weekend, but they do still currently comfortably lead the NFC East! As it stands, The Eagles own the NFC’s Number 2 seed! As for Chicago, they picked up a great win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last time out, and they currently find themselves first in the NFC North! If the season ended today, The Bears would take the NFC’s Number 3 seed! In the end, I think Philly win out here! This really isn’t an easy one to call, given both teams’ opposite fortunes last week, but still, The Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl Champions for a reason!

(8-4) San Francisco 49ers @ Cleveland Browns (3-8)

The Cleveland Browns picked up a rare victory in Las Vegas last time out, but they do still currently find themselves bottom of the AFC North! As it stands, The Browns are looking at a really high draft pick! As for San Francisco, they came out victorious over the Carolina Panthers Monday Night, and they currently sit third in the NFC West! If the season ended today, The 49ers would get into the Playoffs as the NFC’s final seed! In the end, this should be a pretty straightforward game for The 49ers! San Fran shouldn’t have to worry about Cleveland much here; it’s more about staying healthy before their Bye week!

(7-4) Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans (1-10)

The Tennessee Titans lost again last time out against the Seattle Seahawks, and they currently sit bottom of the AFC South! As it stands, The Titans are the worst team in the entire National Football League! As for Jacksonville, they managed to beat the Arizona Cardinals in overtime last weekend, and they currently find themselves second in the AFC South! If the season ended today, The Jaguars would enter the Playoffs as the AFC’s Number 6 seed! In the end, Jacksonville should win this game easily! What a massive opportunity this is for The Jags, especially given the next game that’s coming up on this list!

(6-5) Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts (8-3)

A game with huge implications in the fight for the AFC South Title takes place in Indianapolis as The Colts look to hold off a charging Houston Texans! The Indianapolis Colts suffered a tough overtime loss in Kansas City last time out, but they do still currently lead the AFC South! As it stands, The Colts currently occupy the AFC’s Number 3 seed! As for Houston, they picked up a brilliant win over the Buffalo Bills in last week’s Thursday Night Football, and they currently sit third in the AFC South! If the season ended today, The Texans would just miss out on the Playoff places! In the end, I think Houston will win this game! This is absolutely a must-win game for The Texans, but I think their defense will prove too strong for The Colts’ offense to break down!

(2-9) New Orleans Saints @ Miami Dolphins (4-7)

The Miami Dolphins enter Week 13 off the back of 2 wins and a Bye, and they currently sit third in the AFC East! As it stands, The Dolphins are a long shot to make the Playoffs! As for New Orleans, they got swept aside by the Atlanta Falcons last time out, and they currently find themselves bottom of the NFC South! If the season ended today, The Saints would be the second-worst team in the NFC! In the end, this is a very winnable game for Miami! What an opportunity for The Dolphins!

(4-7) Atlanta Falcons @ New York Jets (2-9)

The New York Jets were easily second best in Baltimore last weekend, and they currently find themselves last in the AFC East! As it stands, The Jets are one of the worst teams in the entire league! As for Atlanta, they managed to pick up the win in New Orleans last time out, and they currently sit third in the NFC South! If the season ended today, The Falcons would fall well short of making the Playoffs! In the end, I very much expect Atlanta to win this game! The Falcons shouldn’t slip up against a terrible Jets team!

(3-8) Arizona Cardinals @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-5)

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got smashed by the Los Angeles Rams Sunday Night, but they do still currently lead the NFC South! As it stands, The Buccaneers find themselves as the NFC’s Number 4 seed! As for Arizona, they lost again last time out against the Jacksonville Jaguars in overtime, and they currently sit bottom of the NFC West! If the season ended today, The Cardinals would receive a Top 10 Draft pick! In the end, this is a perfect bounce-back game for Tampa Bay! The Bucs should be good enough to beat The Cardinals!

(9-2) Los Angeles Rams @ Carolina Panthers (6-6)

The Carolina Panthers were poor against the San Francisco 49ers Monday Night, and they currently sit second in the NFC South! As it stands, The Panthers are outside of the Playoff places! As for LA, they put out a statement by thrashing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in last week’s Sunday Night Football, and they currently lead the NFC West! If the season ended today, The Rams would take the Number 1 seed in the NFC! In the end, this should be a 7th-straight win for the LA Rams! The Panthers’ offense was terrible the other day, and The Rams should walk this!

(4-7) Minnesota Vikings @ Seattle Seahawks (8-3)

The Seattle Seahawks bounced back with a victory in Tennessee last weekend, and they currently sit second in the NFC West! As it stands, The Seahawks find themselves as the NFC’s Number 5 seed! As for Minnesota, they were easily second best in Green Bay last time out, and they currently find themselves bottom of the NFC North! If the season ended today, The Vikings wouldn’t come close to making the Playoffs! In the end, this should be relatively straightforward for The Seahawks! I’d be stunned if Seattle lost this game!

(7-4) Buffalo Bills @ Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5)

Another big game in the AFC Playoff Race takes place in Pittsburgh as The Steelers host the Buffalo Bills! The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a tough loss in Chicago last time out, and they currently find themselves second in the AFC North! As it stands, The Steelers are out of the Playoff places entirely! As for Buffalo, they lost in Houston last Thursday Night, and they currently sit second in the AFC East! If the season ended today, The Bills would just about make the Playoffs (as the AFC’s Number 7 seed)! In the end, I’m going to back The Steelers to win this one! Neither team is that convincing in my opinion, so I’ll back Pittsburgh due to home-field advantage!

(2-9) Las Vegas Raiders @ Los Angeles Chargers (7-4)

The Los Angeles Chargers enter Week 13 off the back of a much-needed Bye Week, and they currently sit second in the AFC West! As it stands, The Chargers own the AFC’s Number 5 seed! As for Las Vegas, they suffered a terrible defeat at home to the Cleveland Browns last time out, and they currently find themselves easily last in the AFC West! If the season ended today, The Raiders would get a Top 5 Draft pick! In the end, this should be the easiest win in LA Chargers lives! Talk about a perfect return game!

(9-2) Denver Broncos @ Washington Commanders (3-8)

The Washington Commanders enter Week 13 off the back of 6 losses and a Bye, and they currently sit third in the NFC East! As it stands, The Commanders are all but out of Playoff contention! As for Denver, they’ve won 8-straight games before last week’s Bye, and they currently lead the AFC West! If the season ended today, The Broncos would enter the AFC Playoffs as the Number 2 seed! In the end, I firmly expect The Broncos to dominate this game! Denver are a far superior team than Washington, and I don’t expect the “week off” to hurt them!

(2-10) New York Giants @ New England Patriots (10-2)

The final game of a monster Thanksgiving Weekend sees the New England Patriots welcome the New York Giants to Gillette Stadium! The New England Patriots made it 9-straight wins in Cincinnati last weekend, and they currently lead the AFC East! As it stands, The Patriots occupy the AFC’s Number 1 seed! As for New York, they lost another entertaining game against the Detroit Lions last time out, and they currently sit last in the NFC East! If the season ended today, The Giants would be the worst team in the NFC! In the end, The Patriots will definitely win this game! The fact that New England are only 7 and a 1/2 favourites for this game seems incredibly wrong, honestly!
