Welcome to Week 13. This week I like these match ups:

49er's @ Saints
Colts @ Titans
Cardinals @ Rams
Jets @ Packers
Chargers @ Bills

These games should give us positive results from Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Marques Colston, Joseph Addai, Reggie Wayne, Larry Fitzgerald, Tory Holt, Laveraneus Coles and Ladanian Tomlinson.
  
Weekly Recap

Looks like Joseph Addai had his coming out party last week against the Eagles, scoring 4 touchdowns. Drew Brees had another 300 yard passing game, and he may do it again this week, with a matchup against the 49er's.

 Game of the Week

1. Cowboys @ Giants - The G-Men need to salvage their season, and Dallas is looking to take control of a playoff spot. The Giants' clubhouse seems to be in shambles right now, with personalities like Michael Strahan, Plaxico Burress, Tiki Barber and Jeremy Shockey involved. Eli Manning needs to go and smack someone, because the Cowboys are going to get after it big time on Sunday.
