Week 13 NFL Picks & Kicks

This week, we break down a wild slate of NFL action as the season’s storylines heat up. We open with big league-wide headlines — from Brock Purdy standing alone as the only 2022 QB still starting in 2025, to Sheduar Sanders’ first career win, and Patrick Mahomes completing his sweep of all 31 NFL teams. Then it’s on to the Week 13 Report Card, including the Rams’ dominant showing, the Bills’ costly stumble in Houston, and a monster 219-yard performance from Jahmyr Gibbs. On defense, T.J. Watt’s milestone day takes center stage as he surpasses his brother on the all-time sack list.

We highlight the week’s most interesting matchups, call out the least compelling, and offer locks, upsets, and our latest round of picks in “Pickers the Game.” In Cheese Chat and Tomahawk Talk, we recap both teams’ temperature checks, key storylines, and a dramatic Chiefs overtime comeback sparked by Patrick Mahomes and Rashee Rice. We close the episode with a round of “Pick It or Kick It,” debating everything from whether the Rams are currently the NFL’s best team to which franchise — the Chiefs or Packers — is suffering the most disappointing season.
