Junk Food Nation, if you are reading this, it means I haven’t lost my shirt in Atlantic City…yet.  It also means I’ve probably been boozing, gambling, and clubbing for about fourteen hours straight.  And it means my birthday weekend is going as planned.

Before we get to my NFL Week 13 picks, I wanted to just mention something I saw at my local Giant grocery store: Pringle Bells Original Pringles.

The Money Shot

Cans and cans and cans

Thanks, Mr. P!

Pringle Bells Original Pringles is just another example of these junk food companies thinking that we, the consumer, are stupid enough to buy these Pringles just because they have a cool holiday can.  Are they, in any way, different than normal Pringles?  Nope.  Like the Star Wars Pringles, this is the same damn flavor as before, just with a little more ink on the outside.  Not gonna buy you, Pringle Bells.  Although I do like the rhyming word play.  Nerd points there.

OK, to the picks.  Last week, I went 9-6 (I forgot to pick the stupid PITT-KC game…ugh), giving me a two week total of 20-10 on the Moneyline.  Onto Week 13!:

Seattle @ Philly: Yeah this games over, and I would’ve picked Philly after Beast Mode couldn’t help lift Seattle past the woeful Skins.  PHILLY (loser #1 for me already).

Carolina @ TB: Tampa Bay is really regressing.  I think Cam wins another here.  PANTHERS.

Cincy @ Pitt: close matchup, but home field favors the STEELERS.

Atlanta @ Houston: I don’t care how good Arian Foster is – TJ Yates?  Didn’t he make my Subway sub this afternoon?  ATLANTA.

NYJ @ Washington: I HATE THE JETS.  Cmon, Redskins, show some grit.  I think SKINS take this one (picking out of spite – not good).

INDY @ New England: This one could get ugly very early.  No mercy rule in the NFL, huh?  PATS.

Oakland @ Miami: I’m actually gonna pick MIAMI here – over a week off and ready to prove toughness vs. a Raiders team still trying to find its burst.

Denver @ Minnesota: This matchup is the religion known as Tebow vs. a quarterback named Christian. You can’t make this up.  And this QB known as Christian <whispers> he’s not good. BRONCOS.

TENN vs. BUFF: BUUUUUFAAALLOOOOOOOOOOOO (please?)

KC @ Chicago: Chicago gets back in the win column here because Tyler Palko, I’m SURE of it, DID put make my sub this afternoon.  BEARS.

BALT @ CLEVELAND: RAVENS – you don’t need me to explain this one.

DALLAS @ ARZ: What the hell happened to Kevin Kolb, huh? Seriously – how did I think the Kolb (PHI) – Cromartie (ARZ) trade this offseason was the best one, but now BOTH teams suck?? What kind of curse is THAT!?  DALLAS takes this.

GB @ NYG: The ONLY matchup that I can see that Aaron Rodgers has left that should give him pause. The Giants are either amazing or high school wimps week by week.  Victor Cruz is the truth.  I think GB pulls it out, but this one is close.

STL @ San Fran: NINERS easily handle the woeful Rams. Hint: The Rams lost to Arizona last week. That’s <whispers> not good.

DET @ NO: No running game = no win for the Lions.  SAINTS.

SD @ Jax: This week, the Jaguars sold the team and fired the head coach.  So….yeah.  That happened. SD and Norv Turner get a W.  CHARGERS.

Have a fun Sunday, nation!  I’m off to detox.
