It is Week Thirteen of the 2023-24 National Football League regular season. That means that there is only five more weeks (after this week) in which your favorite NFL team is guaranteed to be playing a game!

I am honestly really disappointed about last week's predictions. I won the first four games of Week Twelve (three on Thursday and one on Friday) and then I only won five games on Sunday!

So I went 9-7 in Week 12 (at least I think I did). I honestly thought about changing my predictions for the Sunday Night game and the Monday Night game, so I really should have changed those predictions! It was honestly a stupid decision not to change both of those predictions!

I basically feel like with my Sunday predictions last week that I essentially committed prediction suicide!

I picked certain teams to win last week on Sunday because I thought those teams would actually win last week for various reasons! Dumb decision!

At least those games weren't stupid decisions! A stupid decision is when you really know the truth and you still decide to stick with that decision anyway. A dumb decision is when you just aren't thinking things through enough and you are somewhat ignorant of the truth in that moment when you are making that decision.

I picked Cincinnati to win last week vs. Pittsburgh. Like why did I even consider picking Cincinnati to win? Why! Jake Browning as the quarterback for the Bengals? At least the Steelers quarterback (or quarterbacks) have had a decent amount of NFL experience!

I thought I would give Baker Mayfield a shot and that ended up going horribly wrong as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost against the Indianapolis Colts.

The Patriots losing at the Giants felt like one of the real losses that I just have to eat. I don't really have a ton of regrets about picking that game!

I feel like I got really lucky (or maybe it was just the right week and the right head-to-head matchup) for New Orleans at Atlanta, Carolina at Tennessee and Jacksonville at Houston games! The Jacksonville prediction seemed easy as C.J. Stroud was due to lose very soon and Houston upset Jacksonville in Jacksonville earlier this season, so it was payback for what happened earlier this season.

For the late afternoon slate of games, I hate Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams (and I should have picked the Rams to win last Sunday and I have a feeling the Rams could actually going to lose this week) and I honestly don't know what I was thinking by picking against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs! I was thinking the Raiders could steal a win from the Chiefs with their current new head coach replacing the fired Josh McDaniels! I guess the Raiders can ruin the Chiefs' Christmas Day maybe as they are playing in Kansas City.

I won with the Cleveland at Denver game (which I feel like I got somewhat lucky to be honest) and I think everyone felt like they probably should have lost the Bills-Eagles game, regardless of which team you picked to win!

The entire thing (all of my predictions from last Sunday) really aren't worth taking the time to obsess (very much more) over. I could play the what if game forever and my final won-lost record from last week in the NFL would still be 9 wins and 7 losses.

Before Thursday, November 30th, 2023, I wrote the following teams who I thought might actually win in Week Thirteen of the NFL season just to see what I could come up with. So here is that list:

Teams who might actually win in NFL Week 13:

Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans, Los Angeles Chargers, Detroit Lions, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville Jaguars

Sometimes I post my predictions for the Thursday Night Football game each week on my various social media before I actually write a prediction story each week. You can find where I am at on my various social media right here on my website.

These are the teams on bye week in Week Thirteen: Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Las Vegas Raiders, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants.

So here are my official and actual predictions to win and lose for Week 13:

I reserve the right to change my predictions before game time. I also can change my predictions AFTER game time ONLY if I decide BEFORE game time that I want to change my predictions and I just do not have access to the Internet before game time.
