Gio had the best Week 12 of the bunch, and as Boomer had the worst, it's now a seven-game lead for Gregg Giannotti with just five weeks to go in the 2020 NFL season. And that's WITH amended picks, which was actually a good thing for some…because Ravens-Steelers at Steelers -5 would have been a push, and no good for anyone!
This week, we've somehow avoided the Cowboys (assuming they actually play Tuesday night), but the Vikes are back and Gio is conflicted, so hey, we got some good analysis!
First, the current standings (last week in parenthesis):
Gio: 32-28 (3-2)
Boomer: 25-35 (1-4)
Jerry: 24-36 (2-3)
(Al went 2-3 in his parlay picks, so he's 17-43 on picks and 0-12 on parlays)
And now, Week 13 picks from B&G (and J), brought to you by Oddstrader.com, Solo Stove, and Prop Swap:
GAME 1: Cleveland at Tennessee (-5.5)
Gio: Tennessee
Boomer: Tennessee
Jerry: Tennessee
Gio's take: "Tennessee had that lull where they weren't playing well, but I think the Browns are smoke and mirrors; the record looks one way, but the team plays another, and they aren't very good. Gimme Tennessee very confidently to win and cover."
GAME 2: Jacksonville at Minnesota (-10)
Gio: Jacksonville
Boomer: Minnesota
Jerry: Minnesota
Boomer's take: "Kirk Cousins is like Dan from Carteret – he's starting to make his moves! I like the moves he's making, and that he's NFC Player of the Week. The Jags are trying to get the No. 1 pick; they can't win this game, and everyone knows it. I think Kirk has his best game of the year and they blow out Jacksonville."
BONUS TAKE from Vikings fan Gio: "This is a ridiculous spread. The Jaguars are going to cover this easily, and I have a feeling they're going to win this game. This is one of those situations where the Vikings have an opportunity to catch up, and they'll be a dud. I can't say they're going to lose, but they're definitely not going to cover, and it's going to look ugly."
GAME 3: LA Rams at Arizona (+3)
Gio: Arizona
Boomer: LA Rams
Jerry: Arizona
Jerry's take: "Very weird game with two weird teams, so I'm flipping a coin…it's tails. Cards plus 3!"
GAME 4: Las Vegas at NY Jets (+8.5)
Gio: Las Vegas
Boomer: Las Vegas
Jerry: Las Vegas
Gio's take: "I'm never, ever, ever picking the Jets until they get a new head coach and a new quarterback. The Raiders may score 50 points in this game."
GAME 5: NY Giants at Seattle (-10)
Gio: Seattle
Boomer: Seattle
Jerry: NY Giants
Boomer's take: "Oh boy, 10 is a lot of points. I think the Seahawks will win, but the Giants might stay within the number…nah, I'm taking the Seahawks. Around here, you listen every day and hear these guys talk, and you get caught up in it. I got caught up in it last week with the Jets, so I'm not doing that this week!"
