NFL Week 13 Pick'em

Well, it feels good to get rid of that losing streak.  We had a nice 9-5 overall week but the SuperContest picks could have been better than 3-2 (thanks a lot Panthers).  The New England Patriots had a huge comeback win over the Denver Broncos 34-31 in OT.  Tom Brady's offense was lost in the first half falling behind 24-0.  However, he rallied his team to score 31 straight points.  But, it was a muffed punt in overtime that set up the Patriots for the game winning field goal.  This wasn't the only game to go into OT either as Minnesota and Green Bay played to a tie.  This was the second tie in two years.  Each team scored a field goal on their first possession of the extra time but couldn't score again.  I think they need to get rid of ties in the NFL altogether but a debate for another time.  We'll stick with our shorter breakdowns again this week because we all know that gamblers are superstitious and like to stay with what works.
