Week 13 NFL Injuries and Weather For Fantasy Football and Spread Picks

Week 13 NFL picks against the spread are up and the BCS bowl projections are in. OffshoreInsiders.com projects the Alabama-Texas odds to be the Crimson Tide -5.

But it’s time to focus on week 13 NFL injuries and NFL weather for fantasy football and sports handicapping picks alike. In reality, weather won’t be much of a factor. Even in the northeast cites, the temperatures are fairly mild and above freezing.

Vikings vs. Cardinals

Arizona QB Kurt Warner is expected to play after being a last minute scratch last week.

Saints vs. Redskins

Washington’s best defensive player Albert Haynesworth is expected to return. Meanwhile the Saints will be without four key players on defense: LBs Marvin Mitchell, Scott Fujita, and CBs Randall Gay and Jabari Greer. 

Washington RB Clinton Portis is out.

Rams vs. Bears

St. Louis RB Steven Jackson is probable, though the cold air of Chicago will inhibit the ability of his back to loosen. Chicago will likely be without OT Orlando Pace and LB Lance Briggs. But CB Charles Tillman and DT Tommie Harris will play.

The Rams will be minus middling QB Marc Bulger.

Patriots vs. Dolphins

New England will be lacking CB Shawn Springs, RB Fred Taylor, WR Julian Edelman, OL Sebastian Vollmer, and DB Brett Lockett.

Texans vs. Jaguars

RB Steve Slaton is out for Houston. Chris Brown gets the start. Ryan Moats will also get playing time.

Cowboys vs. Giants

New York RB Ahmad Bradshaw will play but at less than 100 percent.

Buccaneers vs. Panthers

Carolina starting QB Jake Delhomme is out. Matt Moore gets the start.

Eagles vs. Falcons

Both teams will have key players out. Chris Redman starts at QB for Atlanta as Matt Ryan is out. WR DeSean Jackson and RB Brian Westbrook are out for the Iggles. RB Michael Turner is very doubtful for the Dirty Birds.

Titans vs. Colts

WR Anthony Gonzalez is absent for the Colts.

Raiders vs. Steelers

Pittsburgh will be without their best defensive player Troy Polamalu. This is one of the few games will temperatures will be around freezing with kickoff temp at 32.
