NFL Week 13 Picks: Dallas Cowboys and Teams That Will Dominate

The 2011 NFL season has seen a number of close games, but on Sunday, some teams won't be fortunate enough to compete for all four quarters. 

While there are a few good games in Week 13, others will obviously be no contest. We've all been blessed with wild finishes, huge upsets and even crazy comebacks, but some teams won't partake in any of that this Sunday. 

With that said, here are three teams set to dominate in Week 13. 

Dallas Cowboys 

They've had their ups and downs this season, but on Sunday, the Cowboys will easily take care of business against a subpar Arizona Cardinals team. It helps the Cardinals that the game is being played in Arizona, but they don't stand much of a chance.

Sure, Tony Romo and company have had a hard time beating weaker teams in their last couple of games, but they will right the ship on Sunday. The extra rest Dallas received from playing on Thanksgiving Day will help the Cowboys demolish the Cardinals. 

Arizona is coming off of a close win over the St. Louis Rams, who the Cowboys had no problem beating just over a month ago. Expect a big game from Romo and DeMarco Murray, since the Cardinals' defense ranks 26th in the NFL. 

Prediction: Cowboys 30, Cardinals 17 

Baltimore Ravens 

John Harbaugh and the Ravens are feeling great after a Thanksgiving Day victory over the San Francisco 49ers, and they'll use that confidence to crush their division rival, the lowly Cleveland Browns. 

It's been a tough year for Cleveland, as the Browns have won just two of their last eight games. With no true leader on the team and an offense that lacks firepower, they will find it very difficult to move the ball on this stingy Ravens' defense. 

Sure, the Browns are ranked No. 1 in the NFL in pass defense, but they'll have no answer for Ray Rice, nor will they be able to put many points on the board. Expect Phil Dawson to have plenty of field goal opportunities on Sunday. 

Prediction: Ravens 38, Browns 16 

New England Patriots 

Tom Brady told reporters, "The NFL misses guys like that… I know how much football means to Peyton."

The competitor in Brady loves to beat Manning, but he won't get that chance this Sunday, when the Patriots host the winless Indianapolis Colts. 

Curtis Painter is far from Manning, and it has resulted in an awful season for the Colts. The defense hasn't helped much, either, ranking 31st in the league against the run and 18th against the pass. Brady and company will no trouble against the depleted Colts. 

The Colts put up a good fight last week against the Panthers, but they once again fell short. They'll certainly be motivated to get that first victory against New England, but there is no hope. This will be a blowout victory for the Patriots. 

Prediction: Patriots 34, Colts 17
