NFL Week 13 Picks: Blowout-Watch for Week's Ugliest Games

There is more parity in the NFL today than ever before. However, when looking at the Week 13 schedule, I see a few games with legitimate blowout potential. 

These could get ugly.

Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots 

Even Vegas knows this game has beatdown written all over it. The Patriots are 21-point favorites. Have you ever seen that big of a point spread in the NFL? I haven't. 

Dan Orlovsky will make the start for the Colts and he hasn't won a game in his professional career. 

Meanwhile, New England's offense is New England's offense, and their defense has showed vast improvement over the last few games. 

The question is, will Bill Belichick take it easy on his weakened bitter rival in the second half when this game is out of hand? 

St. Louis Rams at San Francisco 49ers 

Frank Gore is one of the best backs in the NFC. The Rams currently have the worst run defense in football, allowing 159 yards per game. 

That's not a good combination for St. Louis. 

The 49ers have had plenty of time to think about their 16-6 defeat at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens last week. Rest assured, they'll be ready for one of the lowest-scoring offenses in football come Sunday.

In addition, San Francisco is at home.

Expect a big day from Gore. 

Dallas Cowboys at Arizona Cardinals 

Is this one of those games the Cowboys should win, but lay an egg? 

It definitely has the looks of it. 

Dallas ultimately should emerge victorious because they are the far superior team on both offense and defense.

Miles Austin likely won't play, but Laurent Robinson has done an admirable job as his replacement and the Cowboys receiving contingent should have a huge afternoon against a weak Cardinals secondary. 

Rob Ryan should be able to conjure up a way to confuse John Skelton, too.
