NFL Week 13 Predictions: Matt Moore and Shocking QBs Sure to Have Great Games

Week 13 of the NFL season will prove to have some shocking performances. One in particular will be the stellar play of Miami Dolphins quarterback, Matt Moore over the Oakland Raiders. 

Miami Dolphins Matt Moore

Coming into this game, Moore has had three excellent games out of his last four. In those four games, Moore has seven touchdowns to only one interception. He’s also thrown for 901 yards, good enough for an average of 225 yards per game.  

He’s been a fantasy all-star with these numbers, and will have his best game this week against the Raiders.  

This Raiders team is coming into this game against Miami with the 20th ranked passing defense. They are giving up 239 yards per game and have seen 20 touchdown passes thrown against them. 

The Dolphins will throw the ball against this Raiders team, and will see a lot of success in doing so. Pick up Moore from your waiver wires and place him into your starting lineup if you need someone. 

Denver Broncos Tim Tebow 

You know the drill with Tebow. He’s going to throw the ball 15-20 times, complete eight to 10 of those passes for 130-160 yards. He may throw a touchdown pass, but he will not throw an interception.  

You also know that Tebow gains a majority of his fantasy points from rushing the ball. He will finish a game with 60-75 rushing yards, with a touchdown in a given week.  

This week against the Minnesota Vikings, Tebow will have his best passing game of the year. The Vikings are giving up the most passing touchdowns in the NFL and have the 29th ranked passing defense.  

Tebow will go off in this game for 220 passing yards, while completing 15 passes on 30 attempts with two touchdowns. Now, this wouldn’t look like a huge game from a quarterback, however, Tebow will have another 55 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. 

Carolina Panthers Cam Newton 

Newton has hit a wall in the last four weeks. Over his last four games, Newton has four touchdowns with five interceptions. With three of those four touchdowns all coming in one game, and four of those five interceptions in one game.  

Newton plays against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, who are giving up the 27th most touchdown passes in the NFL with 19. Along with those 19 touchdown passes, the Buccaneers are giving up 13 rushing touchdowns.  

Against this terrible Buccaneers defense, Newton will get back to his original form of 300 passing yards two touchdowns with 60 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. 

These three quarterbacks may not be on your radar as people to start this week. However, all three of them will be at the top of the fantasy leaders when this week is over.
