It's Week 13 of the 2011 NFL season, and it's time for teams to really determine their fates.

Take a look at the full slate of games for week 13 including the picks and spreads for all of them.

Pittsburgh vs Kansas City Predictions, Picks & Odds
This is not the Sunday night primetime game that the networks and the league could have been wanting coming into week 12. This Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers will travel to Kansas City to play the Chiefs, one of the darlings of last season, but one of the worst teams in the league today. This certainly has the makings of what could be a very ugly game in week 12 but then again it is the NFL and anything can happen.
The Steelers are tied for 1st in the AFC North by record, but they lost both games

Week 12 NFL: New England vs Philadelphia Predictions, Picks & Odds
At the beginning of the season, many people would have thought that a New England vs. Philadelphia match-up would be a preview for an almost inevitable Super Bowl showdown. Things haven't quite worked out that way coming into week 12. The Patriots are cruising right now but started a bit slowly, and are one of several strong contenders in the AFC. The Eagles of course had an absolutely miserable start to the year and are just barely hanging on to the tiniest hopes of a playoff berth.

Week 12 NFL Picks, Chicago vs Oakland Predictions & Odds
The Chicago Bears visit the Oakland Raiders on Sunday in Week 12, and while it's not one of the biggest games of the weekend, it might be one of the most intriguing. That's because the Bears have been playing excellently, but are now without their starting quarterback. The Raiders meanwhile have been clicking with their new quarterback, and have taken back first place in the AFC West.
When Carson Palmer was traded for by the Raiders, many people were skeptical. Of course, many others were excited,

Week 12 NFL Picks: Miami vs Dallas Predictions, Picks & Odds
On Thanksgiving Day, the Dallas Cowboys will take their usual spotlight with one of the day's big games. Right now, the Cowboys have worked their way back into a tie for first place in the NFC East, and they have an easier road ahead of them. That means they are in a very good position right now as long as they can capitalize on games that they should win.

Monday Night Football: Kansas City vs New England Predictions, Picks & Odds
On Monday night this week, the Kansas City Chiefs will take to the road to meet the New England Patriots. On paper, it's certainly a mismatch, and not the kind of marquee match you might hope for in a primetime slot. But that's why you play the games, because anything could happen in the NFL. Here's a look at what you can expect with the Chiefs vs. Patriots Monday night game in week 11.

NFL Week 11 Picks: Philadelphia vs NY Giants Predictions & Odds
All of the NFC East teams are playing against each other in week 11, and the higher profile of the two match-ups will be Sunday night's primetime game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants. If you were polled in the beginning of the season, you certainly would not have guessed the records that these two clubs would have, and if anything, you might expect them to be opposite to what they are. But here we are, so will the G-Men be able to win at home over their hated, nearby rivals in
Week 11 NFL: San Diego vs Chicago Predictions, Picks & Odds
The Chicago Bears and the San Diego Chargers are moving in very different directions coming into week 11. The Bears have come back from a slow start to work their back into contention, defeating a handful of quality teams along the way. The Chargers have stumbled and shot themselves in the foot, staggering to a losing record after 10 weeks. So in the week 11 match-up between San Diego and Chicago, will the teams continue on their current courses or will there be a change? Here is my week 11 pick or

Boston College vs Notre Dame Predictions, Picks & Odds
Notre Dame has scratched and clawed their way back into the rankings for the week. It's been an up and down year for them in 2011, with very high expectations dashed early on. Things then looked bleak for the club, but since then they have been able to straighten things out and build a bit of momentum. Now, they get to play at home against another opponent they should be able to handle with ease, boosting their record and ranking in the process.

Week 12 CFB: Mississippi State vs Arkansas Predictions, Picks & Odds
Don't look now, but here come the Arkansas Razorbacks. They are rolling right now, and have a 9-1 record and the number 6 ranking in the country. This week, they have an SEC also-ran coming into town in the form of the Mississippi State Bulldogs. It looks to be another occasion for the Razorbacks to dominate, but in the SEC, you never know what might happen, and every week is a legitimate challenge.

College Football Predictions Week 12: Oklahoma vs Baylor
In one of only three games in week 12 between ranked opponents, the Oklahoma Sooners will travel to Baylor to play the Bears. It's a big game for the Sooners, as they are vying to get themselves back into national title contention, but here are a few things regarding the spread and college football predictions for this game. A win here would set them up for a season ending showdown against Oklahoma State, and a shot at the national title may just be up for grabs for the winner of that game depending on
Week 11 NFL Picks: Bills-Dolphins & Titans-Falcons Predictions
In week 11 of the 2011 NFL season, the docket of games looks to be devoid of any major, truly marquee games. Still, there's a lot at stake for clubs battling for playoff positioning and divisional supremacy, and there are some intriguing games which could go in either direction. Here's a look at three games for week 11 that you should get in on the action for against the spread.

The Thursday evening game in the NFL for week 11 features the New York Jets heading to Denver to play the Broncos. These teams are much closer in the standings than the Jets and their fans would like to admit, and this is actually a very important game for each club and their postseason hopes. The Jets will have to win in week 11 to stay competitive in the AFC East, while the Broncos can continue battling for a first place spot in the week AFC West with another victory.

North Carolina vs Virginia Tech Predictions, Picks & Odds
Virginia Tech is back on Thursday night this week, and the Hokies are also back in the top 10. With five wins in a row and an overall 9-1 record, the team has fought their way back into contention for a potential BCS berth. The conference championship game seems locked up, and once there, they are likely to get a rematch against the only team that beat them this year, Clemson.

Pittsburgh vs Cincinnati Predictions, Picks & Odds
Usually when the words "AFC North" and "first place showdown" are used together, it's in reference to a game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. That's half true in this case, but the other half of the equation is the team tied for first right now with a 6-2 record, the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are riding high right now even though nobody seems to believe in them, and they're looking to get some respect this weekend as they host the Steelers.

Week 10 NFL: Detroit vs Chicago Predictions, Picks & Odds
Week 10 of the NFL season is loaded up with great divisional games, and the NFC North showcases one of those with the Detroit Lions visiting the Chicago Bears. The Lions have been a big surprise to many this year, and set at 6-2 on the year, and will be coming off their bye week. Meanwhile, the Bears are 5-3 and are coming in with a three game winning streak, and will get to play the host here in week 10. So which of these clubs will win and move into better position in the Wild Card race?

Oregon vs Stanford Predictions, Picks & Odds
Last week the game of the season/century/lifetime took place between numbers 1 and 2, LSU and Alabama, but this weekend college football fans will be treated to another huge showdown between top ranked conference rivals. It's number 3 Stanford playing host to number 6 Oregon, with a trip to the inaugural PAC-12 conference championship game and perhaps the BCS national championship game at stake. This game doesn't have all the crazy hype and buzz that last week's did, but it should be a great one, and it
Auburn vs Georgia Predictions, Picks & Odds
What a long strange trip it has been for the Auburn Tigers and the Georgia Bulldogs this season. Both teams have defied expectations in different ways, at different times, at times coming up short when big things were expected, and at times rising higher than ever when little was thought of their chances. Now they face one another as Georgia battles for a berth into the SEC title game, and Auburn looks to make up ground in the loaded SEC West.

Week 10 NFL Picks & Predictions
The 2011 NFL season and its playoff races are beginning to clear up a little bit after week 9. However, there's still a long ways to go, a lot of big games to play, and lots of intrigue still in the air. Week 10 showcases a whole cast of intriguing divisional games. All of them have huge implications for the division races, the Wild Card and more.

Week 11 College Football Picks: Georgia, Stanford & Penn State
Last weekend, it seemed like the entire sporting world was focused on just one game, the LSU vs. Alabama match-up. This weekend though, college football fans won't be left in the dark.

Virginia Tech vs Georgia Tech Predictions, Picks & Odds
The primetime Thursday night game for the week is a very good one, featuring ACC rivals Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech. The winner of the game, particularly if it's the Hokies, will be almost assured of an ACC conference championship game berth out of the Coastal division. The loser will be the odd man out. The Hokies have to go on the road to face the Yellow Jackets though, and it should be a raucous crowd geared up for the biggest game of the season.

Week 10 NFL: Oakland vs San Diego Predictions, Picks & Odds
The NFL's late season cast of Thursday night games on the NFL Network begins in week 10, with the Oakland Raiders traveling to San Diego to play the Chargers. Yet again this season, the AFC West is one of the worst divisions in football, but yet again, that has created a tight race and these games are therefore very important. After week 9, both of these clubs are 4-4, and they are in a three-way tie for first in the division with the Kansas City Chiefs, with the Denver Broncos just one game back as

As we enter week 10 in the 2011 NFL season, there are plenty of injuries spread across the league. You can't play this much football and not have your team banged up a bit.

Penn State: Why Joe Paterno Should Be Fired Now
The news continue to get worse and worse out of Penn State. It's a terrible, tragic scandal that has affected the lives of innocent children and their families in awful ways. The end result of this has to be one thing and one thing only, and that is Joe Paterno being released from his long tenure immediately. It might not be a graceful exit, but it's the only one that makes sense at this point.

MNF: Chicago vs Philadelphia Predictions, Picks & Odds
The match-up between the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles in week 9 carries major implications for both squads. Each team, an expected NFC playoff contender, dug a hole for itself in the beginning of the year and has been trying to climb out of it, and each has several teams to compete with in their own divisions. Therefore, every game is of the utmost importance, particularly when facing another potential Wild Card team.

Week 9 NFL: Baltimore vs Pittsburgh Predictions, Picks & Odds
The most eagerly anticipated game in week 9 for the NFL will be the Baltimore Ravens playing the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's one of the best, and fiercest, rivalries in the league, and these two teams are always in competition with one another for divisional and conference supremacy. They're coming into the game with different positions as of late, and the AFC North is packed tight not just between the two of them, but also with the Cincinnati Bengals in the mix as well.

It's finally here, the game that everyone has been waiting for. It's LSU vs. Alabama. Number 1 versus number 2. SEC football at its finest, it's not just the game of the weekend, it's certainly the game of the season, and don't let hyperbole stop there... this could be the game of the decade. Everyone's attention will be focused on this match-up this weekend, no offense to the other games and teams, and the winner here will be the presumed favorite to win the national championship at the end of the
Kansas State vs Oklahoma State Predictions, Picks & Odds
One of the best match-ups of the college football weekend comes from the Big 12, as surprising Kansas State looks to rebound after their first loss of the year, and make a run at the still undefeated Oklahoma State Cowboys. Oklahoma State is sitting pretty at number 3 in the country right now, and if they win out, they'll control their own destiny and make it all the way to the national title game. So there's a lot at stake, and this should be a fun one between two teams who play very different styles of

College Football Week 10: Texas A&M vs Oklahoma Picks, Predictions & Odds
The Oklahoma Sooners are the number 7 team in the country, sporting a 7-1 record as they play host to the Texas A&M Aggies in Week 10. For most teams, that's a very good position to be in. However, that's not where the Sooners wanted to be, not after starting the season as the number 1 team in the country and putting together a 6-0 record as they seemed hell bent on getting to the national title game. Their plans got badly upended two weekends ago, but they can still come back to win the Big 12 and
Week 9 NFL: NY Giants vs New England Predictions, Picks & Odds
One of the most intriguing games of week 9 of the 2011 NFL season will see the New York Giants visit the New England Patriots. These teams are forever linked after their Super Bowl game a few seasons ago, where the juggernaut, undefeated Patriots were upset by the Giants, thanks to a fierce pass rush, and a certain against the helmet, one-handed miracle catch. Now, both teams are ahead of the pack in their divisions and will be looking to make a statement to the rest of the league here.

Florida State vs Boston College Predictions, Picks & Odds
On Thursday evening, the Florida State Seminoles will travel to Boston and play the BC Eagles. It's been a lost season for Boston College, but in many ways it's been even more disappointing for the Seminoles. Nonetheless, they are certainly the big favorite for this game and are expected to handle the Eagles, and keep on battling to try to work their way back into contention for the ACC title. It won't be an easy road, but it's theoretically possible if they keep on winning and get some help along the
