Viewer’s Guide: NFL Week 13 TV Schedule and Announcer Assignments

The highlight of the NFL Week 13 TV schedule is pretty obvious at first glance: the primetime games. Baltimore and Pittsburgh renew their bloodbath of a rivalry on Sunday, and then the Jets travel to New England to battle the Patriots on Monday Night Football.

If you are not excited for those two games – independent of rooting interest, betting interest, or fantasy football interest – then I would say you aren’t really a fan of the NFL. You may be a fan of a team or of certain aspects of the league, but if you can’t get excited to watch these games then you must not have a pure love of the sport and the league.

But those aren’t the only games happening this week. There are some other key battles too. Plan your NFL viewing Sunday with the viewer’s guide below.

NFL Week 13 Picks, Point Spreads, TV Schedule, and Announcers

Update: The NFL Week 17 TV schedule, point spreads, and picks post is up.

——————–

As you know if you’ve been following these posts, I’ve been on a hot streak lately after having a couple of down weeks. a 22-9 record over the last two weeks put the .500 mark well in my rearview mirror.

Week 12 has been solid so far (posting this before SNF game starts), picking eight of the 14 games right with the Baltimore-Pittsburgh and Patriots-Saints games still to go.

Update: I went 1-1 in the PrimeTime games, finishing 9-7 for the week. Cumulative record is now 97-71.

As we look ahead to Week 13, a couple of key games jump out at me right off the bat.

First, surging Tennessee travels to Indianapolis to take on the 11-0 Colts. This should be a fascinating game between two QBs who are playing superbly right now, but whose styles could not be more different.

Second, the Giants and the Cowboys clash in what is essentially an elimination game for New York. Should Dallas win, the Giants’ playoff hopes are basically dashed. However, Eli and Co. can reassert themselves with a win, as they would then be one game back of Dallas and hold the tiebreaker.

Let’s go game-by-game and look at the the TV info, spreads, and picks for each.
