BLTD Pick 'Em Week 13

As we march ever closer to the National Football League playoffs, things get much more heated in the Fanduel BLTD Pick ‘Em.
When Week 12’s games rolled over into Week 13, the standings resembled a jumbled mess.
Right now, we have a new leader in the clubhouse.
With a 13-2 Week 12 effort, Perez overtook John as the Pick ‘Em leader. Ryan also went 13-2, pulling himself into 2nd place.
Here are the updated standings:
Perez: 77-38
Ryan: 76-39 (1 GB)
John: 75-40 (2 GB)
All three guys were unanimous in selecting the following teams to win this week: Detroit, Dallas, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Minnesota, NY Giants, Indianapolis, Houston, Arizona, Denver, and Miami.
Now, for the picks in question:
Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 49ers
John and Ryan selected the Seattle Seahawks. Perez selected the San Francisco 49ers.
“I picked the 49ers because the last time Seattle won in San Francisco, Russell Wilson was a red shirt freshman at N.C. State,” Perez said. “The last few meetings between the two teams in San Francisco has been exciting, but the Niners always find a way to win. I think this game will be more of the same. Fun game, and the Niners find a way to keep the streak alive at home, against the Seahawks.”
Cleveland Browns vs. Buffalo Bills
Perez and Ryan selected the Buffalo Bills. John selected the Cleveland Browns.
“Cleveland has proven to be a resilient team,” John tells GERENetwork.com. “Brian Hoyer is working some magic in a contract year, leading numerous 4th quarter comeback wins. The Bills’ defense may give the Brownies some trouble but I do not think the Bills’ offense replicates the offense that showed up on Detroit to play the Jets.
New Orleans Saints vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Perez and Ryan selected the Pittsburgh Steelers. John selected the New Orleans Saints.
“While the Steelers can be strong at times, they did lose to the Jets,” John said. “I’ll take a 4-7 Drew Brees over a 2-9 Jets team, to do more magic and expose the aging Steelers defense.”
San Diego Chargers vs. Baltimore Ravens
Perez and Ryan selected the Baltimore Ravens. John selected the San Diego Chargers.
“San Diego is in win-or-die mode,” says John. “They are hitting the final stretch of their season, which will be the toughest. This Ravens game is the most winnable of the forthcoming, despite Baltimore’s win streak. Philip Rivers does deliver when it counts in the regular season and right now, he needs to deliver.”
New England Patriots vs. Green Bay Packers
John and Perez selected the Green Bay Packers. Ryan selected the New England Patriots.
“As much as it pains me to make this pick, it was a no-brainer,” said Ryan. “The New England Patriots have been on an absolute tear. They have won 7 straight, while outscoring opponents 277-137. I expect the game to be a high scoring one, but seems to me that this’ll end up like the Broncos game earlier this year. Things will be tight, then New England will just take over and walk away.”
