Week 13 NFL picks: Patriots vs. Dolphins

The Patriots are the clear favorite among those picking the game, but surprisingly it is not unanimous.

Winslow Townson

The New England Patriots face the Miami Dolphins in Week 13, and a survey of expert picks from around the internet has a surprising result: The Patriots are not the unanimous choice. It was close, but one lone man sees a Miami victory in the cards.

That man is Mike Silver at Yahoo! Sports. Yahoo’s two other pickers and the collected Yahoo! users all see a New England victory, but Silver thinks the Fins have it. It is worth noting that Silver leads Yahoo’s picks competition, though his lead over Jason Cole is a slim one.

ESPN.com has a full slate of writers and former players, and all nine who have submitted a pick took the Patriots. The Accuscore prediction also sees New England taking the win. CBS Sports picks both straight up, where everyone took the Patriots, and against the spread, where two men felt Miami at +7.5 was a safe choice.

Sunday’s meeting is the first of the two games the division rivals will play this season.
