Without further to do, here we go:

Week 13 Games

Ha Kung’s Picks

Ha Kung’s Thoughts:

Last year I ended up with a 64.7% record for the season, so that’s seven years in a row with over a 60% pick rate. Plus, I had a 75.5% record on Locks of the Week and a 58% record on Upsets of the Week. I had an OK week going 9-7 in Week 12, with a total of 112-67 for the season (62.6%), 8-4 for Locks of Week, and 6-6 for Upsets of the Week. Don’t worry, I don’t plan on stopping now!

Let’s get to that Lock (for Survivor Leagues) and Upset for Week 13…

Lock of the Week ➡ Cleveland Browns (-7.0) over Houston Texans

The Texans are a complete and utter mess right now, and their one offensive weapon, Dameon Pearce, can’t help them. Kyle Allen did nothing to spark the offense and I don’t see that changing this week against the Browns who just came off a big OT win and get Deshaun Watson on the field for his first regular season game. Don’t over think it. Lock it in.

Upset of the Week ➡ Miami Dolphins (+4.0) over the San Francisco 49ers

I get it, the 49ers are pretty stacked on offense and defense and seem like a really balanced team. But Jimmy G is essentially a game manager, Eli Mitchell is out with an injury, and both Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey are not 100%. The Dolphins are rolling right now with Tua, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and Jeff Wilson has been the perfect ground complement. I like Miami to pull the upset here.
