NFL Week 13 Tips and Predictions
Lorenzo is currently in full swing with his NFL picks and he’s back with his three locks for Week 13 games.
Get ready to “DUUUVAL” Monday Night Football as the Jacksonville Jaguars (8-3) host the Cincinnati Bengals (5-6) to close out Week 13.
In the first game without Joe Burrow, Cincinnati’s offense struggled against a stout Pittsburgh Steelers defense as the defense was shredded in a 16-10 loss. The Bengals have now lost three straight, and without their franchise quarterback for the rest of the season, playoff hopes are fading for a team that had hopes of returning to the Super Bowl.
Jacksonville still holds the lead in the AFC South division after the Jaguars avenged their early-season loss to the Houston Texans with a narrow road win. Trevor Lawrence was outstanding and the defense did just enough to stop CJ Stroud, and now Jacksonville is looking for a chance to clinch the AFC’s No. 1 seed.

Lorenzo Reyes: Jaguars 23, Bengals 17
Jacksonville should win this game. It has the better defense and a clear advantage at quarterback. The problem is that the Jaguars stumble in high-leverage situations, overthink key play calls and make questionable decisions within the two-minute drill. This line is a bit too rich for me.
Tyler Dragon: Jaguars 27, Bengals 17
As expected, life without Joe Burrow didn’t go well for the Bengals. Cincinnati’s losing streak continues this week. The Jaguars are in the race for first place in the AFC. Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun is in the top five in the NFL in tackles and edge rusher Josh Allen is in the top five in the league in sacks.
Safid Deen: Jaguars 27, Bengals 13
Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars have an 8-3 record and a big win over the Texans last week. Without Joe Burrow, they should have no trouble facing the Bengals.
Victoria Hernandez: Jaguars 27, Bengals 17
The Bengals are not the same team without Joe Burrow and have lost three games in a row. The Jaguars have impressed with seven wins in eight games. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence continues to utilize the tools at his disposal. They should have no problem excelling in this matchup.
Jordan Mendoza: Jaguars 30, Bengals 17
Jacksonville has made a habit of beating bad teams by a wide margin and playing a Bengals team without Joe Burrow, giving them another chance at a big win. In a prime-time home game, the Jaguars pull out a win, with the defense making life difficult for Jake Browning and earning a two-point win.
