With three Thanksgiving games, 12 more on Sunday and a potential game of the week on Monday Night Football, it's shaping up to be an eventful Week 13 in the NFL. SB Nation's NFL experts attempted to sort it all out by once again predicting every game.
The majority of Week 13 games have playoff implications and the No. 1 seed in both conferences could change depending on head-to-head outcomes. The 9-2 Broncos will travel to face the 9-2 Chiefs in Kansas City with the AFC West title and potentially the No. 1 seed in the AFC on the line. Denver won the first meeting two weeks ago and five of SB Nation's six NFL experts picked the Broncos to also win the rematch.
Five of the six also expect Seattle to come out on top when the 10-1 Seahawks host the 9-2 Saints on Monday night. The winner of that game will have the inside track to home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Seattle is playing at home, but will be without two of its top three cornerbacks, with Walter Thurmond suspended and Brandon Browner injured and facing a suspension.
