NFL Week 13 Picks by Cooper the Analyst and Cup of Joe in the D

     The 2021 NFL Football Season has been very exciting in the first 12 weeks!  Many great endings and late game heroics. Teams are starting to distance themselves from the Pack..  Week 13 kicks off with the Dallas Cowboys visiting the Saints in New Orleans. Both teams are struggling as of late.

    The NFL has a Major PR Nightmare once again! Bucs WR is involved in controversy as it relates His Covid vaccine card! TB claimed early on the entire team was 100% vaccinated but now a report has come out saying His isn't and bought a fake card which is a Federal offense. The team still is standing by him but He is now out for the game another game today with an ankle injury... The NFL on Friday suspended AB for 3 games. Will this be the end of Brown in Tampa Bay?

    Injuries have once again become a huge issue with top players going down with significant injuries and missing significant time! Another season with devastating injuries and concussions. Also way to many missed calls and ticky tack penalties being called and so many reviews. The amount of time it takes to review a call is just crazy!! The NFL has made it almost impossible to play defense anymore!!!
