N.F.L. Picks Week 13: Eagles Look to Lock Up a Division Title
By BENJAMIN HOFFMANNOV. 30, 2017

Clinching an N.F.L. playoff berth in Week 13 is one thing, but the Philadelphia Eagles have a good chance of clinching a division title. A win or a tie against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night will seal the team’s first National Football Conference East crown since 2013.

Elsewhere, the New Orleans Saints and the Carolina Panthers will battle for superiority in the N.F.C. South, the Los Angeles Rams will try to maintain their slim lead in the N.F.C. West, and the New England Patriots will look to snuff out the Buffalo Bills’ playoff hopes.

Here are our picks against the spread.

Giants at Raiders, 4:25 p.m., Fox

Line: Raiders by 7.5

On Tuesday, the Giants (2-9, 0 percent) benched Eli Manning for Geno Smith. On Wednesday, they announced that Janoris Jenkins, the team’s top cornerback, had joined Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall and 15 other players on injured reserve, a result of an ankle injury he sustained on Thanksgiving. It remains to be seen if any more dominoes fall before their road matchup with the Raiders (5-6, 14 percent). The good news is the team has no chance of finishing with the fewest wins in franchise history, since the 1966 team was 1-12-1, but the possibility remains that it could produce the second worst record in the team’s 93 seasons. Pick: Raiders
