All of the Week 13 NFL picks.

The National Football League has entered the December portion of its schedule, which means all of the games are heightened in intensity. Of course, the playoff pictures for both the AFC and NFC are coming into focus, although there is still plenty to be settled in both conferences.

One of the most surprising teams in the league is the Minnesota Vikings, who are leading the NFC North with an 8-3 record. Still, many are overlooking them, believing their still a wild card team at best. At this point, it might be time to think again about the talents on Minnesota, especially on the offense. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has done his best Alex Smith impression, showing that he can manage a game. In the meantime, running back Adrian Peterson has been a stud, going for another 1,000-yard season.
