Week 13 was all about bad beats, as anyone who took the Lions, Patriots and Eagles will tell you.
All three of those teams were covering their respective spreads late, but each found a way to see it slip away, failing to cover in excruciating ways, making life miserable for anyone who wagered on them.
Luckily, those bad beats cost NESN.com NFL picks podcasters Mike Cole and Ricky Doyle nothing more than pride, but it still stings a little bit. Even so, they turned in pretty solid weeks last week, and they’re hoping they can bounce back with a little better luck this week.
Here are their picks.

Baltimore (+3) over WASHINGTON
CLEVELAND (-6.5) over Kansas City
