The Atlanta Falcons may be losing games, but the Blogging Dirty staff are back at it with their Week 13 picks.

It’s tough to pick games in the NFL, particularly in the NFC South it seems. The writers had a mixed bag last week, with a variety of different opinions generally meeting in the middle at 2-2. You have to give them credit, despite the Atlanta Falcons’ struggles, many are keeping the faith for them to turn it around.

There are just two games inside the NFC South this week, with two divisional contests. The Falcons travel to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in hope to snap their four-game losing streak. Both teams are still vying for a playoff berth.

The other is a game between the struggling New Orleans Saints and undefeated Carolina Panthers. Can the Saints give the Panthers their first defeat? If not, the Panthers will wrap up the division crown with a perfect 12-0 record. Let’s see what the writers think.

Standings:
Curtis Hobbs (26-13)
Aloïs Piet (25-14)
Adnan Ikic (23-16)
Eric Robinson (22-17)
Kevin Knight (21-18)
Alphonso Thomas (16-23)
