CBS Sports illustration (Keytron Jordan) Nothing steers NFL teams quite like quarterbacks. It's possible, not probable, to win in spite of them. It's preferable, not easy, to land the best of them. They are, more than anyone else, the ones who shape the football landscape, week in and week out. That's why we're ranking all 32 starting signal-callers throughout the 2022 season: to take stock of the most important players in the game, sorting everyone from the bona fide superstars to the QBs who might be worth replacing. While these rankings don't necessarily reflect which QBs we'd rather have for the remainder of the year (or their career) -- for example, we still trust Tom Brady over, say, Geno Smith -- they are designed to showcase which ones are performing and positioned best at this moment. Now, without further ado, our Week 13 pecking order: Week 13 QB Power Rankings 1 Patrick Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs QB He is playing some … [Read more...] about 2022 NFL Week 13 QB Power Rankings: Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes up top; Kirk Cousins, Mac Jones on the rise

USATSI It was good to be home for the holidays. As the NFL celebrated the Thanksgiving weekend in Week 12, home teams went 12-4 ATS, which was the best they've performed all year. In our little gambling corner, we were hot on a number of those covers, including Minnesota, Miami, and New York ( Jets ). However, the Giants gave us a bad beat as they scored a late touchdown to cover over the Cowboys , who were inside our five locks of the week. As we turn our attention to Week 13, we have zeroed in on a number of key matchups on the slate.

Getty Images The trifecta almost came through last week. I went 11-5 straight up, 3-2-1 with my best bets as part of the Pick Six Podcast, but went 8-8 with my CBSSports.com expert picks. Why couldn't the Packers score late to get the cover, rather than kicking that field goal? As it is, it was another solid week. The 3-2-1 raises my best-bet record to a sizzling 40-27-3. That I will take. My ATS record overall is now 82-90-8 and my straight-up record is 106-74-0. We are into December games now, which means it's crunch time down the stretch. It also means it's time for the contenders to really emerge on the field and picking games. There are six weeks left. Let's close with a big-time rush.
