Welcome to Week 13 of the 2010 edition of The Hoser's NFL Picks, where we're drifting back to Earth a little.

We were 7-8 against the spread and 11-4 straight up last week. If that looks a little strange, it's because at the time we put up our picks, there was no line on the Oakland/Miami game, and we never came back to correct that. So, yeah. We did have Chicago as our Lock of the Week (and even picked them straight up) over the Eagles. No kidding -- there was a dog barking outside The Hoser's office most of that night.

Awesome.

The rest of the picks will go up on Saturday -- this is just the Thursday Night Teaser. See you then!

Houston (+8) at PHILADELPHIA (52): It takes a mighty defense like Chicago to slow Michael Vick. The Texans are close -- they have a mighty shitty defense. Eagles 30, Texans 20.
