PicksNFL WEEK 13 PICKS: DOLPHINS-49ERS, RETURN OF DESHAUN WATSON,3 UPSETS AND ALL THE REST: Went 10-6 outright but a hard-hit 5-10-1 against the spread last week, ending as run of six straight weeks at even or better ATS. This week we take on  Dolphins at 49ers, a handful of other Game of the Week-caliber matchups, the dubious return of Deshaun Watson, three upsets and all the rest. Visit NFL Week 13 Gems for all our latest picks. Got off to a bad start Thursday night -- one we'd like back. Unwisely  rolled dice for a Patriots home-dog upset, but Bills won and covered. Find that pick separately here
