Week 13 is here

I'm still filling up on turkey and James Bond movies, but I've seen enough of Brian Westbrook for this season.

Westbrook's four-touchdown day might just end my bid for the playoffs in one league and make it a short playoff trip in another.

Here are my thoughts for the rest of the week:

I'll start with the Steelers since that's the game I'm most interested in. Bench Big Ben, I don't think he'll do much against the Patriots. I like Matt Cassel in this one. I don't think he'll go for 400 yards, but 280 and 3 TDs is within reach. ... Brandon Marshall is due for a TD this week against the Jets. ...Kyle Orton should have a better day this week, even if the matchup is the Vikings. ... I can't say the same thing for Matt Forte. I've been counting on him the past four weeks and expect him to come up small this week. ... It looks like Darren McFadden is back. The matchup against KC says "start him." ... Michael Turner has struggled a bit on the road. Don't expect a huge game against SD. ... If Reggie Bush plays, don't expect much against the Bucs. ... I'd pick up Domenik Hixon if I needed a WR. He'll see some time with Plaxico Burress on the self-inflected wounded list. ... I like Anthony Gonzalez more and more with every passing week. ... Marshawn Lynch has a good-looking matchup against the 49ers. ... If you need to pick a Steelers running back, go with Mewelde Moore. ... Antonio Bryant will have a better game this week. ... Keep riding Ronnie "Wildcat" Brown.

Good luck this week.
