3 Bold NFL Predictions for Week 13

Brett Hundley Will Be a Top-10 Quarterback

Why This Is Bold: Brett Hundley has more turnovers than touchdowns this season. He's been inconsistent in his few games as the starting quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, as evidenced by how he's finished at quarterback in his five games as starter (QB19, QB13, QB21, QB27, and QB8).

Why This Will Happen: This season has been Hundley's first extended run as a starting quarterback in the NFL. He has been progressing as he gets more actual game experience, and actually played remarkably well against the Pittsburgh Steelers -- who have one of the better pass defenses in the NFL -- by compiling the first multi-score game of his career.

After a two-week stretch of playing formidable defenses, Hundley and the Packers get a softer Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense this week. Tampa has struggled against the pass this season and they currently rank 30th in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play.

Hundley has developed a strong rapport with Davante Adams, who has continued to play extremely well this season. His pass catchers remain among the best in the league, and Hundley has a nice matchup for the first time in weeks. He is in play as a streaming option.
