Week 14 of the 2020 NFL schedule comes rolling in after NFC East "Statement Weekend." Who knew? The Giants and Redskins stayed tied atop the division when both won huge games on the road against probable playoff teams. We'll see if they can keep it going on Sunday, when New York plays host to Arizona and Washington travels to Arizona to play San Francisco.

Other matchups with playoff implications include Minnesota-Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh-Buffalo, Indianapolis-Las Vegas and Baltimore-Cleveland on Monday night.

In addition to asking our experts for the biggest potential upsets, fantasy football flops and sleepers, we inquired about a Defensive Player of the Year and what will happen with Sam Darnold come 2021.

What's your top upset pick for Week 13?

Matt Bowen, NFL analyst: Giants (+2.5) over Cardinals. This is about the Giants' defense. Look for New York to force Kyler Murray to throw from the pocket -- with interior stunts that don't allow him to step up. By doing that, New York can limit Murray's ability to break contain and play disciplined zone coverage in the secondary. Right now, that's the book on Murray.

Jason Reid, The Undefeated senior NFL writer: Giants (+2.5) over Cardinals. Even with backup QB Colt McCoy in for injured starter Daniel Jones, the Giants are getting it done. Winners of four in a row, they're relying on a defense that's covering lights-out these days. The Cardinals have dropped three straight and four of five. Don't be surprised if Cardinals QB Kyler Murray's frustrating experience continues against the Giants.
