Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the Houston Texans-Green Bay Packers Week 13 game, with the line from OddsShark.

Houston Texans at (-6.5) Green Bay Packers, Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
Mike: Packers. I liked the Packers’ matchup last week, and I like it even more this week. Green Bay’s defense showed signs of life against a mediocre Eagles offense on Monday, and they should have similar success against Brock Osweiler and Co. Oh, and Aaron Rodgers’ passer rating over the last six games? 104.1.
Andre: Packers. Green Bay’s pass rush is underrated. It ranks fifth in the NFL in sack percentage, and Osweiler under pressure isn’t a recipe for success. Side note: Where the heck is DeAndre Hopkins? He has zero touchdowns in his last six games.
Ricky: Packers. If the Packers can bottle up Lamar Miller and make Houston’s offense one-dimensional, they shouldn’t have a problem covering at home with Rodgers playing the way he is right now.
