It's been a while since we last spoke to model, actress and former Playboy Playmate Jennifer Walcott, who won SPiN's Hottest Significant Other Tournament more than two years ago. In that time, she has starred in a few movies (American Summer and American Pie Presents Band Camp, according to IMDb.com) and is expecting her first child, with boyfriend Adam Archuleta of the Chicago Bears.
We recruited her to be SPiN's third NFL Expert Picks Guest for Week 13, and based on how the overall SPiN NFL experts and previous two guests (a psychic and a baby) have done this season, I expect Walcott to do as well, if not better than us this week. She is, after all, dating a current NFL player and is probably privy to a lot of insider information.

Walcott: "It's a boy. We're planning on naming him either Adonis, or Adam after his father."
Walcott also said she has widened her portfolio to include pregnancy modeling, which involves wearing fashion and designer clothes for pregnant women. "A lot of people are looking at (pregnancy) differently than a few years ago," she said.
SPiN: Let's get started with the picks. Green Bay at Dallas (-6.5)
Walcott: "Green Bay wins. No, wait. Dallas will win. I forgot T.O. and Romo plays for Dallas. They will dominate Green Bay. It's great they're finally playing with a good team, but Dallas will win. Favre is great and it's good he's back, but based on what I know, Dallas will dominate them, unfortunately."
RESULT: Dallas 37, Green Bay 27
SPiN: Atlanta at St. Louis (-4.5)
Walcott: "Oh no, St. Louis will run the ball and win ugly. Atlanta isn't doing so good. The Rams need a win."
RESULT: St. Louis 28, Atlanta 16
SPiN: Buffalo at Washington (-5.5)
Walcott: "Jason Campbell might redeem himself and Washington will win. Players win with their hearts."
RESULT: Buffalo 17, Washington 16
SPiN: Detroit at Minnesota (-3.5)
Walcott: "I think that Minnesota will dominate Detroit, because I think (the Lions) are a bit overrated. I think Adrian Peterson is pretty good, (the Vikings) played well against Chicago. I don't think Detroit will get their 10 wins this season."
RESULT: Minnesota 42, Detroit 10
SPiN: Houston at Tennessee (-3.5)
Walcott: "I think Vince's team is struggling, so the Texans will win big."
RESULT: Tennessee 28, Houston 20
SPiN: Jacksonville at Indianapolis (-6.5)
Walcott: "I think the Colts will remind everyone they won the Super Bowl, so they'll win against the Jags. I'm not a Colts fan, obviously."
RESULT: Indianapolis 28, Jacksonville 25
SPiN: N.Y. Jets at Miami (-1.0)
Walcott: "Miami will win their first game of the year, but no one will be watching, unfortunately."
RESULT: New York Jets 40, Miami 13
SPiN: San Diego at Kansas City (+4.5)
Walcott: "San Diego has been on a roll, and it'll be close, but San Diego will win."
RESULT: San Diego 24, Kansas City 10
SPiN: Seattle at Philadelphia (-2.5)
Walcott: "The QB controversy will continue. Feely and the Eagles will win."
RESULT: Seattle 28, Philadelphia 24
SPiN: San Francisco at Carolina (-2.5)
Walcott: "Ahh, who cares? (Laughs) But I think San Francisco will win."
RESULT: Carolina 31, San Francisco 14
SPiN: Cleveland at Arizona (-1.5)
Walcott: "I don't know, Cleveland is an up-and-coming team, but I'll go with Arizona because we live there in the offseason."
RESULT: Arizona 27, Cleveland 21
SPiN: Denver at Oakland (+2.5)
Walcott: "I think Oakland is coming along, Denver has potential ... I don't know, I'll pick potential over the Raiders." (Laughs)
RESULT: Oakland 34, Denver 20
SPiN: N.Y. Giants at Chicago (+1.5)
Walcott: "I think Eli will struggle against the Bears."
RESULT: New York Giants 21, Chicago 16

Walcott: "The defense has been struggling lately, but you always hope for those big plays. I can't predict the future."
SPiN: Tampa Bay at New Orleans (-2.5)
Walcott: "I think the Saints will win. I think Garcia will make a lot of mistakes in this game."
RESULT: Tampa Bay 27, New Orleans 23
SPiN: Cincinnati at Pittsburgh (-7.5)
Walcott: "Pittsburgh will win because I said so. Same goes for the Chicago game. The Steelers were my team growing up; it's always in my heart for my dad. My dad didn't have sons, so I watched the Steelers games with him (as a child).
RESULT: Pittsburgh 24, Cincinnati 10
SPiN: Who is your favorite player on the Steelers?
Walcott: "My dad and I really like Troy Polamalu. His hair makes him stick out on the field; (football players) all look alike when they have their helmets on."
SPiN: New England at Baltimore (+20.5)
Walcott: "Yeah, I don't think Baltimore will win anymore this season. New England will win big and it's sad because I'm not a big New England fan. I hope Baltimore's defense will pressure Brady just so I can see him squirm, but I think New England wins."
SPiN: Will the Patriots go 16-0?
Walcott: "I think there's a good chance, but I'll say no. It doesn't matter how good or bad they are, and I know this is a cliché, but anything can happen on any given Sunday."
SPiN: Will the Dolphins go 0-16?
Walcott: "Sometimes, I think people credit teams. And I was always told (by Adam) to never look at teams as if they're the best. Adam says, 'This is the NFL, anything happens.'"
OVERALL: Against the spread, Jennifer Walcott went 6-9 with New England-Baltimore yet to play Monday on MNF.
