Your math is faulty. At 187 points per week, you'd need to rent for 6.4 weeks to get a free weekend day, not 13 weeks.

FYI, for Hertz, it's only 550 points for a free weekend day, but if there's a period of high demand, that doubles to 1100 points, so you're not necessarily better off than with Avis.
