2 small briskets

hi. I am pretty new to the egg! Just got it in May. I have been loving every minute of it. This weekend I want to cook my first brisket but the biggest one my local BJs had was 6.5 pounds, so I bought 2 of them and will cook them both at the same time. I know that's not the best and it would have been better to have one large one but this will have to do. My question is , do I plan on this cook to be like I am cooking for a 13 pounder or like a 6.5 pounder even though there will be 2 cooking? This seems like a ridiculous question but I don't want to mess it up. We are planning on eating it on Sunday late afternoon. 
Thank you!

    Like a 6.5 pounder. Should take 6-9 hours I suppose. You can start early and foil and cooler if it finishes early. I would rather it finish early than late.

    I'm guessing they are flats??  If so, then give the search function here a look at some prior posts of cooking brisket flats.  Seems they turnout best if foiled with some liquid once into or thru the stall.  FWIW-
