Low & Slow Brisket Question

I am cooking a 13lb whole brisket using the l&S method. Being that I have done my last few using high heat, I forgot how long the brisket should take. I read in one of the VWS articles that it should take 1.5 hours per pound. I never remembered it taking that long. I was guessing about an hour per pound. I am aiming for a 5pm dinner tomorrow. Should I go by 1 hr or 1.5? Any thoughts?
 
An hour a pound is usually enough time if cooking around 235, but give enough time to allow for up to a six hour rest and you'll be good, no matter how long it takes. Folks recommend at least a two hour rest in foil anyway... but don't cook too long or it will be falling apart after a long time in the foil.
