Week 12 NFL Picks

My Week 12 Picks. Be on the lookout for an article on fighting in the NHL soon to come.

(Home team in CAPS)

Thanksgiving Games

Green Bay over DETROIT

DALLAS over Oakland

Giants over DENVER

The rest...

HOTLANTA over Tampa
Not sure anyone saw such a up-and-down year for Matt Ryan and the Falcons but they are not looking good to make the postseason. A win over Tampa will at least ease the suffering.

Miami over BUFFA...
Snooze, Yawn. Woah, excuse me - I didn't realize that I dozed off while typing that one.

CINCI over Cleveland
Still don't believe in Cinci, just too many field goals. I'll give their defense some credit though.

Seattle over ST LOUIS
Another "Worst Game of the Decade" nominee.

Carolina over NY JETS
The Jets are falling, the Panthers are rising. Simple as that.

EAGLES over Washington
After consecutive wins over the Bears and the Redskins, 610 and 950 will finally have callers with confidence, false confidence mind you. These two wins only count in the win column as far as I am concerned. They do nothing to make me feel better about the Eagles. Did anyone else realize that if Jay Cutler had connected with 2 of those 5 home run balls he missed last Sunday night that the game wouldn't have been close? His receivers were WIDE open.

Indy over Houston
I guess this is fun since the exact same matchup went on 3 weeks ago, and a good one at that. Can't imagine Indy not having figured out the Texans after playing them once and barely escaping with a win.

SAN DIEGO over kc
Other than the unbeatens, the Chargers are the hottest team in the NFL. Don't hold your breath on LT because he's having his best stretch of games in more than a year.

Jacksonville over SAN FRAN
The 'Niners are crumbling and it's happening fast. After a promising start, they showed that they are not f'real.

MINNESOTA over Chicago
I'd look for a closer game than anticipated. I know Jay Cutler is currently the worst QB in the NFL, but I'm a big believer of breaking out of slumps at the wrong time. Cutler is due for a good one at some point.

Arizona over Tennessee
This is where Vince Young's perfect record must come to an end, as will the Titans' slim playoff hopes.

Pittsburgh over BALTIMORE
I'm sure I will have jinxed this one. Away, no Big Ben, no Troy Polamalu - it all adds up to a definite loss at Baltimore right? No. I'll take the defending champs tonight. The Ravens have proved to be a lot softer than we all thought and if there is any NFL team that defines the word "team," it has to be the Steelers.

New England over NAAAAHHHLLINS
It's time. Poetic justice right? The last perfect team upsets the weaker of the two current unbeatens. The Saints have just been playing too flukey to keep this one going.

Season: 103-54

**Check out the new Poll!**

Keep an eye out for that fighting post, should be up by either late today or sometime tomorrow.
