2021 NFL Week 12 Predictions

 2021 NFL Week 12 Predictions

 

Bears -3 over Lions, 22-14

-This is a terrible football game and we will all still watch it in its entirety. 

 

Cowboys -7.5 over Raiders, 30-17

-Who really knows? But, the Raider’s problems seem systematic and likely aren’t going to change. The Cowboys seem to have injury issues that they will get over. 

 

Bills -6 over Saints, 31-12

-This poor, fractured Saints offense.

 

Falcons -2 over Jags, 17-13

-Any time you can take a 4 win team on the road...in Week 12....that has only scored 3 points in 8 quarters....and you STILL have to lay 2 points with them. You gotta do that, right?

 

Texans -2.5 over Jets, 20-13

-See, you messed up, Houston. Tyrod might be just competent enough to win a few here. Go see the Chargers medical staff. They know what to do. 

 

Pats -6 over Titans, 27-13

-Titans are just leaking Oil on offense. 

 

Eagles -3.5 over Giants, 26-16

-Eagles have found something here. They are going to run the hell out of this game. 

 

Bengals -4.5 over Steelers, 27-10

-I know the Bengals have been up and down, but we have seen how they match up with the Steelers already this season. No reason to think it’s going to go any different. 

 

Bucs -3 over Colts, 31-23

-I think the Bucs are back and are maybe the team best designed to stop Indy’s running game. 

 

Panthers -2 over Dolphins, 19-14

-I have no idea what to make of Miami, but Carolina at least has heart. And CMC...that helps, too. 

 

Chargers -2 over Broncos, 30-22

-Grab this before it goes to 3. These are both good teams, but it’s the case of one team with a higher ceiling offensively than the other. 

 

Vikings +3 over 49ers, 31-23

-The advanced stats all love the Vikings this year. And since San Francisco can seemingly only win versus really bad teams...I’m leaning towards the far more explosive Vikings. 

 

Packers +1 over Rams, 32-28

-I know the Rams are rested and the Packers are dealing with a handful of injuries. However, this is still an LA dome team coming to Lambeau at the end of November versus the Packers defense that has quietly been very tough and very consistent. 

 

Ravens -3.5 over Browns, 24-20

-I guess. I can’t believe I have to watch this SNF game. 

 

WFT -1 over Seahawks, 20-17

-Somehow I like this even less than the Baltimore/Cleveland game. What an ugly night game set.

2021 NFL Week 11 Predictions

 2021 NFL Week 11 Predictions

 

49ers -6.5 over Jags, 24-10

-49ers are still in it, Jags aren’t. 

 

Panthers -3.5 over WFT, 21-13

-All Cam and Washington had their big win last week. 

 

Packers -1 over Vikings, 34-24

-Packers just giving away free money. 

 

Browns -12 over Lions, 27-6

-Really the Browns shouldn’t be giving 12 to anyone, but Tim Boyle is involved. 

 

Bills -7 over Colts, 31-22

-This should be a tough physical game, but I just can’t see the Colts efficiently putting up the 30+ that would be needed to win. 

 

Eagles -2.5 over Saints, 20-16

-I really like this Saints team still, but without Kamara, there’s just not much here offensively. 

 

Dolphins -3 over Jets, 16-12

-I guess?

 

Ravens -6 over Bears, 26-19

-Bears losing Mack hurts. 

 

Titans -10 over Texans, 31-6

-This might be ugly. 

 

Bengals -1 over Raiders, 31-27

-Hopefully, this is the re-breakout game for a lot of offensive players. 

 

Cowboys +3 over Chiefs, 31-30

-I felt way better about this before Amari got COVID, but still think the Cowboys can play ball control and are a more well-rounded team than the Chiefs. 

 

Cards -2 over Seahawks, 33-23

-This assumes Russell will play well. He very well may not. 

 

Chargers -6 over Steelers, 31-13

-Chargers have been in a rut, but they get right in this game. Half the Steelers defense is out and Ben may still have COVID. 

 

Bucs -11 over Giants, 33-20

-Brady is not going to lose 3 in a row.

2021 NFL Week 10 Predictions

 2021 NFL Week 10 Predictions

 

Ravens -8.5 over Dolphins, 27-10

-Ravens are just better and the Dolphins are beat up, leaking oil, and on a short week.

 

Cowboys -9 over Falcons, 27-14

-Honestly, I don’t love this game. But the over at 54 is pretty good. I just think it is more likely the Cowboys will get on track offensively. 

 

Titans -3 over Saints, 24-19

-Both teams are missing key participants, but it is 2021: the Saints are missing a QB and the Titans are missing an RB. One is more important than the other. 

 

Colts -10.5 over Jaguars, 27-13

-Great Jonathan Taylor game. 

 

Patriots -2 over Browns, 26-20 

-Never thought I’d feel this confident about the Pats. I really like this Browns team, but there’s too much turmoil and injury concerns. 

 

Bills -12 over Jets, 31-17

-Super glad the Bills lost last week because this line would’ve been something like 17. This way, we get the free 2 points because it should be at least two TDs. 

 

Steelers -8 over Lions, 24-12

-Whatever, I guess.

 

Bucs -9.5 over WFT, 34-23

-This assumes any Bucs receivers are healthy. 

 

Cardinals -10.5 over Panthers, 31-10

-Respect to the Cards. 

 

Chargers -3 over Vikings, 30-26

-I can’t wait to see how the Vikings are going to blow this game. 

 

Broncos -2.5 over Eagles, 21-16

-Broncos are a good/bad team and will likely take care of business in a fairly unwatchable game. 

 

Packers -3.5 over Seahawks, 31-27

-This assumes Rodgers and Russell are both playing. And in that case, I love the over of 49 here. 

 

Chiefs -2 over Raiders, 27-23

-I hate having to pick the Chiefs, but the Raiders are a mess. Nothing would surprise me here, however. 

 

Rams -4 over 49ers, 37-17

-I am personally disappointed in the San Francisco 49ers. They had the Cards last week coming off a tough loss with no Kyler or Hopkins, and still got crushed. The Rams are adding good players on a daily basis. Rams -one million.

2021 NFL Week 9 Predictions

 2021 NFL Week 9 Predictions

 

Texans +6 over Dolphins, 20-23

-This is just a vote of confidence in Tyrod Taylor coming back and being at all competent. 

 

Cowboys -10 over Broncos, 33-20

-Assuming Dak is back, this should be an easy win and provide plenty of opportunities for my Broncos WRs to get going.

 

Bengals -2.5 over Brown, 27-19

-I don’t know what happened last week to the Bengals but I still believe in them. The Browns are just too beat up right now. 

 

Ravens -6 over Vikings, 27-20

-Ravens are just rested and ready to dismantle this mentally weak Vikings team. 

 

Raiders -3 over Giants, 26-20

-With the Raiders rested, this should be an easy win. Waller is going to have a huge game. 

 

Saints -6 over Falcons, 27-13

-The Falcons suck. I hate betting on them. The minute I get any confidence in them, they crush my soul. I can’t stand watching them play football. Between their offense and the way that the Saints have to win games right now, this is functionally unwatchable. I hate Atlanta. 

 

Bills -14.5 over Jaguars, 38-6

-Did you know that because Jon Gruden technically resigned…“first coach fired” is still on the table in many places? Gotta be Urban, right?

 

Patriots -3.5 over Panthers, 27-20

-This is kind of free money because the Panthers have not been good for over a month. The Pats have been on a roll, on the rise, and we still haven’t seen the breakout Mac Jones game. One of these days, he’s going to complete a high percentage of passes AND throw the ball down the field AND Jakobi Meyers may actually score a TD one day. 

 

Chargers -1.5 over Eagles, 31-22

-Chargers are good. Eagles are not good. Yeah, that’s the tweet. 

 

49ers -2 over Cards, 20-16

-This is assuming that Kyler and Hopkins don’t play. 

 

Packers +8.5 over Chiefs, 23-20

-Yeah, I said it. I understand that the Packers have a lot going on, but there’s all the support in the world behind Jordan Love, they get DAdams back, and the Chiefs don’t look good. I’m definitely taking the points and why the heck not, calling the upset. 

 

Rams -7.5 over Titans, 31-17

-All the love and respect to the Titans, but there is no way. 

 

Bears +6.5 over Steelers, 16-19

-For the record, I don’t like either team. I am just taking the points.
