NFL Week 12 NFL Predictions

Week 12 Predictions:

Lions -2.5 over Vikings, 22-16

-This would almost break the Lions if they lose, so coming off the bye and versus a team that may not have won last week without two defensive/special teams scores, I’m taking them. I’m still just very uneasy about backing the Vikings. Defensive scoring is not sustainable.

Ethnic Slurs +6.5 over Cowboys, 30-31

-Washington can score. Cowboys may win but I’m taking the 6.5.

Steelers -4.5 over Colts, 30-17

-No Luck would be catastrophic, and probably good night for this one even before it starts.

Falcons -4 over Cards, 29-20

-That’s the sound of the Cards’ season ending, and the Falcons keeping pace with their surprisingly feisty division. Weird weird Arizona year.

Ravens -3.5 over Bengals, 20-12

-Bengals are limping now, and this game would about eliminate them.

Jags +7 over Bills, 23-24

-I don’t know. Just taking the points. Both teams offend me. 

Titans -2 over Bears, 24-20

-This is an easy one for the Titans with the Colts getting a tough draw. The division is actually going to be interesting to watch down the stretch, and I still think the Titans can win this.

Giants -7 over Browns, 24-10

-Browns aren’t winning this season. Giants are fighting for a playoff spot, and easily take this game.

Chargers pk over Texans, 26-12

-I still just don’t trust the Texans to score to the level they need to. They are also traveling from Mexico City on a short week, while the Chargers had a bye week and actually got healthier for the first time this season. 

Fins -7.5 over Niners, 24-14

-Niners are a bad team, the Fins are ascendant (who’d have believed that after week 1?). Ajayi has made a huge difference. 

Saints -7 over Rams, 29-13

-The Saints can score, and the Rams can't. That's about it. Goff should be able to work a little against this defense though.

Seahawks -5 over Bucs, 27-21

-Bucs are officially the team I don’t have a pulse on. However, I think I absolutely have the pulse for Seattle.

Raiders -4 over Panthers, 30-23

-Raiders continue their roll, basically eliminating Carolina from the playoff picture.

Pats -8.5 over Jets, 34-22

-This is a very flawed Pats team that is absolutely going to roll to 14-2 and a top seed. This Jets team is nearing disaster range. Pats defense might figure it out here.

Chiefs -3.5 over Broncos, 20-13

-Broncos don’t have a QB, and their defense is only good, not great right now.

Packers pk over Eagles, 27-20

-Eagles are just in too much of a free fall and the Packers need this. The Eagles also don’t really have much at running back or receiver right now, for different reasons.
