Regular Season Week 12

Happy Thanksgiving! I am writing you from Dover DE this week while I’m celebrating this special holiday with my family. I have taken a break from baking pies and holding my nephew (HE’S SOOOOO CUTE) to talk about football.
Week 11 was rough to watch, but at least my picks were better this past week.  Here are the recaps of week 11.

New York Jets @ Denver 13-17
Tebow does it again and the Jets crumble. Ouch.

Cincinnati @ Baltimore 24-31
This was a tight game and I had doubts that the Ravens would come out on top, but somehow they pulled it off.

Jacksonville @ Cleveland 10-14
Holy crap, the Browns won one at home! (no pun intended)

Carolina @ Detroit 35-49
Well Carolina looked good the first half…

Tampa Bay @ Green Bay 26-35
The Packers seem to be unstoppable.

Buffalo @ Miami 8-35
Buffalo is done this season and Miami is no longer in the race for “Suck for Luck”

Oakland @ Minnesota 27-21
It’s nice to see the Raiders bouncing back.

Dallas @ Washington 27-24 OT
Puke. Washington, you let me down.

Arizona  @ San Francisco 7-23
As if there was any doubt that the 49ers wouldn’t win this game.

Seattle @ St. Louis 24-7
I have nothing witty to say about this game. Yay Seattle.

Tennessee @ Atlanta 17-23
Tennessee tried to upset Atlanta but they just ran out of time.

San Diego @ Chicago 20-31
Put a fork in the Chargers ‘cause they’re done. Cutler is also done for the season, which is bad news for the Bears, not to be confused with the Bad News Bears.

Philadelphia @ New York Giants 17-10
I’ve never seen a more pathetic game played by the Giants. I literally felt ill at the end of the game. I don’t want to discuss it because it still leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I don’t know what team was on the field that Sunday night but it wasn’t the Giants I know and love.

Kansas City @ New England 3-34
KC looked good for the first quarter and then fell apart. Big surprise? Not really.

I got 11-14 right in Week 11 picks.  (far better than last week.)

WEEK 12

Green Bay (10-0) @ Detroit (7-3) [Thursday 12:30pm FOX]
On Thanksgiving I pretty much always root for the Lions, and this year will not be any different. I don’t think they’ll pull off the win but crazier things have happened.  I’m picking the Packers to win.

Miami (3-7) @ Dallas (6-4) [Thursday 4:15pm CBS]
I sure do hope that Miami can upset Dallas at home on Thanksgiving. I’d be truly thankful for this. I’m picking Miami

San Francisco (9-1) @ Baltimore (7-3) [Thursday 8:20pm NFL]
If you are not in a turkey coma, and need to watch more football Thursday night and don’t have the NFL Network you can catch the game on www.nfl.com  (just looking out for you die-hard football fans!) I’m taking the 49ers for the win.

Carolina (2-8) @ Indianapolis (0-10) [Sunday 1pm FOX]
As much as I’d like to pick the Colts for the win I’m going to pick Carolina. I’m sure Indi will boost the Panthers’ confidence.  (Though I will say that I gave my nephew his first Colts t-shirt and I can’t wait to see him wear it)

Minnesota (2-8) @ Atlanta (6-4) [Sunday 1pm FOX]
I’ve got to take Atlanta at home.

Cleveland (4-6) @ Cincinnati (6-4) [Sunday 1pm CBS]
Last year I would have picked Cleveland. This year I’m picking Cincinnati for the win.

Tampa Bay (4-6) @ Tennessee (5-5) [Sunday 1pm FOX]
This should be an interesting game. I’m going with the Titans only because they are at home, although that doesn’t seem to matter much this season.

Arizona (3-7) @ St. Louis (2-8) [Sunday 1pm FOX]
I’m going with the Cardinals. 

Buffalo (5-5) @ New York Jets (5-5) [Sunday 1pm CBS]
I think a NY team will win. … But seriously, both teams are playing horrible. I think I’m going to pick the Jets for the win but won’t be at all surprised if they blow it.

Houston (7-3) @ Jacksonville (3-7) [Sunday 1pm CBS]
I’m taking Houston.

Chicago (7-3) @ Oakland (6-4) [Sunday 4:05pm FOX]
With Jay gone the Bears may struggle. I’m going to pick Oakland for the win.

Washington (3-7) @ Seattle 4-6 [Sunday 4:05pm FOX]
I’m picking Seattle for the win.

New England (7-3) @ Philadelphia (4-6) [Sunday 4:15pm CBS]
You may want to sit down for this. I actually want New England to kick the snot out of Philly. I’m picking the Pats for this game. (Still not over the Sunday night game last week) 

Denver (5-5) @ San Diego (4-6) [Sunday 4:15pm CBS]
My crazy pick of the week, Denver over San Diego.

Pittsburgh (7-3) @ Kansas City (4-6) [Sunday 8:20pm NBC]
KC is really good at blowing it; therefore I’m picking Pittsburgh for the win.

New York Giants (6-4) @ New Orleans (7-3) [MNF 8:30pm ESPN]
I bought my nephew his first Eli jersey yesterday. I hope this helps the GMEN get their game back. They need this win sooooooo bad, as do I. I’m picking the Giants for the win, I just hope they show up this week.

PS there are no more byes for the rest of the season.

Again I hope you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving! GO GIANTS & COLTS!!!!!!!!
