Regular Season Week 12
Happy
Thanksgiving!!!! This is one of my most favorite days of the year. Family,
food, and FOOTBALL!!!! Week 12 just so happens to be all divisional games,
which makes it extra fun. There are sure to be some good upsets. Speaking
of upsets, I lost again last week, by 4 points, after a 36-point comeback, and
am 4-7 in my league. (I feel like I just copy and paste this sentence week to
week and change the loss number) I went 6-7 on my picks, the worst yet, but the
Giants won so everything seems to be ok.
Let’s
recap week eleven.
Packers
@ Seahawks 24-27
This
was a really fun game to watch. The Packers put up a fight but it wasn’t enough
to win this game, just like the rest of their season.
Cowboys
@ Falcons 22-19
Not
much happened during the first half of this game. It was a field goal at the end
of the game to give the Cowboys a win. A lot of games this week were decided by
a field goal at the end of regulation, the Cowboys aren’t special.
Panthers
@ Lions 19-20
The
Panthers could have won this game with a little over a minute left in the game
but Cam failed to complete a 2-point conversion giving the Lions a win. I mean,
they could have gone for the field goal and went into overtime…
Titans
@ Colts 10-38
I’ve
noticed that if I play a particular defense it’s a sure pass for the other team
to score a ton of points. I started the Titans defense… because of the Titans
defense I lost this week in fantasy. -6 points. You shouldn’t be able to get
negative points in fantasy. Damnit!
Buccaneers
@ NY Giants 35-38
YAAAAAAAAY
GMEN!!!!!! OBJ has been correct twice. They now have two consecutive wins.
Speaking of OBJ, he was on point, catching ridiculous balls and making
touchdowns. Saquon Barkley also had a phenomenal day with three touchdowns. Eli
was near perfect and the defense really stepped up creating four turnovers. It’s nice to see the Giants play like a
professional team and not a dysfunctional high school JV scrimmage.
Texans
@ Redskins 23-21
The
Redskins lost this game as well as their QB. Alex Smith suffered a broken leg
eerily familiar to Joe Theismen; same broken bones, same date, same final
score. Weird right? The Redskins could have won with a field goal at the end of
regulation but the ball fell short. The Texans, on the other hand, have won
seven straight.
Steelers
@ Jaguars 20-16
The
Steelers didn’t win this game, the Jags lost it. They had dominated the whole
game until the last minute and Big Ben being, well, Big Ben stretched it in for
a game winning rushing touchdown.
Bengals
@ Ravens 21-24
With
Joe Flacco out, Lamar Jackson started his first NFL game and ran for 117 yards;
apparently no one told him he was the quarterback. It all worked out and the
Ravens won the game.
Raiders
@ Cardinals 23-21
I can’t
believe the Raiders actually won. I really don’t have much to say about this. It came down to a field goal at the end of
regulation.
Broncos
@ Chargers 23-22
The
Broncos spoiled the Chargers win streak. This game, like so many others this weekend,
ended with a field goal as time expired, giving the Broncos a win.
Eagles
@ Saints 7-48
This
game! Hah! The Eagles are the Super Bowl champions, but they don’t seem to be
playing like that anymore. It’s safe to say that the Saints marched all over
the Eagles.
Vikings
@ Bears 20-25
Kahlil
Mack and the rest of the Bears defense dominated the game, snuffing the Vikings
fun. They had a number of sacks, a fumble recovery and a pick six. Da Bears are
up and coming. The bad news is that their quarterback, Mitch Trubisky, was
injured during the game and unlikely to play on Thanksgiving.
Chiefs @ Rams 51-54
This was a shoot out for sure, with three defensive
touchdowns. The score was the highest
combined point total in football history. Ridiculous, but fun to watch. The Rams came out on top because their
defense stepped up and intercepted Mahomes in the final minute of the game to
seal the deal.
I didn’t win in fantasy, I really didn’t do well on my
picks, but at least the Giants won.
WEEK 12
Thursday,
November 22nd
Bears
[7-3] @ Lions [4-6] (12:30pm CBS)
The
Lions always play on thanksgiving, it’s a tradition. It is also a tradition for
them to lose. Trubisky is doubtful as starting QB for the Bears but I still
think that they will win.
Redskins
[6-4] @ Cowboys [5-5] (4:30pm FOX)
The Redskins are
injury ridden and without Alex Smith. They have Colt McCoy starting as QB. As
much as I want this game to end in a tie I’m picking the Cowboys to win.
Falcons
[4-6] @ Saints [9-1] (8:20pm NBC)
I’m picking the
Saints for the win; it’s pretty much a no brainer.
Sunday,
November 25th
Jaguars
[3-7] @ Bills [3-7] (1pm CBS)
I have
no idea what Bills team is going to show up week to week. I don’t think that the Bills will win two in
a row; I’m picking the Jags to win.
Browns
[3-6-1] @ Bengals [5-5] (1pm CBS)
I’m picking the Bengals to win. A.J.
Green might actually be back.
Patriots
[7-3] @ Jets [3-7] (1pm CBS)
The
Jets seem to be the Pats kryptonite but I’m still going to pick the Pats to
win.
NY
Giants [3-7] @ Eagles [4-6] (1pm FOX)
Again,
I think that the Giants can win this game; they’ve won two in a row. I’ll be
rooting for them but I’m not going to pick them to win. Go GMEN!!!!!!
49ers
[2-8] @ Buccaneers [3-7] (1pm FOX)
I’m picking Fitzmagic and the Bucs to
beat the 49ers.
Seahawks
[5-5] @ Panthers [6-4] (1pm FOX)
I don’t think the
Panthers are going to come back from that loss last week. I’m going to pick the
Seahawks to win.
Raiders
[2-8] @ Ravens [5-5] (1pm CBS)
I’m
picking the Ravens to win this game. I’m pretty sure the Raiders can’t win two
in a row.
Cardinals
[2-8] @ Chargers [7-3] (4:05pm FOX)
The Chargers won’t lose two in a row; I’m
picking them to beat the Cardinals.
Steelers
[7-2-1] @ Broncos [4-6] (4:25pm CBS)
I’d like to see the Broncos win, but I think
that the Steelers take this game.
Dolphins
[5-5] @ Colts [5-5] (4:25pm CBS)
I’m picking the Colts
to win at home. I have no good reason for this pick.
Packers
[4-5-1] @ Vikings [5-4-1] (8:20pm NBC)
I’m picking the Vikings to win, they’ve been
struggling recently but I think they are going to bounce back.
Monday,
November 26th
Titans
[5-5] @ Texans [7-3] (8:15pm ESPN)
I’m
picking the Texans to win; I no longer have high hopes for the Titans.
BYES:
Rams, Chiefs
GO
GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
for the edit Eric!
