TouchDown
All good things must come to an end. And that was our run of winning weeks, We’re hungry to make amends, so let’s dive right into a heaping helping of fearless predicting with our NFL picks for Week 12.
Who knew arguably the best game of Week 12 would be the AFC South matchup between Houston and Jacksonville?
Make your best NFL script joke here, right? That is one of three matchups between teams with winning records. San Francisco travels to Seattle in the Thanksgiving prime-time game, and Buffalo travels to Philadelphia.
Our Picks:
Falcons vs Saints
Our Pick: Saints ML @4/5
Both NFC South Teams had a bye week to prepare for this matchup. Atlanta is turning back to Desmond Ridder at quarterback moving forward, and the Saints are at .500. Derek Carr has a better QB rating on the road (94.6), and this begins a stretch where the Saints have four divisional games in seven weeks. New Orleans has won five in a row at Atlanta.
Bengals vs Steelers
Our Pick: Steelers ML @10/13
Will the Steelers lose to a backup quarterback for the second week in a row? we don’t think so. Cincinnati will turn to Jake Browning, who will have a few extra days to prepare for that Pittsburgh pass rush. The Steelers are 2-2 S/U on the road, and they have averaged just 15.8 points per game in those matchups. Ryan Finley led the Bengals to an improbable Monday Night Football upset against Pittsburgh in 2020. Can Browning match it?
Titans vs Panthers
Our Pick: Over 36.5 @10/11
The Panthers are the lone one-win team left in the NFL, and it has been ugly all season. The Titans have averaged 12 points per game through a three-game losing streak, and Derrick Henry has just 45.7 rushing yards per game in those losses. Henry gives Will Levis some run support, but Bryce Young keeps this battle of rookie quarterbacks closer than expected.
Colts vs Buccaneers
Our Pick: Colts ML @20/27
The Buccaneers have lost five of six games, and that includes three one-score losses. The lack of a running game – Tampa Bay is last in the league with 76.9 rushing yards per game – cannot be trusted on the road. Indianapolis had a bye week to prepare, and they remain in the AFC playoff hunt. They cannot afford to lose this one. Tampa Bay will be a popular upset pick, but we’ll stick with the favorite.
Giants vs Patriots
Our Pick: Over 34.0 @10/11
These are two of the messiest offenses in the NFL, and the Patriots have not named a starter coming out of the bye week. The Giants won last week despite the fact Tommy DeVito was sacked nine times. Turnovers will be the difference. New York is +3. The Patriots are -6.
Texans vs Jaguars
Our Pick: Jaguars ML @4/5
Jacksonville is 4-1 when they rush for at least 100 yards and limit their opponent to less than 100 yards. It’s simple. They have to get after Stroud. Jacksonville is 3-2 S/U when the spread is three points or less, with the only losses coming to the Chiefs and 49ers. They need this one a little more considering Houston has won 10 of the last 11 meetings.
Cardinals vs Rams
Our Pick: Rams ML @20/27
The Rams smashed the Cardinals 26-9 in the first meeting in Week 6. Matthew Stafford led Los Angeles to a comeback victory against the Seahawks, and now another opportunity on the road presents itself. Stafford is 2-1 in head-to-head against Kyler Murray, so that does not change the conversation in what could be another tight game.
Raiders vs Chiefs
Our Pick: Chiefs -10.0 @10/11
A victory over the Chiefs would probably get Antonio Pierce the full-time head coaching job, right? Kansas City is 9-1 S/U in the last 10 meetings, including three consecutive victories at Las Vegas by an average of 16.3 points per game. Kansas City is working on a short week, but the Raiders will need to have more success on the ground to keep up with a Chiefs’ team that turns the ball over a little too much.
Eagles vs Bills
Our Pick: Eagles ML 20/33
The Eagles have a short week to get ready for a hit-or-miss Buffalo team that is 1-3 S/U on the road this season. The Bills also have a tough matchup against Kansas City in Week 13. The Eagles are 4-1 S/U when they get four or more sacks. Look for this defense to turn up the pressure on Josh Allen. Jalen Hurts does the rest, and the Eagles build momentum heading into the NFC championship rematch against San Francisco.
Chargers vs Ravens
Our Pick: Ravens ML @20/33
The Ravens are in control in the rugged AFC North, and the Chargers are on the brink after a sloppy loss at Green Bay. Brandon Staley is 2-5 in one-score games this season. Baltimore is 3-3 in one-score games with a few hiccups, but if Lamar Jackson maintains his 68% completion percentage on the road without mistakes, Baltimore will be fine here.
