You know, I could sit here and spend a few times trying to come up with something clever to write before getting to the picks…maybe even something funny…maybe a little bit of both!
This is going to be a week unlike one we have seen in quite some time!
This pretty much goes against everything I stand for when writing these, but this week, with the fact that EVERY GAME is a close matchup, you can make an argument for every game being on every line!
So, you’re already here, might as well take a look at my argument .
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I will say that I am thankful for you all that take time every week to check out my football opinion – THANK YOU!
WEEK 12 – HERE WE GO!!
(HOME TEAM IN ALL CAPS)
15 – HOUSTON over New York Jets – Thanksgiving isn’t normally a holiday that includes gifts, but I will gift the Texans a top line spot this week thanks to a home matchup against Zach Wilson.
14 – DALLAS over Las Vegas – As a Raiders fan, I’m thankful the 2022 Draft is defensive heavy as I watch the Raiders draft slot go higher and higher every week.
13 – NEW YORK GIANTS over Philadelphia – As I said before, with the matchups this week, plan on putting a “hunch” pretty high if need be…as seen here.
12 – Buffalo over NEW ORLEANS – The Bills are a lot better than they have shown the last few weeks, look for this to be their comeback.
11 – BALTIMORE over Cleveland – It seems like the negative pressure is getting to Baker Mayfield.
10 – Carolina over MIAMI – While it’s easy to say the Dolphins are Super Bowl contenders after a road win over the Jets (pause for laughter) but I’m not quite ready to jump on that bandwagon just yet.
9 – CINCINATTI over Pittsburgh – The AFC North is pretty tight, but my BOLD PREDICTION is that THE BENGALS WILL WIN THE DIVISION.
8 – INDIANAPOLIS over Tampa Bay – Give Jonathan Taylor the ball and let him do his thing…seems to be working pretty well so far.
7 – SAN FRANCISCO over Minnesota – The Vikings are playing well right now, but the 9ers have quietly been one of the hottest teams in the league right now.
6 – WASHINGTON over Seattle – I still need to see something positive before having any more confidence in the Seahawks.
5 – NEW ENGLAND over Tennessee – After losing at home to the Texans, why would you think the Titans will win this week?
4 – DENVER over Los Angeles Chargers – It seems like the rest of the AFC West have just accepted the fact that the Chiefs will win the division again.
3 – DETROIT over Chicago – Just get through this game, and the Nagy era could be all over Bears fans!
2 – GREEN BAY over Los Angeles Rams – A loss last week is probably the best thing for Aaron Rodgers going into this huge NFC matchup.
