Week 12 Predictions

Well, Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

I'm gonna keep it short today, just gonna hit some predictions for this weeks games.

Tampa Bay vs. Tennessee
ESPN Pick: Tampa Bay 21 Tennessee 17
Committed Fan Pick: Tennessee 17 Tampa Bay 15

Matt Hasselbeck has been a lot of things in his career, but a wimp was never one of those things. I look for him to play through the pain and lead the Titans past the Bucs.


Minnesota vs. Atlanta
ESPN Pick: Minnesota 28 Atlanta 17
Committed Fan Pick: Atlanta 27 Minnesota 24

Christian Ponder is doing all the right things in Minnesota, but in the end, Matt Ryan and his dynamic receivers will prove to be too much for the Vikings to handle.


Cleveland vs. Cincinnati
ESPN Pick: Cincinnati 23 Cleveland 17
Committed Fan Pick: Cincinnati 28 Cleveland 17

In a battle of young quarterbacks, Andy Dalton will step up and lead his team to victory, as he has done all season.

Carolina vs. Indianapolis
ESPN Pick: Carolina 24 Indianapolis 14
Committed Fan Pick: Carolina 24 Indianapolis 14


Arizona vs. St. Louis
ESPN Pick: Arizona 20 St. Louis 19
Committed Fan Pick: St. Louis 21 Arizona 20
Arizona still has some skill players that could give St. Louis a run for their money, but their QB situation looks eerily similar to last year, when the team struggled tremendously.

Buffalo vs. New York Jets
ESPN Pick: Buffalo 17 New York 21
Committed Fan Pick: New York 24 Buffalo 14

Look for Buffalo to continue their awful slide from glory as they drop another game.


Houston vs. Jacksonville
ESPN Pick: Houston 21 Jacksonville 17
Committed Fan Pick: Houston 24 Jacksonville 14

Houston has greatly improved its image in the league this year, as it is no longer an easy win for better teams. I don't expect Jacksonville to cause a big problem for them.


Seattle vs. Washington
ESPN Pick: Seattle 20 Washington 17
Committed Fan Pick: Seattle 23 Washington 17


Chicago vs. Oakland
ESPN Pick: Chicago 14 Oakland 23
Committed Fan Pick: Chicago 23 Oakland 21

Alright, I may be a little bit biased here, but I have seen great things out of the Bears this year and I don't buy it that the loss of Cutler ruins this team. I just don't. They will have to work harder, but they can still win.


New England vs. Philadelphia
ESPN Pick: New England 20 Philadelphia 17
Committed Fan Pick:  New England 24 Philadelphia 17

Tom Brady and Co. showed last week that people are still wrong to vote against them. They have an elite passing game and can put 30 points on anybody at any time.


Denver vs. San Diego
ESPN Pick: Denver 24 San Diego 21
Committed Fan Pick: Denver 17 San Diego 14

Its the Tim Tebow effect. Its all over the news, this kid is 4-1 as a starter and has turned a lot of heads. If he continues this success, he may start to get even more attention.


Pittsburgh vs. Kansas City
ESPN Pick: Pittsburgh 27 Kansas City 10
Committed Fan Pick: Pittsburgh 24 Kansas City 14


Green Bay vs. Detroit
ESPN Pick: Green Bay 28 Detroit 27
Committed Fan Pick: Detroit 28 Green Bay 24

On Thanksgiving Day, I believe Detroit will come to play, and they will end the Packer's unbeaten season in spectacular fashion.


Miami vs. Dallas
ESPN Pick: Miami 21 Dallas 26
Committed Fan Pick: Miami 24 Dallas 26

Red Hot Miami will pose quite a challenge for this Dallas team, which looks great one week but comes out flat the next. 

San Francisco vs. Baltimore
ESPN Pick: San Francisco 17 Baltimore 14
Committed Fan Pick: San Francisco 20 Baltimore 17

You have to love whats at stake in this game. Two brothers, both head coaches and both with top tier teams, facing off on the day most fit for family time together. It should be a great game, but I see San Francisco getting it done today.


New Orleans vs. New York Giants
ESPN Pick: New Orleans 24 New York Giants 20
Committed Fan Pick: New Orleans 31 New York 21

Drew Brees has been spectacular this season, as he always is. The Saints flourish with their potent offense, and this game looks to be no different.
