2012-13 Picks - NFL - Week 12

"My heart says Giants. My head says Packers."

Sunday, November 25 - Game of the Week
GB @ NYG | Packers - My heart says Giants. My head says Packers. Historically, in big games this like this, going with Eli Manning is the obvious choice. He's knocked off Tom Brady in two Superbowls; he has an uncanny ability to make miracles happen late in games; he consistently comes up big when it matters most. But this week, for no other reason than keeping the NFC East race as close and interesting as possible, I think the Giants come up short. Yeah... It's better this way.

Thursday, November 22
HOU @ DET | Lions - The Texans are good. Better than the Falcons, but they are vulnerable. I feel like the Lions might capitalize on that this week.
WAS @ DAL | Cowboys - The Cowboys have a chance to truly get on a roll this week versus RG3...but he's out for blood.
NE @ NYJ | Patriots - #FreeTebow

Sunday, November 25
MIN @ CHI | Bears - Cutty or no Cutty, Chicago gets it done and gets back on track.
OAK @ CIN | Bengals - Dalton has played really well this year. 2:1 TD:INT ratio and over 2500 yards passing.
PIT @ CLE | Browns - Call me crazy, but I'm going with the Browns at home.
BUF @ IND | Colts - After their reality check against the Pats last week, Indy can get back on track.
TEN @ JAC | Titans - I'm inclined to pick Tennessee, mainly because the worse Jacsonville does this year, the more likely Tebow will be their starting QB. Wrong, I know.
DEN @ KC | Broncos - I feel like the Broncos are turning into one of the top teams in the AFC...guess that's the Peyton Manning effect.
SEA @ MIA | Seahawks - Their defense is still scary...much less so on the road, though.
ATL @ TB | Buccaneers - Another week to show how vulnerable to Falcons are.
BAL @ SD | Ravens - I really wanted to pick the Chargers at home...well, not really.
STL @ ARI | Cardinals - Amendola is a great fantasy pick up, but he doesn't change the outcome of games.
SF @ NO | Saints - Still going strong with Brees and the boys.

Monday, November 26
CAR @ PHI | Eagles - At the beginning of the year, this game would be circled on the calendar. Today, not so much.
