NFL Week 12 predictions

Week 12 NFL Picks, top WR's, and analysis

After starting off mediocre, I was an astonishing 13-1 in last week's picks.  The Panthers are the only team that let me down.  Tampa Bay are proving to me every week that they are a team not to be under estimated. Playoff picture is starting to clear up for a few teams but not for many.  This season will go down to the wire with some good teams not making the playoffs.  Week 12 will be the week that will make or break some of these teams.

  

• Andre Johnson is my player of the week for Week 11
• Patriots were the team of the week scoring 59pts
• Texans, Falcons and Packers escaped let down losses
• Peyton's Broncos continue to shine
• RG3 put up superstar numbers against the failing Eagles 
• 49'ers made Bears look like a High School team
• Ravens get a win on the road in a great game against a banged up Steelers team

Without further ado here are my Thanksgiving Picks:

Date	Away	Matchup	Home	Result	TV
Thu, Nov 22 4:15 PM		Washington at Dallas		Cowboys 29-22
		Cowboys struggle at home but will find a way to contain RG3
Thu, Nov 22 8:20 PM		New England at New York		Patriots 38 - 13
		Patriots are playing like a Super Bowl team if they didn't have injuries. Jets need help
Fri, Nov 23 12:30 AM		Houston at Detroit		Texans 24-20
		2 great receivers play but Lions only play 1 quarter per game so Houston prevails with a strong defense
Sun, Nov 25 1:00 PM		Buffalo at Indianapolis		Colts 23-21
		Indy bounce back after get mollywhopped last week by Patriots
Sun, Nov 25 1:00 PM		Minnesota at Chicago		Vikings 27-20
		Should be an exciting game.  AP had a week to rest now its back to destroying defenses.  Bears O-Line got heavily exposed against 49'ers will be under pressure a lot
Sun, Nov 25 1:00 PM		Atlanta at Tampa Bay		Bucs 30-27
		NFC south teams are tough to beat at home I said this when ATL lost their 1st game
Sun, Nov 25 1:00 PM		Oakland at Cincinnati		Bengals 31-20
		Raiders on the road tough to get a win.  Bengals A.J Green and Andy Dalton are a great combo.
Sun, Nov 25 1:00 PM		Denver at Kansas City		Broncos 40-17
		Peyton stays healthy his team wins again.  KC should start getting ready for draft day 2013
Sun, Nov 25 1:00 PM		Pittsburgh at Cleveland		Steelers 20-10
		Banged up Pitt team still has a good defense and now they have Plaxico 'shootyaself' Burress.  Should be enough to beat turnover happy Cleveland
Sun, Nov 25 1:00 PM		Seattle at Miami		Seahawks 26-17
		Dolphins have lost their swag and have no one on the team that has any.  Seattle is 2nd in the league in sacks.  Will get to the QB early and often
Sun, Nov 25 1:00 PM		Tennessee at Jacksonville		Jaguars 23-20
		This one is a toss up.  Chad Henne stepping up but its hard to go against Chris Johnson going against the 29th ranked defense against the run.  Jacksonville plays tough at home
Sun, Nov 25 4:05 PM		Baltimore at San Diego		Ravens 31-29
		Chargers need to start all over again.  Ravens continue their road to the Super Bowl
Sun, Nov 25 4:25 PM		St. Louis at Arizona		Cardinals 23-20
		Cardinals will finally get another win behind their 3rd starting QB this season.  When will they realize that they have the best WR in the game?
Sun, Nov 25 4:25 PM		San Francisco at New Orleans		Saints 33-30
		2 tough teams but once again NFC South at home is hard to beat
Sun, Nov 25 8:20 PM		Green Bay at New York		34-31
		Giants get back in stride with a big win at home
Mon, Nov 26 8:30 PM		Carolina at Philadelphia Vick still out and O-Line for the Eagles is horrendous.  Cam can you get a win on the road?		Panthers 29-27
