Week 12 Predictions:


Thanksgiving:


Bears @ Lions: Bears rally with 14 points in the 4th to secure the W on the road. Chase Daniels played a great game and did not throw an INT.
Washington @ Dallas: Dallas at home will be my pick. Both teams are matched up well, but if Dallas can run the ball well and take the pressure of DAK they can secure the win. This is a close one 21-17 Dallas.
Atlanta @ New Orleans: There is no rest for Brees and the Saints. The onslaught will conintue vs Matt Ryan and the Falcons. 38-10 Saints


Sunday:


Morning Games:
Jacksonville @ Buffalo: Buffalo is improving with the change in QB, but Jacksonville is not playing that hot. They did get some resielence vs a good game that fell short vs the Steelers. I am going to pick Jacksonville on the road with a win. 20-14 Jags
Cleveland @ Cincy: Can Cincy stop Cleveland, can the browns score enough points? Both questions that need to be answered. I find this a high scoring game with the Bengals espcaing at home. 28-21 Bengals
New England @ Jets: Tom Brady will be way too much for the Jets. They are struggling and have been all year. 35-10 Pats
NY @ Philly: Philly will take care of the Giants. They rely too much on Barkley and Eli has been up and down with a very weak offensive line. 31-17 Eagles
SF @ TB: A tough matchup for SF on the road. They will be challenged by TB, but they are not looking impressive. This will be close I am going with SF on the road. 21-17 SF
Seattle @ Carolina: A great game with two well match-up teams. I see Russell Wilson taking care of business and the defense putting enough pressure on Cam Newton. Another close one here 20-14 with Seattle taking this one.
Oakland @ Baltimore: Baltimore even with Lamar Jackson as QB will take this one. Oakland may have got a win, but they won't have enough firepower for the Ravens. Ravens 24-10




Afternoon Games:


Arizona @ LA Rams: Rams are way too strong here. 38-10 Rams
Steelers @ Denver: Steelers stay hot even after a close win vs Jacksonville. They go into Denver and keep the win streak alive. James Conner will carry the load. 28-14 Steelers.
Miami @ Indy: Miami is the better team on paper and they will provide too much offense for Luck. I see Miami escaping in a close one. 21-14 Dolphins.


SNF:
Green Bay @ Minnesota: Talk about a big time rivalry game. Rodgers will find a way to win because that is what he does. 24-20 Packers.


MNF:
Tennessee @ Houston: I see Houston and Watson coming through. They have a strong defense and weapons on offense. There could be some numbers put up in this game. 31-24 Texans.

[The Solution]

Week 13 Predictions:


TNF:
New Orleans @ Dallas: Too much offense, and Zeke won't be able to churn enough yards on the ground to keep the Saints off balance. 38-17 Saints.




Morning Games:
Baltimore @ Atlanta: Lamar Jackson will takeover and win vs Matty Ryan. I see Baltimore pulling this one off but close. 24-20 Ravens
Denver @ Cincinnati: Cincy continues to struggle on defense. Denver 28-17
Los Angeles @ Detroit: Rams will be way too much here. 42-17 Rams
Arizona @ Green Bay: Rodgers will get the W here to keep playoff hopes alive. 28-10 Packers
Buffalo @ Miami: Miami at home should seal the W. Buffalo is still looking for answers: Miami 27-13
Chicago @ New York: Bears defense is too much for New York: 27-7
Carolina @ Tampa Bay: There may be some points here, but Cam will come out on top with the panthers. Panthers 21-20
Indianapolis @ Jacksonville: Luck and Indy are making a surge and they will overcome Jacksonville on the road. 28-17 Indy
Cleveland @ Houston: Cleveland coming off a big W over a division rival will be cooled by the hot texans who continue their win streak. Texans 28-7
New York @ Tennessee: I see Mariota taking control here after an incredible almost perfect showing last week. 24-10 Titans


Afternoon Games:


Kansas City @ Oakland: Blowout here 42-10 KC
Minnesota @ New England: NE will be too strong at home. 28-17
San Francisco @ Seattle: Wilson and the seahawks continue to play well and will win at home. 27-10


SNF:


Los Angeles @ Pittsburgh: Two great teams square off at Heinz Field. I am hoping the Steelers rebound after a falty loss. 27-24 Steelers


MNF:


Washington @ Philadelphia: This will be a close one. Eagles have struggled all year, but with Home field they could pull it off here. 30-28 Philly

Week 14 Predictions

TNF:
JAX @ Tenn: Should be a good game in cold weather. If Jacksonville can establish the run it would cause problems for Mariota and Tennessee. 21-17 Titans.

Sunday Morning Games:

New York @ Buffalo: Buffalo will take care of business at home vs the Jets. 21-10 Bills
Carolina @ Cleveland: Do not rule Cleveland out here at home. IT will be close, but I think cam will keep his composure and win. 21-17 Carolina.
Atlanta @ Green Bay: Will there be anything left to savor for Rodgers? With their coach out I still see him leading his squad to a close W over Ryan and the Falcons. 20-17 Green Bay
Baltimore @ Kansas City: Baltimore is looking strong under Lamar Jackson, but he will be tested vs a great KC team. I see the chiefs stopping Lamar and putting up too may points. 38-21 Chiefs.
New England @ Miami:This will be a harder game than expected for brady and his team. I still see them coming out with a W on the road under a very close game. 21-20 NE.
New Orleans @ Tampa Bay: Tampa Bay will not be able to score enough on NO to win. I see Brees putting up 300-400+ yards and several touchdowns. 35-21 Saints
New York @ Washington: Another good game here. Can Eli muster up enough offense to beat the redskins? I give the advantage at home to Washington. 21-17 Redskins.
Indianapolis @ Houston: Two very hot teams right here going head to head in Houston. Texas will keep their win streak alive which is turning them around from starting 0-3. 35-17 Texans.


Sunday Afternoon Games:

Cincy @ LA Chargers: Chargers will put up too many points on a struggle Cincy Defense. 35-13 Chargers
Denver @ San Francisco: Denver will continue to win even with losing one of their best receivers. 30 - 14 Bronco's
Philly @ Dallas: Dallas will continue to roll. They are hot right now and Zeke will pound the ball to open up play action. 27-10 Dallas
Pittsburgh @ Oakland: Pittsburgh gets back on track after two losses. 28-10 Steelers
Detroit @ Arizona: This is a coinflip. Both teams are not the best, but someone has to win. It will be close 21-20 Arizona


SNF:
LA Rams @ Chicago: If the Bears can force turnovers and keep the rams off the field it could be interesting. I think the Rams will put up too many points for Chicago. 28-20 Rams

MNF:
Minn @ Seattle: Two good teams going head to head in Seattle. I give Seattle the edge wit home field. It is very hard to win there. 21-17 Seahawks

Mike Tomlin should be next.

Best coach in the AFC North. Cincy, Cleveland, and Baltimore have not been that great or had deep playoff runs in the last 4-5 years.

[supbro!]

Beating up on Cincinnati and Cleveland during the regular season means nothing come playoffs. Having been a fan of them for over 40 years it sickens me to see them collapse in the playoffs year after year. Denver, and Jacksonville loses were inexcusable as far as I'm concerned and that's off the top of my head. The man has no control of his lockerroom.Leaving Villanueva out to dry for the national anthem was a disgrace. Too much talent on that team for these results.

[The Solution]

Neither is an offensive tackle jumping offsides which was clear as daylight causing them to lose their last game because the whole defense stopped playing. take those 7 points back and you have another W.

They are in good hands with Tomlin, he is going no where. Everyone has their bumps and bruises. They just need to draft a good QB to backup ben because his days are numbered. The last few years and the 3rd round draft picks will not be a franchise QB

A week to prepare for the worst team in the league knowing you're starting a back up at rb and that's what they game planned. That first half was horrendous. Ben comes back fro an injury to lead them to a likely victory and as I knew would happen they blow it.Tomlin has to go.

Those bumps and bruises look like a torn ACL right now.

[The Solution]

Was not Tomlin's fault. We don't have a good backup. I have been saying it for 4-5 years we need to draft a franchise QB because without Ben we can't utilize our weapons. When we can't have a QB that can throw a pass they load the box and we go 3 and out. That's on the O-Coordinator. He changes the entire playbook when Ben is in the game and when Dobb's is in the game.

We are lucky the Ravens lost to give us hope for the playoffs. Either way Conner will be back next week, Ben should be fine with the slight rib injury, but we just have to regroup and push forward with a tough final stretch.

BIG upset for the N.O. Saints!! Cowboys came to play!

Amari Cooper looking GREAT at his new home in DALLAS!

[The Solution]

Saints release WR Brandon Marshall
Wentz probable with Back Injury


The 11-2 Chiefs, who lead the NFL in scoring with more than 36 points per game, will be without wide receiver Sammy Watkins, who has a foot injury. Starting running back Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) and left guard Cam Erving (knee) also might not play.


Pittsburgh's James Conner probable for Steelers vs Pats on Sunday afternoon game.


TNF:


LA Chargers @ Cheifs
This game can go either way as both teams are playing well. I give the edge to KC at home, but do not be surprised if Brees and the Chargers can pull an upset. Chargers are short at RB, and Watkins is out for KC


My Guess: KC 35-24


Injury Report:


Los Angeles Chargers
Melvin Gordon, RB Questionable
Austin Ekeler, RB Out
Sean Culkin, TE Out
Trevor Williams, CB Out
Brandon Mebane, NT Doubtful


Kansas City Chiefs
Spencer Ware, RB Doubtful
Sammy Watkins, WR Out
Eric Berry, S Questionable
Cameron Erving, OT Doubtful
Tyreek Hill, WR Questionable

[The Solution]

Saturday Games:

Houston @ NYJ: -- Houston will rebound after their loss. 28-10 Houston
Cleveland @ Denver: Can Cleveland get more wins? Very possible. Do not be surprised to see Baker have a good game. 24-20 Browns

Sunday AM Games:

Arizona @ Atlanta - Another game where there are two teams who are struggling. I give the advantage to Ryan at home. 24-17 Falcons.
Detroit @ Buffalo - This could go either way both teams are so-so. I will go 21-17 Buffalo
Green Bay @ Chicago - Chicago will stay hot after a big W. Their defense is nasty. 21-10 Chicago
Oakland @ Cincinnati - I can see Oakland pulling the W here. Cincy can't stop anyone. 17-10 Oakland
Dallas @ Indianapolis - Indy is on a roll but they face a scorching hot Cowboys team. You have to stop Zeke or else it will be a long day. 24-20 Cowboys
Miami @ Minnesota - Two good teams go head to head. I will go home field with Minnesota 24-20 Vikings.
Tennessee @ New York - NY is coming around. I am going with the Giants on this one 24-17 Giants
Washington @ Jacksonville - A good battle here Jacksonville has struggled all year, I give washington the upper hand 17-10 Washington
Tampa Bay @ Baltimore - Lamar Jackson gets another start, and I see him getting a W at home here. 24-21 Ravens

Sunday Afternoon games:

Seattle @ San Francisco: I like seattle. They aer very good in the month of December. 30-14 Seahawks
New England @ Pittsburgh: Steelers are on a skid, and it will be hard to overcome the reigning AFC Champs. This will be close but if Conner and the Steelers can keep Brady off the field they have a chance. 21-20 Steelers.

SNF:
Philadelphia @ Los Angeles: The rams will be too much firepower for the eagles. 28-14 LA

MNF:
New Orleans @ Carolina: I like the saints even at Carolina. Cam and the panthers did not look sharp vs the Browns the previous week. 27-14 New Orleans.
