NFL picks week 12

Last Week - 6 - 8

Overall - 97 - 62

Kansas City over Oakland - Well, well, sooner or later the Raiders had to win. I just didn't think it would be this week.

Cleveland over Atlanta - This might go the other way, and I changed this one twice before figuring that the Browns play better away.

Chicago over Tampa Bay - Yes, the Bucs did it last week. Yes, Bucs coach Lovie Smith played for the Bears before being fired. No, I don't see them winning this week.

Indianapolis over Jacksonville - While the Jaguars are playing well they aren't pulling in the wins, and they won't this week either.

Green Bay over Minnesota - Aaron Rogers is on a streak and Minnesota, while playing better than expected with the turmoil surrounding their main main Adrian Peterson, won't stop him this week.

New England over Detroit - The Lions are too sporadic for me. While I'm annoyed about the Patriots taking LaGarrette Blount (more on that tomorrow) he will want to play well this week as an in-your-face. Oh, and they have Tom Brady.

Philadelphia over Tennessee - The Titans couldn't put away the Steelers last week so I don't see them putting away the other Pennsylvania team.

Cincinnati over Houston - I went back and forth on this one too, but in the end I see the Texans like I see the Lions so I chose the Bengals.

San Diego over St. Louis - Surely, the Chargers are better than they have been.

Seattle over Arizona - Hmmm...if the Cardinals win this week....I might be a believer.

Denver over Miami - I'm a believer in my man Peyton.

San Francisco over Washington - The Redskins, (are they still called that?) have problems. The 49ers do too, but they seem to continue to win despite it.

Dallas over the Giants - The Giants are the Bucs of the east. Poor things. They might win today, but I didn't have enough confidence for them to do so.

Buffalo over the Jets - I haven't seen the Jets play yet (I was on an plane when they beat my boys), but I have seen the Bills.

Baltimore over New Orleans - The Ravens don't want the Steelers to move ahead of them no matter what.
