NFL Week 12 Picks

I went 3-3 last week, and 2-0 on Thanksgiving, making me 28-32-2 for the season. I just need one big week to reach respectability. Here's hoping it's this week.

Carolina -4 at Buffalo: Last week's loss to the Bears may have spooked some people about the Panthers. Not me. They are slightly better than the Bills on defense, and much, much better on offense. They should cruise in this one.

Jacksonville -3.5 at Arizona: Why isn't this spread higher? Is it the vaunted home-field advantage possessed by the Cardinals? Don't make me laugh. The Jaguars by a lot.

Cleveland +4 at Minnesota: The Vikings have won a couple in a row, which makes them due for a clunker. They might win, but Cleveland is getting better, and should make it close.

Green Bay +4.5 at Philadelphia: Every game the Packers lose makes them a more attractive underdog the next week, as the masses of degenerate gamblers stay away from them. What most people haven't noticed is that they have covered in most of those losses.

Oakland vs. Miami under 42 points: Miami's offense is afflicted with Bad Quarterback Play, a disease which seriously limits their ability to score. The Raiders have firepower, but I believe they will emphasize the run this week, which will keep the score down.

San Diego -3 at Washington: It looks like the wheels are starting to come loose on the Redskins' bandwagon. The Chargers, on the other hand, are starting to get scary on offense, which is covering their defensive inadequacies. But because of their defense, let's take the over 44 points total too.

St. Louis at Houston over 45 points: Both of these defenses are, um, not good. The Rams' offensive weaponry is well established. The Texans have some playmakers as well, in Domanick Davis and Andre Johnson. This number just looks low.
