NFL Week Twelve Picks
Disaster, predictably, has struck. My 0-5 result last week drops my season record to 32-21. Is it just one bad week, or a harbinger of things to come? Only one way to find out.
Kansas City +3 vs. Buffalo: These teams are moving in opposite directions; how the Bills are favored is beyond me.
New England +1.5 at Miami: The oddsmakers think that the Pats will lose two straight games in their division. They think that they will be swept by a team in their division. They think they will not exact revenge for an embarrassing home loss. Really? Really? Patriots, early and often.
Tampa Bay -7.5 at Detroit: Yes, the Lions are that bad. And then some.
Denver -9 vs. Oakland: Broncos Head Coach Skeletor enjoys nothing more than torturing the man who fired him. Since the Raiders haven't scored in thirteen quarters (not a typo), Denver doesn't have to do much to cover.
Indianapolis +2.5 at San Diego: Make no mistake, the Chargers MUST win this game. They might even figure out a way to do that, but it is not likely against a resurgent Colts team.
