NFL Week 12 Picks
A full plate of picks, after taking it easy on Turkey Day.
Cincinnati -8.5 vs. Oakland: There is considerable difference of opinion on this one, but I don't think the 'Carson Palmer revenge factor' is worth very much.
Indianapolis -2.5 vs. Buffalo: These team are very much going in opposite directions, and I will take the one on the upswing playing at home, thanks.
Baltimore -1 at San Diego: The Ravens are quite mediocre on the road, but the Chargers have packed it in for the season. The annual Norv Turner Deathwatch continues. Fans hope the implosion also takes out their general manager. I want the under 47 points total as well.
Green Bay +3 at New York Giants: I don't think it would surprise anyone if last year's Giants showed up after their bye week and beat the Packers. On the other hand, I don't think many people would be surprised if the Pack stole a game they didn't deserve to win, just like they did last week in Detroit.
Oh yes, there will be teasers. We're taking all four three-team combinations of the following games:
Cincinnati -2.5
Cleveland +7.5 vs. Pittsburgh
St. Louis +8 at Arizona
Green Bay +8.5
