Week 12 in the NFL

Damn, last week was brutal. Late games did me wrong (Note to self: Never bet against Football Jesus). I think I’m still in the plus for the season so far. Turkey day means Thursday football. So here are my picks:

Miami -2.5 At Detroit

I just don’t get John Kitna. Cost me a W this week with a gaudy 6 points. Harrington throwing a lot and the Dolphins has covered 3 straight weeks. Fins will cover.

Tampa Bay At Dallas -11

The Cowgirls are finally playing Parcell’s D. Big D covers against the Rice-less Bucs.

Denver At Kansas City -1

The Broncos haven’t covered in a while. At Arrowhead, they won’t again. KC wins it by 3.

Jacksonville -3 At Buffalo

Jags are the strangest team in the AFC. And this may as well be pick ‘em. Losing Darius will mean a big game for Lee Evans and Losman. Jags Def. are mediocre away from home. Bills win 2nd straight.

Houston At NY Jets -6

Penny and the Jets will rebound at home against the Texans.

Pittsburgh At Baltimore -3

Big Ben and the Steelers are mounted a run, perhaps. Baltimore is not an easy place to win, unless you’re the Thundercats. Steelers pull a minor upset, 16-13.

Cincinnati -3 At Cleveland

So this is what happens when you throw long…to 85…a lot. Marvin Lewis a good coach? I think not. But the Bungals get one in the backyard brawl.

Arizona At Minnesota -6

Zona has decent defensive parts. But losing Berry is huge. He’s perhaps the most underrated pass rusher in the game. Fitzgerald will get back into the game. They won’t win, but take Zona.

San Francisco At St. Louis -5.5

All of the sudden, the 49ers are the team to beat in their conference. Gore is the next big thing not named LT. San Fran by 10.

New Orleans At Atlanta -3

I thought about trying out for a DB position for the Falcons. Then I realized that the Falcons are bunch of losers. Vick is the worst QB in the league. Yes, that’s right, the WORST. He has an O-line that cut-blocks with the best of them, 3 1st round WRs, Warrick Dunn’s 1200 yards, and Alge. You telling me that he can’t consistently get to the playoffs? Here’s an idea Mora Jr., START SCHAUB! Not that I care. Ain’ts by 21.

Carolina -4.5 At Washington NO PICK

Incidentally, 4.5 point against the Skins is an insult. Go Cats!

Chicago At New England -3

Matchup of the week, hands down. You will see the Pats do something that no one in the league dare to do, run the ball against Da Bears. And they will have success. Marony will go for 150 and a TD. .

Philadelphia At Indianapolis -9.5

Without Donovan, the Eagles are toast. Indoor, Westbrook will be effective, but Garcia won’t be (see his years in the Silverdome). Indy covers.

NY Giants -3 At Tennessee

I don’t see Eli sucking for another game, especially against the Titans. Titans will run all over the Giants. But in the end, Tiki will be the difference. Giants gets their 7th win.

Oakland At San Diego -13

Never again will I defy our lord and savior. FJ and the Natural (LT) by 3TDs.

Green Bay At Seattle -10

Favre is dinged up on Monday night, take the Packers.

There it is, my week 12 picks. I’d also like to comment on the whole Chucky situation. CHUCK HIM! That’s all, thank you and happy Turkey Day.
