NFL 2021 Week 12 Picks
Wait, is this ….. A FULL-ON ARTICLE?! IT’S A THNKSGIVING DAY MIRACLE!!!
Yes, I’m on time for one of these things. Probably cause of having the time-off for this day and whatnot, but hey, I’ll take it. Ok, no more acting happy for myself. Let’s go with these picks.
Byes: KC, ARI
Thanksgiving Day Games
DET (+3) cover CHI [Bears 17, Lions 16]
Speaking of “finally”, I FINALLY GOT A LIONS SPREAD PICK RIGHT!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Only took till Week 11, and all at the cost of another close loss. This week, it’s the Thanksgiving Day spectacular …. or tragedy, as the Bears are here. Again. For the 3rd time in 4 Thanksgivings. Don’t ask why they do this. Just know they like to see you stuff your face as both teams get stuffed into not scoring points.
DAL (-7.5) over LV [Cowboys 31, Raiders 21]
Hey, the Raiders are failing again down the stretch, and they didn’t even need Gruden to help them do it. The Cowboys barely scored any points with their “Greatest offense”, vs. a shitty Chiefs defense last week. Now they face another shitty defense in the Raiders. Maybe it will change this week?
BUF (-6) over NO [Bills 28, Saints 17]
Is there anyone on the Saints’ offense who isn’t injured? Cause I can’t tell you who is playing for them. And now they get a Bills team who was beaten the fuck over by Wentz and the Colts. Makes for a perfect set-up for a Thanksgiving beatdown.
Sunday Games
TEN (+6.5) cover NE [Patriots 24, Titans 20]
This is a Titans team that has beaten the Rams, Bills, and Chiefs. This is also a Titans team who has lost to the Texans and Jets. So, pick your poison, as they are facing a ….. good team in the Patriots. Can Belichick just die already?
PHI (-3.5) over NYG [Eagles 27 Giants 22]
The Eagles are 5-6. And their next 5 opponents, including this game, are: @Giants, @Jets, WFT, Giants, @WFT. Yeah, they may be 10-6 at the end of this.
IND (+3) over TB [Colts 34, Bucs 31]
NYJ (+2.5) over HOU [Jets 20, Texans 18]
Two extremely different games, both are Upset picks. The Colts cause they are hot, and playing a very bad Bucs’ defense (well, other than when facing the Giants). And the Jets cause BAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRFFF!!!! OH GOD WHY?! STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME!!
CAR (-2) over MIA [Panthers 27, Fins 21]
ATL (-1) over JAX [Falcons 37, Jags 30]
You know what, both of these have potentially to be either fun games against shitty teams, or STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME!! potential. I think the ATL/JAX one is the former, as they both can’t play defense. I think the CAR/MIA game is the latter, cause it’s $Cam vs. banged-up Tua.
PIT (+4.5) cover CIN [Bengals 26, Steelers 24]
What a wild finish to that Steelers/Chargers game last week. Chargers blew a big lead, Steelers got the lead, then blew it right back. Doesn’t matter to me, cause I took the Steelers points. But maybe they can do it again vs. a faulting Bengals team. You know, with the W for the Yinzer crowd.
LAC (-2.5) over DEN [Chargers 24, Broncos 17]
Remember when the Broncos beat the Cowboys a couple weeks back, and everyone thought this was what was needed for the Ponies to turn a corner and have them start winning again? Yeah….
MIN (+3) over SF [Vikings 30, Niners 24]
Another Upset of the Week, based on spreads. Cause I really can’t figure these two teams out, so I’ll take the one who beat a good team last week.
LAR (+1) over GB [Rams 31, Packers 27]
So betting lines have no idea what to do here. I seen Rams by 1.5, to Packers by 2, to this being a pick ’em. All I know is this is a Stafford vs. Rodgers battle once more, and as you have to for these big games, you always go with the better QB in this one 🙂
BAL (-3.5) over CLE [Ravens 28, Browns 20]
Hey, the Ravens beat the Bears last week without Lamar. The Browns nearly lost last week to the Lions 3rd-string QB. Who do you think I’m picking here?
SEA (+1) over WAS [Seahawks 24, WFT 22]
Should we actually be seeing the Re-skins on Thanksgiving? Maybe, it is (kinda?) a holiday for them. Should we be seeing them this Monday vs. the Seahawks? Absolutely not. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME!!
