Week 12 in the NFL....

Last week 8-6 and season total now 95-65. My Beat the Insiders picks for Thanksgiving have me at 2-1 for this weekend. Let's see if we can improve on that. Bengals at home against the Browns. Bengals win. My upset special has the Jacksonville Jaguars at home against the ailing Texans. Look for the Jag defense to take advantage of Matt Lienert who has yet to prove he can play with the big boys. Jags win. The Rams are at home again this time against the lowly Cardinals. If  Spagnola can't win this one, he may be out before the teams exit the field. Rams win. Jets vs Buffalo....Must win for both...Jets get the advantage at home. Jets win. Tampa Bay at Tennessee also an interesting match up as the Bucs with a lot of promise have disappointed in the last several weeks. They are better than the Titans and should win. Bucs win a close one. As much as I would like to see the Colts win, they just haven't shown the ability to overcome adversity. Panthers win in Indy. Colts remain winless. Atlanta is at home again against the Vikings. With Adrian Peterson a possible last minute scratch, the Falcons are getting a break. Falcons need this one more. Falcons win. Raiders at home against Chicago. Bears will try to run the ball with Forte. That will be their only hope. Raiders win this one. What happened to the Redskins? The Seahawks are at home and the Redskins must travel cross country. Seattle wins. Broncos at San Diego....Broncos win another behind the running of Tebow plus a few good passes. Patriots at Philly. Pats too much and will win this one. Steelers at Kansas City...Chiefs with their newly acquired QB Kyle Orton. Can Orton play today? Maybe, but it still won't be enough to beat the Steeler "D". Pittsburgh wins. Finally, Monday Night has the home town Saints entertaining the Giants. Saints should have another repeat of 2009. This is the final stretch for the Saints and they know if they want that second seed they can't afford another loss. Saints win. That's where I stand...How about you? Have a great weekend.
