Week 12

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh: The Steelers could use a week off, as they are in the middle of tough stretch. But Cincinnati hasn't been making things easy on anybody. Ask Donovan McNabb. Steelers, 17-13.

Tampa Bay at Detroit: The Lions are going to win a game, eventually. But Tampa is too good. Bucs, 24-13.

New York Jets at Tennessee: The Jets have shown that they can play a complete game, and make big plays, but Tennessee should be able to negate some of their strengths. Titans, 20-16.

Buffalo at Kansas City: The Chiefs keep getting close to upsets, but the Bills need to turn things around. Bills, 27-20.

Chicago at St. Louis: Tempting to predict a Rams upset over the fading Bears, but they sure have looked bad the last few weeks. Bears, 21-17.

New England at Miami: Miami crushed New England last time, but Matt Cassel is playing pretty well, and the veteran Pats will find a way to win. Patriots, 31-27.

Minnesota at Jacksonville: Minnesota will have their starting defensive line, and they should neutralize the Jags running game. Vikings, 23-21.

Philadelphia at Baltimore: The Eagles are frustratingly inconsistent. The Ravens flat-out tough. Ravens, 20-17.

Houston at Cleveland: Cleveland is at least proving that they aren't horrible. Still a wasted season. Browns, 28-21.

San Francisco at Dallas: When I was 10-years-old this was the biggest match-up in the NFL. Not this week. Cowboys, 31-21.

Oakland at Denver: Always an exciting match-up, the Raiders defense might be able to keep this one close for a little while, but I always go with Jay Cutler. Broncos, 35-17.

Washington at Seattle: Washington needs to rebound from that tough loss to Dallas, and stay in the wildcard lead. Washington, 27-21.

New York Giants at Arizona: Maybe Kurt Warner can throw for 300 against his former team. Maybe he will also throw three picks. Giants, 28-24.

Carolina at Atlanta: NFC South match ups will be interesting from here on out. I like MAtt Ryan at home. Falcons, 24-17.

Indianapolis at San Diego: Indianapolis looks like they have figured things out. Too late to win the division, but in time to jump into the wildcard race. Colts, 31-20.

Green Bay at New Orleans: I think Green Bay's biggest asset is their pass defense, and this week they will get gauged.  Saints, 28-21.
