Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans
The Texans looked like one of the top teams within the NFL taking on a divisional opponent who has looked the opposite. The Titans are ranked 29th in the ESPN power rankings this week having a hard time with quarterback play. The Texans are led by 2nd year quarterback CJ Stroud who hasn’t had quite the season he had last year but is still playing good football no matter what. It would be stupid to say the Texans fall to the Titans, but upsets can happen just not in this game.
Final Score Prediction: Texans 48, Titans 13
Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears
The Vikings started the season off 6-0, but lost two straight after but have righted the ship with winning their last three. The Vikings still hope to win the division over the Lions. The Vikings have had surprisingly good quarterback play from Sam Darnold. While on the other side, the Bears are last in the NFC North hoping and needing a divisional win over the Vikings. I would have to assume the Vikings win this North showdown to keep them in high hopes of winning the division.
Final Score Prediction: Vikings 24, Bears 13
Dallas Cowboys at Washington Commanders
The Cowboys having arguably one of their worst seasons so far, and being second to last within the NFC East. The Cowboys have struggled in multiple aspects through this season, from Dak being out for the year even to missed touchdowns due to the sun in their receiver’s eye at home. On the other side the Commanders are one of the surprises this season led by Jayden Daniels. Daniels seems to have been the shining hope Washington fans needed as they fight and compete to win the division over the Eagles. With how both teams have played this season I’d be dumb to not pick the Commanders to win in amazing fashion.
Final Score Prediction: Commanders 26, Cowboys 9
New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins are really having a down year compared to expectations due to quarterback issues and being in a division that looks like no competition to the Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins hope to beat the Patriots for some hope to make a wild card spot. The Patriots have been playing much better since putting in Drake Maye as quarterback.. I definitely see this game being extremely close and coming down to the wire. In the end, I would take the Patriots to win based on the teams they have beat vs teams the Dolphins have beat.
Final Score Prediction: Patriots 17, Dolphins 10
Kansas City Chiefs at Carolina Panthers
The Chiefs starting off undefeated looking to win a 3rd super Bowl in a row hope to destroy the Panthers who are one of the more looked down upon teams these last couple seasons. The Chiefs are coming off the loss at Buffalo but still control their destiny for the #1 seed and only bye in the Wild Card round.I understand how crazy this sounds but due to the Chiefs more than likely getting too cocky during this match up, I’d have my money on the Panthers pulling off an amazing and unpredictable upset.
Final Score Prediction: Panthers 27, Chiefs 23
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New York Giants
Baker Mayfield hopes to fly past the Giants, who are starting Tommy Devito and who are arguably the worst team this season. The Bucs have had some tough games this season but hope to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Giants fell short in almost every game this season. The Giants are looking for anything positive these days, but this week will be one of the greater challenges they have felt all season. I’d feel wrong not taking the Bucs to win this game in great fashion.
Final Score Prediction: Bucs 36, Giants 20
Detroit Lions at Indianapolis Colts
The Lions look like the best team in the league and have their eyes on home field advantage in the playoffs. On the other side The Colts have not had the most impressive season, sitting in the middle of their division hoping they can take the south from the Texans, but it is not looking hopeful. The Colts have switched between Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco all season, although Richardson will be the quarterback for the rest of the way. I honestly don’t see the Lions losing another game this season so I’d have to go with the Lions in a huge game vs the Colts.
Final Score Prediction: Lions 49, Colts 26
Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders
The Broncos are doing better than people imagined this season taking on a division rival the Raiders who have been terrible this season. The Raiders gave fans some hope beating the Ravens all the way back in week 2 but besides that win nothing else the Raiders have done has stood out besides losing to the Panthers early on this season. While on the other side the Broncos with rookie quarterback Bo Nix are a potential playoff team as of week 11. The Broncos and Raiders met back in week 5 where the Broncos won by 16 points. Based on that, I would have to take the Broncos to complete the sweep in Las Vegas.
Final Score Prediction: Broncos 27, Raiders 16
Arizona Cardinals at Seattle seahawks
The Cardinals are surprising everyone being the NFC West leaders in a division where everyone assumed the 49ers would win. Kyler Murray is starting to really show the NFL that he is a good quarterback who can win the tough games. While on the other side the Seahawks, Rams and 49ers are just a game behind,. meaning if the Seahawks win they can take the division from the Cardinals. Based on what I have seen from both teams I would have to take the Cardinals to win and keep the West running through Arizona.
Final Score Prediction: Cardinals 23, Seahawks 17
San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers
A beautiful game that is a rematch from the NFC Divisional playoff round last season.For this week 12 matchup, the Packers definitely want to prove that they are better this year and can beat the 49ers. While the 49ers are hoping to get a win to move up within the NFC West as they are in a 3 way tie and ranked in 4th. The Packers are looking good in 3rd in the NFC North with a winning record and in the playoffs as of week 11. This game is definitely going to be one of the best games this week. In this matchup, I would definitely take the Packers to get their revenge over the 49ers.
Final Score Prediction: Packers 30, 49ers 23
Philadelphia Eagles at Las Angeles Rams
The Eagles have fixed most of their problems that made them crumble last season and are looking hot this year. Saquon Barkley is one of the key auditions to the team The Eagles have been explosive on both sides of the ball and will definitely want to win this game vs the Rams to continue their quest to catch the Lions for the number 1 seed and home field advantage. On the other side the Rams are surprisingly in the playoff hunt themselves. If the Rams could pull off this upset it would help them but based on what I’ve seen so far I would definitely take the Eagles over the Rams in a high scoring game.
Final Score Prediction: Eagles 38, Rams 30
Baltimore Ravens at Las Angeles Chargers
The Ravens have looked both great and bad at the same time this season but have struggled against the good teams. The Ravens need this win after losing to the Steelers to try to take the North back from Pittsburgh. Same thing with the Chargers looking like a good team this season with a clear path to the playoffs. Both teams needed this win for rankings. In the end I would have to take the Ravens in this AFC battle.
Final Score Prediction: Ravens 41, Chargers 38
