It’s week 12 of the NFL season. Some picks may seem unpopular, but they will be backed by stats and past events. This week of the NFL season is usually important because it determines who are real contenders in the playoffs and which teams may fall out of contention. This week is also important for teams fighting for a wild card spot that may be the start of a playoff run.

NFL Favorites to Win for Week 12:

Chicago Bears

    1. vs. Detroit Lions

      1. The Chicago Bears should dominate this game on the ground. Their rushing attack is superior to Lions’ rushing defense; however, Justin Fields may not play this week due to rib injuries suffered in the Baltimore Ravens loss,

per source

      1. .

The Lions play hard and their running back Deandre Swift has shown flashes, yet, this will not be enough to overcome the inefficiencies and weaknesses on their defense and special teams.

Buffalo Bills vs. New Orleans Saints

      1. The Buffalo Bills are the favorites because they are the superior team and have more experience on their side. Nonetheless, they are coming off an embarrassing loss to the red-hot Indianapolis Colts.

The Bills have hit a dry spot these past couple of weeks, but they will fix what they need to fix and let the NFL know they are contenders after this week.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Las Vegas Raiders

      1. The Dallas Cowboys are the favorites because they are coming off a tough loss to the hands of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Cheifs. In that game, the defense suffocated the Cowboys’ offense. This upcoming Sunday, the Cowboys have something to prove to the world. They will send a message to the Raiders.

The Raiders are inconsistent, their defense isn’t good enough to stop the explosiveness of this offense. They also are down several weapons on the road.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Indianapolis Colts

      1. Tom Brady and the

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

      1. matchup really well against the Colts. The Colts’ strength is their linebackers and ability to stop the run. However, The Bucs will proceed to throw the ball and expose their defensive backs.

The Bucs also will sprinkle in run plays that may shock many when they rattle off big gains throughout the game.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Falcons

      1. will be victorious after getting embarrassed two weeks in a row. The Falcons are better coached and have better production out their quarterback.

Not to mention, their defense is superior to the Jaguar’s defense. Therefore, the Jags will struggle to score points and as well to stop the Falcons from scoring.

Week 12 Upsets:

Cincinnati Bengals

    1. vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

      1. The Bengals seemed to have found their groove and the Steelers have struggled all year to put up points. The Bengals will score too many points for the Steelers to match on Sunday.

The Steelers’ defense is overrated and has yet to perform up to expectations going into the 2021 season.

Carolina Panthers vs. Miami Dolphins

      1. The Miami Dolphins will shock many people this Sunday. Cam Newton in these last two weeks has performed exceptionally. However, the Dolphins will have a full game to prepare and scout against his strengths.

This will make him less effective and that Panther offenses struggle to move the ball, especially after you take their best asset away.

Week 12 Stalemates:

New York Giants

    1. vs. Philadelphia Eagles

      1. If the Giants can score 15-20 points this game, they will be able to pull this game off. Due to that fact, the Eagles outside of Hurts don’t have many threats that can cause the Giants matchup problems.

Tennesse Titans vs New England Patriots

      1. Without Derrick Henry, the Titans will struggle to move the ball against one of the best defensive teams in the NFL. Finally, rookie quarterback, Mac Jones has finally come Into himself and is playing at an all-time high.

The Patriots will expose their lack of talent at the linebacker position by force-feeding running backs Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson.

New York Jets vs. Houston Texans

      1. The Jets finally get back rookie Zach Wilson and he brings a different aspect of threat to their offense that may give the Texans issues.

Los Angeles Chargers vs. Denver Broncos

    1. The Broncos have been given offensive teams issues all year. The Chargers also pass predominantly which is Denver’s strong suit. Their team is built to disrupt the quarterback and affect the passing game.
