Pickin' Week 12 (Wizbang Sports)

Turkey Day games. Is there anything better than a nice tryptophan-snooze in front of a TV? Home teams are underlined. Picks are straight up, no spread crap (I don't gamble).

Detroit over Green Bay. Packers are gonna lose a couple more games this year. Here's one of them.

Dallas over New York Jets. The Jets squeaked one out against Pittsburgh. Not happening this week.

Indianapolis over Atlanta. Indy may have injury problems, but they still have more than enough to beat the Falcons.

Cleveland over Houston. The Browns may need another crazy bouncing field goal but they'll get this one.

Jacksonville over Buffalo. Buffalo's spunky but they're not ready to play with the big boys yet.

Kansas City over Oakland. The Chiefs need to find some consistency or their playoff hopes will disappear.

New York Giants over Minnesota. The Giants should have no problem dealing with the Peterson-less Vikings.

St. Louis over Seattle. The Rams are poised for a crazy run. Maybe 8 straight after starting 0-8? It could happen.

Tampa Bay over Washington. The Redskins are about done I think. Tampa can take control of the NFC South.

New Orleans over Carolina. Hard to figure the Saints. Carolina plain has no offense.

Tennessee over Cincinnati. This is the sort of game the Bengals should rise up and win for pride's sake. They won't.

Arizona over San Francisco. The Cardinals go over .500 this late in the season? Is it getting chilly in hell?

San Diego over Baltimore. Neither team is very inspiring at this point. The Chargers are pretty good at home though.

Denver over Chicago. I'm going to cross my fingers on Denver having finally put something together. That division is there to be taken if they want to take it. The Bears are on life-support.

New England over Philadelphia. The line on this one is 23 1/2. No joke. Without McNabb this could get ugly.

Pittsburgh over Miami. The Steelers rebound after being humbled by the Jets. Ricky's going to play for the Dolphins?

Without McNabb is the only ... (Below threshold)

Clancy:

Without McNabb is the only way Eagles have a chance to beat the line. They could even win it if Reed gets 'injured' early in the first half and can't coach...

And Tampa over Washington? After the way Washington played against the boys last week?

Finally - I'm taking Green Bay and Cinci to win, but otherwise agree with your picks.
