2023 Week 12 Picks

 According to Adam Schefter, the NFL is hoping to avoid this becoming the fifth straight week

that a starting quarterback has suffered a season-ending injury. Kirk Cousins ruptured his Achilles in Week 8, Daniel Jones tore his ACL in Week 9, Deshaun Watson fractured his shoulder in Week 10, and Joe Burrow tore a wrist ligament in Week 11.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Indianapolis Colts (-2.5) - The Bucs looked sloppy against the 49ers but so far the whole league does.   They could contend with the Colts although Indianapolis is coming off a bye.

New England Patriots @ New York Giants (+3)-  Tommy Devito looked solid against the Commanders.   The Patriots appear to have thrown in the towel.  Draft positioning could be an important in this one.  

Pittsburgh Steelers (-1)(LOCK) @ Cincinnati Bengals-  The Steelers are likely to take advantage of Browning's lack of experience at the quarterback position.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texan (+1.5) - An important divisional game for both teams  The Jaguars are coming off an impressive victory although the Texans look like they are making a challenge for a postseason spot.  .  

New Orleans Saints (-1) @ Atlanta Falcons-  The Falcons are going back to Desmond Ridder.  Maybe Ridder got better spending some time on the bench although the evidence remains to be seen if he can beat a good New Orleans defense.  

Los Angeles Rams @ Arizona Cardinals (+1)-  The Rams appeared to regain some of its spar in last weeks win while the Cardinals offense has been a roll since Kyler Murray came back.   

Cleveland Browns @ Denver Broncos (-2.5)(LOCK) -  The Broncos look like a much better team over the last few weeks, of what is to be expected of a Sean Payton coach lead tea.  Russell Wilson even looks like a competent starting quarterback.

Buffalo Bills @ Philadelphia Eagles (-3) -  The Eagles' defense did it is part in slowing down the Chiefs offense.   The Bills do have a better receivers to throw at the Eagles while Jalen Hurts will try to do get it going. 

Baltimore Ravens (-3.5) @ Los Angeles Chargers- The Ravens offense should get it going against the Chargers defense who haven't been able to slow it down this season.  

Kansas City Chiefs @ Las Vegas Raiders (+9)- The Chiefs are looking to overcome a loss to the Eagles, while the Raiders defense has been pretty frisky since Antonio Pierce has taken over.
