The Broncos had a bye last week, and at 5-5 they are still in the hunt for a wild card spot in the AFC as they begin the home stretch of their season. You would think that coming off a bye at home that the Broncos would play well and have a really good chance of beating the Chargers. Unfortunately, the Broncos have not been consistent at all this season. This week they have to somehow find a way to stop Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense. I can't see Denver slowing Herbert down and I can't see them matching score for score with LA. Look for another disappointing outcome at home for the Broncos.
Prediction: Chargers (-3) over DENVER
Final Score: Chargers-41 Broncos-17
Last Week's Record: 6-8-1
Overall Record: : 79-76-9
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
Now, onto the picks for Week 12........
Tampa Bay (-2) over INDIANAPOLIS: The Colts are 5-5 after a big win over the Bills last week. The Bucs are 7-3 and in control of the NFC South. Big game for both teams, but I like the Bucs to win this won on the road.
Philadelphia (-4) over GIANTs: The Giants are 3-7 and fired Jason Garrett, their offensive coordinator this week, and they host the surging Eagles, who are 5-6. I see Philly continuing their winning ways and evening their record at 6-6.
Carolina (-1) over MIAMI: At 5-6, the Panthers are still in the mix for a wild card spot in the NFC. Cam Newton coming back has given them a boost. The Dolphins are 4-7 and have won three straight. I think the Panthers find a way to win this game and get to 6-6.
Pittsburgh (+5) over CINCINNATI: The Bengals are 6-4 after a big road win in Vegas last week. The Steelers are 5-4-1 after a tough loss to Chargers in LA. The Bengals won the first meeting in Pittsburgh earlier in the year, and I think they sweep the season series with a win at home this week.
Tennessee (+6) over NEW ENGLAND: The Patriots are 7-4 and winners of five straight. Now, everyone is back on the Patriots bandwagon, and everyone is back to kissing Bill Belichick and his rings. The Titans head to Foxboro with an 8-3 record, but lost a bad game to Houston last week. I think this will be close. I don't know if Tennessee wins, but I think it is close.
JACKSONVILLE (PICK) over Atlanta: I'll take the Jags at home in a game that isn't very watchable.
Jets (+3) over HOUSTON: I'll take the Jets on the road and the points in another unwatchable game.
GREEN BAY (-1) over Rams: I like the Packers to rebound from last week's loss to the Vikings, and I think they will respond here with a win at home over the Rams. Big game for both teams, who will be in the playoffs in the NFC.
Minnesota (+3) over SAN FRANCISCO: The Vikings have life again and at 5-5, they are right in the middle of the wild card picture. The Niners are now 5-5 and have revived their season as well. This is such a huge game for both teams. I like the Vikings ever so slightly.
BALTIMORE (-3) over Cleveland: The Browns are 6-5 but they barely beat the Lions last week. Baker Mayfield is beat up and
Seattle (-1) over WASHINGTON: The Seahawks are having a down year at 3-7, and this could be the end of their run. Washington is 4-6, so they are not out of it in the NFC. I think Seattle gets to 4-7 with a win on Monday Night Football.
