Broncos-Steelers and Week 12 Picks

The Broncos return to Mile High on the heels of a wild, comeback win over the Steelers. At 4-6, the Broncos actually have some life in their season. The Steelers are rolling st 7-2-1, and they look like they are threats again in the AFC. This will take everything the Broncos can throw at them: Momentum, crowd noise, color rush uniforms, and that still might be enough to beat the Steelers. I think it’s a close game for awhile, but I think the Steelers take care of business and beat the Broncos.


Pittsburgh (-3) over DENVER
Final Score: Steelers-27 Broncos-13


Last Week's Record: 6-7-0
Overall Record: 78-72-8
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

Now, onto the picks for Week 12.........

Jacksonville (-3) over BUFFALO: The Jags have lost six in a row, but I think they break the losing streak with a win over the Bills in Buffalo.

CINCY (-3) over Cleveland: I want to pick Cleveland to pull the upset, but I think the Bengals will get back on track at home. I expect a close game, but I think the Bengals will pull away in the 4th quarter.

New England (-7) over NY JETS: The Pats had a week off to think about their awful performance against Tennessee two weeks ago. They will handle their business and dispatch the Jets rather easily.

PHILLY (-6) over NY Giants: The Giants have won two in a row, and the Eagles are struggling at 4-6. I think Philly will get it going this week and make easy work of the Giants at home.

TAMPA BAY (-3) over San Francisco: This is a tough game to watch and get into. In any event, take the Bucs laying three at home.

CAROLINA (-3) over Seattle: Very good game between two NFC playoff contenders. I think the Panthers get back on track after losing two in a row, and I think this game will be back and forth, but I'll go with Carolina to win it at home.

BALTIMORE (-9) over Oakland: The Ravens will be too much for the Raiders at home. It won't matter if Lamar Jackson or Joe Flacco starts. Either way, the Ravens roll.

LA CHARGERS (-11) over Arizona: The Chargers made so many mistakes last week in the loss to Denver. I think they rebound this week at home against the 2-8 Cardinals. They better.

INDY (-8) over Miami: The Colts are flying and at 5-5, they are legitimate playoff contenders. The Dolphins are 5-5, but they are not a playoff team. Look for Indy to continue their winning ways.

Green Bay (+5) over MINNESOTA: I think the Packers will play well on SNF, and they will keep this game close. I know a lot of people are off the Packers bandwagon, but I wouldn't count them out just yet.

Tennessee (+6) over HOUSTON: The Texans are due for a loss after winning seven straight games. I think this could be the week it happens.
