Eagles
Week 12 NFL Picks
By Denny Basens, Sports Talk Philly staff writer
Arizona at Atlanta
The Cardinals have been struggling for some time now, and it doesn't seem likely that a road matchup with the rested Falcons will be a cure for their woes.
Pick: Atlanta 30, Arizona 24
Cincinnati at Baltimore
With key skill positions lost to injury, the Bengals continue their implosion.
Pick: Baltimore 23, Cincinnati 14
Jacksonville at Buffalo
The only thing the Jaguars are good for these days are garbage time points for fantasy football teams.
Pick: Buffalo 24, Jacksonville 14
Tennessee at Chicago
With Matt Barkley in play, the Bears may actually be worse than the winless Cleveland Browns right now.
Pick: Tennessee 31, Chicago 10
New York at Cleveland
Speaking of the Browns, they're still not winning a game any time soon.
Pick: New York 27, Cleveland 17
San Diego at Houston
Slight edge to the Texans at home in a battle of up-and-down, mediocre AFC franchises.
Pick: Houston 23, San Diego 20
San Francisco at Miami
Another week, another blowout loss for Chip Kelly. He's in real danger of being one-and-down in San Francisco, and then never seen or heard from again in the NFL.
Pick: Miami 31, San Francisco 20
Los Angeles at New Orleans
Mismatch of the week? Drew Brees vs. Jared Goff. Saints roll at home.
Pick: New Orleans 27, Los Angeles 13
Seattle at Tampa Bay
The Bucs are too young to take on one of the top two teams in the NFC.
Pick: Seattle 27, Tampa Bay 16
New England at New York
Even as the Patriots deal with some injury problems, the Jets are too much of a mess to seriously challenge them.
Pick: New England 30, New York 17
Carolina at Oakland
The Super Bowl Hangover is real. I don't see the up-and-down Panthers going across the country and knocking off a Raiders team that has been playing very well all season.
Pick: Oakland 23, Carolina 17
Kansas City at Denver
Andy Reid just hasn't been able to get over the hump against the Broncos, and I don't see that changing this weekend.
Pick: Denver 24, Kansas City 16
Green Bay at Philadelphia
The Eagles have been strong at home, but they're now down to their third right tackle, and sooner or later a great quarterback like Aaron Rodgers is going to put a stop to the losing streak his team has been on.
Pick: Green Bay 31, Philadelphia 20
