A belated Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

WEEK TWELVE

Saturday Line ~ NYP/MGM

Giants -6 BENGALS

Tough luck for the Bengals, losing QB Joe Burrow. Giants are coming off a bye week. They have a new offensive line coach. The team seems ready to go through walls for Joe Judge.

Loss 19-17 Giants

Dolphins -7 JETS

I don't like this spread one bit. The Fish crashed their party wagon last week in Denver. Jets can keep things close now that they have receivers at the QB's disposal. Sam Darnold may play, or not. Either way, I think the Dolphins do enough with FitzMagic at the ready just in case Tua's game goes awry.

WIN 20-3 Dolphins

Raiders -3 FALCONS

The Raiders very nearly upset the Chiefs and play very well on the road. Good game for them to get back on track.

Loss 43-6 Falcons

Cardinals -1 1/2 PATRIOTS

Cardinals are in crunch time. They need wins. Patriots couldn't stop Kyler Murray.

Loss 20-17 Patriots

Browns -6 1/2 JAGUARS

No frills football; running game and defense should get the Brownies through.

Loss 27-25 Browns

VIKINGS -3 1/2 Panthers

In a nod to parity, I dub this game Toilet Bowl XII. Christian McCaffery is still out and the Vikings still run the ball very well. It might keep Teddy Bridgewater off the field just enough. Truth is I flipped a coin ..

Loss 28-27 Vikings

Titans +3 COLTS

Great division clash. Colts took the first match-up; the Titans will take the second. Smash Mouth!

WIN 45-26 Titans

BILLS -5 Chargers

Chargers must learn how to finish. They should have more wins than their record reflects. Bills lost a tough game against the Cardinals. Buffalo has all the motivation, Bolts not so much.

WIN 27-17 Bills

Saints -6 BRONCOS

Still not sure what the Saints pulled off last week. Look for them to do it again.

WIN 31-3 Saints

Niners +6 1/2 RAMS

Niners are coming off a long break and the Rams are coming off a short week. I still say the Rams are a paper tiger.

WIN 23-20 Niners

Chiefs -3 BUCS

The Bucs ship appears to have sprung a leak. Everyone overlooks the Chiefs defense.

PUSH 27-24 Chiefs

PACKERS -8 1/2 Bears

Only the Jets and Giants have scored less than the Bears. A ten-point win is not unrealistic.
