2023 NFL Week 12 Preview and Predictions: Part 2

(2-8) New England Patriots @ New York Giants (3-8)


The New York Giants actually went and won in Washington last weekend, but they are still bottom of the NFC East with a poor 3-8 record. As for New England, they enter this game off the back of 3 losses and a Bye and they currently sit bottom of the AFC East with a terrible 2-8 record. In terms of my Prediction, I’m going to say The Patriots will win this game. Both of these teams are very poor and I’m simply backing New England because I feel like it!



(7-3) Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans (6-4)


In an important AFC South clash, the Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium. The Houston Texans made it 3 wins on the bounce last time out with a victory against the Arizona Cardinals and they currently sit second in the AFC South with a good 6-4 record. As for Jacksonville, they got back to winning ways in comfortable style in their last game (against the Tennessee Titans) and they currently lead the AFC South with a pretty good record of 7-3. In terms of my Prediction, I’m going to say that The Texans will beat The Jags. The reason for this is because Houston already beat Jacksonville earlier in the season, and if that happens again, the AFC South is all of a sudden right in the hands of the Houston Texans.



(7-3) Cleveland Browns @ Denver Broncos (5-5)


The Denver Broncos made it 4 wins on the spin last week with a 21-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings and they currently sit second in the AFC West at .500. As for Cleveland, they picked up an important win over Division Rivals Pittsburgh last time out and they are currently second in the AFC North with a pretty good 7-3 record. In terms of my Prediction, I think The Broncos will stretch their winning streak out to 5 games. The reason why is because Denver and Russell Wilson look really good right now whilst The Browns are struggling to even field a capable Quarterback.



(4-6) Los Angeles Rams @ Arizona Cardinals (2-9)


The Arizona Cardinals lost in Houston last weekend and they currently sit bottom of the NFC West with a poor 2-9 record. As for LA, they managed to beat the Seattle Seahawks last time out and they are currently third in the NFC West with a mediocre 4-6 record. In terms of my Prediction, I think The Cardinals will win this game. Even though The Rams were victorious last week, I still rate Arizona as the better team as long as they have Kyler Murray.



(7-3) Kansas City Chiefs @ Las Vegas Raiders (5-6)


The Las Vegas Raiders lost 20-13 in Miami last weekend and they currently find themselves third in the AFC West with a sub-par 5-6 record. As for Kansas City, they lost at home to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11, but they do still lead the AFC West as the only team with a positive record (7-3). In terms of my Prediction, I fully expect The Chiefs to bounce back this week. Really, Kansas have to go out and stuff The Raiders which should be doable.



(6-5) Buffalo Bills @ Philadelphia Eagles (9-1)


The Philadelphia Eagles take on the Buffalo Bills in what should be a really interesting game. The Philadelphia Eagles picked up a great win in Kansas City on last week’s Monday Night Football and they currently lead the NFC East with a near-perfect 9-1 record. As for Buffalo, they stuffed the New York Jets last time out and they currently sit second in the AFC East with an okay record of 6-5. In terms of my Prediction, I think The Eagles will definitely win this game. Whilst this is a big game for Philly, it’s an even bigger one for Buffalo as they need to pick up a massive victory at some point.



(8-3) Baltimore Ravens @ Los Angeles Chargers (4-6)


The Los Angeles Chargers suffered another disappointing defeat last week (at the hands of the Green Bay Packers) and they are currently bottom of the AFC West with a frustrating 4-6 record. As for Baltimore, they picked up a crucial win against Division Rivals Cincinnati in Week 11’s Thursday Night Football and they currently lead the AFC North with a pretty good 8-3 record. In terms of my Prediction, I think Baltimore should and will win this game. Given the way both teams are playing, this should be a lot easier for The Ravens than I would’ve expected at the start of the season.



(3-8) Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings (6-5)


The Minnesota Vikings’ winning streak came to an end last week (at the hands of the Denver Broncos) and they currently sit second in the NFC North with an okay 6-5 record. As for Chicago, they lost in Detroit last time out and they are currently bottom of the NFC North with a weak record of 3-8. In terms of my Prediction, I expect The Vikings will get back to winning ways quite comfortably. Realistically, The Vikings need and have to win this game if they’re to be taken seriously.
