(3-7) Denver Broncos @ Carolina Panthers (3-8)
Last week, the Carolina Panthers suffered their 8th defeat of the season away to the Baltimore Ravens (3-13). The loss means the Panthers sit bottom of the NFC South and I really can’t see them climbing up the table to be honest. As for Denver, they suffered their seventh loss of the season last week at home to fellow strugglers the Las Vegas Raiders (22-16). The loss means they sit bottom of their division as well. Overall, I am picking the Panthers. There’s no point predicting the Broncos to win games any more given how shambolic they’ve performed.
(7-3) Baltimore Ravens @ Jacksonville Jaguars (3-7)
The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming into Week 12 nicely rested after their bye week last time out. The Jags currently sit third in their division after 1 win in the last 5. As for Baltimore, they managed to pick up another victory last week at the expense of the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers currently sit top of the AFC North and they are also on a 4-game winning streak. Overall, I am going with the Ravens. Baltimore have looked very good when it comes to making sure they win games and I expect that to happen again on Sunday.
(5-5) Los Angeles Chargers @ Arizona Cardinals (4-7)
The Arizona Cardinals were stuffed in Mexico last Monday by division rivals San Francisco and I can’t see them recovering from that when it comes to getting into the playoffs. The Cardinals currently sit third in the NFC West. As for LA, they suffered a loss at home to division rivals Kansas City and I’m pretty much certain that that puts an end to the Chargers winning the AFC West. They currently sit second in the AFC West with some work to do if they want to make the playoffs. Overall, I am going to say that the Chargers win this game. Both teams are struggling at the moment and to be honest, both teams are having pretty disappointing seasons. However, I think the Chargers are the more likely team to make the playoffs which is why I am picking them to win this football contest.
(3-7) Las Vegas Raiders @ Seattle Seahawks (6-4)
The Seattle Seahawks spent their bye week watching San Francisco take their position at the top of the NFC West. However, ask any Seattle fan at the start of the season if they would take being 6-4 coming out of the bye and nearly all of them would say yes. They’ve got seven more weeks to pull off an incredible story. As for the Las Vegas Raiders, they picked up their first road victory of the season last time out when they went to Denver. That win also means the Raiders are no longer occupying the bottom spot in the AFC West. Overall, I am going with the Seahawks in this one. They are the much better team and it would be very disappointing if they ended up losing this one.
(3-7) Los Angeles Rams @ Kansas City Chiefs (8-2)
Last time out, the Kansas City Chiefs went to LA to play division rivals the Chargers and they managed to pick up the win (30-27). The Chiefs are currently on a 4-game winning streak and they look in a great position to win the AFC West. As for the Rams, their slim hopes of making the playoffs were pretty much ended last week when they lost to the New Orleans Saints (20-27). Of course, there is still time for them to turn it around, but I just can’t see it happening as they currently sit bottom of the NFC West on the back of 4 defeats. Overall, I am going with the Chiefs. I am 98% confident that this prediction is right but the bigger question for me is how much do Kansas win this game. Do they nick it late or will they pummel the reigning Super Bowl Champions?
(4-7) New Orleans Saints @ San Francisco 49ers (6-4)
The San Francisco 49ers are really starting to find their groove right now. That was showcased last week when they went to Mexico and left the Arizona Cardinals in the dust (38-10). The Niners are on a 3-game winning streak which now sees them sitting in first place in the NFC West. As for New Orleans, they picked up an important win at home to the Los Angeles Rams last week (27-20). They currently sit third in the NFC South but that win last week means they’re not a million miles away from a potential spot in the playoffs. Overall, I am picking the 49ers to get the victory in this one. I think the Saints will prove a threat to San Fran but in the end, I think the Niners will be just too good for New Orleans.
(4-7) Green Bay Packers @ Philadelphia Eagles (9-1)
The Philadelphia Eagles made sure they got back to winning ways last week in Indianapolis (17-16) but boy did the Colts make them work for it. The win means the Eagles keep their slight gap at the top of both the NFC East and the whole of the NFC in general. As for Green Bay, they suffered a loss at home to the Titans which has left their playoff hopes on a knife-edge. The Packers currently sit third in the NFC North. Overall, I am going with the Eagles. I could genuinely see both of these teams winning this game but, in the end, the Eagles are the more reliable pick.
(3-7) Pittsburgh Steelers @ Indianapolis Colts (4-6-1)
The Indianapolis Colts came close to pulling off a shock victory against the Philadelphia Eagles but in the end, they just couldn’t quite get over the line. The Colts currently sit second in the AFC South, but I can’t see them challenging for a spot in the playoffs. As for Pittsburgh, they suffered a loss against the Cincinnati Bengals which basically ends any hopes of making the playoffs (if there were any). The Steelers currently sit bottom of the AFC North and they are probably just hoping for the best possible draft pick at this point. Overall, I am going to go with the Colts. I don’t usually do this, but I do feel that this is a game that they can win. I wouldn’t expect this to be a game of much quality.
