NFL Week 12 Gobble! Gobble!

The Turkey Day Box score:

1. Packers beat the Lions 34-12 (right)

2. Cowboys beat the Raiders 24-7 (right)

3. Broncos beat the Giants 26-6 (wrong)

I picked the Packers to beat the Lions, the Cowboys to beat the Raiders, and the Giants to beat the Broncos. I went 2-1 in these Turkey Day picks.

Now to continue on with the Sunday match ups...

1.Buccaneers @ Falcons- The Buccaneers only win this season came against the Packers in Week 9. The Bucs are 0-4 on the road this year. For all you fantasy owners out there make sure you stick Falcons receiver Roddy White out there. He is due for a huge game against a terrible team. If your having a tough decision on who to start as your Tight End as a fantasy perspective I would say start Kellen Winslow. He has 5 TD's this year for the lowly Bucs.

2.Dolphins @ Bills- The Bills have to stop the running game in order to be successful. They have the 2nd worst run defense in the league. Since RB Ronnie Brown went down with injury Ricky Williams has made an instant impact for the Dolphins. From a fantasy view start Williams with confidence. Lets see if TO can have another big game for the Bills. He had a huge game last week with 197 yards and a TD. Dolphins win.

3.Browns @ Bengals- Raiders fans had something to celebrate about last week. They actually beat a very good team! The Bengals need to rebound after that tough loss to the Raiders last week. And of course its always nice when you play the Browns, they simply fail. Bengals for the win.

4.Seahawks @ Rams- Both teams are terrible. Rams QB Marc Bulger will be on the sideline for this game. So they will need backup Kyle Boller to step it up. If the Rams offensive line plays well look for Stephen Jackson to have another memorable game. I like the Rams to win this one against the Seahawks.


5.Panthers @ Jets- Both teams stand at 4-6. The Jets started the season 3-0 but have one win to show for it since. Meanwhile the Panthers lost a close game last week to the Dolphins 24-17. The Panthers will need a big game from Steve Smith who has 3 TD's in the past 2 games. The Jets need Mark Sanchez to turn it around after throwing 4 picks last week against New England. Expect Jets RB Thomas Jones to have another remarkable game. Im gona pick the Jets to come out with a win.


6.Redskins @ Eagles- With RB's Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts injured, the skins will look to Rock Cartwright to get the majority of the carries. If the skins have any chance to win this game there going to have to shut down Eagles receiver Desean Jackson. He had a big game against them in Week 7. Since 2001 the Skins are 6-11 against the Eagles. Make that 6-12 after this one. Fly Eagles Fly!

7.Arizona @ Tennesse- Here come those Titans! After starting the year 0-6 they have won 4 in a row to move there record to 4-6. Tennessee RB Chris Johnson is having a remarkable season, if the season ended today he would get my vote as the MVP of the league. His 1,242 yds and 8 TD's lead the NFL. Not only is Johnson smoking right now, but QB Vince Young has gotten his team back into the playoff picture. However, Anquan Boldin may have something to say to the Titans this week. Look for him to have another 100 yard game with another TD or two. I like the red hot Titans in this match up against the Cardinals.

8.The Unbeaten Colts @ Texans- Can the Texans be the first team to beat the undefeated Colts this season? The answer is no. Despite Peyton Manning being so inconsistent these last couple of weeks he's due for a big game. Colts RB Joseph Addai is a freak when he is in the red zone. He has scored all of his TD's there this season. However, he has a minor knee injury going into this game. All of you fantasy owners, make sure you have depth at the RB position just in case Addai can't go. Look for him to score once maybe even twice this game if he is healthy. Colts receiver Reggie Wayne didn't do much in the Colts and Texans last meeting which was Week 9. However fantasy owners don't be a moron. Forget about what Wayne did the last time he played the Texans, and punch him in your lineup. He is going to score... This game is going to be close. I'm gona say within single digits. Colts win!

9.Chiefs @ Chargers- LT is back in action! Chargers fans can only hope he can stay healthy for the rest of the season. There going to need this guy for the playoffs. The Chiefs pulled off an upset against the defending champion Steelers last week. However the Chargers will bring out the Flood Gates against the Chiefs. Chargers win!

10.Jaguars @ 49ers- Fantasy alert! 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree and Jags receiver Mike Sims- Walker should have big games on Sunday for there respective teams. San Fran RB Frank Gore and Jags RB Maruice Jones Drew will both rush for over 100 yards. I like Jags QB David Garrard in this one over the youngster Alex Smith. Jags win.

11.Bears @ Vikings- Jay Cutler's first year with the Bears has been big disappointment. He has thrown more picks (18) to TD's (15). The Bears offensive line has also struggled that's why RB Matt Forte has been a big bust for fantasy owners, and for the Bears. Don't expect Forte to do anything at all against the Vikings. If your a Forte owner in fantasy make sure you bench him. The Bears are going to have to rely on there passing game since there running game hasn't done crap. Bears Wide Receiver Devin Hester is a good option to stick in your fantasy lineup. Vikings win this one. There defense is just too freaking good.

12.Steelers @ Ravens- Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger will be on the sideline this game because he suffered a concussion last week. Instead Dennis Dixon will make his first career NFL start for the Steelers. Dixon has only thrown 1 pass in 2 NFL season. From a fantasy perspective if you own Hines Ward or Super bowl MVP Santonio Holmes you might consider benching them. I think the Steelers are going to run the ball a lot more then pass. I like Joe Flacco and the Ravens in this match up to beat the Steelers.
