Greg's 2022 NFL Picks: Week 12

 I had a nice Thanksgiving, especially with my picks. And that ended a solid week for me, going 7-7 against the spread and 12-4 in the victory column.


Points: 67-54

Victory: 105-69


Because of the three games on Thanksgiving, fewer games to predict now. Let's see if I can take advantage:

Texans @ Dolphins (-14): High spread, but the Dolphins are a high scoring offense, especially recently. I think they cover.

Points: Dolphins     Victory: Dolphins


Ravens (-3.5) @ Jaguars: Lamar Jackson is off the injury list and will play. I will take advantage of the indecision and get the Ravens at a low spread

Points: Ravens   Victory: Ravens


Bears @ Jets (-6): I think the Bears would be fools to play Fields with a bad shoulder against this defense, but it looks still in doubt. I just don't see how the Bears win, especially in wet weather. Mike White is not great, but he should be better than Wilson was last week.

Points: Jets    Victory: Jets


Falcons @ Commanders (-4): Once again, behind Comrade Heineke, the Commanders will win this game. I just like their momentum.

Points: Commies    Victory: Commies


Bengals (-2.5) @ Titans: PICK'EM! No Joe Mixon and questionable Chase for the Bengals. I like the Titans, looking for revenge after last year's playoff defeat to knock off the Bengals. This would have been my upset pick if it was high enough.

Victory: Titans


Broncos (-1) @ Panthers: PICK'EM #2! Broncos better win this game or else there will be calls for firing, if there aren't already.

Victory: Broncos


Buccaneers (-3.5) @ Browns: If the Bucs key in on Nick Chubb, then they should win handily. I think they will and overcome their bad offense to win.

Points: Buccaneers   Victory: Buccaneers


Raiders @ Seahawks (-4): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a total shot in the dark. I saw this line and it spooked me. How could Seattle, a division leader, be favored by only 4 points against a Raiders team that is awful? I think this is going to be a high scoring game, and I just feel that Vegas is up to tricks. I think they know something. I might easily be wrong, but with no other real alternative, I'm going to take it.

Points: Raiders     Victory: Raiders


Chargers (-2.5) @ Cardinals: PICK'EM #3! Two teams that like to self- destruct. Due to Brandon Staley's dislike of turkey at Thanksgiving (SHAME ON YOU!) Going with Arizona

Victory: Cardinals


Saints @ 49ers (-9): It's a big spread, but I've beaten down on the Niners alot and they've played dominantly of late. I think they cover.

Points: Niners    Victory: Niners


Rams @ Chiefs (-15.5): That's a huge number to get. I don't know. I have to think the Rams will put up a little bit of a fight. And the Chiefs don't seem the type of team to rub it in. I will split the difference here.

Points: Rams    Victory: Chiefs


Packers @ Eagles (-6.5): This has disaster written all over it. The Packers have a horrible run defense going against one of the best run teams in the NFL. Eagles clearly.

Points: Eagles     Victory: Eagles


Steelers @ Colts (-2.5) PICK'EM #4!  I like the way Kenny Pickett has progressed recently and I think the Steelers are going to be a bit healthier defensively. I like them against the Colts.

Victory: Steelers
