Week 12 is all about the Patriots and Saints. Are there really any other games this week? Here are the picks for this week.
Patriots 31 Saints 27
We all know what happened the last time the Patriots took on an undefeated team, so there is no reason to relive the past. The Patriots will make the Colts game feel like a distant memory, as they will get the job done in New Orleans. The Patriots will control the clock - look for Wes Welker to come up big once again - and hand the Saints their first loss of the year.
Ravens 20 Steelers 14
No Big Ben means no win for the Steelers. With Roethlisberger likely out, and back up Charlie Batch banged up with a broken wrist, the Steelers turn to Dennis Dixon at QB. Dennis Dixon? Good luck. Make it three loses in a row for for Pittsburgh. Of course things could change if Roethlisberger decides to give it a go, but that does not seem likely.
Vikings 28 Bears 10
It is Jay Cutler who is throwing a ton of interceptions, not Brett Favre. Cutler will continue to struggle, and add to his league leading 18 interceptions.
Cardinals 34 Titans 23
After staring 0-6, who would have thought that the Titans would still be alive for a playoff spot at this point? That will all come to an end this week. With Kurt Warner expected to play, the Cardinals will keep their perfect record on the road alive, and knock the Titans out of any chance at the post season.
49ers 23 Jaguars 13
The Jags have been playing better the past few weeks, but things will change this time out. The cross country trip will hurt the Jags - they were killed by Seattle last time they were out on the west coast - and the 49ers will take advantage, getting a potential season saving win.
Chargers 40 Chiefs 13
Make it six wins in a row for San Diego. Last week the Chiefs stunned the Steelers. The Chargers will be ready, and dominate from the opening gun.
Texans 34 Colts 30
The Colts have been dodging bullets the last few weeks, getting victories in the final minutes. Expect their luck to finally run out. There will be no more perfect teams in the NFL after week 12.
Eagles 24 Redskins 7
The Redskins just cannot score. The Eagle can score, as they have plenty of weapons. The Eagles remain alive for the NFC East crown with an easy win at home against the Redskins.
Panthers 21 Jets 13
The Panthers may be banged up on defense, but Mark Sanchez will make them look healthy. Sanchez is coming off one of his worst games, and things do not figure to get better this week. Will Rex Ryan cry after this one? He is talking much anymore is he?
Rams 13 Seahawks 6
In a battle of two teams going nowhere, it all comes down to home field advantage. The Seahawks have been horrible on the road, and the Rams have played well at times at home, almost beating the Saints a few games back, and playing the Cardinals tough last Sunday. The Rams pick up just their second win of the year.
Bengals 34 Browns 3
There will be no let down by the Bengals this time. The Bengals blew it against the Raiders, fumbling away what should have been an easy win. It will not happen again.
Dolphins 27 Bills 6
Even with Ronnie Brown out for the year, the Dolphins will not miss a beat, thanks to the play of Ricky Williams. The Dolphins defense will also come up big, but most defenses have looked great against the Bills anyway.
Falcons 31 Buccaneers 17
Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons get just what the doctor order - a cupcake of a game. Ryan will finally look like the QB will all expected to see, as he keeps the Falcons alive in the wild card race in the NFC.
