Since it’s a holiday week I’m doing on combined this week giving you my suicide pick and weekly picks all in one post.
Fist my Week 12 Suicide Pick:
It was a stress free week last week as the Vikings easily took care of business against the Seahawks.
It was a big week of upsets last week as the Steelers and Bengals went down, so to those of who resisted picking them congrats.
Now onto this week’s pick:
Teams already used:
Week 1: Seattle Seahawks: Win
Week 2: Green Bay Packers: Loss
Week 3: Baltimore Ravens: Win
Week 4: New York Giants Win
Week 5: Dallas Cowboys Win
Week 6: Pittsburgh Steelers Win
Week 7: Carolina Panthers Loss
Week 8: Chicago Bears Win
Week 9: Atlanta Falcons Win
Week 10: Miami Dolphins Win
Week 11: Minnesota Vikings Win
The pick for Week 12 is the San Diego Chargers
The Chiefs may have won last week, but don’t expect them to pull back to back upsets. They were lucky to beat the Steelers as they were severely out gained and lost the time of possession battle by a lengthy amount. They were also playing at home, but won’t have that advantage this week.
The Chargers come into this game riding high on a five game winning streak. After starting out 2-3 this team has played as good football as an team in the league. Shawne Merriman has picked up his game and L.T. has played well the last two weeks. If they can get a consistent effort out of L.T. this team will be a tough out come playoff time.
Playing at home the Chargers won’t have a letdown this week.
Final Score: Chargers 34 Chiefs 13
In case you have used the Chargers here are some other teams I like this week:
Bengals over the Browns- After losing against the Raiders last week the Bengals won’t mess around this week.
Falcons over the Bucs- A little riskier since the Falcons are slumping, but they do play at home.
Eagles over the Redskins- Division games are always risky, but the Eagles offense will be to much to handle for the Redskins.
Now for my Week 12 Picks:
I had a good week last week going 3-1 with my picks, only missing the Giants against the spread.
Let’s see if I can keep up my wining streak this week:
Against the Spread
1. Minnesota Vikings (10) over the Chicago Bears
The Vikings are arguably the best team in football and the Bears playoff hopes are fading fast. Playing at home I expect Minnesota to crush the Bears.
2. Miami Dolphins (-3) over the Buffalo Bills
The Dolphins are now back in the playoff hunt and they know they need a win this week. They have been great versus the division this year.
3. Indianapolis Colts (-3.5) over the Houston Texans
After two straight crushing loses the Texans are in trouble. Unfortunately they play Colts, who have always given them fits.
Upset Specials
Tennessee Titans (off) over the Arizona Cardinals
I went with the Titans last week as my upset special and they came through for me, so I’m sticking with them. This Titans team has been a completely different team with Vince Young at quarterback and playing at home I see them pulling the upset over the Cardinals, who are due for a letdown.
