NFL - Week Twelve Preview

After the Thanksgiving Day football games, it's on to the rest of the action around the NFL for Week Twelve.  (Note - Heftyinfo went 3-0 on the Turkey Day picks) 

The Tennessee Titans (7-3) host the Cincinnati Bengals (6-4) in what should be a good one. The Titans play the run first style of offense and their defense has been above average this year. The Bengals like to air it out with quarterback Joe Burrow and have put up 30-plus points in four of their last five games. 

The Kansas City Chiefs are 8-2 and tops in the AFC race and have been rolling with four consecutive wins and this week host the Los Angeles Rams (3-7), who have been reeling with four straight losses and are missing several key players on offense. The Chiefs should roll again in this one with QB Patrick Mahomes (28 TD passes to lead the league along with an NFL best 3,265 passing yards) leading the way.

The Sunday night game features the Philadelphia Eagles (9-1) hosting the Green Bay Packers (4-7) in what could be a shootout type of game. The Eagles have QB Jalen Hurts and his many targets in the passing game along with Miles Sanders in the backfield. The Packers have struggled this season (losing six of their last seven games) and QB Aaron Rodgers (19 TD and seven INT) has been playing with a broken thumb, which is not the best way to have success on the football field. 

The rest of the games for this weekend are featured in the capsule style previews and the Heftyinfo picks for the games follows up. 

Tampa Bay (5-5) at Cleveland (3-7) - Can Tom Brady and the Bucs make it three in a row? 

Houston (1-8-1) at Miami (7-3) - The Dolphins should roll in this game. 

Chicago (3-8) at N.Y. Jets (6-4) - The Jets are making a switch at starting quarterback while the Bears are hoping to have their starting QB for this one. Toss up. 

Atlanta (5-6) at Washington (6-5) - The Commanders have been one of the hottest teams in the NFL the last six weeks while Falcons are looking to stay in contention in the NFC South race. 

Denver (3-7) at Carolina (3-8) - Who cares? 

Baltimore (7-3) at Jacksonville (3-7) - The Ravens defense is getting stronger each week and the Jaguars have been in a big funk since their 2-1 start to the season. 

L.A. Chargers (5-5) at Arizona (4-7) - Cardinals are looking to get starting QB Kyler Murray back for this one. The Chargers lost another nail biter last Sunday night. Toss up here in this game. 

Las Vegas (3-7) at Seattle (6-4) - Two teams that are on opposite ends of the spectrum this season. The Seahawks rate the edge at home for this game. 

New Orleans (4-7) at San Francisco (6-4) - Take the 49ers. 

Pittsburgh (3-7) at Indianapolis (4-6-1) - The Monday night game between two also rans.
