| Houston Texans 34, Detroit Lions 31 | ||
 | 28 | The Lions' season is on the line here. Can they save it? It won't be easy against a good Texans team that had a little defensive wakeup call against the Jaguars. They will be focused here, and get another road victory. The Detroit offense just doesn't have the same zip as a year ago. Result: Houston Texans 34, Detroit Lions 31 |
 | 20 | |
| Washington Redskins 38, Dallas Cowboys 31 | ||
 | 33 | The Cowboys have won two consecutive games, yet nobody is excited about it. That's because they beat the Eagles and the Browns. The Redskins looked good in blowing out Philadelphia last week, but I get the sense the Cowboys will be ready for Robert Griffin III here. Tony Romo outplays him. Result: Dallas Cowboys 31, Washington Redskins 38 |
 | 27 | |
| New England Patriots 49, NY Jets 19 | ||
 | 30 | The Jets are playing for their season here, but the question is whether they are good enough to beat the Patriots, even at home. I don't think they are. The Patriots will be without Rob Gronkowski, but as long as Tom Brady is throwing it around they will be fine. Patriots put a real damper on the Jets playoff chances. Result: New England Patriots 49, NY Jets 19 |
 | 17 | |
| Sunday, Nov. 25, 2012 | ||
| Minnesota Vikings 10, Chicago Bears 28 | ||
 | 21 | The Bears were horrible against the 49ers, but might have Jay Cutler back here. They need him. The offensive line is really struggling. Jared Allen has to be licking his chops. This is a huge division game for both teams. I see the Bears bouncing back. Result: Chicago Bears 28, Minnesota Vikings 10 |
 | 17 | |
| Oakland Raiders 10, Cincinnati Bengals 34 | ||
 | 27 | Carson Palmer returns to Cincinnati to face the team he left. That won't be pleasant -- in any way. The Bengals are getting right on defense and the Oakland defense is horrible. Look for the Bengals to roll. Result: Cincinnati Bengals 34, Oakland Raiders 10 |
 | 17 | |
| Pittsburgh Steelers 14, Cleveland Browns 20 | ||
 | 17 | With Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich both out with injuries, the Steelers have to turn to Charlie Batch to win an important game. The Browns are playing better, especially on defense. That will keep this close. No, they will get the upset. Result: Cleveland Browns 20, Pittsburgh Steelers 14 |
 | 14 | |
| Buffalo Bills 13, Indianapolis Colts 20 | ||
 | 27 | The Colts got a reality check last week at New England. Now they get a lesser AFC East foe, one that's still alive in the playoff hunt. The Bills might be playing for their lives here. So that will show up. But Buffalo has defensive issues and Andrew Luck will take advantage of them. Colts take it. Result: Indianapolis Colts 20, Buffalo Bills 13 |
 | 20 | |
| Tennessee Titans 19, Jacksonville Jaguars 24 | ||
 | 28 | Chad Henne starts for the Jaguars after his impressive performance last week against the Texans. Can he do it again? I have my doubts. The Titans are coming off the bye week, so they are rested. I think Chris Johnson has a big game. Result: Tennessee Titans 19, Jacksonville Jaguars 24 |
 | 17 | |
| Denver Broncos 17, Kansas City Chiefs 9 | ||
 | 31 | The Broncos have a real hold on the AFC West and the Chiefs are playing out the string. The Broncos have to adjust to playing without Willis McGahee, and this is a good way to start. The Broncos roll. Result: Denver Broncos 17, Kansas City Chiefs 9 |
 | 15 | |
| Seattle Seahawks 21, Miami Dolphins 24 | ||
 | 24 | This is a long trip for Seattle, but at least it's being made off a bye. Miami is also rested, having played last Thursday. This will be a battle between two rookie passers. Ryan Tannehill is struggling lately. But Russell Wilson hasn't played great on the road. Something says Miami is ready for him. Result: Miami Dolphins 24, Seattle Seahawks 21 |
 | 21 | |
| Atlanta Falcons 24, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23 | ||
 | 38 | A month ago who thought this game would be so important? But it's huge. The Bucs are in the playoff race, thanks to their offense. The defense is still struggling. I think the Falcons take advantage of that with a good offensive showing. Should see a lot of points. Result: Atlanta Falcons 24, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23 |
 | 30 | |
| Baltimore Ravens 16, San Diego Chargers 13 | ||
 | 31 | This is a be-careful game for the Ravens. They don't play well out here and San Diego can get it going through the air, an area of concern for the Ravens. I see Philip Rivers coming up big in a game that the Chargers have to get. Result: San Diego Chargers 13, Baltimore Ravens 16 |
 | 21 | |
| St. Louis Rams 31, Arizona Cardinals 17 | ||
 | 20 | Who starts at quarterback for the Cardinals? Does it matter? The line can't protect QBs anyway. Chris Long and gang will get after whoever plays there. The Arizona defense is good, but not that good. The Rams played well on the road at San Francisco two weeks ago. They do so again here. Result: St. Louis Rams 31, Arizona Cardinals 17 |
 | 16 | |
| San Francisco 49ers 31, New Orleans Saints 21 | ||
 | 23 | This one should be a lot of fun. It's the rematch of last year's NFC playoff game won by the 49ers. San Francisco rolled Monday night, but this is a tough trip on a short week -- especially with quarterback controversy stuff going on. The Saints are rolling on offense. I think Drew Brees will find a way to beat the 49ers. The 49ers are in a tough spot here. Result: New Orleans Saints 21, San Francisco 49ers 31 |
 | 20 | |
| Green Bay Packers 10, NY Giants 38 | ||
 | 30 | The Giants are coming off a bye and they have some urgency to turn around their season with two consecutive losses. It won't be easy with the Packers coming to town. Green Bay is playing a second consecutive road game, which is tough, against a team coming off a bye, making it even tougher. I see the Giants pass rush getting all over Aaron Rodgers. Eli Manning gets back to his old form. Result: NY Giants 38, Green Bay Packers 10 |
 | 23 | |
| Monday, Nov. 26, 2012 | ||
| Carolina Panthers 30, Philadelphia Eagles 22 | ||
 | 23 | I bet you can't wait for this one. When the schedule came out, it looked like this might feature two playoff teams with two dynamic quarterbacks. It has neither. This will likely be Nick Foles' first home start for the Eagles. And Cam Newton hasn't been the same player. The Eagles get one before Andy Reid gets canned. Result: Philadelphia Eagles 22, Carolina Panthers 30 |
