| New Orleans Saints 13, Atlanta Falcons 23 | ||
 | 34 | These two teams don't like each other, which will make this fun to watch. The Saints will be playing for their playoff lives here, and you know the Falcons would love to end their chances. New Orleans beat Atlanta earlier this year, but the Falcons will turn the tables here. Matt Ryan outduels Drew Brees. Result: Atlanta Falcons 23, New Orleans Saints 13 |
 | 28 | |
| Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012 | ||
| Jacksonville Jaguars 18, Buffalo Bills 34 | ||
 | 30 | The Jaguars have shown some life on offense with Chad Henne under center. Can it carry over on the road in the cold? It can against a Buffalo defense that isn't great against the pass. But the Jaguars will not be able to match up with Buffalo's outside receivers. The Bills take it. Result: Buffalo Bills 34, Jacksonville Jaguars 18 |
 | 23 | |
| Seattle Seahawks 23, Chicago Bears 17 | ||
 | 21 | The Seahawks are playing consecutive road games, which is tough, but the Bears are really banged up. That could help Seattle here. Russell Wilson has to show he can win a road game. This won't be easy. Even a banged-up Bears team will be too tough for him. Result: Chicago Bears 17, Seattle Seahawks 23 |
 | 19 | |
| Indianapolis Colts 35, Detroit Lions 33 | ||
 | 26 | Do the Lions have anything left after losing to Houston on Thanksgiving and essentially ending their season? The Lions will be playing loose, which could be to their advantage. The Colts are in the playoff chase, but this is a tough spot. I think Calvin Johnson has a huge day. Result: Detroit Lions 33, Indianapolis Colts 35 |
 | 17 | |
| Minnesota Vikings 14, Green Bay Packers 23 | ||
 | 27 | This is a huge game for both teams. Both are coming off bad losses on the road. Green Bay has some offensive line issues, which you don't want when you face Jared Allen. But the Packers will get it back on track here. It won't be easy, but Aaron Rodgers doesn't get held down two games in a row. Result: Green Bay Packers 23, Minnesota Vikings 14 |
 | 20 | |
| Carolina Panthers 21, Kansas City Chiefs 27 | ||
 | 23 | This is the dog game of the day, featuring two disappointing teams. The Panthers are playing consecutive road games, which is difficult for a team playing for nothing. I just don't think they will be as focused as they should be. Kansas City should be able to run on a defense that was gashed by the Eagles. Chiefs take one. Result: Kansas City Chiefs 27, Carolina Panthers 21 |
 | 20 | |
| New England Patriots 23, Miami Dolphins 16 | ||
 | 31 | The Dolphins are still alive after beating the Seahawks last week, but this is a tough task against their division rival. The Patriots can lock up the AFC East with a victory and they are playing at a high level. Can the Dolphins stop Tom Brady? Not likely. They won't even slow him. Result: New England Patriots 23, Miami Dolphins 16 |
 | 17 | |
| Arizona Cardinals 6, NY Jets 7 | ||
 | 20 | This is a long trip for an Arizona team that has nothing to play for anymore. At least the Jets think they do, and they will be rested after playing on Thanksgiving. Both teams have offensive issues, but I'll take the Jets' crappy offense at home. Result: NY Jets 7, Arizona Cardinals 6 |
 | 13 | |
| San Francisco 49ers 13, St. Louis Rams 16 | ||
 | 23 | When these teams played three weeks ago, they tied. The 49ers looked dominant last week against the Saints, but that quarterback issue is a cloud hanging over this team's head. Back-to-back road games are tough. The Rams keep it close. Result: San Francisco 49ers 13, St. Louis Rams 16 |
 | 20 | |
| Houston Texans 24, Tennessee Titans 10 | ||
 | 30 | The Texans have to turn around their defensive issues that have shown up the past two games. Playing a Titans offense that is limited in the passing game will help. Houston will be rested after playing on Thanksgiving Day. The Texans needed the break and it shows up here. Result: Houston Texans 24, Tennessee Titans 10 |
 | 19 | |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23, Denver Broncos 31 | ||
 | 38 | This should be filled with fireworks. The Broncos can score with Peyton Manning. And Tampa Bay has been on fire on offense the past month. Tampa Bay has some issues on the back end of their defense, which Manning will eat up. Look for a lot of points. Result: Denver Broncos 31, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23 |
 | 25 | |
| Pittsburgh Steelers 23, Baltimore Ravens 20 | ||
 | 17 | Ben Roethlisberger will not go for the Steelers here, which means they face a tough task to win on the road. Charlie Batch was bad last week. Baltimore's offense hasn't exactly lit things up, so this might be another Ravens-Steelers punt-fest. Result: Baltimore Ravens 20, Pittsburgh Steelers 23 |
 | 13 | |
| Cleveland Browns 20, Oakland Raiders 17 | ||
 | 26 | The Raiders are horrible on defense and look disinterested at times. The Browns are playing hard. That's a big edge for Cleveland. The health of Brandon Weeden will be in play here. But even without him, I think Cleveland will find a way. Result: Cleveland Browns 20, Oakland Raiders 17 |
 | 17 | |
| Cincinnati Bengals 20, San Diego Chargers 13 | ||
 | 27 | The Bengals are surging. The Chargers are not. But this could be the last stand for San Diego. I don't care. Cincinnati is the better team. Look for the Bengals pass rush to get all over Philip Rivers. The Bengals continue their push to the playoffs. Result: Cincinnati Bengals 20, San Diego Chargers 13 |
 | 17 | |
| Philadelphia Eagles 33, Dallas Cowboys 38 | ||
 | 37 | This once looked like a big game. It isn't. The Eagles are horrible and out of it. The Cowboys are trying to survive. I think they get it going here against an Eagles team that is playing on a short week and playing for nothing. Cowboys roll. Result: Dallas Cowboys 38, Philadelphia Eagles 33 |
 | 21 | |
| Monday, Dec. 3, 2012 | ||
| NY Giants 16, Washington Redskins 17 | ||
 | 30 | This is suddenly a huge game in the NFC East. The Redskins are rolling behind Robert Griffin III. But the Giants look like they got it right last week against the Packers. Can they do it two weeks in a row? I think they can as the offense hits some big plays on a Washington defense that can be beat down the field. Result: NY Giants 16, Washington Redskins 17 |
