Week 12 proved to be the biggest winning weekend of my season so far, thanks largely to the comeback by the Indianapolis Colts in Houston. There were only a few surprises last weekend and let’s hope for our money’s sake there are fewer this weekend:

Thursday 3rd December 2009
New York Jets 19 @ 13 Buffalo Bills
The New York Jets kept their slim playoff chances alive with a win in Toronto, Canada over the Buffalo Bills. Neither offence was particularly impressive, but it was the Jets who done just enough to win this one.

Sunday 6th December 2009
New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins
Our Pick: New England -4 – The Patriots will take it out on the Dolphins this Sunday after a 3 touchdown defeat in New Orleans on Monday night as they look to close in on the AFC East title.

Sunday 6th December 2009
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Carolina Panthers
Our Pick: Carolina – With no Jake Delhomme this weekend, John Fox should finally run the ball more times than pass, and this is where Carolina will win the game.

Sunday 6th December 2009
St Louis Rams @ Chicago Bears
Our Pick: Chicago – The Bears will end their 4 game losing streak this weekend at the expense of of the St Louis Rams who are bidding for the number 1 draft pick.

Sunday 6th December 2009
Philadelphia Eagles @ Atlanta Falcons
Our Pick: Philadelphia – Michael Vick returns to the Georgia Dome and the Eagles should be able to pick up a win on the road here with Matt Ryan and Michael Turner both likely to be missing for the Falcons.

Sunday 6th December 2009
Detroit Lions @ Cincinnati Bengals
Our Pick: Cincinnati -13 – They don’t win big very often, but with the Lions looking hopeless the Bengals should ease to a victory that gets them within reach of the AFC North title.

Sunday 6th December 2009
Houston Texans @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Our Pick: Houston – The Texans will be out of playoff contention with a defeat here, but Matt Schaub should enjoy plenty of success passing the ball as he guides his team to victory in Jacksonville.

Sunday 6th December 2009
Oakland Raiders @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Our Pick: Pittsburgh – They put up a fight in Baltimore only to lose in overtime as their playoff hopes start slipping. But a win here at least keeps them in contention and Oakland are hardly a challenge.

Sunday 6th December 2009
New Orleans Saints @ Washington Redskins
Our Pick: New Orleans – Cruising to 11-0 on Monday night, the Saints performance may not be as emphatic here, but victory they will get none-the-less.

Sunday 6th December 2009
Denver Broncos @ Kansas City Chiefs
Our Pick: Denver -4.5 – Victory on Thanksgiving has put Denver at the top of the AFC playoff contenders, and they will hang onto that with a victory in Kansas City.

Sunday 6th December 2009
Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts
Our Pick: Indianapolis – Tennessee’s 5 game winning streak hasn’t seen them beat a top team, and the Colts’ second half performance against the Texans marches them on form in this division rivalry game. The Colts speed on defence will slow down Vince Young and Chris Johnson, while Peyton Manning can pick this defence apart as he did in week 5.

Sunday 6th December 2009
San Diego Chargers @ Cleveland Browns
Our Pick: San Diego -13.5 – The Browns are woeful and the Chargers are on an excellent 6 game winning streak as they look to defend their AFC West division.

Sunday 6th December 2009
Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants
Our Pick: New York +2.5 – The Cowboys often come unstuck in December and in big games. They haven’t played great on the road this season despite their record and I think this game could see the Giants get back to winning ways.

Sunday 6th December 2009
San Francisco 49ers @ Seattle Seahawks
Our Pick: San Francisco – A road victory here and a Cardinals loss later would get the 49ers within a game of the NFC West leaders. The Seahawks have disappointed again this season and I think a San Francisco win here is a good call.

Sunday 6th December 2009
Minnesota Vikings @ Arizona Cardinals
Our Pick: Minnesota -3 – The Cardinals were beat late in Tennessee for last weeks tip to come in, and I think the Minnesota pass rush, defence and offensive weapons will be too much here for the NFC West leaders.

Monday 7th December 2009
Baltimore Ravens @ Green Bay Packers
Our Pick: Green Bay – Rookie quarterback Dennis Dixon was able to make plays on this Baltimore defence, so I think Aaron Rodgers can put up some good numbers here. The Ravens pass rush is slowing down but will that be enough for Green Bay to pick it up. At home, on Monday night, the Packers will be ready to win this one.
