Aaron’s Week 12 NFL Picks

I feel lost. Another subpar performance in Week 11 has me questioning all my gambling instincts. Should I stick with my guns, or just fade myself? At 11 games under .500 for the season, I am going to trust myself and keep hacking away at this deficit!

The Steelers were an easy call as a home underdog last week. As a road favorite? Not so much. Give me Famous Jameis and the Browns.

Caleb Williams and the Bears couldn’t take advantage of the dead cat bounce that they got from firing an offensive coordinator. They played well but failed against Green Bay, and now they will be smothered by Minnesota’s defense.

They can’t make a spread high enough for Detroit. It would be great for my fantasy team if Jonathan Taylor could control the clock and keep the Colts in the game, but Indianapolis’ run game has been mediocre lately.

The Pats have been a rare bright spot against the spread for me since they got blown out by Jacksonville. New England barely failed to cover against the Rams, but I am sticking with Drake Maye and company with a touchdown and the hook in Miami.

Giants only getting three and a half with Tommy DeVito under center? This pick is as sharp as they come.

Make that two straight blowout losses for the Cowboys with Cooper Rush under center. We will keep fading. Kansas City should also win big after Buffalo ruined its perfect season. Look for Xavier Worthy to get more involved, as he gave the Bills problems last week.

The Texans seemed to get back on track with that win over Dallas, but I still think they are fraudulent. Why is no one talking about C.J. Stroud’s sophomore slump? I guess the wide receiver injuries are an excuse, but he should still be playing better.

I have labeled the Raiders as a frisky team since they upset Baltimore in Week 2, but they haven’t been all that frisky lately. That number is suspiciously low, though.

Green Bay is my favorite pick of the week. The 49ers are dead to me after losing to a Seattle team that the Giants beat while giving up a 101-yard fumble return touchdown.

Wait, I think Arizona is my real favorite pick of the week. The Cardinals have been a good team for a month now and Seattle still stinks.

I really want to Ram It, but the Eagles are too good. It really makes me sad how good the Eagles are. I have to lay the number with them and hope they lose to Detroit in the Playoffs.

The Chargers showed a lot of heart by not blowing that game to Cincinnati after they lost all the momentum. It helped that Evan McPherson was feeble, but I have no issue Bolting Up with Los Angeles as a home underdog.
