For as bad as week 11 was, week 12 was equally as good. It got off to a rough start, with Oakland picking up a surprise win against weekly-picksrival Kansas City. But after that things played out mostly to form, save for a snow-delayed Bills/Jets game that ended up getting played in Detroit.

John nailed 14 of 15, but didn’t gain a ton of ground as nobody missed more than four games. Anthony rebounded from a brutal three for 14 performance in week 11 to hit 11 of 15 in week 12 – but that still carried the rear. Here are the standings:

Name Week 12 Overall
Dr. Phil 13-2 124-51-1
Tony 12-3 118-57-1
John 14-1 114-61-1
Andy 13-2 112-63-1
Maggio 11-4 105-70-1

 

Thursday marks my favorite holiday – and the strongest slate of Thanksgiving games in quite awhile. The Lions open the day with a should-win game against the Bears, but after that it’s two must-watch games – Eagles/Cowboys and Seahawks/49ers. That’s some good viewing as you’re napping off your gluttony.

Here are our picks for week 13:

Game of the Week: New England at Green Bay – As much as I love watching Seahawks/49ers and as much as I look forward to Denver/Kansas City, this game features the hottest teams in each conference. Tom Brady has been on a role since looking like crap on a Monday night in Kansas City. Aaron Rodgers is perhaps the only QB in the league playing better right now. This screams fantastic game and, though I hope it ain’t so, a possible Super Bowl preview.

Game of the Weak: Carolina at Minnesota – What a difference a year makes for Carolina. A poor job of re-tooling the offensive lines and WR corps have left Cam Newton with little to work with – note to team management, DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart aren’t good anymore. Minnesota has suffered a number of injuries on offense to couple with the reported inability of Cordarrelle Patterson to pick up the offense and the rookie growing pains of Teddy Bridgewater. So … this game narrowly edges out the less-than-scintillating NY Giants/Jacksonville game.
