Results for Week # 12:

Prediction:  Rams 24, Bears 23 Win:  That Tavon Austin dude is the real deal for the Rams.  The Bears put up big offensive #’s but couldn’t put up the points.

Prediction:  Packers 24, Vikings 20 Tie:  The clock ran out as the Vikings squandered a big lead in GB.

Prediction: Chargers 17, Chiefs 13 Win:  Just the opposite of what I thought as these two put up 79 points and almost 900 of total offense combined.  The Chiefs are lucky that the Broncos laid an egg later that night…..

Prediction:  Colts 23, Cardinals 21 Loss:  Are the Cardinals really this good or are the Colts in a funk?

Prediction:  Broncos 45, Patriots 20 Loss:  Where do I start on this one….24 to nothing at half, needless injury right before the half for Denver, give up 31 unanswered points and then the gaff to give pretty boy Brady the ball at the Denver 18 to win it….horrible!!!

Record for the week:  2 – 2 – 1.  YTD  36– 24 – 1

Predictions for Week 12:

Chicago Bears @ St Louis Rams

Backup Josh McCown has played well for the Bears, but the Rams have had a week to prepare, and Kellen Clemens hasn’t been a slouch either. Tavon Austin and the Rams’ special teams could be the difference.

Prediction:  Rams 24, Bears 23

Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers

Can the Packers get a win without Aaron Rodgers? This would be the week to do it against the Vikings.  Sorry Row…

Prediction:  Packers 24, Vikings 20

San Diego Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs

This will be a close game because since 1992, SD has a 22 – 21 record in KC.  A low scoring game as 25 of 43 times the game has been under on the money line.  SD sneaks in a W as KC is thinking about last week and what could have been….UPSET ALERT!!!!

Prediction: Chargers 17, Chiefs 13

Indianapolis Colts @ Arizona Cardinals

The Colts offense is floundering without Reggie Wayne, and the Cardinals’ defense is legit. Yet,  I believe a whole lot more in Andrew Luck than in Carson Palmer. Colts on the road…

Prediction:  Colts 23, Cardinals 21

Denver Broncos @ New England Patriots

Denver’s defense is playing well enough right now to slow any quarterback, including Tom Brady.  With or without Welker, the Broncos are the best team in the AFC hands down.

Prediction:  Broncos 45, Patriots 20

Predictions for Week 11:

Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans

The Titans lost to the Jaguars at home….oh boy.

Prediction:  Colts 38, Titans 13

Washington Redskins @ Philadelphia Eagles

Washington’s defense is bad. Eagle QB Nick Foles is hot. Philly should score points in bunches.

Prediction:  Eagles 37, Redskins 27

Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The wheels have come off in Atlanta. Even with a healthier Roddy White in the lineup, it’s hard to think that the Falcons will put up enough points to win on the road.

Prediction:  Buccaneers 24, Falcons 20

Green Bay Packers @ New York Giants

It’s easy to say that the Packers would struggle on offense without Aaron Rodgers, but where did the Green Bay defense go? The Giants should control the clock and get the W.

Prediction:  Giants 28, Packers 14

San Francisco 49ers @ New Orleans Saints

Repeat after me: The Saints don’t lose at home. The 49ers are still trying to figure out what happened last week against Carolina.

Prediction:  Saints 27, 49ers 20
