NFL Week 12 Free Picks From The Guru
Last Week 2-2 (+2 Units)
Season 23-28-3 (-12 Units)
Last Season 53-47-2 (+21.5 Units)
Green Bay (-7) at Detroit
I know how badly Detroit plays on Thanksgiving, but this isn't your normal Detroit team either. I feel that Green Bay is due for a hiccup somewhere in their schedule and this might be the week. Detroit is ready to win one of these games for their fans and the media. Take the points this week. Home dog covers. (1 Unit) I like the under 56 also for a little (0.5 Units)
Miami (+7) at Dallas
Miami is coming in hot and after watching Dallas the last couple weeks they aren't impressing anyone. Dallas is money at home on Thanksgiving though. I give them the nod to win and cover here. Give up the points. (0.5 Units)
San Fran (+3) at Baltimore
I'm sticking with the home team theme here for Thursday night's game. I know The Niners are perfect on the road, but this is asking a lot of them. Short week, cross country, Thanksgiving night…too much. Give up the points. Baltimore by 7. (3 Units)
Houston (-3) at Jacksonville
Simple fade pick here. Not to mention Jacksonville doesn't play half bad at home. Take the points. I'm keeping it small though. (0.5 Units)
Chicago (+4.5) at Oakland
The Bears are still a pretty good team without Jay Cutler. I expect them to keep it close throughout. Plus I love picking against Oakland now. Take the points. ( 4 Units)
Denver (+6.5) at San Diego
The Chargers are now done. The Broncos are somehow the hot team here. This one stays close as Tebow's magic continues. Take the points here. (1 unit)
New England (-3) at Philly
This may be the first time ever I take 2 road favs in one week. I have to take my temperature or something. New England is rolling again and Philly is still Philly this year. No other way to put it. Give up the points. The Pats win by a TD. (2 Units)
Pittsburgh (-10) at Kansas City
Listen, the Chiefs play fantastic at Arrowhead. They even beat the Steelers as a heavy underdog last time they played. This is different though. I watched this Chief team play on Monday night. The offense is now dreadful. If you can't score on the Patriots defense, how can you score against the Steelers. I see a huge win for Pittsburgh here coming off their bye week. Give up the points.
