NFL Week 12 Picks — UPDATES WITH MONDAY NIGHT PICKS

This is the condensed version of picks for the NFL Week 12 games for Winners and Whiners between:

Atlanta at New Orleans
Arizona at Los Angeles Chargers
Tennessee at Houston

Week 11 Review:

Sometimes it is better to study the matchups than ride the momentum. Such was the case in flopping with the Steelers against the Jaguars. Sometimes there is also nothing you can do as a team wins without covering (I’m looking at you, Houston), and then there are games you just shrug your shoulders (hello, Chargers). On the bright side, watching the Vikings deliver the back-door cover on the over Sunday night, was heartwarming, and getting five of six right in that reee-donk-u-lus Chiefs-Rams game was nice, too.

Note: Monday’s picks will move late morning/early afternoon Monday after the “Bank the Bet” podcast in which Scott Steehn and I break down the Titans-Texans matchup. So give a listen!

And last but not least, a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and as always, thank you for reading.
