It’s Thanksgiving Week and we have 3 games on Turkey Day, 1 game on Black Friday, and 12 more games between Sunday & Monday for an action-packed weekend. We’ll be breaking down all 16 games across the league. Through 12 weeks, we’re 115-59-1 in predicting matchups.

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

Earlier this year, when these two teams faced, the Packers absolutely shut down the Lions. This time around, we’re expecting the Lions to shut down the Packers offense, especially with a limited Josh Jacobs and a depleted pass attack. The Packers defense will do their own part and it will be a surprisingly lower scoring game between two teams that we’ve seen light it up before.

Winner: Detroit Lions

Kansas City Chiefs at Dallas Cowboys

The Chiefs and the Cowboys got much needed wins in closely-fought games last week. The Chiefs overcame a 14-3 deficit to beat the Colts in overtime. Meanwhile, the Cowboys overcame a 21-0 deficit to beat the Eagles. This game should be another close one, but we’re giving the edge to the Chiefs who have more on the line and Patrick Mahomes tends to kick it up a notch in primetime. 

Winner: Kansas City Chiefs

Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens

Joe Burrow is back for the Bengals, but their defense is still bad and hasn’t improved. In fact, they currently are the league’s worst, giving up the most points per game. The Bengals offense should be more competitive with Burrow, but it’s going to be hard to win games against any team with a semi-decent offense, such as the Ravens.

Winner: Baltimore Ravens

Chicago Bears at Philadelphia Eagles

The Bears might be 8-3 and have the 2nd best record in the NFC, but they’ve had a fairly cakewalk schedule thus far. This is where things get real for them with a tough Black Friday matchup against the Eagles. The Eagles just blew a 21-0 lead and are on a mission to prove doubters wrong. The Eagles are going to come into this game hungry and won’t blow another lead this go around.

Winner: Philadelphia Eagles

San Francisco 49ers at Cleveland Browns

In his first ever start, Shedeur Sanders got a win, the last Cleveland Browns quarterback to do so in a long, long, time. Unfortunately, he is not going to get two wins in a row as the Browns host the 49ers. The 49ers defense might be battered up, but they’re much better than the Browns offensive attack.

Winner: San Francisco 49ers

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans

The Jacksonville Jaguars have quietly gone 7-4 and only one game out of the division lead in the AFC South. With all the attention turned to the Colts, the Jaguars can potentially tie the Colts for the division lead this weekend. The Jaguars should do their part against a dismal Tennessee Titans, but they’ll be keeping an eye on the big matchup between the Texans and Colts.

Winner: Jacksonville Jaguars

Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts

This is a massive game for both the Texans and the Colts. For the Texans, a win moves them to 7-5 and in a much better spot in the playoff hunt. For the Colts, a loss will knock them out of their commanding lead they had in the AFC South and tied with the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is a big game for both and the Colts, during the last two big games, against the Chiefs and the Steelers, the Colts offense has struggled. Daniel Jones has come back down to earth and we’re unsure if he can overcome those struggles against the league’s best defense. The Texans make this an interesting final month of football. 

Winner: Houston Texans

New Orleans Saints at Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have won two games in a row, with one against their division-rival Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins aren’t scary, but they can inch their way closer to .500 with a win this weekend and a few more down the stretch, against other bad teams.

Winner: Miami Dolphins

Atlanta Falcons at New York Jets

Tyrod Taylor has been a much needed upgrade and has already shown improvement over Justin Fields. Unfortunately for Taylor, he has nobody to throw the ball to as Garrett Wilson is still on the IR. Until then, the Jets offense can’t win them games, even against a Falcons offense that will also be struggling. 

Winner: Atlanta Falcons

Arizona Cardinals at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

During last week’s game, Baker Mayfield was forced out with a left shoulder injury. He’s already out of the sling, but his play will be limited. If Baker plays, the Buccaneers should bounce back with a win. If Baker doesn’t play, this is a whole new ballgame. Jacoby Brissett has the Cardinals at least semi-competitive now and he might be able to do just enough to topple the Bucs. 

Winner: Depends on Baker Mayfield’s Status

Los Angeles Rams at Carolina Panthers

The Panthers have been surprisingly exceeding expectations this year, but the road ahead is tough. They’ll drop back below .500 as they have to play the current Super Bowl favorites in the Los Angeles Rams.

Winner: Los Angeles Rams

Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks

The Vikings have no offense with JJ McCarthy and might actually improve with undrafted rookie Max Brosmer playing. There’s not much confidence in him either and the Seahawks should plummet them. 

Winner: Seattle Seahawks

Buffalo Bills at Pittsburgh Steelers

The Bills have lost some bad road games as of late with the Dolphins and Texans beating them. The Bills Mafia travels well and the Bills are angry. This is a redemption game and the Steelers defense just gave up 31 points to the Bears. The Bills are the far superior team, and should do more damage than the Bears did.

Winner: Buffalo Bills

Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton is set to be back this week which will be a huge relief for quarterback Justin Herbert. The Chargers don’t necessarily need him back for this weekend’s game against the Raiders, but it’ll be helpful to ease him back in before the real competition starts. 

Winner: Los Angeles Chargers

Denver Broncos at Washington Commanders

Both the Denver Broncos and Washington Commanders are coming off a bye. The Broncos need to fix their offensive struggles and the Commanders need players to come back from injury. Obviously the players aren’t back from injury, so the Broncos pull off the win with the more likely bye week fix.

Winner: Denver Broncos

New York Giants at New England Patriots

The first NFL game in December is between the team with the 2nd worst record in the league and the team with the best record in the league. The Giants aren’t going to magically improve and the Patriots defense is going to be too tough to get past. Patriots continue their dominance streak, the best we’ve seen since the Brady era. 

Winner: New England Patriots
