Now that you’ve awoken from your Turkey Day coma, here’s picks for the NFL’s other week 12 games

JIM RUBERA

Last Week:  8-6 / Best Bets:  1-0 / Monday Night:  0-1

Overall:  73-80-4 / Best Bets:  15-16-1 / Monday Night:  7-5

Minnesota +1 @ Washington

Coaching change brought Dallas life.  Why not the Vikings?

Pittsburgh –6 @ Buffalo

I don’t believe in trap games.  The Steelers should pound the Bills.

Tennessee @ Houston –6

I also don’t believe in third string quarterbacks named “Rusty”.  It just sounds like a bad joke.

Jacksonville @ New York Giants –7

Hardest game to pick.  Jacksonville keeps finding ways to win and the Giants keep losing players to injury.  I just think this is where first class shuts the curtain to the coach seats, even though they’re in the same plane.

Carolina @ Cleveland  -9

Nobody can argue that the Panthers are the worst team in the league right now.  The Browns should go off on them.

Tampa Bay +7.5 @ Baltimore

Time for the Bucs to step up and beat a good team.  They probably won’t.  But it should be competitive.

Philadelphia –3 @ Chicago

The Eagles defense will reintroduce Cutler to the turf, where he mad a living the first month of the season.

Green Bay +2 @ Atlanta

Starting to think the Falcons are more lucky than good.  Green Bay will remind them who the best in the NFC really is.

Miami @ Oakland –3

The Dolphins roll into the black hole with their third string quarterback and no Brandon Marshall.  Even Jamarcus Russell could win this game.

Kansas City @ Seattle +2

Both teams suck on the road and are dominant at home.  This game will be played in Seattle.

St. Louis @ Denver –3.5

The Rams haven’t won on the road and Denver should light up the scoreboard at home.

San Diego +2.5 @ Indianapolis

The Chargers own the Colts and are on a hot streak.  Manning has lost two out of three and there’s not much he can do about it without all his weapons.

San Francisco –1 @ Arizona

Worst Monday night game I can ever remember.  The 49ers should be able to eek this one out.

Best Bets:  Seattle, Philadelphia, Cleveland
