RJ's NFL Picks, 2012 Edition: Week Twelve - Page 2

Part of: NFL Picks

---RJ's Pick: Broncos by 7

Seattle (6-4) at Miami (4-6) 1:00 p.m. (Line: Seattle by 3)

It's not that the Dolphins are all that good at home, but the Seahawks are a putrid 1-4 on the road.

---RJ's Pick: Dolphins by 3

Atlanta (9-1) at Tampa Bay (6-4) 1:00 p.m. (Line: Atlanta by 1)

The Falcons have the NFC's best record, but I expect Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman to exploit their questionable defense.

---RJ's Pick: Buccaneers by 4

Tennessee (4-6) at Jacksonville (1-9) 1:00 p.m. (Line: Tennessee by 3.5)

The Jaguars will be starting Chad Henne this week, and presumably for the remainder of the season. The Titans are somewhat unpredictable, in that they allowed just three points on the road in their last game, while they allowed 51 points at home in the game before that. I'll take the home 'dog here.

---RJ's Pick: Jaguars by 1

Baltimore (8-2) at San Diego (4-6) 4:05 p.m. (Line: San Diego by 1)

The last time the Chargers beat a team not named the Kansas City Chiefs was in Week Two.

---RJ's Pick: Ravens by 10

St. Louis (3-6-1) at Arizona (4-6) 4:25 p.m. (Line: Arizona by 2.5)

Rookie Ryan Lindley will be starting at quarterback for the Cardinals this week.

---RJ's Pick: Rams by 3

San Francisco (7-2-1) at New Orleans (5-5) 4:25 p.m. (Line: No Line)

The 49ers now have something of a quarterback controversy after Colin Kaepernick's extremely strong performance last week against the Bears. Alex Smith should be ready to start this week, but that doesn't mean he'll actually be starting. I really don't think it will matter, though. The Saints are red-hot, having won five of their last six, and are always tough at home.

---RJ's Pick: Saints by 7

Green Bay (7-3) at New York Giants (6-4) 8:20 p.m. (Line: New York Giants by 3)

The Packers have won five straight. The Giants have dropped two in a row.

---RJ's Pick: Packers by 2

*Monday, November 26*

Carolina (2-8) at Philadelphia (3-7) 8:30 p.m. (Line: No Line)

The Eagles have lost their last six games. It's been just a horrible year for Andy Reid.

---RJ's Pick: Panthers by 5
