Deep NFL Thoughts For Week 12

            We took the week off last week (the Cowboys did have a bye week after all), but we’re back with a sentence or two about every NFL game this weekend.

Browns @ Falcons

            We here at No Credentials are overjoyed that avid pot smoker Josh Gordon is back on the field. Fans of the blog (all six of you) will remember us waxing poetic about him a year ago when he was carrying three of my fantasy teams to glory.

Fearless Gordon forecast against the shitty Falcons = 6 receptions, 126 yards, 2 touchdowns

Titans @ Eagles

            A valuable lesson was learned by the masses last week…don’t trust Mark Sanchez two straight weeks to lead your fantasy football team. The Titans are crappy enough that LeSean McCoy should limit the amount of impact the Sanchize has this week.

Lions @ Patriots

            Friend of the blog Ethan Hedrick will be at Gillette Stadium for this one. That has no relevance to anything, but I thought I would note it.

Packers @ Vikings

            Green Bay needs to thank their lucky stars that Packer destroyer Adrian Peterson had his suspension extended, although it’s hard to imagine that the Vikings would’ve been galvanized by A.P.’s return. In other words, we don’t know if Peterson’s absence will help or hurt the Vikings.

Jaguars @ Colts

            The over/under for this one is 50.5. Indianapolis might cover that by themselves.

Bengals @ Texans

            Houston kicked Andy Dalton’s ass two years in a row in the playoffs, and the Texans actually looked decent last week with Ryan Mallet under center.

Buccaneers @ Bears

            Under normal circumstances this game would only have an impact on the order at the top of the 2015 NFL Draft, but the NFC South is so terrible the Bucs still could run the table and make the playoffs.

Cardinals @ Seahawks

            At some point Seattle has to wake up and kick someone’s ass.

Rams @ Chargers

            Once upon a time San Diego actually looked like a legitimate threat to make a run to the Super Bowl. Now they can’t block, have no runningbacks, and their defense is garbage. Better luck next year.

Dolphins @ Broncos

            Losing two of your top three receiving threats within one quarter is never a good thing, so we’re pinning last week’s pitiful effort in St. Louis on that. We expect Denver to right the ship this week.

Washington @ 49ers

            Sadly, this one might have to be renamed “The Over-rated Mobile Quarterbacks Bowl”.

GIANTS (+4) over Cowboys
            With a huge game coming up on Thanksgiving against the Eagles, don’t be shocked to see the Cowboys looking a little unfocused for three quarters of this game. If they do win, it will be by no more than three points.

Jets vs. Bills

            One has to pity the poor Bills, who after ceding a home game to Toronto for several years, now have to play a home date in Detroit because of The Snowpocalypse.

Ravens @ Saints

             I’m cheering for the Saints only because I don’t want to see a 6-10 team win the NFC South.
