Thanksgiving week is here. No pies. No holidays except Saturday.
Six unique games. Sixteen games in total. The Sims and I have each picked a winner.
Last week, Sims overcame three straight disagreements. He went 11-3. 8-6 for me. For the year, I still lead 101-63 to 97-67.
He doesn’t get me against the spread from 7-6-1 to 6-7-1. He has the lead in three games this year.
Below are all the exams for week 12. We didn’t agree on four games.
Thank you video Here it is. Video for 13 other games is coming.
Packers at Lions (-7.5)
Lions are usually the punching bag at Thanksgiving. This year, they are candlesticks.
Florio: Lions, 31-21.
Sims: Lions 31-20.
Commanders in Cowboys (-11)
I see an explosion. The only thing keeping me from falling asleep during the game is having it happen.
Florio: Cowboys, 42-14.
Sims: Cowboys, 27-20.
49ers (-7) at Seahawks.
Seahawks is the kid who thinks he’s finally figured out how to ride a bike. The next four games will show them otherwise.
Florio: 49ers, 28-17.
Sims: 49ers, 27-17.
Dolphins (-10) at Jets.
The term “Black Friday” refers to the dread felt by retailers’ employees the day after Thanksgiving. It’s fitting that the Jets play the first team to host a Black Friday game.
Florio: Dolphins, 21-10.
Sims: Dolphins, 24-10.
Saints (-1) at Falcons
The winner takes the inside track for the right to host the Eagles or Cowboys in the wild card round.
Florio: Saints, 24-20.
Sims: Falcons, 20-17.
Steelers (-1) at Bengals.
With Canada sent to Belize, the Pittsburgh offense should be better. (It can’t be bad.)
Florio: Steelers, 17-10.
Sims: Steelers, 17-13.
Jaguars (-1.5) at Texans.
Jax learned a valuable lesson against the 49ers
Florio: Jaguars, 20-17.
Sims: Jaguars, 27-24.
Buccaneers at Colts (-2.5)
It’s a toss-up game. The winner becomes the most viable competitor.
Florio: Colts, 23-20.
Sims: Buccaneers, 24-20.
Patriots (-3) at Giants.
Super Bowls XLII and XLVI were a long time ago.
Florio: Patriots, 14-10.

Panthers (-3.5) at Titans
The Panthers crumble under the weight of David Tepper’s heavy influence.

After sweeping the Seahawks, the Rams are a potential playoff contender.

The best defense in the NFL has to do enough to score enough points for the offense.

The Chiefs need it if they want to avoid going on the road in the playoffs.
Florio: Chiefs, 20-13.
Sims: Chiefs, 27-13.
Bills (-3.5) at Eagles
Philly’s biggest margin is that they’ve converted first-and-10 to first-and-8.5.
Florio: Eagles, 28-21.
Sims: Eagles, 24-21.

Why are the Ravens only favored by 3.5?
