Tanners Record To Date: 97-67 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

We went 10-4 for Week 11!

The losses included picking the Commanders to beat the Eagles on Thursday night, as well as the 49ers, Bengals, and Browns to win. Bo Nix may have had his best game in their blowout win over the Falcons.

The Chiefs finally lost, which seemed inevitable with how little points their offense has been scoring.

The Chargers versus Bengals game seemed like it wouldn’t be a game until the second half, but the Bengals season is in jeopardy.

Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase have both had historic seasons.

The Steelers take a firm grasp atop the AFC North after beating the Ravens.

And, the Bears were the Bears after failing to win the game on a blocked field goal by the Packers.

Unsurprisingly, the 49ers lost another divisional game while having the lead in the 4th quarter.

Lastly, the Jets and Cowboys should just tank for high draft position. The Jets defense is putting up worse numbers each week, and are slowly taking as much blame as Aaron Rodgers.

Let’s see what we like for Week 12 of the NFL:

Let’s see what we like for Week 10 of the NFL:

steelers
browns

Steelers (-3.5) @ Browns: Thurs. 6:15p – The Steelers won another game by only kicking field goals, but their defense is that good they can win games by just kicking.

The Browns are in a terrible spot, and might as well tank and try to fall in to a future franchise quarterback. The Steelers win 27-17

lions
colts

Lions (-7.5) @ Colts: Sun. 11:00a – The Lions are certainly the best team in the NFC, maybe even the NFL.

Their high-powered offense, and their defense playing better only shows their progression. They are a young team, and lost their best defensive player for the season, and still drop 50 points some weeks.

The Colts beat the Jets, which at this rate doesn’t count for much. The Colts still have a shot at the division title if the Texans drop a game, and the wild card spots are still a possibility.

The Lions overwhelm the Colts and win 31-21

cowboys
commanders

Cowboys @ Commanders (-10.5): Sun. 11:00a – The Commanders should win this game by a touchdown at least. A bad O-line mixed with no run game has really hurt the Cowboys. Cooper Rush can only do so much, when Dak Prescott wasn’t even playing well. The Commanders just lost to the Eagles, so they need to win to keep the division title within grasp. Commanders win 27-17

chiefs
panthers

Chiefs (-11) @ Panthers: Sun. 11:00a – The Chiefs finally lost, but here is a very easy bounce back. Let’s see if the Chiefs can finally score over 30 points since they have only done it once this year.

The Panthers have quietly won two straight with wins over the Saints and the Giants. Chuba Hubbard has been running the ball well, and is top five in the league for rush yards surprisingly.

The Panthers are in a tough spot. Do they stick with Bryce Young another year, or find is replacement in the draft. Chiefs win 28-7

vikings
bears

Vikings (-3.5) @ Bears: Sun. 11:00a – The Bears were 4-2 until that hail mary catch by Noah Brown against the Commanders. Now, the Bears are 4-6. They have scored 46 points in their last four games. Last game, against the Packers, they lost by having their field goal blocked that would have won the Bears the game, so they should have 49 points!

The Vikings are back on schedule winning three straight. The Vikings are 8-2, but their offense has been struggling.

They are still challenging the Lions for the NFC North division. Vikings win 26-13

patriots
dolphins

Patriots @ Dolphins (-7): Sun. 11:00a – The Patriots are a decent team with a bad record. Drake Maye has been solid for only playing a handful of games. The Dolphins seem to be back, but Tua being out for so long has ruined their season. Dolphins win but don’t cover 27-21

buccaneers
giants

Buccaneers (-5.5) @ Giants: Sun. 11:00a – The Buccaneers lost Chris Godwin for the year, but Mike Evans is back and their offense can still move the ball.

The Giants have moved on from Daniel Jones, and Tommy DeVito has taken over. I liked what DeVito brought to the team last year. He has some moxie and poise that you don’t see form late round/undrafted quarterbacks. Bucs win 24-17

titans
texans

Titans @ Texans (-8.5): Sun. 11:00a – The Texans offense needs to score some 2nd half touchdowns soon.

They finally scored one against the Cowboys, but that was the first in 20 or so possessions. The Titans are abysmal other than Jefferey Simmons and Calvin Ridley. Texans win 27-13

broncos
raiders

Broncos (-5.5) @ Raiders: Sun. 2:05p – The Broncos looked great in their demolition of the Falcons on Sunday. Bo Nix had his best game of the year with 300+ yards, four touchdowns, and throwing at an 85% clip. Wow! The Raiders are just trying to get the quarterback they want, which may be tough if that is Shedeur Sanders. Sanders seems to be the number one option at quarterback, maybe Cam Ward. So, the best thing for the Raiders to do is lose. The Raiders one bright spot this year is Brock Bowers is an absolute stud. Broncos win 28-15

49ers
packers

49ers @ Packers (-2.5): Sun. 2:25p – This is a big game for the 49ers. A win would put them at 6-5. The Cardinals versus Seahawks game will also be a huge game.

The 49ers need a win because if the Cardinals win, they would be at 7-4 and the division lead would potentially too much to overcome.

A wildcard spot from the NFC West is possible, but highly unlikely with the NFC North having three strong candidates. The Packers were lucky last week, but Jordan Love hasn’t been as consistent as last year, so there are holes in this team. 49ers win 27-21

cardinals
seahawks

Cardinals @ Seahawks (-1): Sun. 2:25p – A big game for the NFC West division. A Cardinals win will extend their lead at the top of the division, and a Seahawks win could make this a three-team race for the division title.

The Cardinals have been red-hot and have four straight. Seahawks win 28-25

eagles
rams

Eagles (-3) @ Rams: Sun. 6:20 – The Rams look a lot better once they got Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua back form injury. The Eagles are rolling and atop their division. The Commanders are a game and a half behind the Eagles.

The Rams are tied for second in the NFC West, and a win would help their playoff hopes. I believe the Eagles have too much talent on both sides of the ball and win 31-24

ravens
chargers

Ravens (-3) @ Chargers: Mon. 6:15p – This should be a great game, considering it’s the Harbaugh Bowl. The Ravens are 7-4 and a game and a half behind the Steelers.

As long as both teams keep winning, they should both make wild card spots or better.

The Chargers almost lost to the Bengals after going up 18 points. The Chargers are 4-1 at ho9me and the Ravens are 3-3 in away games. Ravens win 28-21

Bye Weeks: The Atlanta Falcons, the Buffalo Bills, the Cincinnati Bengals, the New Orleans Saints, the New York Jets, the Jacksonville Jaguars
