The Rest of Week 12

By Dan Rodgers

OK, so I didn't give you my Thanksgiving recap, but I'll include that with the rest of the games early this week. Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot to be thankful for, football-wise.

Ari/Stl 2.5 For some reason, whenever there is a battle of bad teams, I just have to go with the home team
Buf/NYJ 9.5 The spread is probably big because of the last game between the teams, so let's hope for a repeat
Cle/Cin 7 Cleveland plays these games tough and this will probably be a push
Hou 6.5/Jax Houston will win this easy because they will want to show they can compete without Schaub
Car 4/Ind The Colts are awful, I just can't pick them...
TB/Ten 3.5 Tampa sucks, hopefully we will see Jake Locker again
Min/Atl 10 No AP, not All-Day... Falcons win easy
Chi/Oak 4 Caleb Hanie is starting, but I think the Bears defense will step up
Was/Sea 3.5 Washington sucks, they played Dallas tough because that's what they do, but it's always difficult to play in Seattle SURVIVOR (9-2)
NE 3.5/Phi I told you I wasn't taking Philly, even though I can't describe to you how much I hate that extra half point
Den/SD 6 Denver has been playing well, the last game was decided by 5 and Rivers is struggling
Pit 10.5/KC Repeat of last week's game against NE, Steelers win big
NYG/NO 7 The Giants had a huge let down last week against Philly, I think they'll have a hard time rebounding against the Saints

Week 1: 7-9 ATS 10-6 SU
Week 2: 10-6 ATS 13-3 SU
Week 3: 11-4-1 ATS 10-6 SU
Week 4: 9-7 ATS 13-3 SU
Week 5: 6-7 ATS 7-6 SU
Week 6: 10-3 ATS 10-3 SU
Week 7: 9-3-1 ATS 10-3 SU
Week 8: 7-6 ATS 9-4 SU
Week 9: 8-6 ATS 9-5 SU
Week 10: 9-7 ATS 9-7 SU
Week 11: 6-5-2 ATS 11-2 SU
Total: 92-63-4 ATS 111-48 SU

These lines are interesting because you've got the Jets coming off an embarrassing loss who are almost double digit favorites, and Houston just lost their starting quarterback and they are on the road in the division and favored by just under a touchdown. I don't care about the extra half point, the Steelers need to make a statement and the Chiefs are a good team to do it against. If Orton plays then I won't feel as good, but Tyler Palko sucks. Unfortunately, there are a ton of lines with an extra half point, but most of them aren't changing my opinion (i.e. Seattle, Tennessee).

The fantasy playoffs are right around the corner, and I'm going to be in them in every one of my leagues (I think). One league I'm dominating and in first place, and I'm just in the mix in the rest. Don't hesitate to ask any fantasy football questions.
