2016 Week #12

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and now it's down to the last six weeks of the regular season in the NFL.  Jason and I took a long view into what the playoff picture may look like, and it's murky.  Some teams at the top of the league have obvious flaws that should trip them up, but it's anyone's guess who will step up in their void and make a long run towards the Super Bowl.  This slate of games could be anyone's guess as well.  We had a hard time feeling very confident in these picks, but we made them anyway.  We'll be going head to head on six games, not counting Jason's Steelers victory on Turkey Night.  Here's our selections for Week 12:
