We can’t count our chickens yet, but it’s been historically safe to assume that the Belforti Bros will win their Pick of the Year again, boldly predicting http://TheCorrectAnswer.com

We swept the board on Thanksgiving and here are the rest of the picks for Week 12.

Top 2:

NY Giants -7 vs Minn - Adrian Peterson may play. NY has won 7 0f 8 since 0-2 start and only losses are to GB and Dallas. Minn has #1 rush off and rush D. NY will try to use #18 pass off to exploit #32 pass D of Minn. They will also try to shut down Minn rushing off with #7 rush D. Giants are sitting comfortably in wildcard lead. Minn passing off is awful. They are 1-4 on rd. Tavaris Jackson has 40.6 passer rating on road.Giants will start Reuben Droughns at RB as Jacobs and Ward are injured. Take the Giants on their 2007 playoff run.

TB -3 vs Wash - TB beat Atl last week and now have 2 game lead in their division. Ernest Graham has had (2) 100 yard games. TB is 4-1 at home. Wash lost 3 of 4 games but is 1 game back of wildcard spot. TB has been riding their D who leads NFC in scoring defense (15.1) pts per game and total D (285.1 yards per game.). Key matchup is Wash #8 rush off vs TB #18 rush D and TB #15 pass off vs Wash #24 pass D. Bucs will expose poor Redskin offense.

Other:
Clev -3.5 vs Hou- Clev is 1 game back of Pitt in AFC North. Clev beat Balt last week and swept them for the year. Clev D horrible though alowing 29.4 pts per game and 406.3 yards per game. Hou D bad as well allowing 23.6 pts/game which is 25th in NFL but they are 3rd in Red Zone D. Both teams have great offenses. Clev is 4-1 at home and Hou is 2-3 on the rd. Clev has good return game with Josh Cribbs. Clev is the pick.(Dan note: of course MArk would say that being an Indians fan)
