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)

Pats 24 Colts 20. Was 50% correct, didn’t count on Pats trying to establish running game. Dramatic game which kept my brother Mark and me on the edge of our seats, but Pats show why they are THE best team in the history of sports!

The New England Patriots are the best team in history, the Super Bowl 41 Champion Indianapolis Colts are just another speed bump; Pats 46, Colts 20. The Belforti Bros flying down to witness the inevitable beating of the former champs to regain our AFC Championship trophy (seen pictured in Indy last Jan).

Reasons this game will be dramatically different than last January’s 34-38 loss? Let me count the ways: Offense: Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Stallworth and a healthy Maroney. On defense: Adalius Thomas, Rodney Harrison & Junior Seau. And no flu this time around.

Web designer Lance Jonn Romanoff, brother Mark and I agree on this 3 team Parlay of the Week: Pats-3.5 up to -7, Chargers-7 at Minn, Redskins-3.5 at NY Jets.

Pitt -3.5 at Cincy - Bengals have not beaten Pitt in Cincy in 6 years. Pitt has great defense overall against pass, run and total points. Look for them to rebound after loss to Denver.

Indy -6.5 at Carolina - 43 year old Vinny starting. Indy coming off good win vs Jax and I am sure wants to remain unbeaten for Pats tilt. Indy has balance off and defense. DeShaun Foster might not start due to injury and it looks like DeAngelo Williams will start.

Tenn -7.5 vs Oakland - Vince Young is back this week. Tenn beat Hou last week with Collins starting. Titans rank 9th in AFC with 22 pts per game and 14th in AFC with 34.6 red zone touchdown conversion rate. Tenn D let up 29 points in 4th quarter vs Hou last week. Tenn Rush D has been stout allowing 59.7 rushing yards a game which is a league low and rank 6th with 290 overall yards per contest. Oak rush off held to 98 yards last 2 games vs SD and KC. For the first 4 weeks, they were ave 194.3 yards per game.

TB -3.5 vs Jacksonville - Jacksonville had been playing well before Indy game. David Garrard will be out for a few weeks. Their backup is horrible. Quinn Gray is his name. He sucks. This will be his first start in the NFL. In relief of Garrard, he went 9 for 24 for 56 yards with two picks and a fumble. Jacksonville will have to rely on 3rd ranked rush off ave 148.5 ypg. Maurice Jones Drew will probably play but sprained his knee Monday night. TB is doing a bit better running the ball but recieve Michael Clayton may be out nursing a right anke and primary kick/punt returner, Mark Jone, is out for the year.Bucs lost to Det lat week 23-16 but had 422 yards on offense. Garcia is playing very well. Big edge at QB to TB.

NY Giants -9 vs Miami in London. NY won 5 straight and Miami winless with no Ronnie Brown and backup QB. Miami has given up 231 pionts which is worst in the NFL including 90 in last 2 weeks. Giants D playing well.

NE Patriots -16 vs Washington - How can you go against the best team, head coach and QB in the H-H-H-HISTORY of the NFL?

1) NY Giants -9 vs San Francisco 49ers, (2) Dallas Cowboys -9 vs Minn Vikings, (3) Pitts Steelers -3.5 at Denver Broncos, (4) Miami Dolphins under 17.5 points team total
