NFL Week 12


NFL Week 12 WASHINGTON Redskins (3-7) at PHILADELPHIA Eagles (6-4)

Time: 1 p.m. | TV: Chs. 5, 45

Line: Eagles by 9

The Redskins are 0-4 on the road and haven't won away from home since beating Seattle on Nov. 23, 2008. Donovan McNabb will set the team record for quarterbacks by playing his 143rd game. He's currently tied with Ron Jaworski.

The Eagles aren't that much better, but now the Redskins' defense is being hit with key injuries that will be tough to overcome. Eagles 23-17

PITTSBURGH Steelers (6-4) at BALTIMORE Ravens (5-5)

Time: 8:20 p.m. | TV: Chs. 4, 11

Line: Off

This decade, Pittsburgh ranks first in total defense (277.8 yards a game) and Baltimore is second (284.3). Beginning in 1999, the Steelers have allowed an NFL-low 20 100-yard rushers; the Ravens rank second with 21. And the Steelers will be without Ben Roethlisberger.

Pittsburgh has to be thinking the same thing the Redskins did last month: How did it lose to Kansas City? Steelers 13-7

CLEVELAND Browns (1-9) at CINCINNATI Bengals (7-3)

Time: 1 p.m. | TV: Ch. 13

Line: Bengals by 13 1/2

Cincinnati has won eight of its past 10 against its intrastate rival, matching the most dominant 10-game span in series history. Cleveland won eight of 10 between 1991 and 1995. Since Cleveland returned in 1999, the Bengals lead the series 13-8.

Cincinnati folded in the final minutes at Oakland last week. The Bengals' reward: a home game against the woeful Browns. Bengals 27-7

INDIANAPOLIS Colts (10-0) at HOUSTON TEXANS (5-5)

Time: 1 p.m.

Line: Colts by 3

The Colts' franchise-record 19-game regular-season winning streak is the second longest of its kind in NFL history to New England's 21. Peyton Manning has eight 300-yard passing games this season.

Indianapolis is bound to lose a close game at some point, but the Colts have that 16-0 look. Colts 34-24

MIAMI Dolphins (5-5) at BUFFALO BILLS (3-7)

Time: 1 p.m.

Line: Dolphins by 3 1/2

Miami is 4-1 on the road against AFC East rivals under second-year coach Tony Sparano. The Dolphins are 19-3 when Ricky Williams has 100 yards rushing, including their past outing, in which Williams had 119 yards at Carolina.

Our midseason pick to have a second-half resurgence has responded by winning two straight games. Dolphins 17-13

CAROLINA Panthers (4-6) at NEW YORK Jets (4-6)

Time: 1 p.m.

Line: Jets by 3

Jake Delhomme and Steve Smith rank third among active quarterback-receiver combos in receptions (400) behind Indianapolis' Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne (637) and Cincinnati's Carson Palmer and Chad Ochocinco (412).

Jake Delhomme and Mark Sanchez have combined for 30 interceptions. Sanchez's excuse is that he's a rookie. Jets 20-14

TAMPA BAY Buccaneers (1-9) at ATLANTA Falcons (5-5)

Time: 1 p.m.

Line: Falcons by 12

Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris took over defensive play calling for this week's game; coordinator Jim Bates was demoted after an embarrassing home loss to Saints. The Bucs have allowed 294 points, the second-highest total in the league.

Morris has blamed everybody (quarterbacks and coordinators) but himself for the Buccaneers' 1-9 record. Falcons 34-3

SEATTLE Seahawks (3-7) at ST. LOUIS Rams (1-9)

Time: 1 p.m.

Line: Seahawks by 4

The Seahawks are playing the last of three straight road games for the first time since 2000. Seattle has two of the NFL's eight shutouts, both at home, but is 0-5 on road, losing by double digits in the last four.

Just a disgusting game. The only savior - both teams are bad, so maybe it's a repeat of Cleveland-Detroit. Rams 41-37

JACKSONVILLE Jaguars (6-4) at SAN FRANCISCO 49ers (4-6)

Time: 4:05 p.m. | TV: Ch. 9

Line: 49ers by 3

The Jaguars have won three straight and four of five, while the 49ers have lost five of six and are desperate to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Jacksonville has its first three-game winning streak since 2007.

Jacksonville has won three straight to get into wild-card contention. The 49ers are 1-5 in their past six. Jaguars 28-17

KANSAS CITY Chiefs (3-7) at SAN DIEGO Chargers (7-3)

Time: 4:05 p.m.

Line: Chargers by 13 1/2

This will be the 100th meeting between the original members of the AFL. Both teams come in on winning streaks, the Chargers at five and the Chiefs having won two straight for first time this year.

San Diego has control of the AFC West despite the league's fourth-worst run game. Chargers 34-10

CHICAGO Bears (4-6) at MINNESOTA Vikings (9-1)

Time: 4:15 p.m. | TV: Chs. 5, 45

Line: Vikings by 11

The Bears have lost six of their past seven at their Metrodome, winning only in 2006. The Bears have lost five of their past six games, with Jay Cutler throwing at least one interception in each of those games and 13 total during that stretch.

The over-under on sacks by Minnesota and interceptions by Jay Cutler - five sacks and three picks. Vikings 37-14

ARIZONA Cardinals (7-3) at TENNESSEE Titans (4-6)

Time: 4:15 p.m.

Line: Titans by 2 1/2

The Cardinals are 5-0 on road for the first time since 1948. Arizona has topped 400 yards of offense in the past three games, the first time since 1969. Warner has thrown for 742 yards with five touchdowns in two starts against the Titans.

A mysterious point spread considering Arizona is 5-0 on the road. But Vegas has fallen in love with Vince Young. Cardinals 28-20

NEW ENGLAND Patriots (7-3) at NEW ORLEANS Saints (10-0)

Time: 8:30 p.m., Monday | TV: ESPN

Line: Saints by 2

This is the first meeting between Bill Belichick and Sean Payton since Payton became head coach in 2006. New England has won its past six Monday night games. The Patriots have won 17 straight against the NFC.

Two weeks after failing to knock Indianapolis from the unbeaten ranks, the Patriots hand New Orleans its first defeat. Patriots 34-30
