The family plate will be full this week, so I’ve dashed off my Week Twelves way early. With Week 11’s Monday Night Football not even kicked off, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to afford a Playstation 3 with your winnings from the picks in this entry, unless you were smart enough to hire a homeless guy to buy it in stores before they got scalped on eBay.

Here’s hoping you and your bookie enjoy a violence-free holiday, including over-stuffed feed bags, unbuckled pants, a soft place to make an ass-groove and some football.

Week 12 picks:

Miami at Detroit - The Lions are accustomed to playing on this Thursday of Thursdays, where Miami may not be too fond of it.  And if the Lions have any pride, there’s no way they let their former tackling dummy beat them at home.
Tampa Bay at Dallas
Denver at Kansas City
Arizona at Minnesota
Carolina at Washington
Cincinnati at Cleveland
Houston at N.Y. Jets
Jacksonville at Buffalo
New Orleans at Atlanta
Pittsburgh at Baltimore
San Francisco at St. Louis
Oakland at San Diego
Chicago at New England
N.Y. Giants at Tennessee
Philadelphia at Indianapolis
Green Bay at Seattle - Sorry.  Even with a second stringer running for his rain-soaked, Starbucks-filled life for Seattle, I can’t see the Packers beating the Seahawks.
