New England And Brady Bring Bears Down In Week 12

Right now, the Raiders (+13 1/2) look like the best/worst team in the NFL. Does that make any sense? I guess it does when the Raiders look like the best value on the board for the last four weeks and until they start winning consistently they will continue. The big stats of the week is that Oakland has lost 12 consecutive division games. They are not getting blown out, though. San Diego is a scoring machine and LaDainian Tomlinson eats up the Raiders. The Raider defense won't win a game by itself, but they will keep the score low and close.

New England (-3 1/2) is a juggernaut. When Brady's Pats are the featured game of the week they usually deliver. Brady is cool under pressure and Chicago's Rex Grossman....isn't so much. The names may change on Belichick's defense but the results never do. The Monsters of the Midway will meet their match, at least, on this Sunday.

The Giants are reeling but I'm still sticking with them for a date in Miami. A road game in Nashville, might be confluence of bad omens starting with the rise of the Titans' (+3) Vince Young. It seems like he's getting the hang of competiting at this level and with a home crowd behind him taking three points seems like a safe bet especially if they can keep the score low and hope for N.Y.'s Eli Manning to make mistakes.

The Record: 26-14-2.
Last Week: (Thanksgiving) 2-1.
The Wager: $20 Pick 3
The Winnings: $420.00
