NFL Week 12 Picks From the MMQB Staff

Our writers and editors pick a winner in all 16 games.

It's back to work for every team across the NFL, as Week 12 brings not just the Thanksgiving tripleheader but also a bye-free week, as we have a 16-game slate for the first time since Week 5.

The drawback of an excellent Thursday set of games is that Sunday is shaping up to be a snoozer, with the Bengals-Titans playoff rematch arguably the best of the bunch. Zach Wilson heads to the bench in favor of Mike White when the Jets host the Bears. The Packers' potential climb back into the playoff picture starts with a tough trip to Philly on Sunday Night Football, while children who have misbehaved will surely be forced to watch every minute of Steelers-Colts on Monday Night Football

Here’s who is picking games straight-up for the MMQB this year:

Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter
Mitch Goldich, editor
Gary Gramling, senior editor
Conor Orr, senior writer
John Pluym, managing editor

BOLD denotes an upset pick.
