NFL Week 12 Picks From the MMQB Staff: Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Texans vs. Jaguars

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

It’s Week 12! Thanksgiving has arrived, and with it the stretch run to the playoffs. In addition to the traditional Lions and Cowboys appearances on Turkey Day, the Thursday nightcap is a key NFC West game between the 49ers and Seahawks. And, for the first time, the NFL will stage a game on Black Friday, with the Jets hosting the Dolphins.

Sunday has a full slate as well. The Texans will host the Jaguars with a chance to sweep the season series and create a tie atop the AFC South. The Eagles will host the Bills, the Broncos will put the longest winning streak in the league to the test against the Browns and more.
