NFL – Expert Consensus Picks of Week 12

The Patriots rivalry with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts ran through the two clubs’ tenure together in the AFC East (1970–2001).

The two clubs clashed in several close games, such as on December 19, 1971 as a late Patriots touchdown decided a 21–17 New England win; on September 18, 1978 the Colts rallied to defeat the Patriots 34–27 on Monday Night Football on a virtual one-man scoring rampage by running back Joe Washington; on September 4, 1983 the Colts defeated the Patriots in overtime 29–23 in their final season in Baltimore.

We know some things for certain. The 10-0 New England Patriots are good. So are the equally undefeated Carolina Panthers, the 7-3 Green Bay Packers and the 8-2 Arizona Cardinals.

However, for each thing we know, there are two we don’t. Are the suddenly reeling Atlanta Falcons really any better than the surging Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Are the Kansas City Chiefs the team we thought the Oakland Raiders were?

And how good are the bumbling Cincinnati Bengals and Brock Osweiler’s Denver Broncos? Are they contenders or pretenders?

OK, so maybe things aren’t that sorted out after all.

Still, there are plenty of intriguing storylines and matchups to be thankful for as Week 12 of the 2015 season gets underway.

Even if they don’t make picking the games any easier for the National Lead Writers and NFL Analysts here at Bleacher Report.
