NFL Week 12 picks plus options for Raven Emploi Plein temps

Guys, I never thought my fingers would start cramping up while writing a newsletter, but that's exactly what's happening right now. I'm gue sing that probably has something to do with the seven helpings of turkey, nine slices of pumpkin pie and 14 rolls I ate at Thanksgiving dinner, and now that I'm thinking about it more, I deserve every cramp I' Teppo Numminen Jersey m getting.Besides eating yesterday, I also spent six straight hours watching football and let me just say that I'm not sure what kind of deal you can get for a new coach on Black Friday, but the and might want to think of at least looking around. After the pounded Detroit 41-25, I didn't think there was any po sible way that anyone would top Matt Patricia's performance for worst coaching job ever in a Thanksgiving game, but then along came Mike McCarthy.If McCarthy's coaching performance was a Thanksgiving meal, it would be Tofurky. Tofurky tries to trick you into thinking it's Turkey just like McCarthy tries to convince you he's a good coach, but then he goes and does something like calling a fake punt on fourth-and-10 from his own 24. Why would you do that, Mike? WHY?Anyway, I've got some Thanksgiving leftovers calling my name, so let's get to the newsletter. As always, if you want to share this newsletter with everyone you know, I will not be offended. Just . 1. Today's Show: Recapping the two Thanksgiving gamesWe don't take holidays off here, which means we put out a Thanksgiving podcast on Thursday to recap the two games that were played. I was joined by the only two guys in America who drank more wine than me: Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson. By the way, it's probably a good thing that the Ravens-Steelers game got postponed, because at the rate I was drinking wine on Thursday, I'm not sure I would have been capable Teemu Selanne Jersey of podcasting at midnight after a late game.Although we did touch on the Texans-Lions game in the podcast, we spent most of our time talking about Washington's 41-16 win over Dallas. Here were our biggest takeaways from that game: Mike McCarthy called the worst fake punt of all-time.With just under 13 minutes left to play in the fourth quarter, the Cowboys were only trailing 20-16, so how did this game turn into a blowout? Glad you asked. It's all because McCarthy decided to call for the worst fake punt of all-time. On a fourth-and-10 from his own 24-yard line, the Cowboys coach called a fake punt reverse. The punter took the snap and then pitched it to Cedric Wilson, who was 14 YARDS BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE at one point, which means he was going to have to run 24 yards to get the first down. In news that probably won't surprise you, the fake punt failed, Washington scored one play later and the rout was on. You . goes off.Washington's offense didn't get much done through the air, but that didn't matter, because Gibson dominated the game on the ground. The rookie running back rushed for 115 yards and three touchdowns, which is notable, because he became the first rookie since Randy Mo s in 1998 to score three touchdowns in a Thanksgiving game. Ezekiel Elliot Winnipeg Jets Jersey is not the best player on the Cowboys roster.For some reason, Jerry Jones on the team, but I'm starting to think that might not be the case, and if you need proof, just look at this game. For one, Zeke lost a fumble in the second half, and if you're starting to feel like that happens all the time, you're not crazy. Elliott has now lost six fumbles on the season, which is the most by any non-quarterback. Elliott also rushed for just 32 yards on 10 carries. Dear Jerry, has just as much talent and costs a lot le s, you might want to think about using him more.Not only did we talk about both games during the podcast, but we had an insanely long debate about who's going to win the NFC East and every team got at least one vote (The fourth voter was our producer Debo, who is a noted homer, so you can probably gue s who he voted for). When you combine wine drinking with a hot debate about the worst division in football, you get a Thanksgiving podcast to remember. To listen to today's episode -- and subscribe to the podcast -- . 2.

White for a discu sion about their best bets and picks for Week 12.

Ravens-Steelers game in jeopardy, multiple other teams dealing with COVIDThe game between the and the has already been postponed once and it's starting to look like there's a chance it could be postponed again. The problem for the NFL is that , including , and that number doesn't seem to be slowing down. If the outbreak isn't controlled over the next 36 hours, the NFL will almost have no choice but to move the game, which was originally scheduled to be played on Thanksgiving night before being moved to its current time of 1:15 p.m. ET on Sunday (NBC). Let's take a look at the league's options for this game:Keep it where it is on the schedule. As of right now, the NFL has insisted that the game isn't going to be moved and that's likely going to be the case if the Ravens don't have anymore positive tests on Saturday. However, if they do keep the game where it is, that Shawn Matthias Jersey means Lamar Jackson won't be able to play.Move it to Monday or Tuesday. One problem with moving the game is that the Ravens currently are scheduled to play on Thursday in Week 13. If the Ravens outbreak gets worse on Saturday, the NFL could push Baltimore-Pittsburgh to Monday or Tuesday and then move the Ravens' Thursday game against the Cowboys to Sunday or Monday in Week 13. This is how the league fixed the Bills situation in Week 5 when Buffa
