NFL Predictions: Week 12's Winners and Losers

The Jacksonville Jaguars are 7-3 entering Week 12 and have one of their most important games of the season set for Sunday vs. the Houston Texans.
To keep track of how we see the NFL this year, we will be doing weekly win-loss predictions, tracking our progress as the year goes on.
Last week: 8-6
Season: 99-65 (60.36%)
Jaguars vs Texans
Winner: Jaguars
The Jaguars had Week 3 go just about the worst way possible. They made so many game-changing mistakes in all three parts of the game that made it impossible for them to fend off an upset. I generally think the Jaguars respond vs. a team they will have the motivation to beat and will play a cleaner game this time around.
Packers vs. Lions
Winner: Lions
The Lions are one of the NFL's top-5 teams in 2023. I don't think they are due for a let-down.
Commanders vs. Cowboys
Winner: Cowboys
Sam Howell throwing it 45 times against this defense will be pretty entertaining.
49ers vs. Seahawks
Winner: 49ers
Kyle Shanahan has Brock Purdy playing like a cyborg again. He has been excellent the last two games.
Dolphins vs. Jets
Winner: Dolphins
Tim Boyle.
Saints vs. Falcons
Winner: Saints
I like the Saints' defense against Desmond Ridder in his return.
Steelers vs. Bengals
Winner: Steelers
*best Tony Romo voice* ehhhh oooooo uhhhhhhh I don't know about this one Jim.
Buccaneers vs. Colts
Winner: Colts
I think the Colts win another game they probably shouldn't.
Patriots vs. Giants
Winner: Patriots
The Patriots take down New Jersey's favorite son.
Panthers vs. Titans
Winner: Titans
I have several takes invested in the duel between Will Levis and Bryce Young.
Rams vs. Cardinals
Winner: Cardinals
Kyle Murray is playing better than he probably should be right now.
Browns vs. Broncos
Winner: Browns
The Browns have a complete team but a quarterback position that is in limbo. The Broncos are on a roll, but I think Cleveland's defense makes it work.
Chiefs vs. Raiders
Winner: Chiefs
The Chiefs are a good team but still feel like they are underperforming as a whole. I am not sure that matters this weekend.
Bills vs. Eagles
Winner: Eagles
The Bills got a boost from playing the Jets, but they run into the Eagles at the wrong time.
Ravens vs. Chargers
Winner: Ravens
Lamar Jackson against this defense should be relatively easy, even without Mark Andrews.
Bears vs. Vikings
Winner: Vikings
The Vikings have punched above their weight this season and shouldn't have issues against the Bears.
