GOBBLE GOBBLE : NFL MARQUEE MATCH-UPS (WEEK 12)

Happy Holidays ladies and gentleman. We were given a dosage of NFL football this Thursday and now it's Sunday and time to watch more. In case you missed it, the Detroit Lions won their 3rd straight game by destroying the Eagles 45-7, the Panthers gobbled the Romo led Cowboys 33-14 and the Packers were defeated by the Chicago Bears 17-13 to top off the night. Lo and behold, there come a greater than these though. The Marquee Match-ups of Week 12 is detailed within the following. I hoped everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving but now, enjoy another Sunday afternoon of America's favorite game.

Minnesota Vikings @ Atlanta Falcons 1:00 p.m. E.T on FOX

Minnesota and Atlanta faced Week 11 defeats. Atlanta allowed Indianapolis to come into the Georgia dome and dominate them with a second string quarterback. The Green Bay Packers team who conquered a Minnesota team that had been on a flaming winning streak. The 30-13 defeat featured two third down touchdown throws by QB Aaron Rodgers and a crucial HB Adrian Peterson red zone fumble that closed the door on a 2nd half comeback. There is though not a credible reason for me to believe they won't rebound today against the Falcons. Except for the fact that Davonta Freeman... oh yeah... he's still injured. The Vikings may get out to an early league today and I'll make a bold prediction and say that the Falcons might not score more than 10 points. Tune in on FOX.

Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs 1:00 p.m. E.T CBS

The Bills haven't had the easiest of schedules, but they have been very competitive in each of their match-ups. The teams they've lost to feature the Patriots twice, the Bengals, the youthful Jags (In which they didn't have their starting quarterback) and others. Regardless I still have faith in the team from Buffalo. The Chiefs have indeed been on a role and they're looking at the Bills like a pair of fresh meat. The Chiefs defense has been super stout allowing just 3 points to the Chargers last week, 13 to the Broncos the week prior and 10 to the Lions two weeks before that. My goodness if their is any match-up that is a must watch it is this one today. I expect a lot of hard hitting and if the Bills are able to make the plays they didn't Sunday in foxboro they should come out victorious. It'll be a close one.

New England Patriots @ Denver Broncos 8:30 p.m. E.T on NBC

The Denver Broncos don't mind being without Peyton Manning who seemed to be a hinderance with his as my stepfather said "noodle arm." While the Fan favorite passer broke yardage records against the Chiefs in Week 10, his three interception outing called for the appearance of QB Brock Osweiler who produced a win in his first career start against the Chicago Bears in week 11. Brock threw not a single interception and had two touchdowns. Of course the New England Patriots don't care, though they struggled against the Bills defense on Monday Night, they expect to visit Sports Authority Stadium and prove themselves the team to beat in the AFC. As if they haven't already, we'll soon see though. The Broncos certainly have a trick up their sleeve and I like their chances at home tonight.
