NFL Week 12: 5 Can’t-Miss Games With Huge Playoff Implications
By Bryce Olin
A complete breakdown of the five NFL games with playoff implications that you absolutely can’t miss in Week 12.
With six games left for most teams, five for some, we have finally entered the best part of the NFL season.
The games actually feel like they mean something. The division races are coming down to the wire. The playoff picture, although very cloudy and unclear right now, is becoming more clear by the day.
Plus, we’re about to enter the craziest part of the NFL season.
This is calm before the storm, if you will. If you read my NFL Playoff Picture column from Tuesday, you know how close these division races are.
If not, I’ll explain!
Right now, there are 19 teams within two games of the division lead.
With six games to play, these division races are crazy close. It’s going to come down to the wire, but teams can start to make their claim for the division by taking care of business in Week 12, those who have the opportunity to do so at least.
With that, I’ve ranked the five biggest games of Week 12, listed what’s at stake for both teams, and gave a breakdown and prediction of each game.
Trust me, if you care about the NFL playoffs, you don’t want to miss any of these five games.
