Week 12 Preview: This Week's Must-Watch Games

Colts-Chiefs: This is a must-win game for the Chiefs. If they lose this game they will fall under .500 and their playoff hopes will be in jeopardy. This would be the first time they've fallen below .500 this late in the season since 2012! Unlucky for them, they have to face off against the Colts, who keep on defying the odds and are looking to secure the number 1 overall seed. Their offense is not far from historic territory stats-wise, led by Jonathon Taylor’s ridiculous year in the run game and Daniel Jones’ resurgence looking like it's here to stay.

Steelers-Bears: This could be a great game to watch... if Aaron Rodgers plays. He has dominated the Bears his entire career (24-5 against them lifetime) and he's certainly itching to get one more win against them. He's haunted their dreams for so many years, and going back to Soldier Field one more time and beating them again- especially when they're on top of the NFC north- would be too good an opportunity for him to pass up, provided he can actually play through the pain and not risk serious injury. If he plays, would he be able to outduel the Bears late in the fourth quarter- something that nobody has been able to do this year yet? Will the bears finally be able to break thorough the curse of Aaron Rodgers which has been hanging over their franchise for decades?

Eagles-Cowboys: The Cowboys come in after a dominating performance over the Raiders which saw their defense really look like it took a step up and played complimentary football. Can they carry that over this week against a much better Eagles team? Playing the Cowboys in Dallas is never easy, so that should even things up a little. The Eagles haven’t looked great recently either, so this could be a close one.

Bucs-Rams (SNF): Shout-out to the schedule makers- they’ve been on fire for the Sunday night and Monday night games. The games haven’t always panned out to be good ones, but the matchups were definitely set up to be so. This week it’s the Bucs and the Rams, with the Rams coming in hot and looking like the best team in the NFC- even the best in the NFL (they’re only trailing the Eagles in terms of betting odds to bring home the Lombardi trophy, and I think they're looking much more complete than the Eagles overall) both on offense and on defense. The Bucs played a great game against the Bills, but they let it slip by them late. Nobody’s denying the Bucs can go toe-to-toe with the best in the league, but this challenge will be their toughest one yet.
