NFL Suicide Pool Pick Week 12

For Week 11, we selected the Miami Dolphins as our suicide pick and kept our perfect record intact...although we did receive a scare. After being in control for the entire game, the Raiders returned a 93-yard punt to take the 15-14 lead before Miami nailed the last second victory to prevail. No one said this thing would be easy...

For Week 12, our selection is the Denver Broncos. Although Denver has been inconsistent for most of the year, they are coming off two consecutive road victories and now get the hapless Raiders in the friendly confines of Invesco Park.

Here's how we see this game unfolding. Offensively, we like Denver to attack through the air. With Cutler's full arsenal of play makers back–Marshall, Royal and Scheffler, there will be ample opportunities to attack Oakland's depleted secondary and then look for Shanahan to turn to the running game once the lead is solidified.

Defensively, while not a strong point for the team, they face a very limited Raiders' offense that has no rhythm in the passing game and very little in the running game. The fact that they haven't scored more than 10 points offensively since Week 7 tells you all you need to know about the Oakland Raiders.

Look for an easier win than in recent weeks for Pro Football 101 and then you can get a jump on your pick for Week 13.
