NFL Week 12 Picks: Looking at the Week's Biggest Potential Upsets

In Week 12 of the NFL season, the following four games might give us the week's biggest upsets.

Green Bay Packers (10-0) at Detroit Lions (7-3)

The Lions haven't been as sharp lately as they were to start the season, but let's not forget that the Lions took down the Packers last season in Detroit.

In that game last December, the Lions whooped the Packers up front on both sides of the football, and Aaron Rodgers couldn't play in the second half because of a concussion. Even before Rodgers went out, though, the Lions were beating up the Packers offense.

If the Lions keep that pressure on Rodgers and can get a couple of turnovers, the Lions will have a great chance at knocking off the Packers.

Miami Dolphins (3-7) at Dallas Cowboys (6-4)

Both the Dolphins and Cowboys have been playing well of late, and each is currently riding a three-game winning streak. Why can't the Dolphins be the team that makes it four straight?

Quarterback Matt Moore is looking like a real NFL starter, Reggie Bush has caught fire and the Dolphins defense is finally playing as well as they should have to start the season.

In a Thanksgiving game in North Texas, there's no reason to think that Miami can't halt the Cowboys' current winning streak.

Houston Texans (7-3) at Jacksonville Jaguars (3-7)

This potential upset comes on the heels of Matt Schaub's season-ending injury and the uncertainty revolving around Matt Leinart as his backup. I think Leinart can play well under these circumstances, but there's also plenty of evidence that says he won't play well in a backup role down the stretch.

If Leinart really struggles, the Jaguars could start a downward spiral for the Texans' 2011 season.

New England Patriots (7-3) at Philadelphia Eagles (4-6)

We all know that the talent level is there for the Eagles to knock off the Patriots.

Philly has big names across the board and on both sides of the ball. They'll probably get both Michael Vick and Jeremy Maclin back, too.

If the Eagles defense can play as well as they did Sunday night against the Giants, Vick and Co. will have a chance to get their 2011 season back in focus.
