Mile High Report Mile High Report

For Week 11 of the NFL season, Mile High Report’s Christopher Hart picked 11 of 14 games correctly. Here are his straight up picks for Week 12.

After two weeks of average weeks of picks, I came back strong with 11 of 14 predictions turning out to be correct for Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season.

Through 11 weeks, I’m at 109-58. That’s a shade above my goal of 65-percent on picks for the season. This week there will only be twelve matchups since six teams are on their bye weeks. Those teams are the Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints, and New York Jets.

Good luck to all you fantasy football players trying to sort up your lineups this week. Without further ado, here are my Week 12 predictions. I foresee a lot of wins from road teams. Let’s see if I can keep the hot streak going.

Thursday Night Football – Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns

The Steelers held off the Baltimore Ravens last week in a great matchup. They are now winners of five straight and hold a multi-game lead in the AFC North. I have no reason to expect the two-win Browns to find a way to win.

Winner: Steelers

Sunday Football (Early Game) – Dallas Cowboys at Washington Commanders

This NFC East matchup features two teams trending in the wrong direction. The Cowboys have dropped five in a row and the Commanders have fallen back to earth and have suffered back-to-back losses. Jayden Daniels has slowed down and hasn’t played well since his rib injury, but I think he will do just fine against a Cowboys defense that has given up nearly 300 points this season.

Winner: Commanders

Sunday Football (Early Game) – Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans

The Texans shellacked the Cowboys on Monday Night Football and the Titans wound up losing to the Vikings in Week 11. Houston leads the AFC South whereas the Titans are in the hunt for a Top 5 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. I’ll take Houston.

Winner: Texans

Sunday Football (Early Game) – Kansas City Chiefs at Carolina Panthers

The Chiefs suffered their first loss of the season to the Buffalo Bills last weekend. This week’s matchup for them will be a lot easier for them going up against the Panthers. I’m obviously rolling with Kansas City.

Winner: Chiefs

Sunday Football (Early Game) – New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins need a win against the Patriots to keep their slim shot at the playoffs alive. They’re winners of two in a row and looked good against the Raiders last weekend. I think they’ll be able to handle Drake Maye and the Patriots limited offense at home.

Winner: Dolphins

Sunday Football (Early Game) – Detroit Lions at Indianapolis Colts

The Lions have suffered some significant injuries, but Dan Campbell’s crew still finds a way to win in epic fashion. The Colts winning at home would be an ultimate upset and...
