The NFL continues to entertain us week in and week out. Last week, it was a thriller in the Chiefs and Broncos game, a shootout in the Bucs and Bills game, and lots of kicks that made the difference across the league. Divisions are tight and the playoff picture is coming into clear view. There are a lot of big games this week but specifically three in the same conference that could prove to be very important as we come down the home stretch of the season. Here are our Top 3 2025 NFL Games Week 12.
Indianapolis Colts vs Kansas City Chiefs
The Colts enjoyed a bye week after a massive international win a few weeks ago and now have all that extra rest to take to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are coming off a heartbreaking loss and currently sit at 5-5. IF the season were to end today, the Chiefs wouldn’t even be in the postseason, something that seems literally unbelievable. We know that this Colts offense runs through one player…Jonathan Taylor. He scored three touchdowns in his last game against the Falcons. The Chiefs have a pretty good run D and allowed only 30 yards to RJ Harvey last week. This will be one of the best defenses they have to face this season with Steve Spagnuolo dialing it up. My heart is telling me to pick the Colts and watch the Chiefs go below .500 but my mind is telling me to go with Reid and Mahomes. Prediction: Colts 23 Chiefs 25
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Los Angeles Rams
The Bucs have had one of the worst stretches of schedule that I’ve seen in the NFL this season. They’ve faced the Lions, Patriots, and Bills in three of their last four games and now have to travel to LA after a weekend in Buffalo to take on a Rams team coming off of wins over the 49ers and Seahawks. LA has five straight wins and Matt Stafford is playing at an MVP level. He is going to carve up a Bucs defense that just allowed Josh Allen to combine for six touchdowns, three on the ground and three through the air. Baker will score as many points as he can, which is what he has done in that stretch but the Bucs are still winless in those games. They aren’t contenders in my mind. Prediction: Bucs 27 Rams 33
Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys
This Cowboys team isn’t all that fun to watch despite a win over the Raiders on Monday Night Football, but this is a rivalry game, and you throw out the record books in a matchup like this. The Eagles got a win over the Lions on Sunday Night and have four straight wins despite having what seems to be the most toxic locker room in the National Football League. While AJ Brown meets with the owner over his constant social media complaining, the Eagles are racking up wins over good teams. Meanwhile in Dallas, the defense is steadily improving and the additions of Logan Wilson and Quinnen Williams could be meaningful down the stretch. But Dallas is another team without a playoff spot at the moment, and I think Philly will put them in their place. Prediction: Eagles 30 Cowboys 21
