The Season in a Snap – Week 12
By Noonefromtampa
December 4, 2020
A winning streak: it’s only two games, but it is still a streak. The Washington Football Team took over the Thanksgiving Day game after some suspect play calling by Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. The victory over Dallas was one of the best on Thanksgiving Day in the last 50 years. This week Washington is an 8.5-point underdog against the Steelers, and the over/under is 42.5 points. I have the Steelers winning this week over Washington, in a game that will now be played on Monday at 5 P.M. ET.
The Giants beat the Bengals with Colt McCoy at the helm after Daniel Jones was injured, while the Eagles lost to the Seahawks. The NFC East standings are the Giants in first place, followed by Washington, the Eagles, and the Cowboys in last place. This week, the Giants play the Seahawks, the Eagles are at the Packers, and the Cowboys play at the Ravens on Monday evening.
